'16 MI DE Khalid Kareem (Notre Dame Early Enrollee)

fightingirish26 · Oct 24, 2015

the inside has been much more disruptive

johnnycando · Oct 24, 2015

This is a huge pick up.

Great move by the staff and Kareem for the future of our football team.

He will make a great impact for us.

I'm so jacked about his commitment.

I don't see how Kareem isn't at least in the 2 deep next year. He is a EE, I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up starting over someone like Trumbetti I think he will be the best pass rusher on the team next year.

Whoa whoa, he doesn't even play the same position as Trumbetti. I think he's probably first man off the bench, and they'll kick Rochell inside.

Romeo Okwara(DE) has as many sacks(3.0) as the entire Interior of the line (Day:2.0, Tillery:1.0).

But I would certainly like to see an elite pass rusher out on the edge of the ND line.

Couple of things:

"Going forward," meaning next year and beyond, Okwara isn't on the team, and there are no proven pass rushing defensive ends on the roster.

And as another poster mentioned, the disruption has come from the interior, so numbers without context offer little value. The sacks from our defensive ends I believe are coming from either coverage sacks or from the interior collapsing the pocket and forcing the qb to move outside.

I think it's also fair to say that our best defensive end, Rochell, is really a defensive tackle.

Isaac Rochell has been VERY disruptive, so it's not all coming from the interior.

Watching the kid's Hudl highlights: He's obviously a one man wrecking crew at the HS level, and certainly a guy that you hope you can land. But I hope his angles get better, because he's probably not going to be able to make as many of those "grab the ballcarrier with one hand and drag them down" tackles in major DI-A football.

If this commitment holds, Irish recruiting takes big leap forward. Congrats on your decision, hope a couple other join you to make the incoming D haul one of the best.

Love this pick up. I have a feeling we could end up with a strong class.

Congrats Khalid!!

Has it ever been figured out what made him decommit from saban?

Paging t tommy

ACamp1900 · Oct 24, 2015

Some really think he wouldn't get PT next year? Really? I'd be surprised if he red shirted for sure...

Visited Bama with his parents about a month ago and thought the distance was too far. Wanted to play closer to home.

Didn't like my response to Grubl?????? Whatevs.......

Phammer needs to use the big stick to get this man on the front page.

Is he MIA?

Shoot. He used to put out some excellent and well put together posts.

I guess life beckons after an ND degree.

I think it's missing Donte Vaughn too, probably doesn't help that College Football exploded with the USCs news right aftr his decision.

Tommy's sources have Khalid solid to Bama, rooming with Barnett next year.

drake29 · Oct 29, 2015

Some said Bama had cooled on Kareem. Might be a mutual parting of ways...

They caught wind that he wanted to go to class and study and graduate, instead of just playing football.

I kid Tommy.

Rocket94 was correct in his post. Kareem visited Bama a little while back and during the visit conveyed to Saban that the distance from home was an issue. Better to make the decision now and not a year or two down the road. That says a lot about the kids character. Being honest and what he feels is best for him. And, it gives Bama time to recruit a position of need. I think it worked out well for both in this instance... and that is sometimes rare in the world of recruiting.

If you would have said rooming with Barnett's mom... I may have believed you.

If Barnett's mom is anything like McCarron's mom, you have my attention.

I think this could very well be true. Classy post man because I agree with you

Phammer's been busy lately, but he checks in when he can. We relay the front page updates to him as they come up, so I'd imagine he'll get to it soon.

It's easier to be classy when you replace a 4 star with two - 5 stars

Of course, I think TTT is a quality poster, just sayin. We're used to the sour grapes, TTT is used to champagne infusions.

I agree with this but then don't say you are mad a player who commits to ND but then wants to stay closer to home.

Me likey. Assuming Saban was supportive, kudos to the devil too LOL. Again though, easy to be generous when you print your own money

Thanks TTT for the info
