'08 MI RB Jonas Gray (Signed LOI to ND)

[Stumper67]

Guys... During the Army All-American Bowl week, some rumors came out about Gray possibly visiting Ohio State...

These rumors turned ouit to be entirely false.

Opposing teams start rumors like this on purpose. They absolutely do it with the intention of making us freak out and making ND look like we have crazed fans or something... Don't buy into it.

I repeat, these rumors get started by other programs all the time. On purpose. Don't believe them.

i'm going to sleep like a baby tonight

 

[Stumper67]

These rumors have already been dismissed... ESPN's recruiting editor actually made a statement that the rumors were unsubstantiated and they apolgize for posting them.

 

[tko]

that's so kind of espn to do

WOW ESPN apologizing to Notre Dame. Never thought I would see the day.

 

[tko]

[Sweeney6083]

What I just shit my pants is that trus Mark May said Sorry.

Lou, please tell us why you are working for this group of bast@#ds!

 

[greenandblue]

according to rivals he sent in his LOI, apparently he's ours

I just read this from you. That is one of the best jokes I have read on here.

 

[eNDzone]

Wood is No. 1 at ND, but Gray could push - College football- NBC Sports

Sounds alot better for our RB depth.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Push Jonas keep pushing

 

[NDPhilly]

Wood is at 218? Holy ****!!!

 

[IrishLax]

If Jonas can get north-south and stay healthy this season we are going to be sick running the ball. Cierre + Jonas = as good of a 1-2 punch as any RBs in college football except maybe Oregon. Just have to STAY HEALTHY.

 

[NDPhilly]

As a recruit Wood weighed 190 pds. If he truly did put on 30 pds and not lose a step that is amazing

 

[Kingbish01]

This is going to be a great year for our RB's. I think Cierre and Jonas can out produce Montee Ball and James White.

I think its more Wisconsin's outstanding O-Line more than anything that allows all of their running backs apear to be stars.

 

[Kingbish01]

Ya, I agree with that. But to have over 2,000 yds and 32 tds between them they are making plays on their own. I think Cierre could have 1200+ and Jonas should have 600+

Michael Dyer & Onterio McCalebb say hello!

Combined: 1,903 yards (6.8 YPC) and 14 rushing touchdowns in 2010.

Edwin Baker & LeVeon Bell also say hello!

Combined: 1,806 yards (5.75 YPC) and 21 rushing touchdowns in 2010.

Baker and Bell ran for 204 yards (6.58 YPC) and 2 scores against us last year.

I love Cierre Wood, but Jonas Gray has a lot to prove before we even sniff being one of the top 30 1-2 punches in the country. Gray hasn't even scored a touchdown in a Notre Dame uniform in his 3 years.

 

[Rocket89]

And I forgot about the Wisky duo!

You forgot Cyrus Gray and Christine Michael (had 700 yds and missed the last 5 games) at Texas A&M

 

[IrishLax]

MSU duo = overrated.

Dyer = good call.

 

[Rocket89]

Yes, there's many more potent and proven duo's.

Kinda my point.

 

[Kingbish01]

MSU duo = overrated.

Dyer = good call.

Baker had like 10 yds rushing in the bowl blowout to Bama....

Methinks that you've been sipping on the green kool-aid a bit with that statement. Rocket already said some of the teams with much better RB combinations, but the truth is, Gray has done absolutely nothing aside from fumbling and missing key blocks in his three years at Notre Dame (although i did love his spurt against Utah last year), and as much as I love Cierre and think he will break out, he's got to prove it this year (and also hold onto the ball).

Because of Jonas being such a question mark and inall honesty a disappointment so far, I'd have to say that there are probably 20 programs with a better tandem of RBs. And I'd love nothing more than to be proven completely wrong by our RBs play this year...

Truth be told my boss was late this morning and I watched player/coach interviews all morning... and a couple ND hype videos. My judgement isn't clouded at all.

 

[Kingbish01]

I know this is the Jonas thread, but I say Cierre goes bonkers this year. I MEAN BONKERS! 20 carries a game, 6+ yd average and he changes his last name to "get some"

It happens to the best of us.
