Irish Offer California DE

Trent Adams
5/15/12

A De La Salle teammate of OLB Michael Hutchings who also has an ND offer.

...

"I think he likes some of the schools here on the West Coast, but he's open to everyone," he explained. "I know that Oregon, Washington and California have definitely made a big impression on Austin. I'm sure he'll take his time and make sure that he's confident in his decision."

Is Notre Dame a school Hooper would consider visiting?

"I think it's a school he'll probably end up visiting," he shared. "I think he'll work on building a relationship with the coaching staff and see where things lead first. I wouldn't be surprised if he got up there sometime this summer or next fall. He's already expressed an interest in taking a visit out there."

May visit with teammate Egu (LB) later this month according to the guy on II.

Also teammates with Hutchings.

Hooper has some real interest.

On 247 he's down to #26 SDE, but retained the 87 rating.

On Rivlals, he's down to #28 WDE.

On Scout, he's down to #31 DE.

There are 0 articles about him on 247 since late march ( we offerred in mid-may) so maybe just hasn't been doing camps

I know I was pointing out Buster showed all the services that have slightly dropped him while ESPN seems to like him.

I'm pretty sure Chase Thomas was a :s::s::s: anyways

- Chase was around 210 at of highschool and is now 245 playing OLB, Austin looks like DE though that could bulk up. Both are listed at 6'4 but Austin looks taller

Gotta update his profile, Philly.

Now that Ogundeko and Sherit seem like longshots, is Hooper our best option at ROLB? (Assuming A. Muhammad is a combo ROLB/ DE)

sherit really that big of a long shot...seems like his recruitment will drag on for a while and thought we were in decent shape

He's apparently at UF with VHIII today. Expected to commit together.

Regarding Austin:

Very athletic and good at block destruction. Looks like a great fit at ROLB for us. Only question is how well he defends in space.

^yeah they have been talking back and forth (twitter) and the wind seems to be blowing in the direction of them committing soon to the gators...I can see them making a big splash for Florida to have these huge commits pop altogether

Not nearly as fast. I do think he has a lot of potential at DE though if he can add 20+ to his frame (which it really looks like he can) because he seems awful quick/strong at the point of attack for being as lean as he is.

I will take a kid that the coaches connect with and know they can develop over a flashy arrogant 5star that poisons locker rooms and peeks in high school.(lynch)

Playing alongside guys like deeb and anzalone this could be a special group. USC is putting together a pretty good fantasy football roster, but let's see if they all check their egos at the door and play together like our group. Go Irish!

Looks good at te too...

I'm in the minority here, but i'm not that impressed with him. IMO I don't think he can play CAT, he would have to bulk up and play DE. Give me Sickels over him please.

After looking at his film a second time he is very slowly growing on me.
