Wilt don't[/B] continues to say that he thinks Kareem signs with ND. Says he's waiting on one more piece of info before he changes his CB.

Provided we can flip Kareem and get Hayes, that's a pretty good DL haul.

Kareem
Hayes
Okwara
Ade
Jones
Kemp?

You all Sarked up or what?


Edit: I cannot bold on my mobile.

Would rather have a DT and one DE then both Kareem and Hayes. Think Okwara will be a good one and we need DT depth more then DE.

What's with this kid considering flipping to us from Bama? Ttown said he saw nothing on his Bama board about it. I checked their commit list to see if they added other DEs, but he's the only one in Bama's class (they have 3 DT'S committed). And with him originally being torn between Michigan and Bama?

Idk, I refuse to accept we pull both this guy from Bama and Hayes from USC when both are DEs lol.

To Philly's question, fwiw, he's listed at 6'4", 260 on 247. Perhaps he can be a swing man like Rochell.

Interesting because I actually thnk the opposite. Our DT depth is quite good, with a lot of eligibility. 4 deep at both positions with one graduation. 3 deep at both DE positions with one graduation.

Khalid Kareem and he's a big time academic kid as well. I think that might be coming into play here. We also were at one the point the leaders for him. However, word was we slow played him or at least didn't close the deal like we should have. Some lack of communication. So not a total shocker that this could occur.

I wouldn't be surprised if 2 of their DT recruits end up being ends in their 3-4. Both their ends starting now are over 300 pounds so I wouldn't be surprised if they foresee these kids listed as DTs as future ends. They also have better depth than ND at the position. Isn't Hand currently a backup there?

I was taking into account our 2016 commits too which are all DEs it looks like. More then anything we just need impact players instead of bodies which Hayes and Kareem can be. Kareem looks like he can play DT and SDE looking at his highlight tape. Kinda wish we have waited on Jamir Jones. Think we could have gotten him or a similar player later in the cycle if needed.

Normally I'd agree, but the staff saw something we didn't with Jamir and from what they've said over at ISD, Jamir has made a HUGE leap. He's bigger, faster, stronger and more natural a defender.

IMO if Kareem comes to ND, he ends up as a DT-3 tech. rather than as a SDE. I'm sure early if he impresses that he would be a D-Line swingman just to make him more valuable and to get him on the field more.

Ye have little faith in how fat Longo can make people. Both of these guys could be DTs in the Longo program.

Don't you think Longo having guys gain wait is part of the problem? You see all these schools with 230 pound or 255 pound DE, why do we have guys that are pushing 300? Makes zero sense. I think if we let the guys keep muscle on and maintain their weight we could have a better pass rush?

I'd much rather have Kareem as an SDE. It is so important to hold/collapse the edge on the strong side in this scheme. If you are able to do that, athletic linebackers can clean up. We have enough DT/NTs on this team: Jarron Jones (albeit coming back from injury, Tillery, Cage, Mokwuah, Dew-Treadway, Elijah Taylor, Tiassum, Jay Hayes (maybe), Jonathon Bonner (tweener).

Yeah, WTF are you on about?

Seriously, he's a troll or he's one of the saddest people I've ever encountered on a message board. Literally nothing is correct. Look at his posting history, if you can find him making 3 positive posts in the last 30, I'll be impressed.

This guy is huge. I almost certain he was at Michigan game last year as an unofficial visitor. He dwarfed everyone. Seriously as big as Tillery.

As I said I think early on he's a swing player a SDE and DT-3tech but ultimately I think he ends as the pass rushing DT in the same mold as Day.

Anna has made a couple comments about Kareem. Saying ND is very much in it and possible visit soon as well.

His FHH squad are 6-1 on the season and 6-0 in league play. He's been playing both ways (OT and DE).

I get these terrible shakes any time I think of a bunch of big time recruits coming for the USC game... bad memories.
