'16 MI OLB Daelin Hayes (Notre Dame Early Enrollee)

[Cackalacky]

I see him initially as a 3rd down pass rusher at first. Much like Kolin Hill was.

I see him in a golden helmet, everything else can be figured out afterward. But agreed, he'll challenge for PT, especially if he EEs and gets some spring reps under his belt.

So you think he'll transfer? Well that's great. Pass.

 

[TomHaverford]

agree on combines but he was a linebacker/DE hanging step for step w/ running backs(elite)...just pointing out that his athleticism/speed is great for a guy that size..and the sample size of his high school career is very limited but wanted to put into perspective for those who haven't seen any other film on him...there is a reason though many college coaches would love for him to be on their team

absolutely. he's everything college teams look for in terms of size and athleticism. He's 6'3/6'4, 250 right now with virtually no bad weight, very long, very quick-twitch, very explosive and athletic athlete.

If he takes to coaching and develops he could be a top 10 NFL Draft pick. His athletic skills are that freaking good.

Looked a lot more comfortable standing up.

Personally, I think we need his athleticism for our place kick holding

Just hope he visits this weekend. I'll take a project 4/5 star over a project 3 star any day.

Someone post that gif of the girl playing flip cup with her donk. It's time to celebrate.

That's amazing. Visiting for USC would have meant so much less to me.

presume hes saving his official for Usc and coming for texas game on his own dime?
Works out nice he's at Skyline this year as generally Cass Tech would play all their games on saturdays, this frees him up to visit ND for every home game

247 confirms this will be an unofficial. Still OVing for USC.

Loy has been fairly confident over the last week that Daelin's decommitment is on the horizon.

 

[TomHaverford]

good luck, hope you guys flip him from 'SC.

I don't like seeing top kids from the midwest going out to USC. Michigan lost some top kids from their own state to USC from like 2007-2010. Hated seeing that b/c the midwest produces so little talent compared to California. Midwest programs need to keep their talent in the midwest. Hard enough to compete as it is. Top recruits from Michigan, Illinois, PA, Ohio, Indiana going out to Cali or down South to play college ball hurts a lot more than vice versa. They can find 10 kids just as good for every 1 we have.

Wow. This keeps getting better

I don't see the comparison. Hill was adept at using is leverage and different angles when attacking bigger players as an edge rusher. He also had a small array of pass rushing moves and a nonstop motor. I still think Hayes' best potential position is LB. Personally I think this kid has better fluidity and range than say, a Raekwon McMillan or Jeff Luc. Both carried a lot of bulk in their senior seasons before entering college but didn't or haven't changed positions.

Allen Trieu, Scout midwest analyst, checked in with his sources and does not think he ends up at USC. ND is rising

 

[koonja]

Loy with big ole' bawlz on this one. Sam Cassell style.

I did not say he was similar to Hill. I said I see him being used similar to the way Hill was in order to see early playing time. A speed rusher off the edge. He is also trending towards outgrowing the LB spot and projects to a DE. IIRC.

 

[ryno 24]

Loy has stuck with his guns on this one. He has really come to play and that is why I invest in him and 247. They are hard workers.

Patience grasshopper. Celebrate when we get a verbal commitment.

 

[dublinirish]

Daelin's Skyline squad take on Saline in week3 who are a budding powerhouse. This will be the game where we can all see if his talent can shine against a superior opponent

Here is yet another situation that leaves only able to
