[2008 Prospects] Inside Linebacker

[Irish Envy]

Yes, it's early. Maybe even too early, BUT if the information is out there, we should discuss it. We all know that our coaching staff is turning over every stone, so maybe we should do our due dilligence as well. Anyhow, I'll be adding these by position every couple of days. I'll start with what I think will be a big position to fill after we get a great DL class this year.

Are we talking about kids who are currently sophmores in high school? That means they're 15 and 16 years old! How early to college recruits look at kids? I know Lebron James was being looked at in 8th grade!

Once you hit high school, your recruiting file begins on the national level. Obviously, you probably get regional buzz before that. The players I have outlined are those that have already been identified on the national level.

I've had my list saved for a few months now, both for ND and locally.

Doesn't Aaron Nagel have a brother that is supposedly a future blue chipper?

Yep, Brett. Zach Watts on the list also has a brother that is a blue chipper, too.

I feel a little dirty after reading that list. On the other hand I think CW told JC that he wouldn't take a QB in '08. Also I think I read that Brett Nagel will look at ND, but just b/c his brother is going to go there doesn't mean he will.

Why do you feel dirty?

I sometimes feel like this recruiting stuff is a little like stalking
