'13 IN ATH Jaylon Smith (Notre Dame Man & Graduate)

Its just depends on the school and how they have their school year laid out. Devin Butler's school doesnt allow EE either. The kids are making a choice to go to Bishop Luers/Gonzaga Prep, not the other way around.

I agree completely. These going are getting there education and if the school believes they need to be in school, than they should probably be in school.

Yep im sure the school uses the final semester to help students adjust to their 3rd level of education, not to hinder them.

The building has fresh air intakes from the outside that are used to circulate the air into the building, so i'm not sure how the air could be thinner given it is not at a different elevation, and I highly doubt LOS has equipment that is removing oxygen from the air that is brought in by the intakes. Maybe its a psychological effect due to the vast openess of the stadium? I really think Jaylon was just tired from playing both ways, especially running the ball as hard as he did.

Im sure that that is what they are trying to do, but it isn't that way. It was hard to breath during the practice that each team gets in the stadium and was hard to breath during warms ups. Our team practiced indoors at a big turf soccer complex the whole week leading up so that we could get used to the indoor environment, and it was still tough going once we got there. And yes he was tired from going both ways, but he has been doing it all year so it shouldn't have been to big of an issue. Trust me, its a hell of a lot harder to breath in there if you are trying to play a game.

Watching Jarvis Jones play a full game for the first time. Early impression: That's what ND hopes Jaylon Smith can turn into. Similar frame.

Is Jaylon Smith that great of a pass rusher? I mean, everyone has basically said DOG would be his ideal fit, but could he play CAT?

 

[irishmarine]

With his size and skill set I'm sure he oukd play almost any position

While Bishop Luers may only be a 2A school, it's a powerhouse in Indiana, which has produced NFL talent in Anthony Spencer, and has a plethora of kids playing at IU, Kenny Mullens, I believe is a starting CB there.

 

[Irish#1]

Congrats Jaylon.
