Midweek Recruiting Update: Johnson offer, latest on Colzie, and more

A look at the latest recruiting news for Notre Dame Football.

It’s safe to say that it’s been fairly quiet on the recruiting trail for the Irish. The coaching staff changed that last night, as they offered Northwestern commit Theran Johnson.

The instate cornerback has been committed to the ‘Cats since May 3 of this year, Johnson is a very solid prospect. He stands six-feet tall and weights 170-pounds. The offer should catch Johnsons attention as aside from Northwestern, every other one of his offers are from non-Power Five schools.

I love this offer, Johnson is a player that might take some time to develop, but getting some of the better talent in Indiana to play for the Irish is a positive development. Almost all of the top 25 players in the state are heading off to a Power Five team, the Irish only have a commit from Blake Fisher. Yes, he’s a big one, literally and figuratively, the top overall player in the state.

Looking ahead at what’s to come for the Irish, the potential for Georgia wide receiver Deion Colzie to rejoin the class is looking better and better as we inch towards his commitment date on the 28th of this month.

Tom Loy, of Irish Illustrated, changed his crystal ball pick to the Irish. That gives me a ton of confidence that as of right now, Colzie is trending to rejoining Lorenzo Styles Jr. as the wide receivers in the 2021 class.

Right now the class consists of nine players on offense: quarterback Tyler Buchner, running back Logan Diggs, Styles Jr., Fisher, offensive tackle Joe Alt, guard Rocco Spindler, center Pat Coogan and tight end’s Mitchell Evans and Cane Berrong.

The defensive commits are a group of nine as well: defensive tackle Gabriel Rubio, defensive ends David Abiara and Jason Onye, linebackers Prince Collie and Will Schweitzer, and defensive backs Philip Riley, Ryan Barnes, Chance Tucker and Justin Walters.

The group of 18 players ranks 12th at ESPN, 13th at 247Sports and 11th at Rivals. Brian Kelly has a solid group of three players committed in the 2022 class: offensive tackle Joey Tanona, tight end Jack Nickel and safety Nolan Ziegler.

It has been a bit slow, but with Colzie’s timeline to recommit set and spatula being brought out to flip Johnson, there could be some positive movement for the Irish. Stay tuned to Fighting Irish Wire for the latest in Notre Dame Football recruiting.

Will Irish commit Diggs make you forget about missing out on Shipley?

Notre Dame finally got their running back in the 2021 class, but will the commit of Logan Diggs make your forget about losing Will Shipley?

The Irish gained a commitment from Louisiana running back Logan Diggs this week, but the sting of missing out on North Carolina’s Will Shipley still is there. Rivals recruiting experts Mike Farrell and Adam Gorney played fact or fiction if Diggs will ultimately be better than Shipley. Not so fast my friends, as Lee Corso would famously say on ESPN.

Both Farrell and Gorney believe that the statement is fiction, although both think that Diggs is underrated compared to his class of 2021 peers. I see Diggs as having tons of untapped potential, and so do Rival’s experts. Farrell noted that Diggs “missed some time due to injury as a sophomore and is just starting to emerge as a playmaker. He’s not Shipley, but he’s a solid replacement.” Gorney see’s Diggs as “underrated in this class, has great film, is a dynamic back who has make-you-miss ability and will be a nice weapon in Notre Dame’s offense, but there’s only one Will Shipley in this class.”

Yes, losing Shipley hurt. Hurt a lot, but the addition of Diggs will help ease the pain. The state of Louisiana is set to begin practice’s for high school teams tomorrow, but their season will soon be adjusted. As long as Diggs is able to continue his breakout from last year, he will rise in the rankings and hopefully will make every forget about missing out on Shipley.

Notre Dame welcomes top running back target for virtual visit

Notre Dame has had tough luck recruiting the running back position in 2021 but are said to have had a productive virtual vist on Thursday.

Notre Dame has added some nice recruiting pieces in their 2021 class but are yet to land a commitment from a running back.

Logan Diggs is rated as a three-star running back from Metairie, Louisiana and currently holds 25 scholarship offers.  On Thursday he visited virtually with Notre Dame.

No commitment was made but the visit must have gone well considering Diggs decided to go with the ALL CAPS while typing “great”.

In all seriousness, it’s at least a step in the right direction.  For whatever it’s worth, 247Sports doesn’t seem to have Notre Dame as a real contender for Diggs as Arizona State, Arkansas, Michigan State, Oklahoma State and USC all receive the “warm” status in regards to his recruitment while Notre Dame gets hit with “cool”.  The Irish were later to the party than others, only having offered Diggs a scholarship on May 5.

Diggs is listed at 6-0, 195 pounds and ran for 924 yards on 165 carries at Archbishop Rummel in Louisiana last year, helping guide his team to a 13-0 record and a Louisiana Division I state championship.

MSU Football makes top-10 for recruitment of 2021 3-star RB Logan Diggs

Michigan State has made the top-10 for 3-star 2021 running back Logan Diggs out of Archbishop Rummel.

With five players already committed to their 2021 recruiting class, Michigan State Football could have another 3-star joining that group as 3-star running back Logan Diggs put MSU in his top-10 choices for his recruitment on Saturday, which he posted in a Tweet.

Diggs, who is currently playing for Archbishop Rummel in Metairie, Louisiana, is the No. 26 ranked running back in the 2021 class according to 247sports and their No. 12 ranked player in the state of Louisiana. The Spartans offered Diggs back at the start of March.

Here is Diggs announcement from Twitter:

 

Michigan State Football offers scholarship to 2021 3-star RB Logan Diggs

If there is one thing new Michigan State Football head coach Mel Tucker has done since taking over for Mark Dantonio is send offers to top talents around the country, and that goes doubly so for top running backs as of late. On Monday evening, 2021 3-star running back Logan Diggs announced on Twitter that he had received an offer from new running backs coach William Peagler and the Spartans.

Diggs, who is currently enrolled at Archbishop Rummel High School in Metairie, Louisiana, is the No. 12 ranked player in the state of Louisiana and the No. 33 ranked running back in his class, according to 247sports.

Last week, Tucker and Peagler offered three 4-star running backs on the same day. They also had offered another 3-star rusher in LJ Johnson Jr. Mel Tucker was recruited (had to use the wordplay) to Michigan State for his own recruiting reputation, and he has quickly started firing off offers left and right since joining the school. Only time will tell how many of these offers turn into recruits (and how many of those recruits turn into strong players), but it’s definitely an interesting story to keep an eye on.
