Gabe could end up playing TE or DE in college but ND is recruiting him at DE.

He grew up a Sooners fan and OU and Stanford look like they're going to be ND's biggest competition for Gabe. Gabe has said that he'd like to visit ND this summer.

 

[Epitome]

Yesterday he stated ND and Stanford were the leaders for his sevrices. Altough, I think if OU offers they will end up right in the mix.

74 TACKLES

This will be an interesting situation this recruiting season. Is OU in the market for a TE? Does OU take too long and tick off Gabe? Only time will tell...

 

[ALLND62]

I am glad that we have a chance.

 

[IrishGrizz]

I like him at DE- we always can use another DE- plus he is as smart as all get out- just wondering how fast he is.

It would be awesome if he was close to as fast as his GPA

 

[IrishGrizz]

I'd take 4.62

I found this little tidbit about Gabe on YouTube...His section starts at the 1:46 mark.

 

[BDIrish4ever]

OK... that link doesn't work! You can just go to YouTube and search Gabe Ikard. You will get OHSSE Top Football Recruits 2009 #1. His part is at the 1:46 mark.

 

[IrishGrizz]

At least we don't have to fight w u$c and the fla schools for him. Or the Big Ten schools.

I think I got it now. Look for Gabe at 1:46 into the video.

 

[IrishGrizz]

In the small amount of video I saw on him he showed good speed and nice hands , along with some quicks.

 

[Epitome]

Gabe will be taking an Official visit for the Stanford game.

Ikard

This kid is a Notre Damer....a visit to the University will convince him. Look for him in an Irish uniform.

Per ESPN,

Offer from Sooners causes Gabe Ikard to reevaluate his list

Tight end Gabe Ikard was surprised by his newest offer from in-state power Oklahoma. The ESPN 150 Watch List prospect spoke with affiliate Web site OUInsider.com about where he now stands.
"I had pretty much narrowed it down to Stanford and Notre Dame. Really, it was down to Stanford, Notre Dame and OSU. Now you can throw OU in there. Obviously, that doesn?t make my decision any easier."

 

[IrishGrizz]

crappola. Just more work to get him now that HSU is in the mix.. Hope we can leverage the attention we have had for him all the time to thejohnny come lately of ou.

"Stanford, Notre Dame and OSU"

Which one of these is not like the other...

 

[GoldenDomer21]

Count OSU out, this kid is smart. Academics mean a lot to him. So now look at Stanford and ND, which one is not like the other? Thats right, Stanford. With ND's academics and storied football program, this guy is going blue and gold.

 

[irishmarine]

but home schools mean alot to kids who grow up with these teams. i hope hes irish im just saying you cant count him out

 

[GoldenDomer21]

Maybe, but smart kids think outside the box of state school and realize that football may not be their lives career. A good education at a very well respected univ. will probably go a lot further than football. Thats why ND is so great. yeah, we produce NFL players, but we also produce well adjusted, smart, and well rounded business men. I think this guy is mature enough to realize that.

 

[irishmarine]

i hope so, alot of people just go to [play thinking theyre gonna make it. but the education is the most important thing. i would like to see him here

 

[SoCalDomer]

Is likely going to visit for the Michigan game on Sept 13. In order to get this OK kid out of OK, they will need an official visit. ND remains one of his top schools, along with OK and Stanford.

 

[Junkhead]

Do we even want another TE in this class?? Or is he accepting playing DE?

 

[SoCalDomer]

the coaches would want him for DE.

 

[Epitome]

As of right now it looks like he will be in South Bend for the Michigan Game.
