Just offered yesterday. FSU and South Carolina lead right now, but he says he was an ND fan growing up, so that helps us. Late offer because ND was waiting on his transcripts. Has been in contact w/ Corwin Brown on a weekly basis. Called this offer 'big'...

 

[Clausen2Kamara]

Sounds good bro...Looks to have good size....Our LB depth is crazy right now...I really think Poz or A-Mac are gonna transfer...

 

[NDinL.A.]

Good news on him. He announced a top 4, in order:

ND
FSU
LSU
NC State

 

[The Polish Irishman]

Nice, I know he has concerns about the weather.

Sweet! Def looks like a player...

I thought I read somewhere that he was a lifelong Irish fan.

I thought I read somewhere that he was a lifelong Irish fan.

I didn't get that impression from a writeup by Shurburtt, ESPN, when he was offered.

It was definitely big to get that offer. My parents are real high on them and they want me to check them out. I am not that familiar with ND, but I am going to go up there and check them out. I know they have a real rich history and a lot of good football has been played there. I also saw the movie "Rudy." I want to get to know more about a lot of the things they do at ND.

A couple of weeks ago Steve Hare, IrishIllustrated noted:

Moore likes what he hearsIt's hard to believe, but if LB Kendall Moore signs with ND in February, some credit might go to NFL star Julius Peppers. A coaching connection on the Irish staff to North Carolina has Moore intrigued. Moore idolizes the Carolina Panthers pass rusher and recently learned ND assistant Jon Tenuta coached the All-Pro in college. Combine that with Corwin Brown’s work and the Irish are in strong shape.

The big draw for him is Tenuta. If the defense plays lights out this year, we might steal a few more recruits thanks to him.

The big draw for him is Tenuta. If the defense plays lights out this year, we might steal a few more recruits thanks to him.

The defense should be aggressive this year both from a talent and play calling perspective. If ND produces consistent first possession TDs the other teams are going to be forced to play catch up. IF ND owns the first Q, there are going to lots of opportunites for the defense to shine. Think ND's '05 offense with the '02 defense.

I didnt realize how ballin this guy is. I think if he takes an official he will be ours

 

[NDinL.A.]

Chris Martin said that he's been recruiting and talking to Kendall a lot, more than any other recruit...

 

[jason_h537]

he needs to be talking to Anthony Barr.

 

[tko]

he needs to be talking to Anthony Barr.

you mean he needs to be talking to both of them.

 

[NDinL.A.]

he needs to be talking to Anthony Barr.

He's talking to whoever talks to him. It just so happens that he and Kendall get along really well and talk the most. If Barr doesn't recriprocate (and who knows if he does or doesn't), what's he to do? I too hope that Martin does, but Barr's in good hands with Polian...

 

[jason_h537]

True, but damn i want Anthony Barr at Notre Dame. That kid is a beast.

 

[IrishAddiction]

Wow, i have really havent been keeping up on recruiting lately, kind of upset with myself. Kendall looks like one hell of an athlete and football player, hope we land this kid and Fortt.

Plans to be on campus June 26th, as well as hit the USC Camp and Tennessee

Camper?

ND has a camp 6/28 - 7/1. Will he be a camper or is this a pre camp visit?

I have seen the camp on the 26th...we have A LOT of recruits coming that day too.

From UND.com Football Camps

Session I, June 14-17 (7th-12th grade): boarder $410/nonboarder $350 Session II, June 28-July 1 (9th-12th grade): boarder $410/nonboarder $350


The 26th is Friday while the 28th is Sunday so he could be coming in early for camp or he could just be making a visit and not camping.

I'd imagine ND would encourage 2010 prospects to come in for the weekend to see the campus, meet with Admissions or professors, etc, in a less hectic period than during camp days.

 

[jason_h537]

I think he is just coming for the day but i could be wrong. ND is trying to make it a big recruiting day, they are also expecting Jerrell Priester that day but those are the only two that i have heard

 

[WabashFalcon]

Waybe he wants to get on campus so he has the WiFi available to read any number of books online in a single technological package....



(Think about it.... think about it....)

Thinking ... thinking ... NOT processing.


Would he be talking advantage of the onsite "schematic advantage"?

OK. Look dude. That girl in the ad? She rejected me. Something about not liking things with furry legs and big things. Weird.

[BGIF]

Thorough review. I though we'd have trouble getting LBs after the 8 taken the past 2 years. Based on Drisikell's analysis Moore sounds like he be a solid addition to the LB corps.
