The release still looks a bit long to me, but man it rockets out of his hand.

I hope Blake's putting ND in the ear of Kalil!

 

[GBdomer]

Khalil is not interested in ND

 

[BeauBenken]

That Beau kid could sure be a good player in the near future.

That will be very cool.

Up to #55 in new Rivals 100, only current ND commit on there, but lots of promising targets are there.

 

[Luckylucci]

As of now I think thats a good spot for him. We have the Rivals 5 star challenge and the Opening as big events for him to compete at this summer. With a good summer and what I expect to be a huge senior season, I think he finishes in the top 25-30.

 

[#1rish]

Chances he'll get a 5th star?

A lock.

 

[Luckylucci]

Thats a good question because last year the 247 composite had 33 guys with 5 stars so IMO it puts him right there. However, only 1 QB (Kyle Allen) received a 5th star. This years class is much more loaded at QB so a lot will depend on how he looks relative to other, probably. I'd say that the chances would be fair at this point. With that said he has a lot of opportunities to drastically improve this.

 

[KyfightingIrish36]

Saw Tom Mendoza tweeted him. I was wondering if that's a violation since he gives donations to the school.

Nothing but glowing praises have been thrown his way for the last year.

Ricky Town still hasn't earned an invite to a The Opening has he? I know he tried at at least two camps and didn't get it.

Not that I know of. Not surprised to see Town lose his 5th star from rivals. Down to 25th overall which I still think is too high.

According to this, no.

if ricky town and that malzone kid are the best SUCK and SCUM can recruit at QB in 2015 then you know things have changed for the worse for both programs

 

[Luckylucci]

Wow, this kid gets it and as a fan of ND I just love it. When talking about all the attention that he gets. He told II, “I like the part of attention that is beneficial to Notre Dame. Hopefully in seeing other players do well some of these recruits will have an idea or a want to come to Notre Dame as well. That should be a benefit.”

Well I'd say the rolled up t-shirt is a net negative, so he'd better cut that out if he really wants what is best for ND

 

[Big23Head]

Biggins said last weekend was the best he has seen him throw, noting that he has seen Blake a lot and his growth has been very quick. Noted that Bama and Oregon continue to recruit him but his is solid and will EE.

I could do without that as well. But I'll take Barnett and 1/2 shirt vs. Town completely clothed.

 

[Cackalacky]

Whoa whoa whoa...I don't want to have to put you guys in the "Koon Zone" now..... Cut that out.

 

[koonja]

Come on, it's California and the kid has a body he can be proud of. He can go skins for all I care as long as he keeps promoting ND and slinging the rock like he has been.

Of course this is basically meaningless coming from me.

I like that.

I don't like that
