'14 NC RB Elijah Hood (UNC Verbal)

[irishff1014]

Wow ... Hood told Biggers of BGI that an Alabama coach came by his school, and Hood had his high school coach tell the 'Bama coach that HE ISN'T INTERESTED. 'Bama doesn't offer the education he wants. Why waste their time.

RKG. Do want.

Thats what i am talking about right there. Kelly and Alford need to stay all over this young man. This is great to hear he wants a good education.

 

[Riddickulous]

Wow. This is the kind of kid we need at ND.

 

[NDFANnSouthWest]

my 2014 favorite thus far

Brings a tear to my eye.

This is a very serious young man, parents ought to be very proud. I sure would be.

 

[NDPhilly]

Want him just for that reason alone besides him being a baller.

 

[IrishLion]

A new legend in the making. What a way to start the story haha

I just hope we don't get into a recruiting battle with Harvard..... Yikes, he might tell Diaco to go home.

 

[BeauBenken]

So we should just mark him as committed now, no?

 

[IrishLax]

DO WANT! Cannot have enough kids with that attitude who are also high 4 prospects!

 

[NDGirlzRock]

I'm telling you all right now, whether he goes to our beloved ND or not, this kid is going to be special. Like "Manti You Cannot Fathom" good. But in the running back version!!! I want this kid above ALL others in the 2014 cycle!!!

 

[Me2SouthBend]

Stud. Next level Stud. Tremendous.

Got a new mancrush! I predict Elijah will end up being N.D. 'S all time touchdown leader when he graduates.

 

[scUM Hater]

Let us all remember his nice quote by not bashing this kid if he doesn't commit to ND.

Notre Dame assistant coach Tony Alford stopped by to see Charlotte (NC) Catholic 4-star recruit Elijah Hood this morning. GT came yesterday

 

[NDBoiler]

Love The Bus, but I'm sticking with my analogy. Earl Campbell. Similar running style.

I think his running style and posture when he runs reminds me of Marcus Lattimore, but with more power. So I'd say Campbell is a good description. Reps, Keith.

 

[rtrn2glory]

i'd hesitate to compare anyone to earl campbell...dude was incredible

I know what you mean, I am thinking more along the lines of potential, not that he is already at that level.

 

[Who'saWildManNow]

I really enjoyed watching this kid play.. The combination of size, speed & motor is impressive. Add his desire for a quality education and we've got the prototypical RKG for ND.

Also, if I'm not mistaken I believe Will Ferrel was at one of his games and can be heard yelling in the background at the 2:35 mark.

 

[GoIrish41]

This kid is a monster.

 

[NDPhilly]

Per II. Top 5 of ND, UNC, Ohio State, Clemson and Georgia Tech. They think that ND leads with UNC as the biggest competition.

 

[yankeeND]

If we get Folston in this class, do you guys think Hood(if we get him) will be the only RB in the 14' class?

 

[NDPhilly]

Probably would have to be a guy with the ability to play slot to IMO. Hood is only a RB I believe.

So you saying the staff wouldn't take Sony?

 

[NDPhilly]

So you saying the staff wouldn't take Sony?

I think Sony would have the ability to play slot ala Riddick. Plus the staff wouldn't turn down a 5 star.

Sony will IMO stay in Florida though.
