'10 CA QB Nick Montana (Washington Commit)

[chyrspchuck]

it was only a matter of time.

 

[Clausen2Kamara]

This spices things up a bit...

 

[WabashFalcon]

QB screen in the near future... Montana to Montana... all we need is a North Dakota and a Texas and we are well on our way to creating a pipeline to the team with state-based named people.

 

[irishmarine]

i dont see him sitting behind hias brother. he (i feel) is gonna make his own name somewhere else.

Just picked up an offer from Alabama. The recruiting has really picked up for this kid, and he wants to make a committment sooner rather than later. Here's the link:

Alabama enters the chase for Joe Montana's quarterbacking son - The Bama Beat - al.com

There's also a scout.com premium article basically saying the same thing:

Scout.com: Montana Staying Busy

 

[Clausen2Kamara]

Yeah, this kid is gone soon. I think its us or OSU. I think he's leaning to OSU especially due to the fact local schools aren't offering. Not to mention he is OSU's #1 target and he is the only QB they offered. I couldn't say the same about us.

 

[irishmarine]

who knows. im am lost on this one

 

[chyrspchuck]

I say let Nick and Heaps fight it out on the practice field. We need to build that kind of depth. I don't see it happening but it would be sweet.

 

[irishmarine]

so would winning the lotto, which are about the same chances of this happening. but hey it could happen and i would be happy

 

[Ricochet]

Nick is the real deal but playing in the shadow of his legendary father would be extremely tough and it's something Peyton Manning didn't even take on and while Archie was very good he wasn't the legend that Joe was.

The pressure of that is something that shouldn't be taken lightly and I would understand as well as respect that decision as long as he doesn't end up at USC, UM or Florida.

But I hope he's willing to take on the challenge because I think he's a heck of a talent and the fact that he is a legacy and it would hurt to see Joe's kid become a stud elsewhere.

 

[Clausen2Kamara]

Yeah, I think he'd truly get a fair shake here to say the least. He will need to sit for 2 years but he wouldn't be the only talented signal caller to do so. Crist came in knowing he would most likely sit for 2 years...He relished the oppurtunity to come in and compete and put on the blue and gold.

I think he's a near lock to OSU. We have an offer out to him...but honestly, I am not sure I would want to build a team around him. It's honestly not too clear exactly how good he is. He seems pretty good...but it's tough to tell.

I can't imagine being him at ND though. That would be a long shadow to get out from under.

I would definitely want to build a team around this kid. He has offers from some big schools. From what i have read he supposed to be really good just a little light but he is still young.

I would love to seem him come to ND. At the same time I think we should go after two QB's this year. I would hate to see him go to another school and possibly kick our but in the future.

 

[wicket]

i still think that the communication between papa joe and nd is good enough for nd only to offer when it is useful

 

[JeremyND07]

If he does not go to Notre Dame I would not mind seeing him at Standford! A Montana at USC makes me sick though!

Peyton went to UT b/c Ole Miss was about to start 2 years of probation and he would have gotten zero exposure.

Joe is the one who screwed this up. What was he thinking?!? Having two sons that close together?!?

 

[IrishInFl]

Kinda like how Tiki and Ronde Barber's parents screwed up when they both went to UVA? Nick hasn't signed with anyone yet, and how is it Joe's decision in the end? Nate went to ND because he wanted to. Similarly, Jake and Mike Golic Jr. came to ND because they wanted to, not because his father and uncle went to ND. Plus, I'm confused as to why Joe "screwed this up". Nick will be attending the Blue-Gold game, so we have a decent chance at getting Nick. Family ties run deep in ND family's, which is why we have a decent shot at other prospects like Barr and Prater.

swing and a miss

This article from ESPN talks about Nick's recruitment:

College Football Recruiting On the Trail 2010 - ESPN

He's still "wide-open". Looking at all options, but would like to commit as soon as possible. One quote I found interesting is that he said he won't hesitate to commit if he finds the right fit. He's already visited Texas and Ohio St., and to me it means that those weren't the perfect fits. A lot of people had OSU as his favorite, which makes his quote that much more interesting...

I thought not being in with his brother (older) who had just gotten sick was also a huge factor

 

[MirageSmack]

Okay guys that was kind of a joke about having sons too close together. I guess I forgot my smiley etiquette, but didn't think it was needed there.

Why is ND not listed in this article? ESPN is the dumbest shit ever.

 

[Rslatz01]

I heard that N. Montana was headed to OSU.

I heard that N. Montana was headed to OSU.

I heard that I was hung like a horse. Doesn't mean it is true.

 

[Legacy]

I heard Te'o was going to USC.

 

[Irishlew]

I heard Te'o was going to USC.

WHAT???

My sources say he's all UCLA.

 

[NDinL.A.]

A new interview with Montana w/ the Atlanta Constitutional Journal. Talks about his visits to Bama and Georgia.

QB Nick Montana talks about UGA, Alabama, Southern Cal and Tennessee | Inside College Recruiting: Michael Carvell

Funny, but this kid is Joe Montana's freaking son, but the author asks about USC and Tennesee, BOTH OF WHOM HAVEN'T EVEN OFFERED HIM YET! And yet, no mention of ND??? Did the Atlanta Constitutional Journal merge w/ ESPN and not tell anybody?

 

[OCIrish]

Or....maybe it's the fact that he's Joe's son, so it's assumed that ND is and always will be a factor in his recruiting. Most people aren't interested in hearing him talk ND b/c Joe is a legend here, most people want to hear what his thoughts are on other schools. I'm more interested in what he says about other schools, since he's been exposed to ND plenty.

 

[ant80]

Montana to tOSU seems unlikely now. OSU doesn't offer more than one QB at a time, and we just offered Godfrey from Florida. Good luck with him.
