I don't know. Some recruits see us play poorly, and think they will play sooner than if we play well. Not saying I want that to happen, just sayin.

but i was saying just for them to see how it is when we win a big game. plus the statue unveiling and everything else. i see your point as if we play poorly they think they could start earlier but i hope they see the win as a beginning to a national title team. maybe not this year but next

Sounds like an 3-4 OLB pass rush machine.
In the Willie McGinest mode.
We need players that are versatile.
I love 3-4 OLBer's that can also put their hand down and rush the qb in dime situations.

dont we all

Entry Not allowed

Seems the weekend went well.

I believe he and his mom attended the game. The visit pulled ND even with his other top schools, and he is planning an official visit for later in the year where he can learn more about the academics, and tour the campus and facilities more in depth.

Looks like we are really in the mix for this guy. Really like his potential alot, 6'5'' 220 and runs a 4.6.....really think we need to go after this kid hard. We need to start establishing more speed rushers along the dline, like Kapron Lewis-Moore in the last recruiting cycle. Hopefully we can really wow him on his official in November.

Custis says the three things that he's looking for in a school are 1) academics, 2) football and 3) social life. "I want football to be on the side," he said. "If I didn't have football in my life I'd want to make sure the school would still be a place I'd go too.

"I really want to go where they have a great business program," he said. "But I still want to have fun too, so the social life is going to be important too."

Although he hasn't scheduled an exact date yet, Custis says he plans to visit Notre Dame in November. "Notre Dame is a great school," he said. "Besides the prestige and academics they also have great football tradition."

But the thing about the Irish that stands out the most in Custis's mind is their family atmosphere. "It really feels like a family there," he said. "It's more about family there than the other schools. They are all really close and have a good bond with each other."
