'16 FL OL Parker Boudreaux (Notre Dame Signed NLI)

[irish4ever]

Alabama offered.

So will UCLA IF commits to ND.

 

[NDinL.A.]

ND is in good shape here.

 

[yankeeND]

ND is in good shape here.

Nice! I am interested to see if we can get three of the big-time OL we are after. Bredeson I beleive is Wisonson's to lose and I feel like at the moment Ohio St. has all of the momentum for Eichenburg. Boudroux is just very important to the class and that holds true whether one of those other two is in or out in my opinion. It's also nice to see is in good standing with any great player out of Florida.

 

[IRISHFAN76]

We will land this guy I have a feelin

 

[Irish YJ]

We will land this guy I have a feelin

 

[irishroo]

So will we take 4 OL this year? Already got Kraemer and seem to have a good shot at Eichenberg, Bredeson, and Boudreaux, all of whom are the type of project you generally can't turn down.

 

[Nick Setta]

ND is in good shape here.

Awesome! Kids a stud.

I think we take 2 OTs and 2 OGs, but I'd be shocked if OSU doesn't land Eichenburg.

 

[GBdomer]

Currently at UF and he grew up a Gator fan and some think if they push they might be hard to beat. I think he will play the processs out but I think Clemson, UF and ND are his top 3

Clemson

Visits to Clemson, UF, and ND are upcoming. Preference is to use his official visits in the fall and commit at a national all-star game.

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

OL committing at an all-star game? Don't want.

 

[Domina Nostra]

OL committing at an all-star game? Don't want.

Haha. I actually agree.

 

[dublinirish]

not sure how a kid can be down to his final 3 and then say he wants to spend a good part of 12 months deciding between them :/

Hopefully, what it means is he just hasn't found the right fit yet, and he'll change his mind when he does.

 

[Grahambo]

I try to give the kids the benefit of the doubt when doing interviews. Most of them would rather not be hated by any one teams' fan base so they try to appease them with positive comments.

Got a long, long, long way to go.

Clemson cleaned up last year with a very ND like haul in Hyatt, Fruhmorgan and Green. Gotta play the Catholic card on the family and that O lineman need to work out up north where it's cooler (actually perfect for 3/4 of the season)) and where they learn to play in the snow... just like you will on Sundays Parker!...

In all seriousness, how does any OLinemen who qualifies and can handle the classroom demands not verbal to ND immediately upon receiving an offer just to hold his spot? ND is the perfect situation right now for OLinemen, NFL caliber line coaching, NFL weather, a Top 3 education among Power 5 schools, (possibly #1 depending on major) an alumni association / fanbase that is waiting to hire you as the program is such an integral part of the school's experience unlike Stanford, Duke, Northwestern and Vandy and most importantly, they have at least 2-3 years to learn, lift and eat before they are even expected to contribute. The less a guy has to play in college and stay healthy, the better chance he has to get to the league uninjured. Just like Kentucky is the best place for high school basketball players to go to if they are wanting to make it to the pro's, ND is the equivalent for offensive lineman at this moment.

[Whiskeyjack]

a Top 3 education among Power 5 schools...

FTFY. Vandy and Northwestern aren't even close to ND and Stanford in terms of academic quality.

He really, really liked the visit. Everything pretty much went perfectly in his mind. That being said he has plans to visit many other places so his recruitment probably has a while to go. Commented that 3 of the schools they hear about most from Parker are PSU, Clemson and ND.

Clemson is truly special if you are a venereal disease.

Don't forget the fungi, molusks, crabs and flees!

I guess it's probably good that we get the last visit before he cuts his list to 5
Parker Boudreaux breaks down his Top 10 and decision date - Clemson Football News | TigerNet

Four-star offensive line prospect Parker Boudreaux narrowed his list of schools down to 10 Wednesday evening, tweeting out his list on social media, and it came as no surprise that Clemson was in Boudreaux’s top ten.

The 2016 guard prospect out of Orlando (FL) Bishop Moore holds roughly 70 offers, but Wednesday’s announcement narrowed that list down to Georgia Southern, Clemson, Penn St., Notre Dame, Auburn, Oklahoma, Alabama, Ole Miss, Florida and Iowa.

Shortly after the announcement, TigerNet spoke with Boudreaux to get his thoughts on each of his top ten.

CLEMSON

“Well, I've been there twice and obviously they're the most genuine people up there. The coaches are really cool. You can feel the great tradition and culture and family atmosphere. I'm just really comfortable up there. One of my trainers is a guy that played for Coach (Robbie) Caldwell at Vanderbilt so I learned a lot of the same techniques. I know how he coaches because I've watched a practice. It just feels really comfortable up there.”

Georgia Southern

“They were one of first offers and they gave me the nickname P-Money. They're probably the coolest guys up there. They are my favorite from all of the smaller schools. They're just so cool up there.”

Penn St.

“I went there for a game against Ohio State and got a chance to sit down with Coach [Tony] Franklin and Coach [Herb] Hand for a little while. The fans are the most friendly fans ever. Everybody is just really friendly up there. You can feel the family atmosphere up there and I'm pretty comfortable. I think Coach Franklin is going to do a really good job and bring them to be one of the top Big 10 schools.”

Notre Dame

“Bishop Moore is like a smaller Notre Dame. It's private and Catholic. They have good academics. The coaches are really, really good coaches and they genuinely care about you. I'm going up there in the summer and I'll be visiting them in June along with Iowa.”

Auburn

“I've been there three times. I've really liked it all three times. It's pretty nice. It's small college town and everything revolves around football. Coach [Gus] Malzahn is a real genuine guy. He's going to build good character on and off the field to make you be the best person you can be.”

Oklahoma

“I visited them recently. You can just feel the tradition. It's all about winning and family. Also, there are really friendly over there. It's kind of far away from home but not really. It doesn't feel like when you're there. Coach [Bob] Stoops is an awesome coach and he's been there for a while and been in a lot bowl games.”


Alabama

“I visited them over spring break. Coach [Mario] Cristobal - the line coach - he's one of the best coaches I've met so far. He knows what he's talking about. Great guy. The football facilities and academic support over there are insane. It's really, really impressive. The campus is really pretty.”

Ole Miss

“Coach [Hugh] Freeze is a lot like Dabo Swinney. He's a super Christian, genuine, family guy. He treats his players like his family. He cares about them. The campus is super pretty. Everything is walkable. It's a good chance to come in and play early.”

Florida

“It's right by home. It's an hour and 20 minutes away. Coach [Jim] McElwain is changing the program back to a top 10 program. He did that at Colorado State and that's pretty hard to do. The need for offensive lineman - they have six or seven scholarship offensive linemen right now, so it's a great chance to come in and compete for a spot as a freshman. I love Coach [Mike] Summers, he's been there forever. He's the only coach that stayed with the new staff.”

Iowa

“I haven't visited but I'm going to visit this summer. They put a lot of linemen in the league every year. I just want to go up there and see what it's about. Coach [Kirk] Ferentz is a really cool guy. They really like offensive line up there. I just want to go up there and check everything out because they are the offensive line university.”

So when will Boudreaux make a decision?

“Once I visit Notre Dame, I'm going to narrow down my list to a top five and research all of those schools and try to take some official visits and try to make a decision then,” he said.
