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

[AllGoldEverything]

Kids a beast.

Join the fam Torii!

He would fit in the system. Not particularly explosive like cb or neal but more of a davaris daniels role.

This would be a terrific pick up if we can land him.

He has such a higher ceiling that CB... CB is a burner, not really developed kind of wr. Torii Hunter is a game changer, the Mike Floyd kind of receiver that can take a game over.

If Hunter ends up being a better prospect than Brown then that would be amazing. But right now, he is almost definitely not. Brown reportedly has good hands, he has elite speed, he is taller than Hunter, and he has an elite vertical. Basically, he looks like a USC prospect. I doubt Hunter is at that level.

First off, I think they'll both be great. But like I said, they're two completely different players. Chris Brown IMO will never take over a game like Hunter has the ability to do. Hopefully he can prove me wrong, but to me Hunter is a much better prospect and one we need, seeing as we lack that dominant receiver right now.

This is a bit excessive, don't ya think? I'd love to land Hunter, but he's nowhere near the prospect that Floyd was coming out of high school. Sure he was MVP of the Opening, but I think it's a little ridiculous to put him in the same category as ND's all-time leading receiver.

 

[RubberSoul]

Will have!

Yeah and it's even ridiculous to put him on the level of Brown right now. Right now. Could change. But Brown possesses elite physical tools that Hunter doesn't have and they are both excellent fits for Kelly's offense. Brown can go by you and over you and he has hands. I don't think Hunter has great speed at all but he has great ball skills. And you're right, Floyd was ridiculous, no real comparison at this point there.

Will have!

reps to you, good sir!

Texas WR Torii Hunter Jr. confirms plans for official visit to #NotreDame for Sept 22nd game against Michigan.

 

[rtrn2glory]

he is one of many

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Texas now in hot pursuit

 

[IrishFrog]

UT buddy of mine whose father is on UT board of Execs said THjr is their main receiving target now since RSJ continues to give them the run around. Apparently Mack daddy and Augie call him pretty consistently and he has expressed serious interest in taking an official to WVU game. Also said he is worried about 3 of UT's main commits from state of TX partaking in Bama game this weekend in Arlington.

 

[irishff1014]

Why does that not surprise me.

 

[Emcee77]

Hunter still has no offer from Texas, and Sapp and Wiltfong think UT may be too late to the Torii Hunter Jr. party. We still have a slight lead for him, but watch out for a West Coast school stealing him, with his dad playing in Anaheim. per today's Tunnel Vision.

His dad is a free agent this year. Not saying that Angels won't resign him.

Do the White Sox or Cubs need an aging outfielder for 2013??

 

[IrishFrog]

Was told that if he takes an official he will get an offer..typical ultimatum from Mack. Would like to think UT is late to the party, but being a TCU graduate I know how that goes all too well.

 

[NDdomer2]

the cubs have enough aging outfielders in Soriano.

No different than ND telling a recruit (John Turner) that if he comes to camp and runs a certain 40 time he will get a scholarship.

I think the point is that it's getting kind of late. Turner got offered in the spring and just now, this late in the process, Mack is saying if you come visit after the start of the season we'll offer. I think it is quite different, IMHO.

The Cubbies are ALWAYS in the market for aging outfielders.

I don't think Torii is ready to end his career quite yet... so that probably means the Cubbies are out of it.

At one time he said that hey would sign with the angels for less money to stay with the team.

Hunter has always killed the Sox. They should get him just to keep him from beating them.

 

[IrishFrog]

Good news..no offer on his visit to UT

 

[beryirish]

was tweeting with jaylon a lot last night about his visit for Michigan....good talk between them.

 

[irishff1014]

Good news..no offer on his visit to UT

Kind of wish he came away with a Texas offer, but didn't commit.
