'15 CA WR Equanimeous St. Brown (Notre Dame Signed NLI)

[Luckylucci]

very athletic edge receiver type...could be a michael floyd with about another 15 pounds.

He reminds of AJ Green out of HS. Same body type (long and lean), body control, and hands. Slightly less athletic. As of now I'm going to say my 3 are Newsome, St. Brown, and Humphrey Jr. Most wanted that is

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Hope he gets to know Blake.

 

[ryno 24]

This kid is unbelievably freakish, he runs by kids, punishes them on blocks and can go up and get the ball. Would be a great outside threat. I also agree with Lucci's top three and I think we have a legitimate shot at all three

 

[Big23Head]

Scout: Talking with his dad to finalize a spring or summer visit to ND. No leader.

 

[Chamellion]

This is a must get.

We kill it in lacrosse with the name team, but we're pretty bland for football.

 

[greyhammer90]

Is this going to be a skill heavy class? Seems like a ton of WR and CB offers are going out.

 

[GoIrish41]

I like that his film focused so much on blocking. With the studs we have in the backfield, a great blocker would be ideal -- especially since he has the goods as a receiver as well.

Yes. Right on it. I got to see AJ Green in person in high school (Summerville). So many similarities on the field anyway.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Is this going to be a skill heavy class? Seems like a ton of WR and CB offers are going out.

Based on our current depth chart, I'd project our needs to be 2 outside WRs and 3 RBs/ Z WRs. So no, this likely won't be a skill-heavy class; at least not on the offensive side of the ball.

Yep, this is what I've been thinking 3 WR's (1 being Slot WR) and 2 rb's.

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

I think his name means living horse.

 

[Me2SouthBend]

Been waiting for this offer for a while. St. Brown hails from Troy Niklas' old high school. Really like this kid.

Can you clarify for me? Have you been waiting for him to get an offer or has he been waiting to get an offer from the staff? I'm just unclear from the way your post is worded. Appreciate it.

 

[Ironman8]

Can you clarify for me? Have you been waiting for him to get an offer or has he been waiting to get an offer from the staff? I'm just unclear from the way your post is worded. Appreciate it.

Could be both, but I meant I was waiting for this offer to go out.

 

[Irish#1]

Goes both ways. If the two other schools were FSU and Ole Miss, you'd have a different set of concern.

True, but we would have the academics on our side and distance from home would be a wash.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

I think his name means living horse.

Doubt it, though I can see how you might guess that. His name is likely a stylized variation of "equanimous", from the Latin aequus ("equal", "even") and animus ("mind", "spirit"). It means poised, collected, composed, etc.

 

[BeauBenken]

Nicely done, Whiskey. I was about to post how I could see why someone might think that was the case, but it likely wasn't. You of course covered it better than I could have.

It's a cool name, no? In Robin Hobb's "Farseer Trilogy" (nerd alert), the nobles would name their children after virtues-- Chivalry, Verity, Constance, etc. I always thought that was a nice touch; though, full disclosure here, all of my boys have good Irish names.

I figured Bogs would have been all over that lol

Charity is currently dancing at Brad's Gold Club.

Deserves an offer strictly on his name.

Was thinking the exact same thing......Reps!!!!

CHAPTER - 9



EQUANIMITY
(SAMATA-NI SADHANA)

Every person in his lifetime almost constantly feels pleasure
and pain by experiencing happiness and sorrow, respect and
disrespect, interest and lack of interest, cold and heat and so
on. Unruffled by all these, when one tries to live in a spirit
of peace with a balanced mind, one is said to practice
equanimity.

In the present context, it is proposed to think over and analyze
the subject from a philosophical point of view. Real equanimity
can be attained to at a very high level of spiritual
development. Its genuine attainment is possible only when an
aspirant has passed through various stages of spiritual
progress (Sadhana).

IMPLEMENTING THE MEANS OF EQUANIMITY:

Genuine equanimity cannot dawn in the life of an aspirant until
the knowledge of the self (Atma-jnana) is attained. The very
basis of equanimity is pure thoughts and feelings, which in
turn, are dependent on self-knowledge. Now, if knowledge of the
self is to be acquired, a clear distinction between the self
and non-self with its practice in day-to-day life is imperative.
The three best means to accomplish this task are:

1. Company of noble persons and saints.

2. Cultivation of specific virtues.

3. Self contemplation (meditation).

Each of these means should be grasped thoroughly. As the
synergistic combination of the above three is practiced,
discriminative power evolves, resulting in self-contemplation
and self-realization. With that, the Sadhana of equanimity
develops more and more. It is thus necessary that every
aspirant cultivates universal friendship with all living beings,
becomes indifferent to sensual objects of the world, gives up
evil thought processes, and attains equanimity by vision and
contemplation of the absolute Reality.

When a saintly aspirant attains this state and progresses
further, he experiences a unique inner peace and oneness with
his soul. This is the best and the most praiseworthy attainment
of a spiritual life known as equanimity.

Knowledge and detachment are the horses of the chariot of this
great hero. Humility is the charioteer, discrimination is his
body-guard, forgiveness is his armor, patience is the shield,
austerity and self-control are the bow and arrow, and pure
intellect is his sword.

When the well-organized army of this well-equipped soldier
attacks the fort of the enemies, their armies break down and run
away in the very first attack. As all the enemies, such as
passion, arrogance, anger, greed, lust, and jealousy, start
running helter-skelter, their commander-in-chief, that is,
infatuation gets absolutely confused. In no time, he is
compelled to surrender to this great soldier, the victorious
aspirant (Sadhaka), the city of equanimity and flees away
forever.

Thus every aspirant has to put in great and firm effort in order
to win over his original abode of equanimity. This equanimity
is known by several names such as equality, quietude, Samadhi,
Yoga, tranquility of mind, the state of self-experience,
self-realization, and Nirvikalpa Samadhi.

AN EQUANIMOUS PERSONALITY:

The vision and speech of a person who has attained equanimity
undergoes a basic and complete transformation. Consequently,
divinity is reflected within him at all places, at all times and
in all activities of his life. In his heart, he experiences
that all the living beings in the world are alike to his own
self, and this feeling and experience of his is reflected in the
day-to-day activities of his life.

As he has realized his own self (Atma) to be the best and the
highest, he experiences no attraction or attachment towards
worldly objects. He might be garlanded with flowers or rocks,
respected or insulted, given a gold or a copper coin, a sandal
or cow dung may be applied to his body, and he is neither
pleased nor displeased. To him, a residence in a palace or a
crematorium, forest or a magnificent house, are just the same.

However he prefers to reside in a lonely place where his spirit
of non-attachment remains undisturbed and intact. There he
experiences constantly the proximity of his true and real self
in the form of true knowledge and divine bliss. He experiences
his supreme self repeatedly. The hard fact is that there are no
words to describe the loftiness and greatness of this superhuman
being with magnanimous and divine knowledge. However, his real
personality is far beyond speech and mind.

These are grand ascetic persons endowed with equanimity. The
land on which they place their foot-steps, verily becomes a holy
land and therefore it becomes a place of pilgrimage.

Their presence is always surrounded by an atmosphere of peace,
equanimity, friendship, and sacredness. It becomes almost a
magical atmosphere surcharged with such holiness that even the
most wicked people and violent animals give up their wickedness
and violence and adopt a spirit of unity and friendship. These
truth seeking aspirants who are inspired by the keen and pure
desire to seek knowledge and bliss of the self, resort to their
vicinity and company. There is no surprise if they win eternal
bliss. We, the ordinary people of the world, deserve only to
take the dust of their feet on our heads with a spirit of great
reverence.

GLORY OF EQUANIMITY:

1. May my soul work hard to attain to a spirit of equanimity
which is possible by abandoning attachment to the body and by
becoming completely detached from all desires, passions and
enjoyments.

2. All worldly desires get dissipated by resorting to the spirit
of equanimity; ignorance vanishes and the mind comes under
control. Therefore let one, be devoted to equanimity.

3. By resorting to the spirit of equanimity, one wins firm and
steady happiness, attains the state of eternity, and
shatters all the bonds due to Karmas.

4. The Yogi, who is steady and firm in equanimity, keenly feels
that this world is mad, misguided, deluded, and asleep.

5. The state of the soul, bereft of infatuation and agitation is
the very secret of Supreme Reality; again it is only that
who is called equanimity that can lead to liberation
(Nirvana). The noblest souls therefore worship and take
recourse in this equanimity which is of the nature of supreme
righteousness and eternity.

At your service.

Equanimity is a central concept in Stoic ethics and psychology. The Greek stoics use the word apatheia whereas the Roman stoics used the Latin word aequanimitas. The Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius' Meditations detail a philosophy of service and duty, describing how to find and preserve equanimity in the midst of conflict by following nature as a source of guidance and inspiration. His adoptive father Antoninus Pius' last word was uttered when the tribune of the night-watch came to ask him for the night's password — Pius decided upon "aequanimitas" (equanimity).

Anything new?

USC, Stanford, and ND.

He doesn't know a lot about ND yet but he and his parents will sit down and research it. He knows the education is great. He doesn't know Niklas personally but he knows Troy liked it and did very well here. He will visit, sounds like it will be in the summer.

He wants to sign somewhere with a really good QB commit. He follows Barnett on Twitter and plans on talking to him soon.

Distance won't be a factor. He has lived in France and has made summer trips to Germany. He enjoys the opportunity to see new places.

If he goes to Servites basketball games he should be seeing Troy. Troy has been leading the student section for playoffs. He has been getting crazy and taking off his shirt. Troy seems like a character. Seem good for us to have Barnett locked up early to recruit
