Urban Meyer is a good evaluator of high school football talent. High school players should be excited when Urban recognizes and shows enthusiasm about their abilities and potential.

Pro-Urban?

 

[ThePiombino]

Pro-Urban?

Maybe. Maybe not. Either way, I think he's missing the point of our angst.

 

[NDhoosier]

you guys do realize that recruits say this stuff all the time after phone calls/visits right?

 

[yankeeND]

We're all excited about his skill set too! Doesn't that count?

Kids a beach. A flat out beaoch. Anyone who doesn't have him at the top of their list is Kray!

 

[rtrn2glory]

i have the clark kid from Fla. much higher on my list personally

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Then we need to get them both. Because at 263lbs, this kid just flat ran over everybody, and Longo hasn't even got his hands on him yet!

he isn't that quick but he does the bull rush pretty damn good

See I don't get this kind of comment. And it is not you PF, you are great, no disrespect intended. If he doesn't have speed is him tracking down and destroying all of those fast guys (qb's, wr's and rb's) usually with someone trying to block him, a tractor-beam that he had installed?

 

[rtrn2glory]

visited illinois last weekend and it sounds like he's trying to get back to ND soon.

Smith reflects on Illinois junior day

 

[Irishnuke]

Not even a 4 star on rivals.

 

[yankeeND]

There was talk about must gets yesterday in Peppers thread. I don't necessarily think Enoch is that, but he is at a position that is a must get. So I hold this kid up there pretty high.

 

[Irish_irish]

I'm not as high on Enoch as some seem to be. I think it's someone that could very well be part of this class depending on how thing end up, but with the class size and elite prospects interested this year I'm not as eager to snap him up as some.

With Hayes already committed from what I've seen most people are saying it's likely ND will take 3 more on the DL. I had a quick look through 247s top 247 players in '14 and came up with this list of players listed as DE or DT with an interest in ND atm;

Lorenzo Carter, Malik McDowell, Solomon Thomas, Trumbetti, Aniebonam, Andrew Williams, Deondre Clark, Khairi Clark and Craig Evans.

Now I'm aware that at least two of these could be considered CAT prospects rather than 3-4 DE's, but it's possible the staff may want to bulk them up a la KLM. And that's only the current list, it's very possible the staff will put out offers to more DL player in the coming weeks and there's also prospects like Mustipher could could play DL.

Enoch is ranked as the 512th best player and 28th best DE according to the 247 composite and has a weak offer list at the moment. I'm just wondering why so many people have him on their wish list when we have a chance with much more highly raked prospects?

 

[rtrn2glory]

personally khari clark is waaaaaay ahead of smith on my list
