'14 IN WR Justin Brent (Notre Dame Early Enrollee)

[IrishFaninTX]

Did Justin not get invited to any All-American bowl games? I think he is one of the best in the country so that surprises me if that is the case. Or maybe he turned them down like Elmer did.

He turned down an invitation for the Under Armour All-American game.


And Elmer played in the Army game, and was won the Anthony Munoz Lineman of the Year Award.

It was James Onwualu that turned down the US Army game.

Oh ok. I thought it was Elmer who turned it down. Glad to know Justin got some love from the bowl committees.

alot of recruits hold out for the Army game and then dont end up going to any all star game if they don't get the Army invite. Dalton Schultz is an example this year. not sure what the deal with justin is

He will need extensive time in Longo's system before he could see the field.

What's with the block in the middle?

What's with the block in the middle?

used to do something similar called towel bench in HS. saves some strain on the shoulder, and makes the pecs fire a little more when you stop the bar's progress on the way down, instead of just bouncing it off your chest.

 

[clashmore_mike]

It should be noted I didn't do 405.

Yep, once your arms break 90 degrees in becomes more of a shoulder lift.

That is sick! There is going to be considerable competition at the WR position in the coming years!

 

[koonja]

I've been saying it for a long time, but this guy will be a beast after the catch. He's going to run through a lot of college DBs.

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

He will be hard to tackle.. similar to Floyd perhaps.

 

[Irishbounty28]

Anquan Boldin

Noted.

Jesus...Hope this kid does't pull a David Boston and put too much bulk on to play WR. Impressive numbers but I've always been more concerned with his speed/agility/acceleration bein a WR.

I think he'd be a killer safety.

 

[Irish YJ]

Monster... that said, hate the spacer cushion..... we never had that when I was being tortured in the blockhouse by Tom Zupancics in the mid 80s.

 

[Junkhead]

How many WRs can bench 405? Can't be that many.

Winner.

This post is to take his post count off the devil's number.

with a couple of tips.... (you know he couldn't just let it go without adding something)

Many people I have talked to wonder how ND beat MSU. Smart people think they may be playing ball good enough to beat anyone. I don't disagree.

But I believe that ND's wide receivers this year were that good. The problem, without aiming a dis at Tommy, is that the staff was planning an entirely different offense for a different kind of quarterback. This next year when we can get a mobile quarterback that can zip a ball as far as anyone in the country, we will see what the WR corps is made of. I am telling you Onwualu, Brent, and some of these guys are going to hurt average DB's blocking them! And Hunter, Fuller, Brown, Robinson, Daniels are going to shred backfields.

Yeah, I was post #668, but on the home page, it said there were 666 replies. Looked ugly.

That is really a strong group. A lot of people don't think Onwualu will see a lot of playing time as WR, I think he definitely can see the field a lot. He is physical, strong, and pretty tall. He made a really great physical catch the one time he was thrown at(can't remember which game). He will be a monster blocker. Just a lot of weapons across the board. This offense has the potential to be really explosive.
