Scout.com: West In No Hurry With Irish

First time i've heard that ND has shown interest in this young man. My alma mater had a 7 on 7 scrimmage with him over the summer and i've been able to watch him in action live a few times. Also, an aggressive basketball player that shows great leaping ability and the toughness to defend in the low post. Very explosive athlete that plays corner for his high school. Team plays in small school league and he totally shuts down his half of the field when playing. Pretty physical corner too that would fit in well in our Cover 2 scheme.Would probably benefit from playing against highler level competition, but so far hasn't hurt his offer list. Performed well at camps last summer. Talked to his high school coach who stated that urban told him last summer that he was ranked the #5 corner on their board for the class of 2014, although he has not yet earned an offer and that was a 7 good months ago. Rumblings that if Urban were to offer this would be a done deal. Pretty impressive early offer list and he has been to a few winter showcases although he plays for his high school's state ranked basketball team. Not sure how legit our chances are here, but scout had a story on him so i thought i'd make a profile. i'll do my best to keep the scoop.

Sorry bout the long spleel.

recent scout article implies that he has pretty legit interest in sparty due to one of his former teammates already being up there.

That would probably be a great school for him, they could use him as sort of a defensive Percy Harvin.

quick update:

still picking up offers most notable recently from Michigan St and Ole Miss

Had a Top 4 and planned a decision soon, but the Ole Miss offer could change his plans a bit.

actually got to see him personally a week back, kid is built like an OLB and is every bit of 6' if not taller....personally I think he's a kid we could get into it with if we offered, but we will wait too long on other guys higher on the board.

imo he ends up with Sparty with his QB he played with a few years back

Just offered. Wiltfong stated that this is an offer West really wanted. He's been very impressive at the two or three camps he's been to this offseason. Big strong kid that moves well.

He was supposed to visit awhile back but his car broke down on the way to South Bend, I wouldn't be surprised if he visited during one of the big weekends we are having.
