'13 TX WR Torii Hunter Jr (Notre Dame Signed LOI)

[Bogtrotter07]

I find this exciting, because there are more and more signs occuring to me that my believe in Archetypal Psychology is right on track.

Archetypal psychology is a polytheistic psychology, in that it attempts to recognize the myriad fantasies and myths that shape and are shaped by our psychological lives. The ego is but one psychological fantasy within an assemblage of fantasies. To illustrate the multiple personifications of psyche Hillman made reference to gods, goddesses, demingods and other imaginal figures which he referred to as sounding boards "for echoing life today or as bass chords giving resonance to the little melodies of daily life" although he insisted that these figures should not be used as a 'master matrix' against which we should measure today and thereby decry modern loss of richness. Archetypal psychology is part of the Jungian psychology tradition and related to Jung's original Analytical psychology but is also a radical departure from it in some respects.

Whereas Jung’s psychology focused on the Self, its dynamics and its constellations (ego, anima, animus, shadow), Hillman’s Archetypal psychology relativizes and deliteralizes the ego and focuses on psyche, or soul, and the archai, the deepest patterns of psychic functioning, "the fundamental fantasies that animate all life"

This sort of notion, holds that a persons character is their character, because of these more important and spiritual forces, in otherwords, a revealing of character, and personality, as opposted to a changing or shaping . . . See?

I double majored in Criminal Justice and Psychology... but we barely touched on this type of psychology, it was funky to say the least. I think we touched on it a little bit during the dream section... Dream theories are pretty freakin crazy, but awesome at the same time.

If someone knows how to embed this video please do.

ND and Alabama were the only schools he mentions and he WILL be playing football and baseball in college.

 

[peoriairish]

Not possible to embed from ESPN.

Thanks for the video though. Good to finally have confirmation that he wants to play baseball and football collegiately.

I think this plays out great for us, Jeff Samardzija granted was a pitcher, but was more than capable of playing in both sports, and from my little bit of understanding, I would think the Big East in terms of college baseball is better then the SEC? Not really sure though, any college baseball finatics possibly chime in. Granted Alabama football has been the better of the two in recent years with football, but I like our chances here with us being more of a passing team then Bama is, and the current struggles with finding a replacement for Floyd, the field is wide open for youngsters to come in and take the reins in the WR position here at ND.

I don't even watch baseball and I'm just about 100% positive the SEC is the best conference for baseball.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Ya the SEC is one of the top conferences for baseball.

Also, Golden Tate played both sports.

 

[anarin]

SEC is a good baseball conference.

Alabama is horrible though.

 

[NDdomer2]

Out of the last 8 teams in this years college world series 3 were from SEC (SCar, Ark, Florida) the other 5 were Arizona, FSU, UCLA, Stony Brook, and Kent State. The last 4 champions have been from the SEC as well. Clearly the South is where it's at for baseball.

 

[NOLAIrish]

The SEC and the Pac-12 are the two primary baseball conferences at the moment, followed by the waning ACC. Alabama's baseball team is not bad, as some have suggested (in fact, it's the winningest program in SEC baseball history and has put a ton of players into the pros). It's just not nearly as good as the traditional powerhouses (LSU, S.Car., UF). The next tier down (Bama, Vandy, UGA, Arkansas) are all still among the 20-25 most successful programs in college baseball history.

So, I wouldn't scoff at Bama as a potential destination for a two-sport athlete. I'd be more concerned, though, if interest grew with Florida, Texas, or even Vandy (who've gotten really, really strong under Tim Corbin), if he's really serious about the baseball side of his recruitment.

 

[ALLGATOR]

TCU and Arkansas are good at both. Kid would probably be a razorback if Bobby had not taken his lady friend for the ride of her life.

Zona won this past year actually, but the 3 years prior you are correct.

To the earlier point, Big East teams are noticeably absent from the list of top: CWS winners, appearances in CWS finals, appearances in the CWS, and # of CWS games won. PAC/B12/SEC pretty much dominate the list

 

[Irish#1]

The primary reason the schools from the south are typically better is the weather. They can play and practice outdoors later and earlier than the northern schools. They get more reps and games in over the course of a year.

 

[IrishLax]

Per ISD, sounds like Torii could jump on board at any time. Apparently we have a large lead for his services.

 

[DSully1995]

MVP of the opening? not too shabby

 

[Emcee77]

Awesome. Pull the trigger Torii!

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

Great news. As long as we still have room for Devin Allen.

Thanks TT! I was just going to ask if anyone knew where to find film of him.

I am impressed....I want!!!

[Bogtrotter07]

Pretty, darned good game. Doesn't seem to ever quit the play. And looks like he plays against competition, so he can motor.

THX Terry!

 

[rocket66]

Heh. Is this why TP randomly tweeted "Golden Tate" yesterday? He's so sneaky..

 

[elboricua]

this would be awesome. But they need some speed badly in this class. The skill position players look good but mainly have great size and hands. They don't have great speed. Who do they have a legit chance with now if they get Hunter? It looks like Devon Allen, Tyler Boyd, and maybe Cunninham right? Then you have at the slot/rb position, Muhammad and Folston and that's it right? I would take Allen and Boyd if they could. Onwualu I think might actually be able to play the slot/rb position and provide some power to that position.

 

[GBdomer]

Wow really?

 

[elboricua]

Wow really?

wow Really to what I'm saying? Or wow really as in " wow ND is really going to get Hunter?"

Awesome! I had no idea we were at the top of his board. Go Irish!

 

[peoriairish]

Heh. Is this why TP randomly tweeted "Golden Tate" yesterday? He's so sneaky..

No. Golden had a 92 yard punt return for a TD yesterday. That's why he did that. Most of the time he has normal tweets, non-recruit related.

On that note, I would love to have this kid on board. I feel like he has a really high ceiling and a great motor. Always seems to play hard.

Thanks TT. Pumped to hear he is leaning so hard.

Also, that qb is impressive.
