'14 GA DE Lorenzo Carter (Georgia Signed LOI)

[BeauBenken]

Wow - Bumped to a #3 Overall prospect in America by 24/7 today.

Quote from 24/7 on his jump:

Hot damn, I am good.

Dear Lord, this kid is absolutely FEROCIOUS. I see a 5 star here.

Was only a matter of time before he got his 5th star I think the Georgia offer will come soon. His recruitment will be very interesting

In your opinion is he an SEC Georgia-Florida lean or is he open to cold weather schools like ND and Ohio State

Bama people think he is a lock but they always think that. He was born in Indiana I think this kid will listen to ND. He is/was a Florida fan so Urban will get his chance.

Awesome thanks for the info

 

[ALLGATOR]

Does anybody know what coach ND will have recruit him? I am fairly positive Kirby Smart will recruit him for Bama and Muschamp will personally recruit him for Florida ( a long with about 3 others on the staff).

Probably a combination of Booker, Alford and Kelly.

Isn't Kirby in line for a head coaching position somewhere? I can't remember excatly but sure seems like it.

Every year he is and every year he goes back to Bama an they raise his salary.

Got to think that Elston will be involve in there too.

Live in Atlanta and Carter is wide open at this point. No leaders.

This probably a stupid statement/question (blatantly obvious) but at 221 lbs I assume he would a CAT for ND not a DE?

 

[Luckylucci]

I would imagine it would be similar to what the staff is planning with AQM and that is start off at CAT and as the prospect gains weight move him inside. Seems thats been the strategy with a few guys.

 

[BleedBlueGold]

I have no knowledge on his projected position, but to generalize your question, you probably shouldn't assume positions based on weight when he's only a junior in high school. Frame, speed, athletic ability, etc all come in to play. Just because he's 221 right now, doesn't mean he wont be 285 after a couple years of college training under his belt. It all depends on what the coaching staff wants to do with him and how much weight his frame will handle. Regardless, he'll weigh more in college than he does right now.

 

[dwshade]

He's an excellent basketball player and has that type of frame. More like Ishaq so I see him staying as a cat LB.

 

[rtrn2glory]

a year ago i would have said he's the type of guy we don't get and stays in the SEC...now....go get em fellas!!!!!!!!!

 

[MoreTeo]

Carter is in my mind one of the top 5 prospects for ND next year if not the country. His athleticism and especially his first step are explosive. He is like a younger version of Aldon Smith. Carter's wingspan is ridiculous which will aid him in being a terror of the edge for years to come. Give ND DE's Lorenzo Carter, Andrew Williams, DE/OLB Qualen Cunningham, and DE/DT Nifae Lealao and call it a wet irish dream!

I would imagine that he's ND's #1 target for the CAT LB position and not doubt one of the top targets overall.

yup.

 

[Ironman8]

Georgia finally offered.

 

[Ironman8]

Auburn offered.

 

[BeauBenken]

This guy + Andrew Williams + Jay Hayes. Holy Bejeebus.

That's my dream.

 

[Ricochet]

This guy + Andrew Williams + Jay Hayes. Holy Bejeebus.

That's my dream.

Your dream what? Top 3 defensive targets?

 

[NDhoosier]

This guy + Andrew Williams + Jay Hayes. Holy Bejeebus.

That's my dream.

Andrew Trumbetti
Malik McDowell
Enoch Smith
Khairi Clark
Andrew Williams
Jay Hayes
Lorenzo Carter

^ 4-5 names from this list and this class will be epic!

 

[BeauBenken]

Just saying if we got those three guys. I'd be the happiest guy. They're some FREAKS.

Okay, let me add Malik McDowell to that list as well.

Dream team right there.

 

[woolybug25]

Andrew Trumbetti

Enoch Smith
Khairi Clark

Lorenzo Carter

I think that we actually will, which rocks.

Continued classes filled with big boy defensive front 7 talent is the recipe for a championship. We are close.

 

[drake29]

I would take Enoch Smith off the wish list and put that 350lb Wisconsin commit in. Enoch doesn't have the height/explosion to be a DE and he may never be big enough to play Nose.

not really up-to-date with the 2014 class yet. You really think we could get 4-5 names from that list? Seriously, that would be great!

 

[Luckylucci]

We already have one and IMO, end with 3. Something to always remember from a numbers standpoint is that 2014 will be a smaller class. So 5 seems like a big stretch, maybe 4 if it's the right 4 but I see 3
