Appears to be one of the 6 QBs ND is showing interest in at this point and eithier ND will come watch him throw in May or he will camp at ND in June per Wiltfong

Top 5 of Notre Dame, Ohio State, Alabama, LSU, and Tennessee

 

[Luckylucci]

Pretty sporadic with his accuracy in that video but he sure is whipping that ball around.

 

[yankeeND]

Well being from Toledo, I would be pretty happy to see this happen.

 

[rtrn2glory]

always wondered why we didn't get in it for this guy...works in a spread offense and could be a good fit, but lower on our board

 

[Irishnuke]

Bama and LSU offered? Good enough for me.

Him being 1 of 6 QBs in the country ND is pursing at the moment would put him high on NDs board, no?

 

[clashmore_mike]

Wasn't very impressive the game I watched him play but won a state title. Good athlete that plays basketball too.

No offer

 

[Bogtrotter07]

I believe he is a late bloomer; this being said he won a division II state title and played in a league where the division I runnerup also played. A ridiculous number of playoff teams played in that league.

not necessarily if he's one of six he could be anywhere in that group....big difference between who they see as one and who they see as six imo

 

[rtrn2glory]

]Wasn't very impressive the game I watched him play but won a state title.[/B] Good athlete that plays basketball too.

agreed....but it looked as if the coach was calling the game not to lose it offensively, especially since their defense was playing so well

My bad, should have clarified. I saw the game against Whitmer that was 42-0 a couple minutes into the second half, which is when I left.

 

[rtrn2glory]

oh....yea i'm sure that wasn't too impressive of a performance either...whitmer was good

 

[Bogtrotter07]

oh....yea i'm sure that wasn't too impressive of a performance either...whitmer was good

Whitmer beat Leurs 20-3 and that could have been 48-0 if Jaylon Smith hadn't been playing.

Scout.com: Kizer hoping for Notre Dame offer

scout article...maybe redbar can help us

would imagine some other chips need to fall before he gets an offer from us.

claims we are in his top 5 even without offering.

 

[NDFAN22]

I mean you cant really argue with his size if its a true 6-5 205. Obviously made some bad throws but I wouldnt mind taking him and developing him over time.

I will be this is an "Allen thing." We are waiting for the two Arizona guys, Andrews and Allen to shake down and based upon things not working out with Allen for ND I think we would offer and take Kizer. He would be a perfect guy behind Ziare.

hopefully weather cooperates, but that's not a bad idea. nice facility so you should get a good look.

 

[STLDomer]

Looks like an offer from either school isn't coming for now

 

[NDPhilly]

If we miss on Allen and Dawkins I'd offer him.

 

[STLDomer]

Still curious how Randall Cunningham II will do this year for Gorman, his offers could really flood in after a couple games

 

[Buster Bluth]

True story. One of my friends whom I went to grade school with went to Central Catholic, and after drinking wayyyyy too much had the nerve to call up their head coach and leave a message on his cell about how he ****ed his wife a number of times.

He was promptly expelled. You don't mess with Central Catholic football.

just another example of Ohio State's poor academic standards.

clash...

did you make it over to central???

clash...

ha no I was just joking about that. I sent word to a friend who has a step son at Central and told him to hang around the football locker room to see if he'd meet anyone. Chuck Martin was there in the morning and someone from OSU was expected later, not sure who. Martin liked what he saw and was to take the info back to the rest of the staff to share. No offer yet but told Kizer he'd be in touch. Kizer is expected to announce relatively soon, so OSU and ND will need to make a decision to offer if they are that interested. This is all per ISD.

Any idea who the presumed leader would be, since he is wanting to decide soon?

 

[rtrn2glory]

thanks clash...

I think I read an article preview that said maybe LSU was leading, but that could be wrong, maybe a scout article?
