How did we get a verbal from a guy we never had a profile on? I thought we were perfect!?

[AdmiralBackhand]

He seems big and fast like Jonas Gray.

 

[Ironman8]

As I posted in the Master List thread, Corey Robinson broke the news of the commitment via twitter, and ISD is reporting a commitment from a RB in the 2013 class. Can't be unimpressed with the offer list, nor grabbing a RB from Texas.

RT Corey Robinson (@CoreyRobinson13): S/O to my boy Jamel James (@kingJames_cr6) for committing to ND!! Welcome to the #Mob #NDnation #GoIrish #NotreDame

 

[DSully1995]

What the hell we didnt even get a chance to say he was a Texas or USC lock b4 he committed.

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

He was once committed to Arkansas, then the Petrino thing came out and he opened his recruitment back up.

15th ranked RB by 247. 4*. Nice get, didn't see this one coming.

Beir bua agus beannacht,

The Bogtrotter

[Emcee77]

Wow. That came out of nowhere. Welcome Jamel!

In this day and age, with how many Irish recruiting sites there are, and how many paid recruitniks there are having coaches sometimes as their sources, and with every Tom, Dick, and Grubl having a twitter account trying to break news, it is truly insane that a guy commits to ND with ZERO fanfare or even a heads-up. I've been on this site for over 5 years, and I can't recall a player committing before we even have a profile up.

Crazy, but welcome aboard kid!!!

[Junkhead]

Don't even see him listed anywhere as having and ND offer yet! If true, great! Love to see Texas guys commit to ND.

 

[johnnykillz]

Katy Texas has an unreal football talent area.

Cinco Ranch is a great program.

Welcome aboard Jamel!

Love these highlights. He's fast and he's a tough runner who gets yards after contact.

[Emcee77]

Wiltfong is saying its not a done deal yet but could be soon. James reached out to Cooks about committing, although he has never visited. No idea what the hold-up is. Wiltfong doesn't say.

Jamel James' twitter disagrees with Wiltfong.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Well that was unexpected. Awesomesauce!

Here is a nice little nugget.

Highlights.

Running style very similar to The Bus....lets hope he becomes 1/2 the player big Jerome was.

 

[STLDomer]

Names will pop up......

 

[Ironman8]

Kind of concerning that he apparently wanted to commit to FSU before, and they wouldn't take it, and then committed to ND without ever visiting. I'll take it, but I just hope it sticks.

 

[STLDomer]

He wanted to commit to FSU earlier but could not for some reason, maybe because Ryan Green

His decision schedule was by August 1st.

WVU thought the we're in good position

Another drink spitter! Crack me up! Now NDinLA here is my excited, oversimplification of the day: For all you EE fans, here is a kid that brings nearly the same kind of speed, with a much bigger can of whip@ss!

 

[TerryTate]

Kid is a machine. Love it.

 

[ohara831]

This came out of nowhere. But very happy to see it. Welcome young man!

 

[Ironman8]

From ISD's new story, he says he is 100 percent committed and will take all his visits to ND. Sounds good.
