Local product who was on hand for the Irish Invasion and impressed some of the Notre Dame analysts including Coach D @ Rivals.
Would be a good replacement for Pouncey.
This is a kid that Notre Dame probably should have offered earlier than they did but at this point it is what it is.
Home state kid with some other good offers and positive reviews from some analysts.

Those aren't exactly tier 2 schools and that's not exactly desperation. There have been and will be some more borderline offers that go out down the stretch but I don't think Hippenhammer is one them. He's a legit prospect and the Rivals guys specifically thought he could/should be offered after the Irish Invasion.
Best to ignore the "star" rankings (some of the time). An offer list is usually the best gauge of where the player fits in the world of recruiting.
Go Irish Go
