Thanks Insanity, I just read the transfer thread over in the other page. I saw where he had some ND followers a little bit ago, and was just making sure.

Covered in the transfer thread. It was let out early that we are looking to add a transfer. So after hours of educated guesses, some came to the conclusion of him. It would have to be an '11 or '12 EE recruit that's graduating. Most assume someone with prior interest. His name came up.

EDIT: There are other names being thrown around too. No confirmation on who we are expecting yet.

He's also the only guy on the list that has recently been followed by a bevy of Irish insiders and staff on twitter.

Thanks guys! I found my way over to the other tread but this helps and is appreciated. Was still digesting pages while multitasking on the phone working. Cheers.

I just don't think we need him. We have a ton of defensive linemen, several of whom are young that I want to see get as many reps as possible. I roll with what the coaches think, but I'm not down with this one personally...

He wants to see what it is like to win a game?

Ehhhhh, I mean, yes there's guys like Jhonny, Hill, and Blankenship (Trumbetti is going to be a monster this year), but I don't know what kind of impact they'll have THIS year. Hill is more of a rush LB similar to Eric Striker, Jhonny is still pretty raw. I don't know, we can never have too many edge rushers.

Welp, takes us out of the equation. Cal can actually BEAT Northwestern.

I never know what I'm talking about on these sorts of matters, unlike you guys who are recruiting experts, but I thought that he was likely to go to Stanford to play with his younger brother.

ND and Stanford are in the mix.

And what has Scarlett proven other than 3 years of being injured? 4 seasons in college, 3 of them marred by injuries to the point he played only a handful of games, and one season of 40 tackles and 2.5 sacks as a sophomore. If that's your definition of guaranteed impact, well, I strongly disagree. And if 2.5 sacks (and 3 injury plagued seasons) is your definition of a reliable edge rusher, then I disagree even stronger.

Fact is, he's not reliable because of injuries, and well, not great sack numbers when he was healthy, which we desperately need from our edge rushers. I'd rather see those reps and minutes go to a younger player with more years to give to the program. Plus, there are 5th year seniors that we currently have that I'd rather see stick with the program over Scarlett...

I agree that we don't "need" him in the sense that we have a lot of seemingly talented young guys on the line, but outside of Trumbetti, I haven't seen any of them show glimpses of elite potential. I'm sure that some certainly could, most young guys don't look elite immedietely, so don't get my sentiment wrong. What I'm trying to say is that when you look at teams like Bama, they do it with depth and competition. Scarlett could add that, imo. Hell... If we have an open spot for the year (?) what does it hurt?

I would prefer our young guys evolve into starters because they had to compete and show elite play to get a significant role rather than get a lot of playing time simply because we need them.

True. I'm not saying we NEED him per say. But I am saying that you can never have too many pass rushers. I'm pretty sure all of us would rather have Ishaq over Scarlett, but right now, that just doesn't look likely. If he can get his sh*t together academically, by all means (though Ishaq has proven even less than Scarlett, so there's that).

We'd have to make room for him bc right now we're at least 3 over (if we ask every talented 5th year back), and personally, I just don't think Scarlett is very good. He hasn't been healthy in 2 years, and he's been hurt 3 out of 4 years in college. You can't compete when you can't stay on the field.

I don't want anything given to the youngsters either, but I don't think anything will be given. There is plenty of talent there (don't forget we have Okwara as well), a proven coach, and there will be a fire to prove to the new coach that the players belong on the field. I don't think a 5th year guy with - career high of 2.5 sacks will make the fellas compete all that much harder, personally. Like I said, I'll ride with the coaches on this one, but I'd pass...

I wonder if Scarlett isn't a fallback for Ishaq not returning.
They're very similar players at this point in their career (highly touted recruits with lackluster careers and one season left to make an NFL statement) and if it's approaching go/no-go time for Williams, it'd be nice to have Scarlett for a one-year rental. I agree we've got some good young guys, but I'll take all the quality depth I can get at that position. Unlikely we have room for both Scarlett and Ishaq though.

 

[dublinirish]

somebody is bound to get hurt in spring ball or transfer due to depth chart. i would take him and worry about the numbers later

 

[CanadalovesND]

Headed to Stanford.

We are well above 85 right now. The worrying about numbers is going on right now - BK even alluded to it in his presser.
