Don't be surprised if Beck isn't the only DB recruit we try to poach from Miss St. There will likely be 1 more visiting real soon.

Landon Guidry is the only Miss St DB commit that isn't already enrolled.

Unbelievable work to get Armstrong here. Maybe the best recruiting accomplishment yet.

I'm trying to figure out if you're serious or not

Armstrong is a top 500 recruit. My guess is serious.

I believe he's referencing the Mo Linguist connection. Beck is a Texas Tech verbal, though.

I will never understand how ND recruits so well still. They have to be one of (or THE) biggest underachieving college football teams over the last 15 years.

I blame it on the movie "Rudy",

Completely serious. To get a kid like this on campus that has 10+ power 5 offers including heavy interest from Norte Dame and Baylor?

Missouri WR commit Jafar Armstrong visiting today.

There is something off with his Hudl video. It is extremely jerky, faster than normal camera jitter, and it appears to be sped up a quarter beat. I don't know, maybe I had too much caffeine today but this looks like potential BS. Maybe it has a poor frame rate or something else going on. Tell me I'm crazy.

Watching it right now. What I'm seeing is a man among boys, and I'm not sure I've ever seen wider lanes to run through than what he had on those KO returns. #KansasFootball

Looked up his team. They scored 50-60 points per week most of the season. Only loss was to Harry Van Dyne's team. Maybe Harry can help get him to commit.

Yes. I should have worded it better. Beck is a TT commit but was supposedly on verge of flipping to Miss St 2 months ago. Linguist has another CB he recruited real hard when he was there now coming here to visit. I think Fleck is gonna largely lean on Linguist to sort through the DB mess and react as needed.

It all looked normal if you look at the refs and people on the sidelines. The blocking on the kick returns is ridiculous! We could paddle our canoe through those easily.

How could anyone want to leave that kickass locker room? On a side note......badass shoes, Jafar.

I wonder if they are at the bball game, pretty good atmosphere there it looks like.

I believe they all are and I believe Carroll is too. It was certainly a great atmosphere for recruits to be at even though we didn't get the win.

Jafar Armstrong is going to be tough to get, but I'm sure they're working him hard. Ron Johnson tweeted at him a couple times.
