Do we have a chance with this kid?

No. We should just tucker our tails and run.

He just committed. Expect a woof soon.

Encino (Calif.) Crespi cornerback Chance Tucker may “only” be a three-star recruit on paper, but he’s a very coveted prospect by many schools across the country. The 6-1, 170-pounder from the class of 2021 is closing in on a decision, one coming in the very near future.
Irish Illustrated has the latest.
In talking with Tucker on Tuesday, there are five schools still in play down the stretch — Notre Dame, Washington, Washington State, Colorado and Oregon State. These are the heavy-hitters among his list of over 20 scholarship offers.
However, my feeling is that this is a Notre Dame-Washington battle. Here’s why.
Not sure this has been reported anywhere yet, but Tucker and his father actually visited Notre Dame on their own over July 4 weekend. It’s rare for visits to go under the radar, but that is exactly what took place. The overnight trip was their first to South Bend and it was one that Tucker enjoyed. In addition, Tucker and his father then visited Washington on July 7.
"The campus there is beautiful. It has a special feel to it,” said Tucker of Notre Dame.
"They're both very different places. Washington's also very beautiful, and the water aspect makes it stick out as well,” said Tucker of Washington.
With his decision quickly approaching, one he says that is coming “within a week or two,” he shared what the school he chooses will possess.
"For me, it's always been academics,” said Tucker. “Then secondly, I would say player development. Not only developing me as a player to help me reach my goals of being in the NFL, but also as a man as well, one that's going to be able to strive the rest of my life. Lastly, I'll just say being able to have a true college experience."
It’ll be interesting to see what Tucker does over the next week or so. Either way, one school will be getting a very talented prospect.
"I'm a 6-1, 170-pound lengthy corner. I'm hard-working. I'm very aggressive. I'm not going to shy away from tackling people. I know that's one thing that many corners lack, tackling liability. I'm always looking for big hits and interceptions and pass breakups. Lastly, I'll say I have a high football IQ." -

Damn this bi-polar -
At least we still beat ND, right?
-
These quotes sound exactly like our recruiting pitch. And Brian Kelly killed a staffer. So there’s that.
Dong me with a Udub prediction. -
I like this dude. Very KT-esque, but he might be more physical.

I'm glad the university administration decided the move the campus from downtown to Montlake in 1891 so that we could attract future football recruitsinsinceredawg said:Encino (Calif.)

Notre Dame- “I was at Notre Dame over the 4th of July weekend and really liked it there a lot. I went to Washington a few days later and it was cool to be able to compare the two schools to each other. Notre Dame was probably more rural but very pristine and a beautiful campus. We walked the whole campus and it’s an incredible place and you can kind of feel the tradition and aura of the University. It’s a dead period so we couldn’t meet with the coaches or see the facilities but we still talked with the coaches over the phone and they were telling us where to go and what to see. We got to see thee stadium and my dad, who was with me, he has been to a game before and he really enjoyed the visit as well. Everyone we met walking around treated us great and the visit couldn’t have gone any better honestly.”
“I love the coaching staff too. They’re great coaches and great people as well. A big part for me in my decision is development and I think they have a staff that does a great job developing players and that’s on and off the field. This is a decision that is based just as much on academics and life after football and Notre Dame is really tough to beat in those areas. Coach Mickens and coach Lea are my primary recruiters and I have a really good relationship with both guys. I like them a lot and can tell they care about their players as more then just athletes. At the beginning of this process, my plan was to use football to get the best education I can get and that’s why Notre Dame is such a great opportunity for me.”
Washington- "I really liked it at UW. Being able to visit a few days after the Notre Dame trip was cool to be able to compare the two schools to each other. I couldn’t meet with the coaches or see the football facilities since it’s a dead period but just like with Notre Dame, I was able to talk with them and they were telling me some spots to make sure I checked out on the campus and around the city. I like the campus a lot. It’s a beautiful place andI love the setting with the water right there leading up to the stadium. Everyone I met treated me great and I had a really good vibe there. It was different being there with what's going on with Covid, so there weren’t that many people around but I still got a good feel for the place and there are so many opportunities after football and that’s big for me.”
“We walked the entire campus and I saw the dorms, the Business School buildings, since that’s what I plan to major in and saw the outside of the stadium. I have a great relationship with the coaching staff and talk regularly with coach Harris, coach Brown and coach Lake. A big part of my decision is finding a staff that I trust and feel comfortable with and I definitely have that with those guys. They do a great job developing defensive backs and I know they can help me become the best player and the best man I can be. A big thing with UW is they want to develop you as a person too and even with coach Petersen gone, they still have the Built For Life Program and I really like what the school has to offer football wise and for life after football.”
While Tucker didn’t say he was down to Notre Dame and Washington, it’s not hard to deduct that. He doesn’t plan on visiting his other three schools before he makes his decision and it's obviously tough to envision him committing to a school he has never seen.
“The biggest thing will be gut feeling. I’m still trying to gather as much information as I can about both schools but I feel like I know a lot about each of them already. Football is big for me but ultimately, academics will play the biggest role. Like I said, I'm looking for opportunities when football is over and that's why it's such a tough call. -
We don’t lose to ND in recruiting

On the field OTOH...

So he gets into ND’s stadium but not Husky stadium? I understand coaches can’t meet/host a recruit but how is it to have someone text him and tell him to an open gate at a certain time so he can walk on the field?KrunkJuice said:

Don't think the "on the field" aspect of the tour will be a major decision point ...
This feels like a UW win to me ... 7 inch dong -
Man, I don’t understand how recruits that care about academics don’t mention UW’s APR record score or the fact that UW is one of the best public universities in the nation. You have to think the coaches are selling that...right???

Biggins w/ the 8 incher for Notre Shame.

He gone

This may be a wrap for Will Harris. It was a bit surprising they brought in Terence Brown but after this seasons performance at DB.
-
Nuke Will Harris into the sun and have Jimmy take over DB recruiting again. It’s not like he’ll be coaching games any time soon
-
What to do with the other DB coach? He’s not a good recruiter either.NEsnake12 said:Nuke Will Harris into the sun and have Jimmy take over DB recruiting again. It’s not like he’ll be coaching games any time soon

So let's break this down:
2017 DB Class/Lake Co-DC, DB Coach:
-Molden, 4 star
-Taylor, 4 star
-McKinney, 4 star
2018 DB Class/Lake DC, DB Coach
-Irvin, 4 star

-Hampton, 3 star
2019 DB Class/Lake DC, DB and Harris DB Coach
-McDuffie, 4 star

-KamFab, 4 star
-Cam Williams, 3 star
2020 DB Class/Lake DC, HC and Harris DB

-McCutcheon, 3 star
Whiffed on Denzel Burke, Jaylin Smith, JD Coffey, Steven Ortiz, Philip Riley, Jaylin Davies, Chance Tucker. Clearly, not trending in the right direction. Ugh.

I enjoyed that Ektard said this prior to the ND Crystal Dongs that went out:
“ For those wanting to read something into this offer going out, I'd put on the brakes for the time being. While the offer might seem to be extended because either Chance Tucker or Vincent Nunley has told Washington he's headed elsewhere, but from the information I have, I believe this offer was extended to make sure the Husky coaches have their bases covered in case either of those guys decides to go elsewhere. “
Then the 8 incher happened.

Good to see that my kids of death materialized ...
The fact we may lose a DB recruit to ND ... if that doesn’t wake Lake up nothing will -
We already lost Philip Riley to them early in the year. ND beat us out for both db recruits we were competing forTequilla said:Good to see that my kids of death materialized ...
