'10 NC DE Prince Shembo (In hot water)

[PraetorianND]

Dude so scary hahaha

 

[Rack Em]

**** ADT, I want a cardboard Prince Shembo inside my door.

 

[RDU Irish]

Hilarious. I want that to carry around Miami January 7th.

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

Would not want to live across the street from that person and see Shembo staring at me every time I look out my window.

Seriously. Reminds me of this.

[dudesthisisthebest]

I'm not sure this has been talked about in any of the other scholly numbers threads, but does anyone else think he might enter the draft? I know we like to hope that guys at least stick around to get their degree, but he'll be a mid round pick at least(maybe higher depending on measurables) and going to the NC doesn't really leave the 'unfinished business' reasoning. Just speculating.


Edit: guess I should have read a few pages back, but its still something to think about now going to the NC game.

 

[irishmarine]

I think he is extremely talented but could become a higher pick if he comes back and polishes his game next year.

 

[Irish8248]

Am I missing something? Debate on another forum, poster said Prince played some ILB last year... I said he's clearly an edge rusher...

 

[clashmore_mike]

I don't think he played one snap of ILB last year.

 

[Who'saWildManNow]

nope

 

[Irish8248]

Thank you... I can't think Of one moment either

 

[Irishman77]

It was discussed to move him inside after his fr year. Never happened...

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Now that we have that settled!

The Darkhorse at #1? Carlo.

I believe that if Notre Dame fans meditate on this for just a moment they will have several illuminating thoughts:

1). Matt Millen was a GREAT linebacker; he knows linebackers. What he is saying is that The Prince is an All-American. This FACT should convince the last conservatives that Notre Dame's defense this year is a monster beyond hoping for. We are going to slobberknock almost everybody. It is not at all beyond my imagination that we will be playing as many as five AAs on defense, and at least three more players who would start nearly anywhere and be leaders.

2). So one of the best linebacker analysts judges The Prince to be AA --- what does that say about IWilliams' situation? I say that it not only has but will limit his playing time and Ishaq has known it. Given such a situation, it takes a very tough-minded person to go out there and do the hard things to reach your potential. I don't see Ishaq as being tough enough in the face of Prince's hold on the position to have progressed as he should have.

I hope that Ishaq has grown up now that he's past the midway of his college days.

 

[Luckylucci]

Well said OMM. I expect big things from Shembo this year. I think Ishaq is growing and in time will be something special but it's Shembo's time. Ishaq's next year!

Agreed.

And I guess my argument that we would have eight elite between defensive linemen and outside linebackers just got a boost. I really feel looking at it that our second team may be in the top ten in the country, separate from our first team.

 

[Old Man Mike]

I don't know how good our second team DLine is at this stage, especially with the defection of Vanderdoes, though I feel that Schwenke, Springmann, Utupo, Hounshell {if healthy}, Okwara {if playing there}, Rabasa, Rochell, Matuska, and even sleepin' Jarron Jones would make a pretty good DLine as an aggregate on the majority of FCS teams.

But I might just be crazy enough to agree with you on our second team linebackers. IWilliams, Calabreese, and Councell are good enough that they can barely be kept off the field by the starters. That leaves just one spot. Can you say "Jaylon Smith"? Or Michael Deeb? Or Doug Randolph?

I think that if almost any team could get a package from Diaco labeled " Jaylon Smith+ Ben Councell+ Carlo Calabreese+ Ishaq Williams", they'd faint.

This coming year We Good, Boys.

 

[PANDFAN]

maybe I'm in the minority but i don't understand how people feel so great and confident in our 2nd team could be starting on other teams...just my opinion but i don't think anyone has proven anything other than carlo is what he is...serviceable

Jaylon Smith(unreal HIGH SCHOOL athlete no college experience)+ Ben Councell(played sparingly no major impact)+ Carlo Calabreese(improved, yes but can't start as a 5th year...i know him and fox rotate)+ Ishaq Williams(again played sparingly no major impact)

 

[Old Man Mike]

We believe that because the staff has said tons of positives about all of them.

i agree with that...but they are not going to speak to the media trashing them...i mean even Moore who can't seem to get it...BK said several positives before stating that "we just need him to hit the right people"....doing it in practice and proving it during games are two different things...look forward to them progressing as a unit on the field

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Been to a practice? See Counsel's closing speed. See how good some of these guys are in coverage. See how well they use their hands, and how hard they hit.

 

[BeauBenken]

That's a heck of a group of guys to be ranked ahead of too.

Shembo really is one heck of a linebacker and an athlete. Watching him practices he looks like he just moves effortlessly.

The coolest thing about Shembo is how he can turn big offensive linemen on their ears.

Agreed. While I think there is a TON of potential with that second group, it's a bit premature to say some of the things that have been said.

 

[Junkhead]

This coming year We Good, Boys.

At least on Defense.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

This coming year We Good, Boys.

Is it too early to start panicking over 2014? We lose 5 starters and 2 key backups from our front seven.
