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

[GoldenToTheGrave]

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.

Zach Martin is short for an NFL left tackle but not horrible for a college tackle. I still think he could have done decently well at LT in the NFL but why do that when you could have an all-pro guard.

Good, I like when our QBs can see over the OL.

 

[BobbyMac]

Good, I like when our QBs can see over the middle of our OL.

Fixed

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

what

 

[ND Fan Vancouver]

what

Yes, i agree. What?!?!?! Tommy Kraemer and Liam Eichenberg were both commits from JUST last year and were VERY highly touted....not to mention.....I don't even know what to say......

Pretty sure he meant that there are SOME elite OL that hiestand hasn't offered. Not saying he hasn't offered any, just that he hasn't offered some

You're probably right. I retract my overreaction.....having a bad day.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

I believe that ND2 was referencing Harry's policy of not offering other linemen, even elite ones if he has a commit. Your confusion may come in the commitment order. Think back to the offer order. Tommy, Liam, and PMoney were Harry's three. All committed eventually, but Parker first. Harry didn't offer anyone, even Jesus Jr., after Parker committed.

Yes there was that kid from Wisconsin, but that is irrelevant to what we are discussing.

No new offers, in drips or deluge came out after PMoney was in the bag! (Like that?)

As far as his height, it will be interesting to se what the roster says. From what I have seen the Opening is usually accurate.

Only thing I can think of is he is like Q, and Zack Martin. They are both so wide that they don't look anywhere near as tall as they are, unless you stand next to them.

 

[Crazy Balki]

In that interview, he says the height really fast that it sounds like 6'1 1/2, but if you listen very closely, he does say 6'4 1/2. Honestly, I think he's probably somewhere around 6'3. Kraemer is about 2 inches taller than Boudreaux and I highly doubt Kraemer is below 6'4.

Short OL that a 5-11 QB can see over?

 

[calvegas04]

I once saw him walking around campus before a game and could have sworn he was about 7'2 guy is going to be a legend

 

[dshans]

Are we/he there yet???

 

[Domina Nostra]

More like 4'9", not kidding. He's strong but he was the shortest kid in his high school class.

Harry also passed on Bockhorst (sp?) out of Ohio who has a ton of offers and is committed to Clemson. Some thought we would have been hard to beat.

So thanks bogs for your reading comprehension.

Overall who the fuck cares how tall P$ is when Harry H has given him the once over and said come up north.

 

[GreyWorm]

Boudreaux is right around 6'2. Hiestand and the ND staff got eyes on him more than enough times before he committed and magically still wanted him despite not being 6'4/6'5 or whatever he was listed at.

If you remember, Rivals and ISD made a big deal out of The Opening card having his height scratched out last summer when he turned it in.

If you want to complain or debate about height...then you should about Dillan Gibbons being 6'6.

Just consider me the eyes in the back of your head kimosloppy! I have you back in an optical, comprehension sort of way.

Over/under on PMoney's actual ND Roster height? 6'4"? Anyone who is wrong submits for voluntary castration?

I mean this is such a big thing, let's put some skin on it!

Horrible post? I think not!

Color me jealous.

Wow WTF

Prayers to the big man

Get well Parker, you have the support of Irish Envy!

 

[texbender]

Thoughts and prayers are with the kid and family. Life is so fragile.

 

[Graybeard52]

I saw this on Facebook, a screen capture of a post by John Shannon there. I was like, "Is this real??"

I looked up Shannon's FB page and evidently it is. Damn. Prayers to Parker, his family, friends, teammates and loved ones.

This is shocking!! Get well P-Money

 

[Graybeard52]

I don't want to sound like that guy that "Knows someone who knows someone" but I just talked with an alum who lives in Granger that knows Parker's mother and he says it's true. Evidently he's in Memorial rather than St. Joe hospital because it was closer.

He was on his way to The Grotto and asked me if I wanted to go but I can't get away right now. I told him to light a candle for me.

I just saw this. Good news if true.

Probably good intentions by Daly but there are privacy laws in this country.

And speed limits, seat belt laws, no rolling stops at an intersection, slander/libel laws, harassment laws, etc

I mean people make mistakes.

The demeanor and intent is what is harmful.

And in this case, it was with the best intentions. So sue his ass.

That's my vote.

Spoken like a true Texan.

Hope the news is true that Parker is better than thought, and on way to recovery.

So pretty much exactly what I said.
