Visiting for Wake Forest game per 247. Mostly just received letters from ND so far but wants to be done with the process by March. South Carolina is the leader as they have made him one of their biggest priorities for next year. If ND or Ohio State offer they could challenge.

He has a good arm. But they run him a little to much IMO. And i haven't looked up his stats but from the video its like a 50\50 play call for him. I would like to see him throw some more.

 

[dublinirish]

from what i read Mister is high on ND and not playing QB isnt too big a deal for him.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

that gonna hurt our chances of landing him?? or are we gonna slow play his recruitment a bit with our limited numbers??

thanks golden

No he knows he likely won't play QB here. The staff has been really high on him from the beginning but now because of the 9-0 start we are going to have a lot more kids interested in coming here. I would say it is too hard to tell at this point.

 

[Irish In KY]

I live about 10 minutes from this kid. Nice guy. Tough. Good Arm. Plays against so-so competition, however.

 

[dublinirish]

the next Colin Klein perhaps?

What position would he play here?

Most likely positions are slot or safety.

Dog ala Danny Spond

He looked huge against some of those other players.

 

[Irish In KY]

He looked huge against some of those other players.

He is a good-sized human. Some of the teams he was playing against in the highlight video(s) were really, really untalented teams. Some we're pretty legit, however. I'm friends with his sister and, apparently, he absolutely loved his visit to South Carolina.

2014 KY QB Drew Barker impressed with #NotreDame & #ND is impressed with him, putting him in the 'top tier.' (Premium)

 

[ALLGATOR]

For some reason I am not really impressed who are the other QB's ND is looking at?

Pretty sure he's not being looked at for QB.

 

[ALLGATOR]

Well if thats the case I doubt he gets a ND offer.

If they offer this kid it will be at QB. It will not be at any other position I am positive of this. Brian Kelly is not an idiot.

You familiar with Danny Spond?

 

[Cackalacky]

You familiar with Danny Spond?

Troy Niklas?
Kevarae Russell?

 

[Luckylucci]

Not sure where this is coming from that we aren't recruiting him at QB but I have read the complete opposite. This kid is perfect for a spread system like ours and was told from the staff on his visit that he is in the top tier of QB's they are going to be recruiting.

 

[IrishLion]

This kid's in my area, and I know a few of the Northern Kentucky coaches. I'll try to find out what I can as things progress here.

ND is the number 1 team in the nation, why would you sign a player like Barker to play LB when you can sign a much better athlete that actually plays LB in high school?

Are you saying Danny Spond isn't a good drop OLB?

KVR is probably a Freshman All American and will be a future NFL draft pick at the rate he is going..we dont mind what BK and his staff does in recruiting because we believe in them!

 

[Luckylucci]

Drew Barker isn't playing LB at ND!

If Barker gets an offer it will be to play QB

 

[Luckylucci]

^^^ Absolutely.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

If Barker gets an offer it will be to play QB

Ok
