Don't know if this has been posted already, but this is what GB's father said to Rivals concerning his sons commitment.

"One hundred percent (graduation rate) for minority athletes, 97 percent for team graduation," father Greg Bryant Sr. said of the reasons behind his son's commitment. "I like those odds. Everyone else 50 percent or below. It's bigger than the game of football."

I love when ND gets a high profile recruit, but I love it even more when it's for all the right reasons. Welcome to family Greg!

TJ Yeldon comparison?

Also, he did well against Jaylon. That's saying something. We have an amazing class.

"Smoke" Mizzell could challenge Jaylon as well. Every single video I have seen of him is incredible.

He's perfect for going with Atkinson and Carlisle. That power and those moves are freakish for a high schooler. I'm really excited to see him play. We are an AQM and Redfield commit away from a near perfect class.

Bryant was the #1 RB at the Rivals 5 star challenge this summer.

Let Longo get his hands on him and ND wil get the power back it has been missing this year. I am stunned by how fast his recruitment went. Hope it sticks.

I don't care about stars...Bryant is THE RB for Notre Dame. He will contribute right away to a backfield that will be sick with skill: Bryant, GA III, Carlisle, McDaniel, Mahone and (maybe) James. That is some kind of depth and nice injury insurance.

His film is impressive...powerful, fast, elusive, decisive and he has tremendous hands. The experts can give him however many stars they want, Bryant is the man!

I know this is the first year of the composite but my guess is it will prove to be most accurate over time.

.97 4* #7 rb

Welcome aboard! Sounds like both he and his dad get it! It's an awesome feeling that these elite recruits are more concerned with their future in the academic realm.
My two cents. Greg Bryant is an absolute stud and i'm glad to have him a board. He has the potential to be the work horse a 1,500 yd back. My thoughts on Cam... Cam is special, he is a do all type of football player. He is not someone that will just fade away. I can see it playing out that you need more then just talent to climb above him on the depth chart. He can be very effective as a 3rd down, but do not be fooled he also can do it on 1st and 2nd down. I have no worries because we will continue to stay a Running Back by committee Offense.

I think Cam will move over and focus more on corner now. Like you said NYMike, he won't fade away. He played a few snaps at corner this year if I am not mistaken. He will be an asset to this football team in some way.

Rivals has him so high because he was a beast at the RIVALS 5 star challenge.

You guys care way too much about star rating. The kid is a stud in the making. Doesn't matter if a site has him at two stars or eight.

This, dominated in literally everything. Only flaw is top end speed according to their analysts.

Which IMO, is the most overrated quality in RBs. You can be great without it and it only adds to an RBs abilities if they have it on top of everything else.

IMO Bryant will come in and contribute right away. He is exactly what the staff wants in a RB.
