Just like when he had "serious interest" in Michigan, amirite???

I'm so not concerned on any level about Blake right now.

Yup. I'm not even like "fuck Kiffin"… because that would mean that there is some reason to acknowledge him. Which there isn't.

You don't post something like this if you're not solid. I think he's just being respectful of the fact he got an offer from the Tide.

Not to mention that his room is ENTIRELY COVERED WALL TO WALL WITH ND. And his HS is putting in some ND offensive principles. And on and on and on....

ISD posted nothing to worry about at all and his family is very excited about Blake's future at ND.

Gotta be so annoying for him to have to reconfirm every time he gets an offer.

If he doesn't want the press over it then he doesn't have to report the offers...BUT maybe it's his way of letting the fan base know how much love he is getting all over the country so that we can be that much more excited over his future.

Isn't he supposed to be the best QB in HS as a junior. So shouldn't it be expected that bama and everyone else offers?

Like them or not Bama is the team to beat right now in college football. Their run the last 5 years is unreal.

ND fans want the 5star kids to commit then get worried everytime a 5 star program offers, its the name of the game. But if Bama doesnt offer then his offer list is questioned.

Kid is solid.

Bumped to Pro-style QB #4, Overall #121 in the new 24/7 rankings.

Composite Pro-style QB#3, Overall #85 player in the country now.

They should start classifying QB's like the NCAA football video game.

Pro-style, balanced, and dual-threat.

Blake falls right in the middle. He's not a burner, but enough mobility to make people pay. Much like Gunner Kiel in '12.

Blake is a much better runner than Gunner. Blake is probably faster than Golson was when he entered in Notre Dame. He is a more polished passer, but he is definitely a dual threat

Gunner was/is a pro style QB imo

I see where you're coming from due to the strengths of his playing style, but I consider him to be pretty balanced. His top quality is the potential of an NFL arm, but he's got enough athleticism to operate in spread (ND) or multiple (UC) offenses, which to me is enough for at least a "balanced" title.

Will be camping Saturday at the Rivals Camp Series presented by Under Armor. There will be a ton of top California Prospects there - hopefully he out performs Rosen and get start recruiting some talent to ND.

It will be interested to see how much offensive talent ND attracts this year. And what the ratings of them average.

TIFWIW (and its prolly not much)


I was supporting a college workshop last night and ended up speaking with parent, in the conversation he tells me his son goes to SantiagoHS. After we were done with matters regarding the college workshop, I asked his son if he knew Blake Barnett, and the student said "Yes, we're friends."

The student then proceeded to say without me asking a question, "you know he got on offer from Alabama?" Before I could answer, he says, "but they're too late, he has already made his decision..."

I told him, "I heard about Oregon puttting a full court press on him, as well as Michigan."

The student says, "He is 100% Notre Dame. He loves Notre Dame."

Yeah, he's so good he's going to get offers and attention from everywhere. And they all know they have to neg recruit Notre Dame. And they will push hard for "just a visit."

But he literally has his walls covered with Irish stuff and is about as solid as it gets for an early commit of his caliber. As long as we don't implode on the field and Kelly stays at the helm I don't envision a scenario where he jumps ship. Maybe that's me being naïve, but especially if USC holds onto Town and UCLA gets Rosen it's just not realistic to see him anywhere else right now. He's currently in position to be the leader of this class and help build it into something great.
