'13 TX RB Jamel James (Texas State Verbal)

[DCIrish]

Per II two commits in the class don't think James will end up signing with ND.

It's looking like an unfortunate likelihood. We absolutely need one of Folston and Bryant. Both would be amazing.

IIRC, this guy has been correct with inside info in the past (though this hardly qualifies as a surprise).

 

[Kaneyoufeelit]

I feel bad for him but I might feel worse for Clement

 

[RDU Irish]

Hope he finds success (academic as well as football) if ND doesn't work out. One of those names I hope to see ripping up stat sheets a couple years down the road, seems to have some serious upside and I was hoping he would find it with us.

Just a guess, but the staff was probably aware of Jamel's grade issue when we turned down Clement.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Posted this in the Mattingly thread, but just so everyone sees, the staff has no plans to visit Jamel during the contact period. He will not be a part of this class barring some major change.

 

[NDPhilly]

Bryant and Folson please.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Bryant and Folson please.

By a mile.

 

[yankeeND]

Really want both Bryant and Folston because the bring a different skill set to the table. I definitely think we get one but will getting one make the other shy away? I know a lot of times RB's want to be the only guy in their class. Just curious.

Um

Wood and Riddick were the same class
Cam Mcdaniel and GA3 were the same class
Mahone and Russell were the same class

First, it has not been completely confirmed that he is not committed to Notre Dame. So, I don't know why the mods have removed him from the front page!?

Second, I really like him as a RB and think he is a Bettis type back. If he isn't able to qualify for Notre Dame I think he should commit back to Arkansas. He would be the perfect superstar back for Bielema's offense.

I didn't remove him, but I have no problem with the person that did or the decision. The staff has no plans to even visit Jamel the rest of the way. If that does convince you that he will not be part of the class than idk what to say sir. He had obligations to fulfill and simply did not. I am sure the staff will allow him to "decommit" and spin it whatever way he would like, but this will not end with Jamel in South Bend.

It's a shame because we both really like him as a back (there is not much talent difference between him and Bryant in my eyes). It's a shame it had to end this way, but if we grab Bryant and Folston, I will be a very happy guy.

I thought you were my boy and would back em up on this...You mods are all the same!

First, no comment. I honestly didn't even notice.

Second, I like what he brings to the table as well, but if he can't get in, he can't get in. I was also thinking the same thing about him going back to Arkansas where he would be a great fit for Bielema.

Note: Made my first Mod blunder and accidentally started to "Edit" your post when I meant to "Quote" it. hah

Look at his film.

 

[Emcee77]

Sapp/Wiltfong say the only reason he is still listed as a commit on BGI is to allow him to control the timing of his announcement. It's all but certain that Jamel will not be a part of this class and we are going to replace him with Folston.

Just in case anyone else was confused about why they still list him as a commit.

Does that mean Folston is a "silent?"

 

[PraetorianND]

No, simply that everyone expects Folston to choose ND at the UA game and be the second back to Bryant in this class.

Gotcha thanks.

Should be no surprise, but 2013 RB Jamel James no longer part of #NotreDame's 2013 class

 

[KPENN]

247 sports has confirmed it with his head coach.

He's looking at Washington, Ole Miss and Arizona State.
