'15 IN LB Josh Barajas (Notre Dame Signed NLI)

NDBoiler · May 30, 2014

Love it when these types of commitments come out without a Loy-esque "considering looking around" type of statement from the recruitniks. To me it means the kid kept his decision pretty private and wasn't all about the show. Good for you Josh!

Yeah, I edited my post while you were responding to say I mostly agree to make clear I wasn't trying to correct you or anything. The only part I didn't agree with is that I think that there was already some serious movement to the 4-3 when most of the LBs signed. Hill was kind of the exception because we were a little on edge at that point and were just looking to get someone on board.

Appologies if I was unclear.

His initial commitment had me worried that Franklin was a sith lord. I am less worried about him now.

rtrn2glory · May 30, 2014

love the pickup and the pleasant surprise. sounds like dad and coach are REALLY on our side so that should ensure this commitment sticks.

2 more of Baker and Hilliard from Ohio and Bilal or Porter.

2 of those 4 would be good

Hilliard and one of Baker/Bilal would be Great imo

Veritate Duce Progredi · May 30, 2014

Great pick-up, now let's finish with two of Osa Masina, Hilliard & Bilal and then start stocking the trenches and secondary.

ok...for now. but dont make it a habit! while i do appreciate the ecumenical nature of including all shapes and sizes, lets get back on track soon with the typical pandafan avatars. any way to get the one from last week back when you tire of current one?

Speaking of that ass hat Franklin...Anyone see this article

SEC's hilarious attempt to stop Penn St. Nittany Lions James Franklin - ESPN

That may be the best article Adam has ever written. Honest. The more that ESPN actually allows to be published about the SEC over recruiting the better.... Bastards

Franklin just didn't squirt that water bottle in practice good enough.

Maybe he should have squirted Mr. Barajas in the face, too?

IrishLion10 said:
I like to picture my coach as doing the robot rather than the worm, and criticizing the powder-to-water ratio in the gatorade rather than yelling at players for costly redzone interceptions.

Franklin is seriously reconsidering his choice in "hip" dance moves now. Perhaps a move to the robot is in order.

Serves that transparent unaccomplished hack right. Sell PSU's tradition, degree value, integri... err, strength of sched... um, B1G affiliation? Shit, maybe he should stick with the worm and squirting kids with water bottles after all.

I would like to see more of this thick and beautiful woman, you have a name?

Hey Franklin,

PAPER BITCH!

Domina Nostra · May 30, 2014

I know some kids aren't great fits socially, and some kids may not be great fits for our system...

But I HATE losing good kids from Indiana to other big-time programs when they are a fit. I think we should try to lock down the state--it recruiting so much easier if you can build a base within driving distance and then build from there.

I am super glad we signed Josh. Now go get Bilal!

ab2cmiller · May 30, 2014

It looks like his girlfriend is going to St. Mary's. Maybe the whole girlfriend thing finally worked to our advantage.

Great pickup.. +1 on the name.

yankeeND · May 30, 2014

Was so bummed when Josh unexpectedly chose PSU. Equally thrilled with this turn of events! Still really want Hilliard and Bilal, but this is a great start to the LB haul overall. Congrats Josh! It's much more fun to cheer for you than against ya.

No info, but I bet that's 100% the reason he flipped.

At least that's what Josh's friends think

Her twitter clearly states 'single'.

Let the drama begin, lol.

Awesome news!!!!!!!!!!!

Bogtrotter07 · May 30, 2014

This thread is getting creepy.

May not want to go that way.

Neither of those are the girlfriend being referred to lol.

EDIT: No, I did not go research this on Twitter. Context clues are all you need from what's been posted.

BeauBenken · May 30, 2014

Let's not talk about high school relationships, please? It's weird even for me and I just graduated 3 years ago.

50milesSE ND · May 30, 2014

This is BADASS!!!
Yes high school relationship conversations weird
Pandfan love your avatars keep bringing the hotness

Luckylucci · May 30, 2014

Welcome aboard Josh!

Irish Man3 · May 30, 2014

I hope that Bilal is still in play. We didn't offer him until Josh committed to PSU. Hilliard is obviously a take. Porter Gustin has to be a take.
