That's disappointing to see from Jones. Very classless on Gorman's part.

I don't know how long Nicco can hold up at the D1 level hitting like that, but it will be fun to see someone on defense willing to hit like he does. Perhaps, others will step up their game. Nicco can flat out hit.

Hopefully he "hit and wraps" and he won't have shoulder injuries that come with the position

The Gorman head coach just got the unlv job (I believe) so he could be gone already on the recruiting trail

Said since he committed that he reminded me of Tyrann Mathieu. I still see it. I don't see how he isn't contributing on Special Teams from Day 1.

I don't know if he'll ever be an every down type of player, but there is no way that this kid can't be used well in certain situations. I think he could play the Farley role from this year very well.

I love his hitting. But, what really sticks out to me is his feel for the game. He has great field vision.

Getting excited for Conor McGregor's next fight, so I've been watching a lot of UFC highlights lately, and it dawned on me... Adding a kid to the secondary who has spent his life around combat sports is a HUGE plus. Hope he knocks somebody's head off next summer and wakes the team up. I'm a huge Nicco fan.

Good point. We need a few hard knocks kinda guys that bring the intensity level up a notch.

Hasn't been able to stop either play, but has been on top of every trick play ran by the East team.

Bit hard on that fake bubble screen that allowed that long touchdown pass. Also, got beat by Cager on his long TD, too.

Yeah, he missed the tackle, but he did sniff it out; or else he just happened to be in the same place all along, lol

He was there on Cager (even though I'm not sure how he got matched up with him) until he got bumped off.

Might be correct on the bubble play. I didn't get to see who was on the field on that one.

Fertitta Fights Through To Play In Army Bowl - Irish Sports Daily

SAN ANTONIO – Notre Dame fans will have their eyes on Nicco Fertitta during the U.S. Army All-American Bowl here on Saturday. The Irish defensive back commit from Las Vegas is fine with the attention, but after being by many for much of the process, Fertitta is fine with that too.
“I don’t have anything to prove,” the 5-foot-10, 185-pounder said.
Fertitta and West teammate Aliz’e Jones played at Bishop Gorman and won four straight state championships and a national championship this fall. Fertitta is content with the résumé he put together as a high school player and is going to have fun today.
“I’m already going to Notre Dame and won the national championship,” said Fertitta. “It’s just a showcase, you get to show people what you can do on a national stage, playing on NBC with the best of the best. People can’t see anything after that because you’re playing the best of the best.”
Fertitta should be relatively easy for Irish fans to identify because he’ll be the one with the cast on his left hand.
“I had four screws put in it,” he said. “I broke it in the state semifinal game, but I’m playing. It hasn’t slowed me down and I’m the same player I was throughout the entire season.”
He wasn’t about to let that prevent him from playing in this game though.
“That’s not me,” he said. “I’m 100 percent all-out. If I get hurt in a game, I never come out, no matter what it is. I’ve always played in the game. My dad always taught me that. It’s a toughness thing and that’s what I’m bringing to Notre Dame.”
Fertitta will be headed to Notre Dame with at least four of his West teammates – Tristen Hoge, Jerry Tillery, Asmar Bilal and Josh Barajas – and maybe five since Jones is still an Irish target.
“It’s funny man,” Fertitta said of the group’s dynamic. “If you hang around us, you’d think we’d been friends for four years. It’s a brotherhood already and I think that’s why we’re going to be the best of the best when we get there. We’re going to do big things because we’re already molding together and not just the kids down here, it’s the entire recruiting class.”
The group grew close thanks to in-person contact as well as a long-running group text message.
“A lot of us took the same official visit and we have a big group text,” he said. “We’re texting on that all day long. It runs the battery out of my phone. We all just get along. Notre Dame looks for a certain type of person. You can tell, even with the older guys, when you meet them in the locker room, we’re on the same person.”
Fertitta doesn’t put any extra pressure on Jones to follow him to college because he sees the tight end as a friend and not a prospect.
“I don’t really recruit Aliz’e,” he said. “I want him to do what’s best for him. I told him to make your decision for what’s best for you. I think some of the other guys are like, ‘What’s the deal? What are you going to do?’ He’s making up his mind. We’ll see soon.”
Fertitta will leave San Antonio this weekend with memories he’ll cherish forever.
“It’s been amazing meeting a lot of these guys you wouldn’t normally meet because you live in different parts of the United States. Getting to compete with the best of the best, you don’t get to do that on a daily basis and doing that with these guys is definitely making me a better player.”
