[GrangerIrish24]

Dare I ask... what does Caleb Kelly at OLB do for you?

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Degenerates!

 

[ginman]

Best part is he already speaks Canadian so the foreign language requirement should be mute!!!!

forgive me, but ND is taking him as a WR, LB or figure it out later??

WR which I think is why we're in the lead.

 

[Luckylucci]

My understanding is that he wants to start out at WR and thats where we'll give him his first shot. However, Loy shared that there are those in his camp (assuming his HS coach that accompanied him on his ND visit) that think he'd be better on D. There are also those at ND that believe that as well. It sounds like, overall, we've had the best communication with him about his eventual position and thats playing a big role.

And can you imagine my embarrassment if I learn that he doesn't speak Canadian, because he was born deaf and moot!

6'6" and runs a 4.6?

Maybe leave him at WR at let him terrorize defenses deep down the field.

Or put him at OLB/DE and let him terrorize QBs and RBs all over the field.

 

[GrangerIrish24]

How well can he hold for field goals?

Ziggy Ansah anyone? Anyone? Hello?

 

[CanadalovesND]

That agility score is amazing for someone as tall as him. It shows on film, too. The dude is fluid.

I hear he also speaks Australian.

Ah, using the old bait and switch to reel him in!

Good.

 

[CanadalovesND]

Today happens to be his 17th birthday, as well.

 

[Luckylucci]

Not that we need more confirmation but A. Ivins at BGI has an update up that stresses once again things look really good for ND. Things working in our favor are the size of school, he wants a small campus and student body. Position, we are starting him at WR which is what he wants. Lastly, he wants a "father figure" as a coach and it sounds like Denbrock has nailed this recruitment. Oregon is out of it, even thought he wore the visor.

Manti closing the deal.

The Opening Day One Observations - One Foot Down

- All the talk about Chase Claypool as a player has been about him possibly getting too big to stick at receiver. Yesterday he showed me he can hang with the elite at the position and him being a jumbo receiver might actually be the best fit for him. He showed strong hands and was a much better route runner than I expected. He frequently created separation from himself and the defensive backs covering him.

Notre Dame should hopefully be getting some good news when he announces later this week and as of right now I'd probably take the athlete label away for him and slot him at wide receiver if he joins the 2016 recruiting class.
