'08 MO FB/LB Will Compton (Nebraska Verbal) - Page 6 - Notre Dame Football Discussion

GoshenGipper · 10-19-2007, 01:19 AM

Well, it looks like we may have been wrong reports are surfacing now that ND has been in contact with Compton recently too. This still somewhat suprises me. Compton waited around for ND to offer him after he camped here during the summer, but then later picked Nebraska when ND failed to offer. My only guess would be that if they decided to offer him now they still want another LB in the fold, but they were holding out for Sabino, or Lewis-Moore at the time.

Will is scheduled to be at the Mizzou/Texas Tech game this weekend with Gabbert.

Do we really need more LBs? Maybe one of the LBs will be putting his hand on the ground? Either way, we are recruiting speed, which is a good sign.

If we get him along with all the other quality Line backers. People may start to call us Linebacker U. That wouldn't be a bad thing. Look at how deep teams like OSU and LSU are on defense. It's like a revolving door of talent at those schools.

I would like to see ND offer this guy, I believe he could become an asset to our team in the future. He is very quick and we need more speed on defense. If you could get this guy this defenseive recruiting class could be one big, fast, nasty defense. I like it. It has been way to long since we have had a defense teams have been afraid of.

He's quick, and you can never have too many athletes to shuffle in and out. I would imagine that Corwin wants versatility for different defensive packages. I would like to see even classes, but Neal and Smith are playing as freshman, so if you redshirt a couple of these lb's, you have three years with talented lb's with different graduation dates (plus 09 lb's who will play as freshman).

I really can't see Will getting an offer at this point. Unless CB pulls a huge shock the only defensive player left on ND's board is Datone Jones.

cool, thanks for the info. I guess I was going off of week old posts. Any chance Marcus Forston comes back around (did he ever visit campus?), or are there no more DT's no matter what.
