Coach's kid who is meant to be technically very good, well coached as you might imagine.

No Sparty offer

LOL

 

[connor_in]

No Sparty offer on 1/26 and verbaled to Sparty on 2/1...Dantonio is a wizard

 

[GoldenDomer]

Well... yeah...

 

[Irish#1]

This thread didn't even get a chance to be broken in.

 

[ThePiombino]

Well... yeah...

The assistant who grabbed the jug should be slapped. But 55's reaction makes it all worth it.

 

[Riddickulous]

Decommitted. Already.

 

[BeauBenken]

Decommitted. Already.

In three days?

That's gotta be a record. Aside from the NSD crap.

Our own Stephon Tuitt was committed to GT for around 24 hours before he recommitted to us.

 

[clashmore_mike]

Probably doesn't even have an offer from Sparty.

Hah! Touche.

How soon we forget sometimes. I guess I didn't think about him since he flipped his commitment instead of simply decommitting.

 

[Luckylucci]

Per BGI he's visiting for Junior Day.

 

[Luckylucci]

The staff told Khalid that Gilmore will be here and that's a positive as they have a pre-existing relationship. "He's a good coach, I like him."

So that basically confirms Gilmore is in?

 

[Bogtrotter07]

So that basically confirms Gilmore is in?

Also : Coaching Change thread has his UNC players wishing him luck at ND.

Just waiting for the notary to put their seal on the paper.

 

[rtrn2glory]

hopefully we can make a good impression wit at least a couple of the big time DE's coming to town

 

[Legacy93]

Just waiting for the notary to put their seal on the paper.

For all those fans of The League out there: Looks like someone needs to call in Taco to notarize.

Wiltfong says the Gilmore hire will have a major effect on Kareem's recruitment. Would love to lock up a kid who seemed destined for East Lansing only a month ago. He's close to putting in a CB for the Irish.

 

[PANDFAN]

CB just came in for us w/ him by a 247 writer for the minn gophers

 

[Mavericknyc1980]

Gilmore seems like it is starting to pay off for us.

 

[IrishFanJMercy]

This kid is going to be a very good DE

 

[GoldenToTheGrave]

This kid is going to be a very good DE

Looks strong at the point of attack and moves laterally pretty well. Could stand to learn some pass rush moves, not overly impressed with how he uses his hands, but that's something that can be learned.

 

[PANDFAN]

Yale offered

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

need three quality DEs this cycle, would be great if Kareem was one of them.

 

[Luckylucci]

When Wiltfong mentions something multiple times or mentions how good our chances are with a player in threads about a different prospect, I tend to get fairly confident. That is what he's been doing with Khalid Kareem.

 

[PANDFAN]

^ coach D raved about him as a prospect
