[GO IRISH!!!]

I want this kid just so we can add him to the All-Name team!

 

[NDinL.A.]

New article says that Prince called the offer from ND his 'biggest so far'. Check out his GPA. Has a friend that attends ND already, and he's been in Catholic schools all his life. Even played against Robert Blanton in high school. Doesn't have a great offer sheet so far, with the biggest being prob Virginia Tech. But he is receiving interest from big schools such as LSU, Georgia, and Miami

Ever time I see his name, I think of Eddie Murphy from Comming to America. Don't know why... but I start to giggle.

How good is this kid really? not suer what to make of this offer

I don't know. Good enough to get Corwin's attention. Good enough to get Allen Wallace to write an article on him entitled, "Pass Rusher Supreme".

One problem may be his position, he's listed by the recruiting services as a DE. But if you look at the stories listed in his profile on Scout and Rivals the headlines frequently list his position as "LB". Does he really play DE or is he merely being projected there?

In a 5/14 only two weeks ago, Wiltfong writing about Aramide Olaniyan noted,

Olaniyan Patiently Waits On Irish Always a prospect on ND’s recruiting board, earlier this month, Aramide Olaniyan proved himself to the Irish coaching staff even more. At a Nike Camp in Charlottesville, Va., the 6-2, 201 Olaniyan took home MVP honors over fellow Linebackers Kendall Moore and Prince Shembo, whom both hold ND offers.

Kerry Neal was NOT highly regarded when Weis offered, if I recall correctly.

Shembo's offers show he has limited exposure. There regional except for ND and SU, both academic restricted schools that have to beat the bushes for qualified prospects, and ILL who I think has a coach on their staff from the Carolinas and has extensive connections there.

His exposure isn't going to get much better as he doesn't plan on camping anywhere this summer.

I see

 

[NDinL.A.]

He'll be visiting ND this Friday, the 26th...

 

[BGIF]

Per Lemming in the 7/07/09 South Bend Tribune

Prince Shembo is leaning to ND

"AHA! Allow me to compensate you... let's say... one millions American dollars?"

[Rizzophil]

Is Prince Shembo comparable to Kerry Neal in style of play, body control, quickness, etc.?

Prince Shembo is still working things out, but there are visits on the horizon for the 6-foot-2, 232-pound defensive end from Charlotte, N.C. Shembo plans to get in an unofficial to Virginia Tech before the summer is out and has already been thinking about making an official visit to Notre Dame when it hosts USC. He’s also hitting it off with a couple Irish commits.

Shembo's apparently added 7 pounds since his season ended.

Rated a 4 Star on latest Rivals evaluations. 16th overall Weakside DE

 

[texas fighting irish]

Do we have a good chance of landing him?

 

[NDinNM]

I think we have a good shot at getting him. I have a feeling that he will sign with us

 

[jason_h537]

ND is in really good shape with Shembo plus he has appeared to have formed a good relationship with Kendall Moore. Tennesse is on this kid hard as well, and it sounhds as if he really enjoyed his visit there so i would not call him a lock.

 

[texas fighting irish]

is there any video on shembo? how good is he?

 

[jason_h537]

Will visit VTech on friday and plans to commit in the next 2 weeks.

Will visit VTech on friday and plans to commit in the next 2 weeks.

Maybe that thing on Beamer's Neck will scare him off.

 

[texas fighting irish]

I really hope we can land Shembo . Hope Moore and Martin are trying to help on this kid.

 

[The Polish Irishman]

Shembo is deciding on Tuesday....Looks good fof the Irish

 

[WabashFalcon]

Bullshit. Lol. What time and where is he announcing brother?

 

[texas fighting irish]

Awesome news from an insider "Mike Frank"

"Prince Shembo: The outside linebacker/defensive end from Charlotte, N.C., will announce his college decision on Tuesday. Shembo will decide between Notre Dame, Virginia Tech, Tennessee and North Carolina. The Irish look like the leader here. Shembo visited the South Bend campus for the first time in late June, staying for three days. He is another Irish recruit with a good relationship with Corwin Brown."
