'07 TN WR Golden Tate (Signed LOI to Notre Dame) - Page 2 - Notre Dame Football Discussion

ND was originally recruiting him at RB, but then after the *cough*Benn*cough* disaster combined with Golden's interest in the WR drills Weis told him that his first shot will be at WR/KR, but if he feels Golden could help the team more at a different position then he will move him there, and Golden said that would be just fine with him.

Yes, eveything I have heard says he'll be used as WR or DB... maybe both, you never know... right now? I'd expect him to play DB with little time put in at WR... but a lot can change... either way he's a hell of a weapon...

any time we will have Allen and him on the field and the same time the Defense will be shaking... no doubt

Weis referred to Golden as a WR in his signing day press conference FWIT. I found this on another board from someone who played against him.

"I played against him in high school and he's easily the best player I've ever seen. He had like 400 yards with 5 td's (7 td's but 2 called back because of penalties)against us. We weren't terrible, we won the state championship but he still absolutely dominated us."

------Against a State Champion team is pretty impressive. People may sleep on him because of his size, but Steve Smith from USC was and still is 5-11(I know because I am a Giants fan.) Seeing his highlights is pretty impressive. I know he has a hand injury, but it was nothing very serious and look foward to him trying to contribute early either returning kicks are catching balls. ESPN is the only one who noticed his talent(Yeah I know it's ESPN.)

Curiosity; is Tom Lemming still affiliated with ESPN's recruiting coverage? We all know he's an ND homer, so I wondered why ESPN would "notice" his talent, and not the others.

No Lemming doesn't work there anymore he does the CSTV thing now.

Golden was selected in the 42nd round by the Arizona Diamonbacks earlier this week.

Some guy on another forum said that he sent Golden a message on facebook congradulating him on being drafted and Golden said thanks, but I didn't even know I was drafted haha. The mans ready for football season!
