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

[OlympiaIrishFan]

More so than the others in the position. Like I said, we are extremely thin. Look at the entire list of DE we have, he is one of the few guys who are not inside DLinemen. So, yes he is a pass rusher in what we have available.

With Williams and Hill transfers we are really short on DE pass rushers.

FWIW I've heard Grant Blakenship is a complete douche. Apparently he threw his half eaten lunch on the ground on campus, and when he was called on it, said "They have people here for that"

 

[OlympiaIrishFan]

If true that sucks.

lol the first time I saw a picture of Grant I thought "damn this kid looks like a huge douche".

I am excited to see this kid and I think he'll excel just as good as Tillery or better with him being an EE.

maybe he was referring to the trolls who live in the underground steam pipe network?

Get here fast and get ready to play, not much comp at yhis position for sure. The biggest area of recruiting misses by the staff. Hill, wallace, and Williams all huge misses/mistakes. Jury out on grant obviously. That would make 4. Andrew looks solid.

 

[Irish Man3]

Blankenship is a giant prick and I'm not sure how someone on the team hasn't planted this kid yet.

Kareem will contribute in year one. Backing up Isaac makes most sense at this point.

 

[IrishFanJMercy]

Just picked up a fumble and returned for a touchdown

 

[IrishFanJMercy]

He is either getting held or double teamed
On every play

 

[OlympiaIrishFan]

We sure need him to contribute early!! I am glad he is coming in with momentum.

 

[DomeX2 eNVy]

He was named game MVP. Congrats.

 

[NDPhilly]

He's to talented for the semper fi game. Would have liked to have seen him in the UA or Army game

 

[GoldenDomer]

He shut down IE

[ThePiombino]

The quiff will do it every time.

Semper fi game had some play makers though...Ron Johnson is a stud and probably out played Kareem all week.

Saying that Kareem had a fumble return for a TD and another fumble return for like 80 yards.

Congrats Khalid! It's awesome that he's going to be on campus in just a few days!

Steve Belles, coach for the West squad, started double teaming Khalid with OG's, TE's, and RB's because he was dominating their LT so much early on. IMO, he was so much more disruptive than the other DE's, it just didn't show up in sacks and TFL's due to the double teams and rolling the pocket away from him. Constantly in the backfield.

When do new rankings come out? It seems like Khalid Kareem as well as Eichenburg are gonna shoot up a lot of services' borads

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Khalid was unstoppable.

One thing that hasn't changed about football, if a defensive linemen takes up two or even three players blocking him, somebody should have a free shot to clean up.

The difference with Khalid was that two or three still didn't move him anywhere he didn't want to be. It's a real man among boys that can fight that many players to a standstill.

Not only did he free up his linebackers, he didn't give ground, so he plugged up holes and caused the opposing offensive running game to make decisions they weren't fond of making.

Those Alabama and Ohio State recruits really slide under the radar, but always end up suprising people in the end.

I was just wondering if we ever had more important EEs? I can imagine a number of scenarios where a few of these young men will be contributing in our first game this fall.

And most likely will replace Rochell in 2017 at SDE.
