'14 NJ OT Quenton Nelson (Notre Dame Signee)

[KyfightingIrish36]

Yeah I bet he's one of the new 5 stars.

 

[greyhammer90]

Looks good man.

 

[irishff1014]

Could you imagine getting not 1 but 2 5 star OL. Coach HH said whats up!!!

 

[GoldenToTheGrave]

Not to bad mouth any of the other OL commits but I think Nelson has by far the best tape of any of the commits so far. The only two OL that I've seen so far this year with better tape IMO were KC Mcdermott and Braden Smith's. Not an OL expert by any means, but he looks like he moves very well in space, blocks very well 2nd level, and is strong as an ox.

Damien Prince, Quenton Nelson, Joe Mixon, and Raekwon McMillan are the new 5 stars on Rivals

 

[Luckylucci]

Congrats Mr. Nelson, hard work pays off!

Side note I still think that our class the way it currently sits is still underrated as Trumbetti according to rivals is a 3 star (5.7) and I think thats ridiculous. He'll eventually get bumped to a 4 star (5.8- 5.9). Also I think that Martini is better than the 5.5 rating he currently has, could be somewhere in the 5.7-5.8.

 

[Ironman8]

Up to #16 Overall in the nation, 3rd ranked OL.

Wow.

 

[irishff1014]

This was a huge pick up.

 

[dublinirish]

ND recruit in post commitment ratings bump shocker!

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

So awesome. Congrats Nelson!

 

[ohara831]

Congrats to the young man on getting that 5th Star! Way to go!

Last year, Jaylon Smith's evaluation ascent up the ranking lists was a direct result of his participation in the seven on seven circuit and the dog and pony show events such as the Opening and the Rivals Challenge.

That's gotta get him some five star consideration.

Yup. Congrats Q!

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Awesome job!

 

[irishroo]

Kinda glad we didn't land McDermott at this point. I'd take both Nelson and Bars over him

 

[Redbar]

That is a serious bump, great job.

 

[BeauBenken]

Extraordinarily excited about our current OL class, but don't get it twisted, KC was at the very top of the staff's list.

I would be willing to bet that they would still take KC if he wanted in.

 

[Luckylucci]

I'll second that Beau, if the staff could add KC to the current Oline haul they would sign up for that today.

 

[NDdomer2]

I would be willing to bet that they would still take KC if he wanted in.

To go further, I would imagine we still try and keep in touch with the young man considering his brother is on the staff.

I agree and hope they do stay in touch with him which in all likelihood is happening.

Hope it's nothing serious.

One of the few to receive an invitation to the Challenge and the Opening.

too bad for him...would be chicken sheet if rivals takes away his 5th star b/c of this, but it wouldn't shock me.
