'13 FL RB Tarean Folston (Notre Dame Signed LOI)

[Emcee77]

Mayock said it during the telecast and I agree: Folston's just a natural running back. He just has an innate ability to avoid tacklers, even in the hole, by making the slightest movements, so slight that they don't cost him any speed. He's like the anti-GAIII (although GAIII made a nice move on his long TD run).

I'm waiting to see how good he is in the pass game because I'm real close to calling him the next Ray Rice. Just heavier

9 games into his career and hes gonna be the next Ray Rice?

 

[Cackalacky]

Once again solidifies the notion that they probably know more than I/we.

Just a bit.

I haven't predicted anything yet

I think Gio Bernard was the best comparison I have seen so far.

 

[rocket66]

I'm always right after the fact too, LOL.

Ha. It's a nice feel-good comment so we aren't too upset when GB leaves.

 

[IrishLion]

I think Gio Bernard was the best comparison I have seen so far.

We would be extremely forunate if Folston can continue to be a similar runner and experience the success Gio Bernard had at the college level.

In fact, with the o-line ND is building, that would be frightening for defenses to deal with.

And only about 75% of my appreciation for Gio is because I'm a Bengals fan. The other 25% is because he was one of my favorites even after he decommitted.

I loved him at Aquinas, I was sad when he decommitted (but I understood), I was a huge fan and had him on my CFB fantasy teams at UNC, and big fans of the Bengals grabbing him (and Eifert).

Do I have your permission to use that for an avatar after I crop out the navy guy?

lol go ahead.

lol go ahead.

I felt very weird changing it away from Tuck. But I'm making the 40 year decision.

I know you like to see a guys number so here's this one too:

There's CFB fantasy?

That's pretty cool but I'll stick with the first one. Love the intensity in that shot and you can see the 5 so it's not hard to figure out who it is.

 

[gkIrish]

Sandlin literally just posted a picture of something close to what I was originally looking for so there's that. Sorry for clogging up this thread.

 

[irishff1014]

It seems like in the one video that was posted that him and Cam really get along.

 

[Irish Insanity]

Yes

I must be sheltered. I knew none of this. I didn't know his dad played, or that he had a brother that was good either.

 

[NDdomer2]

and 3 star lb brother wants to play for nd?

 

[irishfan]

Offers from Pitt and Minny. Could take a flier on him at MLB?

 

[IrishLion]

Rivals lists him at 6'3" 200. Pack 25-30 lbs on him and give him a shot lol.

WTF do we have to lose? I mean when's the last time ND took the field with 85 schollies anyway?

 

[dublinirish]

yes but its awful. back in the day everyone would try and load up on Hawaii (Colt Brennan era) and Texas Tech Wide Receivers. Haven't played it in a number of years, its not as fun as NFL FF.

Yeah, I noticed them during the telecast of the SS Game. Folston seemed to be in Cam's ear the whole night pumping him up.

Hawaii wouldn't even be on option. We use the BCS conferences and ND only.

 

[Ndaccountant]

We do the same and also eliminate the AAC.

So cool to see a RB, especially a freshman, go over and and dap up every single offensive lineman after a drive. That kind of stuff fires me up.
