'25 GA WR Jerome Bettis Jr. (Notre Dame Signee)

[Jimmy3Putt]

Gosh, I miss those teams.


I remember him doing it in the end zone immediately after scoring, like, all the time.

I did A LOT of drugs in the 90's tho....

 

[Rocketman84]

I don’t think he did it all the time. But I have a memory of him doing it as well. I’m thinking a bowl game. Maybe the cotton bowl against a&m

1993 Cotton Bowl vs TAMU

1993 Cotton Bowl vs TAMU

Back when men were men and top 10 draft picks played in "meaningless" bowl games.

ND takes way too many “son of” players. Remember when bon jovis kid was randomly on the team?

Hey did Chris Zorich ever have a kid that played? I'd add him along with Bus Jr.

 

[LifelongFan]

Yeah give me some "son of" guys. Pedigree matters. Not just for athletic gifts but they also grew up with a role model who taught them what it takes to succeed at the sport. The Notre Dame connection is nice but this staff knows this which is why we've got multiple legacy guys in the pipeline.

Joe Burrow, Christian McCaffrey, DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr, Asante Samuel Jr, Patrick Surtain II, Antoine Winfield Jr, every sport has a huge amount of legacy guys who succeed every year for a reason.

Who would you rather have? Bus Jr or Wes Pritchett's kid?

Maybe he’s just a late bloomer. Put some good weight on him and he becomes Bus #2. Wouldn’t be the first position change that worked.

Genes!!!!! Who knows!!!!!

All of those with the exception of a very undersized Winfield were 4* and 5* recruits. Winfield ended up putting on 14lbs and grew an inch and had a huge AA SR season, which parlayed into a 2nd Rd Draft pick.

Which postion? Safety? He's close to 6'3 so the backfield is not an option

 

[Rocketman84]

Lawson or Marshall? Marshall is a stud, have yet to see much of Lawson so far.

 

[MacIrish75]

It’s Jerome Bettis’s kid you dumbasses. It’s not Anthony Vernaglia or Dwight Ellick’s kid. And he’s a solid 3star who’s got the genes.

You don’t tell Bettis’s kid no OR that he can pay his own way lol.

No one will disparage the name of our only 4 star in 2004 in my presence.

 

[notredomer23]

If it was Junior Jabbie's kid, the NIL brinks truck would have to back up for him

The biggest son of a NFL failure was the the 1 Star Bruce Heggie...maybe his son will get his grandfathers genes

I remember 19-year-old Colin having a near panic attack when Anthony was flirting with other schools because *one four-star recruit* was *the only thing* to be optimistic about.

Young ND fans who think this program is underwhelming don't understand how danger deep in the mud we were under Ty.

When Nicco Fertitta's kid early enrolls, he'll literally show up in a Brinks truck, no italics.

Did we not do the same thing with Joe Montana’s kid?

 

[Ndaccountant]

I'm still upset that Cedric Figaro's nephew spurned ND.

I remember this with Montana's kid....As long as we lock up 2-3 SOLID 4* minimum guys then bring on Bettis.

Pot of gold “surprise” tomorrow?

 

[BobbyMac]

Pot of gold “surprise” tomorrow?

If he commits tomorrow 2/3's of ND fans will say we should've left him in the Pot of Hold until every better WR prospect plays out.

 

[KPENN]

I have a hard time believing this is the surprise… unless he’s choosing somewhere else

 

[Irishnuke]

They wouldn't be wrong

 

[Irish du Nord]

Nah I’m happy with JBj. Keep working man

 

[Rocketman84]

Which would be VERY true because unlike other schools competing for 'Chips if the legacy recruit isn't ELITE then either they wait or the school is already stockpiled with 4*/5* talent! Just look at Ohio St, 'Bama, Georgia, or even LSU's WR depth charts.

 

[BobbyMac]

They wouldn't be wrong

I don't disagree but it is what it is.

If he wasn't Bus Jr and they passed on guaranteed commit Cooper Perry, I'd have gone full 2017 WTF meltdown.

 

[Henges24]

Bozos. All of y’all. Come on down JBJ

Maybe Marcus wants to use Kirby's formula of signing a 3* GA WR to win a natty?

Ahh, yes. I forgot the two teams in the championship last year were stockpiled with 5 star talent.
