Love this pickup.

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.

 

[ALLGATOR]

congrats

Yeah, he was the only RB at one of the camps that could challenge Jaylon.

 

[Ironman8]

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

Revoke Jaylon's schollie. Not good enough for ND.

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.

What is scout thinking? #14 RB, #90 overall 4*

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.

 

[Irish To The Core]

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!

Good Grief! That's an amazing bit of skill.

Absolutely. It is clips like those that I've seen of Greg that get me incredibly excited about what he can do in an ND uniform. He will be on the field from day 1 IMO.

What is scout thinking?

Pretty much sums up Scout's football recruiting section. Just awful.

 

[Irish#1]

Time to break out an extra large bottle of awesome sauce with a side of hell yes.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Pretty much sums up Scout's football recruiting section. Just awful.

Take a look at his 247 rankings. They have him rated the lowest of all the scouting services.

 

[NDdomer2]

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

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

247 is out there at times. Instead of the 247 composite I would like one that weighs Rivals and 247 higher and ESPN and Scout as lesser.

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.

 

[NDPhilly]

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

 

[Meacon Irish]

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.

 

[jason_h537]

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.

Similar to espn rating Hunter jr. higher than most sites, mvp of the opening can't be a three star.

 

[NDPhilly]

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

Great pickup.......reminds me of Frank Gore

Almost 3000 comments on an article on ESPN about a recruit picking the Irish. Love it.
