ND and OU showing the most interest and USC has been coming on strong. Really wants an Oregon offer.

I just don't see him as an Oregon back. Not that he couldn't for any reasons, I just see him in a different kind of offense.

I want this kid for ND bad, but I'd much rather have Michel. Ideally I'd love to take them both as our only 2 RBs this cycle. I want Hood as an ATH not an RB. Hood's skill set makes me want him on D.

There's a big debate on the TBB about how Michele's knees are so beat up and if that's true I'd rather have Starks

As I said in the Master List, Starks is a freakin beast. My #2 realistic want at RB

Apparently hasn't been in contact with USC lately, doesn't have an offer either. Their loss if they don't pursue him for some reason

- not afraid of contact
- great cuts

He's being recruited as a RB and really likes that. Most other schools are revisiting him as an athlete. A phone convo with Alford is what changed his mind on ND and got him to visit. He loves what an ND degree means and what it can bring you after graduation. Also loves the tradition. We are solidly in his top 3 with no leaders.

This kid would give ND a lot of flexibility. He is faster than most rb's (it appears). Took kids a whale of an effort to catch him with angles.

Top 5 of ND, USC, OU, Texas, and Bama (no order). USC offer is coming and Bama said they will be as well.

Mom favors...... ND of course.

Bama took 3 RBs last cycle and they already have Scarbrough in hand. Why do they need more RBs?

IMO I think we could steal this guy. We have a better shot with Starks than Michel and I hope some people start to realize that.

I doubt many people on this board would give a rat's rear end if we got one but not the other.

If we get Hood, do we take Starks? If so, at RB?

Not part of the staff but I don't seem why not.

This is allegedly a smaller class. I would hope we'd take both. Jesus what a backfield of Mahone, Bryant, Folston, Hood, and Starks would be.

Both Hood and Sparks are ATH. Always room for elite versatility.

ND isn't going to turn away 2 5* backs. Starks will be a 5*. But both being around 6 feet unless we are going to a power I which I would love to see. They will both be running backs. Having Folston, Starks, Hood, Bryant, Amir and Folston would be to much fun.

And we took two elite RBs, probably Elijah in this class and Mahone still have four years of eligibility, not to mention that Atkinson and Mcdaniel will still in South Bend in 2014. All of them highly touted recruits.

If finally Hood commits to ND, i don't see another top RB going to ND if he wants to play early. And Nathan Starks does not look like a guy who can wait two or three years to see the field.
