'16 SC CB Troy Pride Jr. (Notre Dame Signed NLI)

[Sherm Sticky]

Wiltfong with the CB, as well as Bartow. Sounds like everyone is pretty much in agreement that this should be ND on Xmas Eve. Also, he played so well last week at Shrine Bowl practice that 247 is going to put him in the top 100, BOOM!

Damn that is crazy. Wonder if the other sites will give him a boost.

I'm a little weary though. Remember the last time ND got a player from the Carolinas who was a 3 star, played great all week at the shrine bowl, blew up and ended up in the rivals top 100.

God damn I was pretty high on this kid but that's awesome. 247 has him at 262 right now which is the highest of any site already. Other sites need to move him up too before his composite score is any good, It's only 86.6 right now. Shit ESPN has him as a 3 star 73 as the #90 CB in the country. Other sites need to move him up too

It's usually either scout or ESPN that kill composite rankings lol.

I would have been worried if he would have visited Clemson. I don't think he has the relationship with their staff like he has with ND's

 

[Goldedommer44]

Is this what you are referring to earlier that Anna says he is Irish?

Does't matter as long as the kid can play and the staff thinks he can. Let them all come in as 2 stars. Then we'll surprise the crap out of everyone! lol

Anyone know what arguably the best corner in the NFL was rated in high school? Josh Norman. 0 stars. 0 D1 offers.

It's all about effort and want.

Koon, you've already answered, however, I'm not seeing any abs in the picture!!!!

Add to that Richard Sherman and Darrelle Revis. Both were 3 stars. Sherman was the #65 athlete and Revis was the 46th ranked CB. From rivals.

False. It's also about genetics and developed athleticism and usually the stars are a good indication of who has the genetic make-up to succeed.

Then it's all about effort and want.

Good thing he didn't show any abs. Koon's already got a chubby.

There is no way this kid is anything but Irish.

 

[Jackalope1977]

Agree. Nice to hear when kids appreciate a school who doesn't neg recruit other schools.

 

[arrowryan]

Troy has a little brother named Chance that just finished up his sophomore season. He has a good sophomore tape and I wouldn't be surprised if the staff starts to recruit him (maybe they already have). He was Troy's OV to Notre Dame for the USC game

[Domina Nostra]

My confidence that he picks ND is at 99.9999999% after that video. He is going to be a perfect fit.

Was the video edited for time or did the interviewer interrupt every answer?

 

[ab2cmiller]

It was the fastest back and forth interview of a recruit I've ever seen.

 

[NDhoosier]

The interviewer interrupted him multiple times and he was giving quality answers. Surprised he didnt get upset, I saw him make a face once, but the kid showed patience.

What?

Is he misquoting Billy Joel? Son, "it's five o'clock on a Saturday..."

Yea, I'm thrilled with this DB class! Studstill, Elliot, Perry, Morgan, Love and hopefully Pride in a couple of days. Lots of potential on the way!

No, he paraphrasing Gene Autry:

Here comes Santa Claus!
Here comes Santa Claus!
Right down Santa Claus Lane!
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
are pulling on the reins.
Bells are ringing, children singing;
All is merry and bright.
Hang your stockings and say your prayers,
'Cause Santa Claus comes Thursday night.
