'16 FL OL Parker Boudreaux (Notre Dame Signed NLI)

[GBdomer]

He followed me on Twitter one day almost immediately after I sent a Tweet with the #IrishEl17e hash tag. I guess he was trolling the hashtag and giving out follows to ND fan's hoping for a follow back.

I followed him back for a total of three hours. My entire twitter for those three hours was him RTing people thanking him for the follow and trying to be the biggest ass kisser. It was awful. I unfollowed thereafter.

Part of me wants to believe that he does it because he knows people get a kick out of feeling like an ND player wants to follow/converse with them, but the other part knows that he's just soaking in the fame and acting the celebrity, trying to get his followers up.

That part of you is 110% correct IMO. If he was a diva WR then I could see this but I've never seen an OL act this way. I could see Quenton Nelson picking him up over his head and just throwing him five yards across the locker room. But the other part of me just believe his teammates love him and when it's go time he will be the first guy lined up ready for war. That part of me loves Parker

He is 17 years old and acts like it. I don't care as long as he cuts that crap out when he gets to college.

 

[koonja]

I don't think he takes his twitter seriously. I feel like he takes his twitter about as seriously as I take my posts. I bet he thinks it's funny. If I'm wrong well know because he won't be liked in college if he actually thinks he's the man.

i could care less if he continues when he gets to ND as long as he balls out. what he does on the interwebz means absolutely nothing.

Why don't you guys stop being haters. P$ gonna do what P$ gonna do. You can't stop the swag-train. Either hop on or lose yo spot. This train waits fo no one.

Really hope everyone catches the sarcasm.

will wear #50 this fall

lol and all the twitter nut sack swingers have already stated they have bought the number 50 jersey. I saw one retweet where a dude said he has already bought the 50 jersey and ordered two more for his kids because he will be their idols. I wanted to slam the guys face through a kitchen table.

btw he's only 6'1.5 not 6'3

 

[calvegas04]

did any school not offer him? Just looked at his offers again and that is crazy... he was wanted by everyone

I hear ya man. I really do and I know what you're talking about. I REALLY hope Parker becomes a beast guard for us. But even more than that, i hope all his twitter and social media doings don't end up hurting us somehow. I'd say it's time to chill on that stuff if I was him….

No way he's 6-1.5. What's the source?

 

[GBdomer]

him per a youtube interview when he checked in at the opening

I also talked to someone at ISD who said he is right around 6'0-6'1

Through a friend I've met Parker a couple of times and hung out with his dad. Great kid, awesome dad...but he's not 6'4". Not even close. Even his dad would tell you that.

I know this was posted to reference his height, but the two biggest things I came away with after watching this video: very respectful kid, probably responded to the reporter with "sir" 25 times. Second, he said Alford was recruiting him while at ND, and continued to do so after leaving for tOSU, but had nothing bad to say about ND. I never thought Alford would act any differently, but it's just refreshing to see that an opportunity to negatively recruit was there and he took the high road. Hope Alford gets that opportunity to be a head coach someday.

You might be right it sure sounded to me like he said 6'1.5

 

[Irish#1]

I don't think his height will hurt him one bit at guard. It will probably help him in the run game as he'll be able to get lower on the DT's.

 

[ulukinatme]

This. When you're trying to block, we always used to say low man wins. Not saying a few inches will win the day, but it may help him with that leverage.

 

[dshans]

Damn! The Hornets could have used a big boy like this when I was a student at Bishop Moore in the late '60s.

 

[GoldenDome]

Height is a bit overrated. I would be more interested in arm length.

 

[ND Fan Vancouver]

Height is a bit overrated. I would be more interested in arm length.

True. I think it's certain that he will not be playing tackle. Zack Martin was/is 6'4 and he was considered short at T but with his impeccable skill and preparation he thrived. It's really hard to tell how tall Boudreaux really is. That pic of him next to DJ Morgan really throws me off. Many quality starters at Guard are below 6'4. Bottom line, the kid is a physical specimen. Big time weight lifter. Had a ridiculous offer list. Won a state title in Florida and will more than likely start at guard for us somewhere in the future.

 

[GowerND11]

I just want to see him blocking in front on a screen for some reason. Really think he'd enjoy it too.

 

[NorthDakota]

I'm more interested if he can ball. I don't care if he is a little short or his arms are not long enough. If he can play....thats the question.

 

[NDdomer2]

Harry H made this kid a priority, nuff said. Harry has not offered other highly touted linemen during his time. Parker made the cut.
