It's been a terrific couple of days for the Wave, who landed commitments from a trio of three-stars in Cornelius Dyson, Justin Ibieta and Noah Taliancich.
Dyson is an intriguing DB prospect who's physical, albeit raw. I know that the staff thinks he can be a player in the secondary down the road and Coach JJ likes his length.
Ibieta is a bit of a project at QB, but he turned heads at Rivals Camp in NOLA in March. He has great arm strength and outstanding mobility, and that should showcase itself in the Tulane offense. Kentucky was one of a few P5 schools taking a look at Ibieta, who is firmly committed to Tulane.
Taliancich is an interesting one. He gained about 30 pounds this spring and is now an athletic DT. UL took his early commitment, but he mentioned he grew up a fan of the Green Wave. Although the staff waited until he got his weight to 280 to offer, he flipped early Monday morning -- to his dream school. It's a nice story
One name to watch in the coming days is three-star John Curtis DE Angelo Anderson. Anderson holds offers from Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisville, West Virginia, but there are rumblings out of John Curtis he could wind up Uptown. It would be a mighty steal for Tulane. Although Anderson is a bit undersized, he's effective and provides a great push off the edge. He had double-digit sacks as a junior. He thought Alabama or Mississippi St would offer this spring, and because they didn't, he may be inclined to make a decision earlier than anticipated.
One other name to watch is Anderson's teammate, QB Collin Guggenheim. With a commitment from Ibieta, Guggenheim projects as an ATH for the Wave. They have been showing interest all spring and would be willing to offer/take his commitment as a RB/ATH. I could see him on some running plays and mainly special teams. If an offer is extended soon, it could lead to a commitment from two Curtis products.
