If Milton passes the test does ND offer him and if so would this be the end of Cyrus Gray chances with ND

he now has a florida offer per scout

**mikejND** · 12-16-2007, 09:04 PM

he's had a Florida offer for a bit now. I honestly think we will offer him before it's said and done, and he'll be another member of the 08 class.

Do we really have room for another RB?

**jonesman** · 12-16-2007, 09:23 PM

In my opinion, I do not think we should take this guy. He is a good RB, but nothing special. We currently have 3 guys who will take majority of snaps the next 2-3 seasons. Jonas will be solid. I just feel that Milton will get buried in the depth chart and may end up wanting out. Most likely he will be sitting for 3 seasons.

Well he has grown up as a ND fan so I'm not sure he would want out. That being said it makes no sense to offer him now. We may end up with both G. Robinson and D. Walker and maybe even K. Page. It's a great class but peoples eyes are larger than the scholarship stomach. We have 4 RB's already, most with a lot of eligibility left.

I doubt we offer him, and I hope he does well wherever he lands.

IMO, anyone (within reason obviously) who wants to be at ND is worth having.

1) Whatever his star rating or his HS tape shows now may have nothing to do with how he looks in the future. Tom Brady was a 40th (remember, i don't exagerate) round draft pick??; 2) for 2008, we will have 1-Jr, 2-So, 1-Fr running backs on scholarship. all four of them could go down with injury. Other schools we love to hate (USC) can manage with 8-10 rb's on scholarship. I would love it if we had that problem; 3) the system CW uses doesn't require the randy moss's or the calvin johnsons. stable guys like wes welker or david givens thrive even though they may not be the most gifted players. 4) as young as he is, i don't think what he's done under HS coaches is the limit of his ability or talent.
