Domonique Orange Commits!

[VeloClone]

According the 247 guy it was really only between KU and ISU. OSU, TAM and Oregon all said they weren't recruiting him.

And supposedly he was a backup plan to Ahmad Moten.

Source - I saw a a tweet someone posted from Swain.

This is what I was wondering. I'm not a big fan of the Cliff Alexander hat switch in general; but this seems like a legitimate reason to eff with OSU so I am perfectly fine with it. Hopefully they are coming courting him to transfer in a couple years and he tells them:

Welcome to Ames Domonique!

How is he only listed as a 3 star guy? I didn't realize Ohio State recruited 3 star guys.

Everyone recruits "3 Stars". Not every guy that signs with a blue blood is a "5 star"... 2 of the top four classes in 2021 (on 247 sports) had more 3 stars than 5 stars and every class has a few. Its not like top schools look up what the recruiting services think, and then only offer a kid who is a "5 Star", or "4 Star", etc.

Schools evaluate the players, determine if they are good enough for a scholarship offer. They don't use 247 rankings to decide.

 

[cygrads]

Yup.
Domonique wanted to be close to family and play for a big time program.

Yep that left KU, KSU and Missouri out of the pic!

 

[brett108]

Huge get!

Literally.

 

[abcguyks]

Will he be able to enroll in the spring?

Sports story about him here in KC about a week back said that he was planning to graduate early after fall semester so it sounded as if he would be an early enrollee. That would be huge to get him in the S&C program and on a good diet (if the weight problem stories are true).

 

[BigLame]

Awesome get. Welcome, D.O.
Campbell & crew have recruited KC area pretty well - something prior staffs did not do well. Love making in-roads there. Eli Rasheed is a great DL coach, too.

 

[EvilBetty]

Has CMC ever had a commit with a better offer list?

Pretty much my thoughts as well. I can get the big schools not having to take a chance on that, they get who they want for the most part. But nothing I've seen makes it feel like unfixable issues, and it's probably something that will be apparent pretty quickly if it'll be something he can overcome with the trainers and nutritionists available at a D1 school.

Put Mr. Orange on a strict BBB&E diet - beef, bacon, butter and eggs (basically, carnivore diet) and within months that flab'll be gone.

Tossing that hat suggests he has chip on his shoulder. I like chips

There are about 35 "5 star" players/year. Over all its a small number.

Dominique O was the defensive player of the year in KC metro. That's big time folks. Kid is obviously super talented.

Strength of a good D starts on the interior D line and we continue to build there. Love this late pickup.

Not every list is the same so there are some who might be 5 star on one list and not another so there are more that can claim to be 5 star. But your point is absolutely correct, there aren't many.

You must be wrong. All of Iowa's recruits are 5 star or just ready to be moved up.

Love me some D Line.

I love the pickup but the way players flip now I won’t get excited until the season starts

 

[cyclones12321]

That is a BiG dude.

Wow I love the hat throw

 

[Halincandenza]

Was once a hug recruit so it seems he has the potential. Don't know what happened with his recruiting but definitely a kid worth taking on.

 

[JM4CY]

A lot of us on CF weigh 300 lbs . . .

They hate us cuz they ain't us.

I once worked with a Dominique Greene.

True story.
