Something in the article about him punting 41.2 yards in average. Thought that was interesting.

Saw that as well. Add that dimension to out punting effort...AKA Danny White.

miami ohio did that with roethlisberger back when he was in college. his last year at miami the varsity punter didn't even letter due to him only punting like 9 times the entire season.

Looks like he had a monster senior campaign. Will he be an EE?

He said he wants to play basketball and baseball his senior year, so that eliminates him being an EE.

I guess he only has one senior year in HS...so he should get the most out of it.

dublinirish · Nov 29, 2013

its not like he is gonna come in and need to start or something, better for him to enjoy his last HS semester

rtrn2glory · Nov 29, 2013

i thought back in the summer/early fall he was planning on EE

Got the OK from his school to enroll early, which he says is very rare for his school. Missed the first session of summer school due to camps but is going to try and enroll in the second session which would be required for him to graduate early. He should know by the start of the fall semester whether he is on track or not.

Also identifies Corey Holmes as the #1 WR target at the Opening. Sounds like that came from the coaching staff.

post from early july saying he got the ok to EE. not sure if that means he will or not.

Andy in Sactown · Nov 29, 2013

Regarding that clip: He said he got the okay from "his school", which "is rare". Then he went on to talk about all the things he had to line up to be able to make that happen.

Anyone have anything a bit more recent on his EE aspirations?

The article just posted said he will play basketball and baseball again this year. But that is the first time I heard of that. I am not saying the Toledo Blade is a greasy rag newspaper that doesn't check its facts, but . . .

“Last Friday showed me that you really have to take pride in every win, because on any given day, in playoff time, that can all be taken away from you really fast,” Kizer said. “The guys I’ve been with for four years, and the underclassmen I’ve played with — you really learn to appreciate those guys and not take anything for granted.”

Voted Division 3 co-offensive player of the year

If DeShone has participated for three years of high school basketball and baseball, and he is an integral part of their success, then he owes it to his teammates to finish what he started. To hell with early enrollment. Participation in a variety of sports has made him the athlete that he is.

EEing is very important for the QB position. He's only hurting himself by not taking the opportunity.

you wouldn't want your son to enjoy his sr year in high school?

His call, but I would urge him to consider the big picture and what's ultimately more important.

There is a good chance he doesn't start for at least 2 years if he ever does. I doubt EEing would have a huge effect in the long run since he's not competing for the job in the near future. Although most of ND's recent QB's have ee'd I doubt the majority of starters in CFB now did.

If this was Golson's last year then not EEing may have hurt his chances but having Golson for 2 more years really levels the playing field for all the backups

EEing was the reason Rees utlimately got the nod when Crist went down in '10. I highly doubt anyone expected him to start for two years, if ever.

i personally like his decision to stay his entire sr year...he has classmates counting on him for a successful run in basketball and baseball...he really is a HUGE part of their success or lack of especially in basketball. shows the class of the kid and how much he cares about his friends and teammates

He was competing with Montana though and Hendrix who was in the same class as him. Little different than competing with a scholarship guy who has been there for a full year, and potentially Hendrix. There's a chance next year that even if he did ee he would be behind two other qb's who have been there for over a year.

Being a kid is of the upmost importance, spending another few months with family is important, sports will only exist for so many years. He is guaranteed an opportunity to learn and maybe start for Notre Dame but if he wants to enjoy a few more months at home, let him enjoy it. Go Irish!

Rhode Irish · Dec 3, 2013

I refuse to have an opinion about this. On one hand, as a fan, I'd love the kids to get in early and learn because I think it helps the team and helps them be better players. On the other hand, I can't begrudge a kid at all that wants to finish high school like a normal kid. He should 100% do that if it is important to him. I think that while there is some impact on the team and the player's development, ultimately it isn't such a drastic impact that it can't be overcome.

Irish#1 · Dec 3, 2013

It's his call regardless of our opinions.

Personally haven't watched it yet so it might not be new highlights but it can't hurt.

Apparently Sparty is trying to flip Kizer since they lost their QB commit.

Loy says Kizer is solid though. Sparty had their shot at him, long before ND offered, but they didn't push hard enough and it's likely too late now.

rtrn2glory · Dec 24, 2013

this will be an interesting one to keep an eye on.

hopefully the depth chart doesn't scare him away to a chance to play very early and barely an hour from home

We only have two scholarship QB's. One thats never played and one that only has two years of eligibility. If I'm a HS QB that sounds pretty enticing.

-If he has a chance to play early, why would the depth chart scare him? Sounds a little contradictory, no?

NDhoosier · Dec 24, 2013

I think he is solid as well, but Barnett could also scare him away.
