Offer #33 Dwayne Kelly Jr 6'1/180 athlete from PA 23 offers - pinned offer is Maryland; Mix of FCS and FBS My best guess is we are looking at Kelly as a DB. But he can play either WR or DB. Interesting he played his Junior Season at Allentown Central Catholic in PA but will play his Senior year at St. Frances Academy in Baltimore, MD.

Interesting he played his Junior Season at Allentown Central Catholic in PA but will play his Senior year at St. Frances Academy in Baltimore, MD. St. Frances was coached in the late 2010s by Biff Poggi, a billionaire former hedge fund manager turned football coach. After some controversy regarding his recruiting practices, he joined the staff at Michigan and last year became the head coach at Charlotte (f/k/a UNC Charlotte) where he went 3-9. I suspect that St. Frances is still a Baltimore football powerhouse. BTW, St. Frances is the oldest majority black Catholic HS in the country with its initial opening in the 1820s.

Wilk can play. Missed 8 games with an injury last year but massive frame, long arms and good feet. Needs to be coached up a bit re. technique. I will be very curious to see his senior year film. Lots of Upside.

Resetting the deck for June as the June 1 to July 4 recruiting sprint is the first major benchmark. Most programs like to have ~20% of their scholarship players committed by July 4th which would put this class’ earliest commits at ~4. We had 6 committed by July 4th last year although 2 (Watson and TJ) ultimately de-committed after Chesney’s departure
HC June OV weekend will be June 21-23. I would think coaches are likely finalizing invites and RSVPs this weekend. You will also have several kids take solo OVs if they can’t make it up that entire weekend.
Best guess of the position breakdown/needs of the scholarship class as of today:
Offense - 1 QB, 1 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE/Y Flex (which means a more receiving oriented TE), 4 OL
Defense - 1 DT, 1 Combo DE/DL, 2 LBs, 2 DBs. Plus a P/K.
After tracking the recruitment of the board, here are the players I’m watching. If someone’s not listed it does not mean they aren’t in the mix, I just think they might be a longer shot given their offers and perceived interest in HC via social media.
QB - Gardner, Belin RB - Hugo (only offer so far) WR - Early, Honesty (only offers) TE/Y - Soltis OL - Wilk, Sulzberger, Cunningham, Rayner, Hoey DT - Brown, Taylor, Ferrara DE/DL combo - Kara, Eber, Steel LB - Georgs (only offer, they must love him) DB - Grayton, Kelly, Levrone, Redfern, Davis P/K - Welch, Checkley

Thanks 05. Curran looks really focused on landing some bigger time OL. He also took a cut at that Wyoming xfer center that went UND.

Lots of Upside. Offers #32 & #34 play for very good programs. HC used to recruit the Chicago Catholic League heavily and even hosted luncheons for the League in Chicago when I attended HC. HC still gets quality players from Loyola Academy but there are good players at Mount Carmel, St. Rita and a few other schools. I don't know if the recruiting efforts have waned with this league or not.

Not saying he’s going league lol. Just that his size, and the way he moves is similar to Liam. Also, you could play him all over the field. Inside, outside, stand up edge rush on the DL or outside the box in pass coverage. Just saying his role could be similar to what Liam did for HC.

We need the great Dave Dugan to start exerting more influence on Gonzaga HS recruits. I saw Dave at the Army game. In typical Dugan fashion, he was wearing a purple Holy Cross sweater from probably 1972. And I agree, if we’re going to be hitting the WCAC (Gonzaga’s conference) more often…would love to get him with Coach Curran. Guy bleeds purple. Tough as nails LB. He is being somewhat recruited by a rising junior on the OL who is also being pushed in our direction by his Coach

I couldn't follow.

I think Ed is speaking about Gonzaga DL Ethan Brown (didnt “quote” his original offer) and that both Coach Trivers as well as another Gonzaga teammate are pro Holy Cross.

Not sure why the first tweet embedded but the other two didn't.
Of note, the first two were phone calls from HCDC and Owen had a visit and workout on campus
