'14 MD OG/DT Sam Mustipher (Notre Dame Signee)

[Grahambo]

The absurdity to learn that an OL can be beat!

 

[Rhode Irish]

I just watched the clip. I don't get the big deal. Guys get beat sometimes. If football was only one-on-one blocking all the time, with no double teams, no TEs chipping guys, and no RBs providing a last layer of protection, there would be sacks on half of the dropbacks. Nice move by Brown, there. That is why he is a 5. Tip your hat to him. Sam will be fine.

 

[Rhode Irish]

Somehow posted in wrong thread. Killed that joke.

 

[BeauBenken]

I think that's how vine works. Short videos running on a loop. It's like a video snapchat.

Except you can take/send videos over snapchat.

And stuff on snapchat can only be viewed once.

...How is it like a video snapchat again?




Just Buster-ing your balls.

It's like if a stranger walks in and tells you that you're a douche, the stranger is a troll. If your friend walks in and tells you that you're a douche, you take a lesson from that.

If a stranger walks in to drop a video of an ND commit getting beat, it's trolling. If one of our own drops a video of a commit getting beat, it's further information on the recruit, nothing more.

The only douche here is Craig Haubert, I mean who is that Jabroni anyways? Him and Luginbill (1-10 record as GT starting QB) are worthless. Hell, cant even find Craig on wiki, thats bad!

Back to Sam, its one play where he got caught flat footed, he will be fine.

Besides, OL have a huge disadvantage in a drill like this.

Hell yeah they do and Sam's feet were slow here. Its one play....

 

[NDWorld247]

The fact his feet barely moved in that clip was concerning. I watched his film again and he's a very powerful, instinctive and intelligent run blocker who moves his feet well. I didn't see a play where his feet were stuck in the ground like they were in the clip. He doesn't have the quickest feet, but he'll make a great G/C prospect for ND.

Also, let's not forget he was going against the top DT in the country. My sophomore year in college we brought in the #1 DT in the country. On the first day of practice I was lined up with him in a similar drill (we had pads on) and he made me look silly the first two reps (first on the swim then on the bull rush). On the third rep, I caught him in the swim and buried him. We battled pretty evenly the rest of the season. The point being, sometimes it takes a few reps to adjust to the size, strength, speed, quickness, etc of an opposing player, especially one that is regarded as elite at his position. There's nothing to be concerned about here.

I look forward to seeing him compete in the UA game practices next January.

Bling Bling

 

[Junkhead]

pull his offer

This, I bet when the staff sees this one play, he is done here

I feel like he really just got tripped up. Had a case of heavy feet.

Not to take anything away from the D-linemen. He made a good move.

There is absolutely nothing concerning about that clip, so I stopped reading here.

It's April 23, 2013, and he won't step on the field with a >10% chance of starting until September 5, 2015. So forgive me for not being concerned about one rep, without pads on, against a five-star talent, and during which the flaw is easily fixable.

 

[Redbar]

Indicated that he thinks Quenton will commit soon. Has been reaching out to Alex Bars also.

Good! I thought Quenton would've already been committed by now

What is holding Quenton from committing? Thought he would have committed by now as well...

Quenton who? Do we have a thread on Bars?

 

[md_bennett]

I have been wondering the same but maybe he just wants the right audience/timing to make it a splash. No telling what holds something up.

On a positive note I love hearing about him recruiting his fellow lineman. Can do nothing but help with locking them both up.

not too soon at all.

Well done, fellas, well done!

If this is a joke based on the Bunting thread ... nicely done.

Sam will be competing in rivals camp series this weekend in New Jersey along with Q.Nelson. They will be the two highest rated Olineman there and Mr. Hayes will be the highest rated Dlineman. Anybody else think Hayes and Mustipher are gonna be squakin about ND because I do.

Also we should get some good footage and scouting from rivals on those 3. Will be interesting to follow.

Mr. Hayes certainly has the Irish gift of gab!

 

[Luckylucci]

Thomas Holley will be there as well.

That's who they need to target.

Scout.com: Commit Diary: Mustipher's Musings

The No. 2 ranked offensive guard in the nation as evaluated by Scout.com, Sam Mustipher, committed to the Irish this earlier month. Mustipher holds over 25 offers, and he chose the Irish over offers from schools like Alabama, Clemson, Florida, Maryland, Miami, Michigan, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and Tennessee.
Mustipher, who attends Our Lady of Good Counsel in Olney, Maryland will be doing a monthly diary entry for IrishEyes.com updating fans on his life as a student-athlete, teammate, brother, son and Notre Dame commit.
His first entry comes a week and a half after his commitment.
--- ENTRY ONE ---
It's been 8 days since I've committed to the Irish. I wake up to [the song] “Unforgettable” by Drake at 5:30 a.m. Usually there are a few Facebook messages from West coast coaches but none today. I'm enjoying the stress free life that being committed allows. I go through my regular morning routine with my eyes closed. My mom has laid out a breakfast sandwich, a light blue Gatorade and a water bottle. Being hydrated is such an important part of being an athlete. Get in the car around 5:55 to head to my bus stop. Get to the bus at 6:15 and take a nap until we arrive at school around 7:40. I head to the locker room to get dressed for a morning strength class. We have upper body today. An exciting day for any football player. I text my parents telling them to have a good day. Always need to show love for those who support you.
Following strength class, I head to AP Literature. We are preparing for an embedded exam. Next, it's just a 15 minute period where we listen to announcements and get a break from classes. From that I head to pre-calculus. Math is my strong suit so I'm not too stressed for this class. And I know after this I have a study hall. For lunch, I go to the cafeteria and get a huge salad, apple roasted chicken and rice and make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Last class is study hall and I just try to knock out as much homework as possible.
From study hall I go to our team workouts. It's a lower body explosion day so it will be power cleaning day. On the way there my coach stops me and says, "You better duck going past the office. There are some coaches in there wondering why you committed to Notre Dame." I just reply with a laugh and make my way to the locker room to get changed. I get the team lined up so our strength and conditioning coach can set up who gets put on what rack. After warm-ups, coaches from Ohio State, Pittsburgh, Ole Miss, Kentucky, Maryland, and two Rivals reporters and a Scout reporter come in to watch us workout. Just a normal day at Good Counsel.
We finish off our lift, get our cleats, and head out to the field for some field work and bag drills. We stay out for about 30 minutes and then I head home with my teammate C.J. Carroll to get cleaned up for a leadership Mass. It's when the school designates us as the new leaders. It’s basically our initiation as seniors. My parents come to the Mass. I ended up receiving a $2,500 scholarship for next year based off of my leadership and participation in extracurricular activities. They announce that I will be attending Notre Dame which gets tons off praise from all in attendance. You don't really understand what people say when they talk about tradition until you see what being a part of the Irish family is about.
Following Mass, I take pictures with my teammates. Two of my closest teammates also received scholarships for different reasons. I take pictures with people I've never met, but I like making people happy so I enjoy it. My parents tell me congratulations and head back home because I'm staying with C.J. I have an XBSS meeting early the next morning, (ten students from the rising senior class who exhibit the Xaverian values) so CJ and I stop at Grill Marx to eat with his parents. We leave the restaurant around 11 p.m. and CJ's dad gives us the keys to the Range and lets me drive it back to the house. I later on convince him to let us take it to prom. We go home and knock out some quick homework and play a game of 2k13. He's a Knicks fan and I'm a Heat fan so we always go at it. I turn on SportsCenter to catch the Heat game highlights. Up 2-0 on the Bucks. I end up passing out on the couch and he goes upstairs to his room. That sums up my day. Just an average kid with above average dreams.
Go Irish!
Sam Mustipher

wow!!! ND is getting a solid kid

 

[Luckylucci]

Reminds me a lot of Rochell from last years class. Aggressive and nasty on the field but a very down to earth smart kid off. Also religion is a big part of his life.
