2025 C Tommy Ahneman -> Notre Dame

[Handy Johnson]

I would’ve bet you 100 bucks he was headed to Lincoln. Who does he think he is, Kelly Tripuka…? 

[AuroranHusker]

That image of T.A. with his N.D. vest and legs spread apart, oh boy. Giving off vibes that I'd rather have not known about. Yikes.

 

Wish him well, maybe he'll wind up in Lincoln after his eventual transfer in 2026.

I am going to put in my first ever basketballjones Crystal Ball prediction on this one... I think he is "N." His comments, on how he felt about the visit, seem like we made a real personal and emotional level connection with this young man. 

 

Seems we could say that about every recruit and they they somehow sign with another school.

We cannot land everyone we want.  The kid made a decision, respect it and move on.

Perhaps you needed to bet a lot more money and buy bet I mean give to 1890's basketball fund

Just my way of pointing out that we might be losing these close battles in recruiting because of NIL

[basketballjones]

Well then. Must be needing some windex on my crystal ball...

Certainly, I’m also wondering since he was at Cretin-Duram his Catholic Faith might have led him to Notre Dame.

Notre Dame has had quite the recruiting run over the last two weeks. Shrewsberry clearly has sold some folks on his vision, and for what its worth, I'd buy into that vision too. 

 

I think Shrewsberry is on the fast track to the upper echelon of coaches in the sport.

Was a big fan of his at PSU. Very glad he didn't stay in the big ten. Last year felt like just a bad year for him without the kind of guys he'd want. They have killed the 25 class so far, and they were the one school I was worried about because I didn't know a connection to Tommy from ND.

Being able to kids in Indiana "yeah Purdue runs good offense now, but I'm the reason they started to run good offense in the first place," isn't too shabby of a recruiting pitch.

I don't know why I didn't see this - but Tommy Ahneman is such a Notre Dame name. Reminds me of that QB we recruited 20 years ago, who was also a boxer.
