'08 IL LB Steve Filer (Signed LOI to ND)

[jiggafini19]

Same guy had Robert Hughes pegged as Irish since day one as well.

So he's 50-50.

That depends on who you listen to. I'm not implying the guy is wrong, in fact, I hope he is right, but unless you know the guy and know for a fact that he spoke to someone, then all you can do is say it is a rumor until it hopefully becomes fact. One thing for sure about the guy is that he is in the middle of what is going on in Chicago so you have to at least listen to what he says because whether his predictions are right or wrong, he does provide valuable information.

I certainly hope the rumor is true and that he is heavily leaning towards the Irish right now. I am very pleased with Weis's policy (if in fact the rumor is true) and would rather him wait until he's fully committed so we don't get our hopes up now only to be potentially let down later.

Here's to hoping Filer will be Irish in the very near future. Thanks IUB for providing the info.

ESPN finally reviewed some of Filer's tape and gave him a 77, a f***ing 77. No doubt the cockwad played some role in this. Hopefully they will boost his ranking once they see more film of him. A f***ing 77.

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

ESPN knows that he may be leaning Irish. Did you notice how Clausen dropped after he verbaled? I'll take Charlie and Corwin's analysis over ESPN anyday. If ND offered, they're good enough.

 

[SillyIrish]

Who cares what the players are rated, but on the other hand ESPN had Kerry Neal rated the highest than any other site.

 

[FleaFlicker]

I'm sure Filer will be bumped up once more evalutation is done. The list is by no means set in stone at this point. A lot of people haven't even been looked at yet (on ESPN)

 

[IrishDon103]

I would give filer an even 80.

So long as the number attached to his GPA is good enough to get into Notre Dame, I don't care about any other numbers...

 

[rockne19]

i think we land filer

 

[stonebreakerwasgod]

9,000 + views of this thread. Anyone think we need LB like Filer??

 

[rockne19]

we need4-5 lbs this tear.

 

[Irishknight1023]

He's well hyped but no one really has seen him play and rivals only shows some not so great clips, im still not sold on him favoring us in any way.

 

[knute]

Filer was Charlie Weis' first offer for 2008. He's a good player and would make a definite impact at ND.

According to Mike Frank on the Power Hour, Steve Filer will be on campus this Friday, which means he will be on campus the same time as McDonald & Crist.

dont forget me, i will be on campus. I will silent verbal right as i get offered jk but any chance any of them commit. I know you already told me about mcdonald but any chance with crist and filer

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

Filer will hopefully be a major cog in this recruiting class. I think we land him and hopefully get the Defense rolling because our Offense will always be there. Go Irish!

 

[Irishknight1023]

Has a top 3 of Notre Dame, Mich, OSU.

 

[goldenlid]

Is he ILB or OLB?

 

[mat33]

Ilb

 

[Katzenboyer]

Rivals says he'll be at OSU's spring game this weekend.

 

[GoshenGipper]

Rivals says he'll be at OSU's spring game this weekend.

Yes, he will. His reasoning behind it ist that he's already been to ND so many times he just wants to check out all his options.

Star ratings on profile updated

 

[wheeler418]

It is not surprising that he is a 4-star. I hope he hates his OSU visit.

 

[BestBIrish47]

if he come back wearing a sweater vest we could be in trouble.....or with guns in his car... those are both tell tale signs of OSUing somebody!

I suspect that tOSU would go after Hale, Zordich and Sweat more than they would go after Filer. That's just my gut feeling though.

 

[IrishCalves]

I thought OSU had 1-2 slots available for LB. So yeah, Filer seems like he's a plan B recruit for them.

If that's the truth, I don't see why they would be interested in Filer. They already have Devoe Torrence (although he might play RB at OSU), and Hale has always been pretty high on OSU.
