Sorry, I am an idiot. Of course it means fullback. I had a momentary loss of brain function. That was an error you would only expect from a new poster with less than 70 posts. woops, thats me!

Thanks

My buddy who is a Neb fan said that Nebraska rivals is reporting he will cancel his visit to ND. I don't know anything about Nebraska rivals so I can't confirm the posters credibility.

Yeah don't hold your breath on Compton.

Would you want to play fullback especially for a team that had a million times to offer you as a LB, but didn't offer you until January as a fullback? What's fun about playing fullback? Nothing. What's your future playing fullback? You'd probably have a better shot getting to the NFL as a kicker. Linebacker is more fun, theres more of a future and it's to a team that is recruiting you the hardest that you were formally committed to.

Plenty, but most teams are starting to use systems that don't utilize the position very much.

Not that you are wrong- you are probably right, IK, but it can be done at fullback- My example in another thread is from last year at Boise State. We had a slightly undersized MLB, Corey Hall, who started his last 3 full years, 3-time all conf., 2006 WAC Def player of the year (when they went to the Fiesta and beat Oklahoma). After all of the tryouts and combines, Hall was drafted at Fullback by Green Bay. He started most of the year, (got hurt late), and is starting in the playoffs.

Imagine if he would have played for ND with more publicity, better competition, ...

I'm just saying.....
