Good pick-up at a position of need. Davon Carrington is he close to pulling the trigger for us as well?

this is technically true, but that verbal is softer than a pillow. He verballed just in case they didnt have a spot for him. I read he still intends to visit ND

WTF? Stepped out to get some groceries and I come home to this?!!!

YEAHHHHHHH BOOOYYYYYYYY!

Number 9! Nice because the kid is a hitter, and is already being compared to Zibby (prob b/c they're both of fair skin lol; but let's hope he can cover the deep ball better), AND his pops and brother (I think, gotta check on that) graduated from Stanford.

Another shining example of the power of a ND visit. Get 'em on that beautiful campus, and anything can happen. Welcome aboard Chris!!!!

Think Zibby was a bit more athletic. Not an Irish alum, but he reminds me of Eric Weddle. Not the best athlete in the world, but was one of the smartest players on the field, and would never get beat

Wow, kid can hit. No wonder Tenuta loves this guy. Looks like a good fit for the Nickelback. I love how our defense is recruiting players that are perfect against the spread

I am predicting him as another kyle McCarthey.
Just super solid. I think they have pretty close to
the same numbers coming out of high school. I
think this is a great pickup.


Go Irish

That's kinda what I thought too. McCarthy > Zibby, punt returns aside.

Easy, I love McCarthy but Zibby was a playmaking badass....I know he got beat deep some, but a lot of times it was when our whole defense had their heads up their ass....If he is anything like McCarthy or Zibby I will be very happy.
Welcome aboard!! Lets keep this going, i love getting emails from Scout saying we got another one.

Wait, he got beat SOME??? LOL. C'mon brother, I respect the hell out of Zibby and I have no qualms whatsoever with you loving big Z, but the dude got beat deep A TON. ha ha, it's all good dude.

As for Badger, my favorite quote was about him "just wanting to come in and compete for playing time and just play violent". Love it! When have you ever heard a recruit say that???

One more thing: Mike Wiltfong of ISD got a text from Chris Martin, who said something to the effect of being very excited that we "brought another hard-hitter to my defense!" That's right, he said MY defense. Apparently they camped together and know each other. My bromance grows and grows with Mr. Martin and I'm not ashamed to admit it (yeah, we went through a rough patch last week, but we worked it out and are on good terms again...no Jon and Kate thing here)...

Zibby was a boxing badass, a good punt returner, and a model player and student by most accounts. He is also an excellent athlete, and an NFL player. I even bought a #9 Jersey a few years back. That said, there was no drop off from him to McCarthy. Kyle is one of the best tacklers on the team. Zibby would too often go for the huge hit, only to have the other player spin off and keep going while he ate dirt. I attribute much of his weakness to the scheme. Minters pass defense was pathetic, and later on Zibby felt he had to cheat up to shore up the run defense.

Don't get me wrong I like the pick up as I think he's a good fit for the program but he's nowhere near as athletic or as fast as Zibby. Btw, he's Mormon and there is more than a decent chance he goes on mission for a couple years. He's not an impact player that going to see PT as a freshman so he will more or less be RS and then go on mission with him returning for 2013 season.

Yeah he did, but that has more to do with his playing style. He liked to take risks and go for the big play. I love Zibby and his style, guy was a playmaker, but he was not on a team who could cover his mistakes. Zibby would be better suited on todays Irish team than the 05-06 teams. There's a reason Baltimore wanted Zibby so bad, guy was a football player. So is Chris Badgger. This kid may not have the measurables, but guy is someone who will contribute. Could be the sleeper of the class
