[BGIF]

Great diction. Bravo.

I doubt a Bobby Bowden expression and diction have ever been connected before.

 

[Jackalope1977]

Nice! I just bumped the Knicks thread randomly cuz Melo could go for 60 easy.

Sweet? Sweet.

Crazy he committed pre-visit. Product of Rutgers sucking and ND having that much to offer. Even more insane he was that ready to flip but turned down overtures from many other big time schools to visit.

Rutgers doesn't even have a defensive or offensive coordinator last I checked. They are a total mess right now. It was an easy decision. Good for him for not making it last minute.

OK...life is good! We Are ND!

Apparently he chose not to go to the public high school right in his hometown to instead get a better HS education at St. Joseph by the Sea, which requires him to commute an hour each way.[/U]

The more I read and hear about this kid, the more I like.

This reminds me of the desire shown by Michael Floyd in St Paul. That puts a check under "Intangibles" in my book.

 

[Domina Nostra]

Great pickup!

 

[Buster Bluth]

This makes three DL from the New York City area. Kelly and Co recruit nationwide, the proximity is crazy. And that's without Thomas Holley.

 

[IRISHbluehen]

I am completely sold on this kid after the evaluation Coach D gave him on ISD. He loves him and that is all I need to know. Big time pick-up.

 

[VAIrishFan]

Great Pickup! Welcome to the family, Pete!

 

[BGIF]

The academic part, getting a degree from Notre Dame would be huge,” said Mokwuah. “I’m a Catholic so that was a big plus. It was an aggregate decision

.


In several decades of following recruiting I heard recruits comment on coaches, championships, campus, academics, nightlife, coeds, weather, facilities, and even helmets but none of them ever used the word aggregate. It IS an aggregate decision.


He's interested in Civil Engineering, Marketing, and Liberal Arts.

Go Mendoza. Civils aren't!

Peter, a chara,

Tá sé ar fheabhas go bhfuil tú ar bord, rinne tú rogha ciallmhar! I thraidisiún na barántúla Fianna Éireann, beidh tú a bheith an chéad cheann eile i líne mór de laochra. Croith síos an toirneach! Dearbhófar do tiomáint agus an obair chrua a ghlacann tú áit, ceart i do namhaid ar ais-réimse. Ádh mór agus téigh Gaeilge!

Beir bua agus beannacht,

Bogtrotter

 

[texbender]

Good find, nice addition. Welcome aboard. Keep 'em coming. I want kids that recognize ND is the place for them.

He basically echoes many: That Pete is going to need a good amount of coaching and further physical development, but that he is / could be a diamond in the rough. Potentially dominant run stuffer while still being able to be a disrupter and pass rusher.

He needs to be a lot more consistent in what he shows flashes of doing well (pad level, get off, hand placement and use), but that could / should come with coaching.

Uncalled for. Remove this

Lighten up.

I love your signature banner.

Had to write a Sci-Fi short for a class, used Mokwuah as the name of a dwarf moon. 2nd team all american name right there, spoiled by the blandness of pete.
