Not sure I understand the logic here, honestly. Just because he can play on a D1 level and his brother plays here, we should offer him? His brother was a blue chip player, at a position of need, and the light is just coming on late in his career. There is risk here with Jamir with that even before we get to the fact that we will have a small class and can hopefully get a more talented player at his position.

Also... I highly doubt that Jarron would suddenly quit playing hard just because we didn't give his brother a scholarship. If he did, then he is playing for the wrong reason. College football isn't a charity and giving scholarships to any sibling of a player isn't "taking care of our own".

I'm not saying that I wouldn't be happy to have him if the staff worked him out and thought he could contribute to the team and make them better. But the staff isn't doing Jamir any favors if he isn't a fit. Hell, he may not like the school's atmosphere, difficult academics or maybe becoming a starter early is important to him. He shouldn't want to come to Notre Dame just because Jarron is here either, he should want to come to Notre Dame because he wants to be challenged, work hard and become a difference maker on an elite football team. If he thinks that he could achieve that better somewhere else, then he should do that. It has to be a mutual fit or it can end up being a mutual disservice.

Let's give all here the benefit of the doubt. Don't think the coaches would offer unless they felt JJ had something to offer the TEAM, either sooner or later. And the kid wouldn't commit unless he felt ND was the best place for him and hi goals. Time will tell, but in the meantime, welcome to the Clan.

If we end up with Chase Claypool, then we will have three defensive recruits (Claypool, Jones & Elliott) that played QB for their high school. That's a lot of athleticism. Especially considering that two of them will be front 7 guys. lol

That is exactly what Ara used to do!

Anyone who doesn't want this kid as a personal issue clouding their judgment.

I would take this kid over Fox every day of the week. With attitude, growth, and history figured in, I would bet this kid would eclipse any ceiling Fox had by his sophomore year.

Thoughts from Zembiec--his friend and PSU Commit

Thoughts from Zembiec--his friend and PSU Commit

“Last year, everyone learned a lot about Jamir,” said Zembiec. “When I got hurt and he played quarterback, it showed that he’s willing to give up whatever he can for the team. He’s not really a quarterback, but he can play everything. He’s a terrific athlete. He put his own future somewhat on hold, whether that was at linebacker, defensive end or even tight end, just to benefit the team and play quarterback for us. We needed him and he came through for us. That was big.

“He’s gained so much respect from everyone. He takes a leadership role in the classroom, in the weight room and on game day. People look at him as a leader. He has everyone’s respect. He’s also a very confident player and person. He knows he has the ability to excel on the field and I think people really respect how he goes about it.”

This is pretty awesome.

Per Mike Frank this morning, the staff sees him as a SAM linebacker at this time.

If that's the case, they will probably be looking for one more LB and at least two more DE recruits for this class? Or am I off base with my math?

 

[Redbar]

Welcome home Jamir!

 

[NDWorld247]

Jamir will be playing for New York in the 1st Annual NY vs NE Challenge on Saturday, an all star 7v7 event created by a UCONN Rivals reporter (independently from Rivals) and FortSports, a HS sports event company. There are players committed to 8-9 different FBS schools in the game and they did a really good job of getting the best players in NY & NE to play.

Some of my players are on team New England so I'll be there all day. The schedule includes positional drills/competitions, 1v1s, team practices and then the 7v7 game to end the day. There's also media availability and schools like Syracuse, Rutgers, UCONN, BC, UMASS, etc are expected to have media there. I doubt any ND media will be there but I'll definitely come back with some thoughts on Jamir. I want to see him do well but he'll likely be covering one of my guys who needs exposure so I won't shed any tears if he gets beat a few times.

One other name in the game that might interest ND fans...Koby Quansah, former ND target committed to Duke.

I read somewhere that Jamir is up to 6'3" 230 lbs. and plans on playing both WR, LB and with his hand on the ground this season. Has anyone gotten a look at him since he put on all that weight? I'd love for this kid to prove me wrong and turn into a legit recruit.
