'16 NC OLB/DE Julian Okwara (Notre Dame Signed NLI)

[Irish#1]

Safe to assume he's a take at this point? Not sure what his timeline is, but locking down a 4 DE this early would be awesome.

He's been offered, so I don't see why they wouldn't accept his commit.

 

[dublinirish]

is he super young for his HS grade like Romeo?

no, 17 already

Julian would be a great early addition. This staff is filling out the class early with position needs, then I expect our play on the field to pull in the final pieces.

Pull the trigger son. Lot of recruiting momentum on our side right now.

I like the fact that he posted a pic of the library in addition to the standard field/lockeroom

I would bet any amount of money it has everything to do with the mural on it and not the books in it.

Thought I read somewhere that his family is a high IQ crowd.

Doesn't matter. If it's for the books great, but I doubt it too. The mural is part of the atmosphere of the university, not just the football team. Especially since not taken from inside the stadium.

Generally, every recruit who visits who has a twitter account, takes and tweets a pic of Touchdown Jesus.

That's my point.

I have a feeling we are going to get a verbal from him after this weekends visit or at the B&G game if he visits.

Ha...the first time I took a picture of the mural many years ago i didn't even know it was the library.

Awe crap

Any insight into his timeline or favorites that you can share?

 

[Luckylucci]

Coming out of his visit ND is his leader. There are other teams of interest but not as serious as ND. Really enjoyed his time with the coaches, as he was able to spend a lot of time with them. We really made him a priority on the visit, more so than other schools. May make a decision before his senior season. Ryan Bartow from 247 has seemed to communicate with Julian fairly often is saying that Clemson and UGA are the other competition.

 

[irishandy]

Hopefully he pulls the trigger at the B&G game if he is there.

 

[CanadalovesND]

Announcing college decision on April 30th.

 

[IrishFanJMercy]

Gotta be us right?

 

[rtrn2glory]

that was my first reaction as well

 

[Luckylucci]

Yea, feel very confident this is to ND.

 

[IrishFanJMercy]

Any Idea why he isnt ranked on ESPN? Kid's Film is borderline high 4 star

 

[Luckylucci]

I never know what ESPN rankings are based on so I stopped following them.

All right, then!

(I think Kelly and his staff agree. And if it is any consolation, I know about 50 posters here that do!)

 

[GBdomer]

"He's leaning towards Notre Dame right now," Romeo said with a laugh. "I don't know [about Clemson or anyone else] but right now Notre Dame is at the top."

I asked Clemson fans about where they stand and they said they have never even heard of him or the mods didn't even no where they stood. This one is all ND IMO

Well then... I'll consider it a happy birthday commitment for me!

 

[Luckylucci]

Haha, well knowing that this is in the bag. I LOVE IT!!!!!!

 

[Riddickulous]

Between Julian and Romeo who is/was the better prospect?
