[STLDomer]

Offered today and will definitely check out Notre Dame per 247

I can't remember the last time we got a elite DT from Florida

 

[NDPhilly]

Want this kid as our future NG

 

[STLDomer]

Want this kid as our future NG

yeah, I like http://www.irishenvy.com/forums/2014-recruiting-profiles/67391-14-ny-ot-sde-jay-hayes-offer.html as a possible NG too (he seems thicker than Khairi even though he plays DE). We will probably take a couple guys that could play NG.

Rivals has Khairi listed at 311 lbs haha.

He looks like he played above 285 lbs. from his video, definitely a NG IMO, dont see him moving outside (doesnt have the speed like Day)

 

[yankeeND]

How many NT next year if none this year? That leaves Lou, Kona, Springman, with Tuitt and Day as swing guys. At least one true NT and one swing right?

 

[ALLGATOR]

The star junior said that Miami, Maryland, LSU, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Clemson, Wisconsin, Nebraska are sticking out right now. He expanded on the hometown Miami Hurricanes.

“I grew up loving Miami because of the way they play their game. It’s just an overall hype school. I absolutely grew up rooting for them. I can’t really say who my favorite player was because I just enjoyed watching everybody play.”

While ‘Canes fans might be hoping that Clark’s family wants him to stay close to home, he says that isn’t exactly the case.

“My mom would like for me to go away for school, but I have no idea why. She said it teaches you to be more independent.”

CanesInSight.Co - 2014 DT Clark Likes Miami

 

[yankeeND]

Far away to an Independent school is all I saw. Should be a ND lock then, right?

 

[BeauBenken]

"She said it teaches you to be more independent."

"...teaches you to be more independent."

"...more independent."

"...independent."












HE'S COMING TO NOTRE DAME!

 

[ND101]

Offered today and will definitely check out Notre Dame per 247

Louis Nix seems like a pretty elite DT

 

[OrlaNDomer]

Comparison:

Nix: From Florida, grew up rooting for Miami, plays NT, 4 star recruit over 300lbs

Clark: From Florida, grew up rooting for Miami, plays NT, 4 star recruit over 300lbs


I think he needs to play at ND.

 

[Luckylucci]

It is such a extremely close comparison that it makes you think its destiny.

 

[Me2SouthBend]

Is that weight listed 285 before dinner and 311 after?

 

[yankeeND]

I can't see this working out any other way than him being a Domer. But seriously what are we talking about?

 

[Walter White]

Comparison:

Nix: From Florida, grew up rooting for Miami, plays NT, 4 star recruit over 300lbs

Clark: From Florida, grew up rooting for Miami, plays NT, 4 star recruit over 300lbs


I think he needs to play at ND.

He's definitely Irish!

 

[Luckylucci]

Tho I love the comparisons this is going to be one helluva battle to get him.

 

[Riddickulous]

He looks exactly like Big Lou in terms of stature.

 

[Luckylucci]

Jake brown of II talked with Clark at the army combine for juniors. ND is a possible visit destination as he is in regular contact with Alford over the last few weeks. Alford brings up early playing time since we'll be losing Louis Nix to the NFL. And mentions that we think he is a program changer

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

Top of the list.

 

[fightingirish26]

This is goona be one heck of a battle. Some sanctions to the U would be appreciated in the coming months. And I really want this kid. Bad.

 

[Old Man Mike]

Miami sanctions? National Championship? NT pipeline to major honors? Alford? Diaco? A Word from Big Lou? Mom visit to ND?

WHATEVER it takes [legally], and whatever Luck it takes, having this big man come to Notre Dame would cement our continuous BCS presence for the next six years [since Coach is going to get us back there both the next two anyway].

Big fella, think seriously about Notre Dame --- college football needs Notre Dame as an example of everything that's right about college sports, and Notre Dame could sure use your help proving it.

 

[rtrn2glory]

For me:

1. Braden Smith
2. Clark (Lou 2.0)

 

[AFisch86]

3. Jabrill Peppers

This is why it was a good day to be Irish!!?

correct

Rivals100 DL Clark wants to visit Nebraska, others

 

[Bobias]

This is going to be an incredibly tough battle with Miami, but I really think that a visit will really open up his eyes to life outside of FL. Plus Louis Nix will be his recruiter on his visit. Who could possibly be better to do so when they have so much in common and how Louis is such a personable fella. This would also aleviate the need for Vanderdoes to play NG which he really doesn't want to play. This would be an all around great pick-up if we do land him.

Dare I say, he's at the top of my NG list.

Notre Dame vs. Miami for two studs, McDermott and Clark. Bring it on.

3 if you count Michel

 

[Old Man Mike]

This was the young warrior who, as soon as I saw his recruiting page, I said: if there is ANY way we can get him to sign, we are GOLDEN on defense for YEARS.

I'm afraid to hope too much, but, like Buster, he's [really] at the top of my list.
