'14 TX DB Nick Watkins (Notre Dame Signee)

[ulukinatme]

Disagree on that. DB is one of Bama's biggest concerns and outside of Marlon, they are in need of a couple of more in this class. Plus, the reason UT is partially in the shape they're in is because they have failed miserably at recruit evaluations the past 3-4 years. They have passed on too many good players and taken too many suspect players.

Yeah, Texas passed on Manziel because they wanted him at Safety and not QB Could have had another Vince Young at QB, Mack blew it.

Don't act like Mack was the only one that missed on Manziel.

It's the name of the game. We probably missed on Luck and plenty more like him.

Missing out on Kuechly still pisses me off. Him and Manti could have possibly been the most dominant ILB duo in CFB history.

True statement. Imagine if Weis took Luck instead of Crist and had landed Keuchly... BK might've already won multiple championships......

But who would Luck have passed to, besides Floyd and Rudolph-- and possibily Golden Tate?

Is it bad that that idea just impacted me emotionally?

Luck would have never played, he would have been injured on the sideline behind those offensive lines

Actually, that's probably true.

Please don't ruin my day by telling me a certain ex coach could have took Andrew luck and didn't....

"Luck of the Irish".. Could you imagine how many times we would have heard that...

KVR, Luke, Watkins, Kinlaw.. Lets see if we can finally get some dominant corner play again.

There is nothing to worry about. I have no idea what Tom was originally even referring to.

Watkins Meets BVG

Seems like BVG has been a hit so far.

 

[PANDFAN]

Notre Dame assistant Kerry Cooks saw plenty of Nick Watkins over the past few days. The Irish coach, who is responsible for recruiting the state of Texas for Notre Dame, visited with Watkins on Friday.

“We were just catching up,” Watkins said of himself and Cooks. “We weren’t really talking football, just catching up.”

Cooks returned to Dallas to meet with Watkins again at the beginning of this week and brought along the Irish’s new defensive coordinator, Brian VanGorder.

“It was pretty good,” the 2014 Irish cornerback commit said of meeting VanGorder. “He was just letting me know what kind of defense we’d see from him and about what kind of guy he is.”

The 6-foot, 180-pound Watkins was excited to hear the style VanGorder plans on implementing and fans likely will be too.

“It’s going to be NFL-style, that’s pretty much what we’re going to be running,” said Watkins.

“It’s pretty exciting to get that extra knowledge from the NFL in college. I don’t even know what to say, but it’s exciting.”

Watkins was impressed with VanGorder as a person as well.

“He’s pretty cool,” laughed Watkins. “He smiles a lot. With that mustache, he looks like somebody, I don’t know who.

“He’s a pretty cool guy though. I look forward to learning from him and playing in his defense for the next four years.”

The Texas prospect believes the new Irish assistant will be successful as a recruiter in the future.

“I think he’ll definitely get guys,” Watkins said. “He has a great personality. He knows how to bond with a player.”

Watkins also shot down rumors this week about him possibly giving Texas another look late in the process.

“They just came by the school trying to make that last push, trying to get me to visit and stuff,” he said of the Longhorns. “I said I was sewn up and I’m not going anywhere.”

The Bishop Dunne High School star is looking forward to signing with the Irish two weeks from today.

“Definitely.”

Deez nuts, Texas.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

It's funny because I specifically remember Bobby Burton saying Nick was too slow to play corner at Texas. New staff comes in and all of a sudden he is fast enough...

 

[BeauBenken]

Nick is going to be an awesome corner. I love what he brings to the table.

So I echo what Lax said. "Deez nuts, Texas."

I only started following him on 247 for the Texas HC updates and have since went back and followed some of his other updates. He is almost as bad as the OSU douches on that site. He is a definite homer and whoever his sources are suck as well.

Yeah, his very arrogant and did you see his reporting all through the UT coaching search, pretty ridiculous. I loved the quotes about Texas doesn't accept applications, they pick who they want and get them. What a joke
