My question is this-

Would anyone want him is his last name wasn't Tate? He barely has has a Scout or Rivals page. I am not saying that means anything because many have flown below the radar but at a possition which isn't a need. I would much rather hold onto the scholarship and use it for a possition of need next year than to use it on a player who is fast but might not pan out at a possition where we either have (at RB where he is listed on Scout) Aldridge, Hughes, Allen, Gray, Ridick, and Wood, or at WR we were are stacked with plenty of young depth (Floyd, Kamara, Tate, Paris, Evans, Walker, Goodman)

Just my two cents but I have no problem saving it for a possition of need next year.

Where as the other questionable (as some see it, not me) scholarship offers of special teams possitions, he would be at a possition we have plenty, where as we don't have the others.

it's sad, and i wish nd could give offers to everyone's brother, including mine and the deer up top.......but they just can't, and why waste it on a kid just because his name is tate, when we could get another guy like a byron moore, a shaq evans, etc., etc.....

Not to be an ass, but if you can offer the Golics, I'm pretty sure you can offer Wesley Tate also. I may be wrong but I thought I heard that his recruitment was pretty quiet because he didn't go to many camps. Maybe he thought his speed and stats would get him the high offers or something, but considering how well Golden has turned out I'm surprised Wesley hasn't gotten an offer yet.

the golics suck imo....and just because people listen to mike and mike, doesn't mean they should be at nd.....but i guess thats the difference between being a legacy, montana, golic, smith......and being the brother of a current player.

Seems as if Wesley's top 3 choices are Purude, Georgia Tech, and Vanderbilt. Clearly not the top notch schools, but not bad when considering that Golden's choices after ND were Bama, South Carolina, and Vandy. Maybe these two were just both underrated.

ND needs to build hard core competition within its team. With athletes that can hang.

Overcompensate for what? I passed out split second before Hawaii kickoff.

Cleared my schedule a day in advance. Bought me a cold one. Some cracker jacks. Woke up after the game.

Wut? Want summa dis? Wut? Talk to the hooves.....

Sheeeiiitttt. Suummunabitch..

yeah you know the offers from vanderbilt, stanford and purdue just show no one is after this kid and he will go some where else where he'll be the reason we lose on saturday.

Yeah those Golic boys suck all right, I mean hell they only played in the US Army AA game each of the last two years. But you don't have to be good to get invited to those...

i'd offer Wesley. Put us at 19 and soften any blow a defection would bring. At the very least he would/should be a fantastic ST player. A bigger faster Mike Anello if you will.

I know what you're saying, but how do you know for sure? How do you KNOW that Tate will be a stud? NOBODY KNOWS for sure. 5 stars can turn out like Mike Floyd (superstar for us), or like Sam Baker (hasn't panned out yet). Patrick Turner was supposed to be all-world coming out of h.s. for USC, but he's turned out to be decent at best. And yet you got guys like Joe Flacco who went to Delaware freakin State who are balling in The League. Recruiting many times is hit or miss.

So my point is, who really knows? We can't say for sure. We CAN say, "I really want that guy or this guy," but we don't know for sure. If we don't sign Tate, and he comes back to haunt us, then you're right, taht'll suck. But I'll take the word of Weis, Haywood, Tenuta and the fellas over my unprofessional eye...

Harding is weak. He is literally a man against boys over there.

That said, he was impressive in the under armour game this past weekend.
