Just picked up an Ohio St offer too.

IE?

 

[BobbyMac]

IE?

That's his nickname.

He's originally from Pearl Harbor Hawaii. So he was in 7th grade when Manti was running the show. Nice.

No wonder we are always under the 85 man limit. Why are we giving this one kid four scholarships?

 

[BobbyMac]

Updated OP.

IE opened as the #2 OLB, #2 overall LB & #25 OA on the initial Rivals100

Added Michigan, OSU and Washington offers in the past 2 weeks.

Can't wait for the first game that Hammond fills in for an NBC announcer...."Tackle by....Goatboy!"

POTY nominee!

ND was in to see Palaie yesterday, but usc also offered yesterday.

 

[BobbyMac]

#1 overall LB, #11 overall. Top rated 4 star on Scout.

How are you #11 overall and not a 5 star? Rhetorical.

 

[zelezo vlk]

Gatorade?

 

[woolybug25]

Hawaiian kid playing at Gorman?

Like.

 

[NDVirginia19]

Any idea which way this guy leans?

Any idea which way this guy leans?

He has 3 CB predictions all to OSU. Including some fairy named Loy.

 

[calvegas04]

Is he committed to usc? His twitter has a re tweet from scout showing he is committed.

Flavor of the moment. Once the '17 guys leave for Columbus including ex teammate Tyjon Lindsey, the next class is wide open and leaning towards Michigan and UCLA more at the moment. Each class seems to pick a new flavor, maybe ND is back in the rotation next year.

No, still a free agent.

 

[Booslum31]

"Holy vowels Batman" WANT!

 

[Crazy Balki]

Man, BG has not been treating us kindly lately. What happened to our pipeline?

 

[IrishLion]

Wait... this guy goes by "IE" for real?

This has gotta be the epitome of "Must Get" for this board. He could be our unofficial namesake for 3+ years.

We need this recruiting victory, collectively, for ourselves.

Who did you want besides Haskell Garrett?

Dare I say it... The Prince That Was Promised?

Absolute RKG, Must-Get, Beast.

Jeebus H.

After just listening to Hammond do the Olympics for a few weeks....this is still applicable.

 

[calvegas04]

would be nice to have him on the team

 

[ndcoltsfan2010]

Would love to get this kid, gotta get him on campus.

This is a must get name. Every time he makes a play and the announcers say "IE on the tackle" or "the ball is picked off by IE" we will all feel like we helped a little.

.......except for "he's stripped by IE" that one will be saved for Koon.

 

[BobbyMac]

Seems the pipeline's terminal has been moved to Columbus.
