'09 CA RB Cierre Wood

[DANsanity15]

Always loved Cierre. He will fall into the later rounds of the draft, but whoever takes a shot on him definitely won't regret it. Thanks for everything Cierre

 

[GowerND11]

As a Notre Dame fran I want Cierre back for one more year,but as a realist I know this is his decision and what is best for him.

Good Luck Cierre!!!

 

[ohara831]

He has been a big part of our success this season. Wishing him all the best at the next level. I am sure he will do well and make us proud.

 

[Domina Nostra]

God bless and good luck to him. I hope his talents translate to the next level.

Remember dood... North/South not East/West!

I really thought the NCG was going to be big for him...never really got a shot. He is one of my favorite backs at ND...made some big runs. Good Luck C.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

He made a great decision. It sucks for us, but it was the correct move.

 

[RuntheBall]

Im hoping the Steelers can pick him up! We need a RB bad! Would be great for Cierre too- a good chance at early PT, and, at the very least, a chance to compete for solid PT. Maybe we can get Manti and Cierre.

When I think of CW, I'll think of his run at Oklahoma.

Agree completely! Steelers need you!

When I think of CW, I'll think of his run at Oklahoma.

And the way he finished the Michigan State game. Incredible.

One of the best smiles on the team and seems like he's just hilarious. Best of luck to him.

 

[Irish Houstonian]

To me his 2011 Purdue game was his best. Obviously wasn't a huge game or a great defense, but he dominated.

 

[Emcee77]

Getting a third round grade, which he hopes to improve on, according to a couple of reports on ESPN and BGI. That's definitely better than I expected.

 

[irishfanjho15]

Good luck Cierre. Run North/South my friend.

 

[johnnykillz]

I hope he's a second rounder.

He's solid.

 

[GoIrish41]

Hate to see him go. Hope he goes to a team with a decent line.

He will have his degree this spring, right? Then I have no problem with him leaving. I wish him the best. Hope he ends up a Packer.

Civil war in 3...2....1....

 

[oldirish76]

I think wood is a decent finesse back, but was not that physical. He had decent speed, but not speed like Bryant will. Best of luck to him in the NFL. Welcome Bryant.

 

[HereComeTheIrish]

Kelly's indecision drove him away...

Good luck kid. Phorkster has it right. Square those shoulders up and roll downhill. When you do that, you're one of the more dangerous backs in the country. Go get 'em...

 

[rikkitikki08]

Im sorry but their is a zero percent chance cierre goes in round 3

That's pretty darn good condisering he shared significant time with other backs each of his three seasons. It's great to add another ND name to be called off the board come draft day. Best of luck Cierre!

Look im all for Cierre getting drafted and doing well in the NFL but i really believe he has a shot to go undrafted

He does but your rubbing salt in the wounds of those that predicted 1500 yards, a Heisman, and a 6-6 season.
