'10 IL QB Tommy Rees (Notre Dame Man)

[chyrspchuck]

If Jimmy leaves, we gotta pray he is gonna be good.

I don't think he would start over Crist if Jimmy left. I love this kid though, he has a huge upside.

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

I still think that Hendrix is the better QB, but Rees isn't a pushover and if he gets to play he should perform well.

What he said.

I still think that Hendrix is the better QB, but Rees isn't a pushover and if he gets to play he should perform well.

And what he said.

Rees was in a spread passing attack the majority of the season. He stays in the shotgun and they sling it on just about every down. 300 yard passing nights and 40-50 passing attempts were not out of the ordinary.

He'll need a redshirt season to bulk up and learn learn learn.

Rees is on nobody's radar - he comitted to ND... no respect. He could have Peyton Manning games and they'd treat him like the redheaded step child - THIS YEAR - he's a red shirt next, however his numbers are demand more accolades - well, he get's them here. He's a better QB than anyone will admit until 2013 - 2014.

Per ESPN.com & ISD:

Rees could early enroll, but has not made that decision.

That. Would. Be. A. HUGE help. Allow us to take on another DL or Olinemen.

 

[Irish.Ca]

I wondered if one of our QB recruits would come early after Dayne's news. It would make sense and one of them may feel like they're getting a leg up on the other which is a good possibility. Never crossed my mind about the added benefit of them being counted as a recuirt from the '09 class. Great opportunity for them and the '10 class being able to take another player considering who we're courting or maybe the sleeper who's been admiring from afar.

 

[IrishAddiction]

God, please yes. Enroll early sir. Though that would only give him 2 years PT as a starter(hypothetically) if dane stays the full amount of time.

 

[BCSorBust]

That would be awesome too if Rees is good enough then Hendrix redshirts and can still have a year of eligibility after Rees graduates. Maybe he would actually stay instead of transferring like it always seems one QB does when two are recruited in the same year (I know this is still probably going to happen).

This is news though because Mike Frank said on his power hour at the beginning of the week that there was no chance that either qbs were going to enroll early.

 

[PADOMERNUT]

God, please yes. Enroll early sir. Though that would only give him 2 years PT as a starter(hypothetically) if dane stays the full amount of time.

Cant you still redshirt even if you enroll early?

 

[JefMaj]

Everything I read was that he has decided that would enroll early - This could give the staff a Spring to work on some possible wrinkles in the wildcat as well as play with some straight out option plays.

 

[Irish.Ca]

The Power Hour show was before Dayne's announcement was made and I don't think that our recruits would have really thought long on the subject until they knew he was out. Now it makes for a great opportunity. I wouldn't be surprised if they both come early now just to stay on equal footing.

 

[JefMaj]

I'm coming early... at least that's what she said.

 

[ndfi78]

lol

 

[WabashFalcon]

I'm coming early... at least that's what she said.

Your hand talks?





Te he.

 

[JefMaj]

Not only that - speaks 2 languages - I'm handbidextrous.

 

[GO IRISH!!!]

Just saw Rees is trying to graduate early to enroll and participate in Spring Ball. Good move. Crist injured. Jimmy possibly going to the NFL. I would cram and get myself on campus as fast as possible too.

 

[Polish Leppy 22]

good for him

"Right now I'm still committed there and I plan on going there regardless," said Rees, who threw for 2,625 yards and 24 touchdowns in nine games this season. "Obviously, nothing has happened yet and I'm not going to look into the future.

"We'll see what happens after the Stanford game, and I'll take it from there. My plan is to go to Notre Dame. Obviously, the system would have to work, but like I said, nothing has been done so I'm not really reading too much into it yet."

After being considered a bit of a sleeper, Tommy Rees (Lake Forest / Ill.) proved this season that he was is of best pure passers in the region. The ball comes out of his hand with great spin and velocity and I think he could be a future starter at Notre Dame.
Move: Position (#64 QB to #49)

 

[DoverShores]

I really hope he signs

 

[Big23Head]

Enrolling early.

 

[JefMaj]

Great move... Kelly has done well with QB's. Wonder if Hendrix will hold tight with ND.

College football: Local ND recruits Lombard, Rees say they're still going to South Bend; Prater contacted by Kelly but sticks with USC -- chicagotribune.com

By Mike Helfgot Special to the Tribune

The coaching change at Notre Dame has not changed the minds of Tommy Rees and Christian Lombard.

Rees, a quarterback from Lake Forest High, and Lombard, a Fremd offensive lineman, have re-affirmed their oral commitments to new Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly.

Both Rees and Lombard committed to Notre Dame long before Kelly replaced Charlie Weis on Dec. 11. Oral commitments are not binding and do not become official until recruits sign letters of intent Feb. 3.

...

Rees, who threw for 2,695 yards and 24 touchdowns this season, might benefit from the coaching change. The other quarterback to commit to Weis, Andrew Hendrix of Moeller High in Cincinnati, expressed disappointment in Weis' firing and has yet to affirm his plans to attend Notre Dame.

Lake Forest coach Chuck Spagnoli said Rees spoke with Kelly on Sunday.

"His intentions have not changed," Spagnoli said. "Coach Kelly is supposed to come in some time this week and see him."

Scouts' Rees sticking with Irish :: FOOTBALL :: YourSeason

by Darrin Day

Rees is quite pleased with Notre Dame’s pick of Cincinnati coach Brian Kelly to replace Weis.
“I got a chance to talk to Coach Kelly last weekend and I was impressed,” said Rees. “I’m going to talk to him again soon.
“Notre Dame has so much tradition, more than anyplace else, that it really didn’t matter to me who was the coach. I want to play for Notre Dame, whether it was for Coach Weis or Coach Kelly.”

 

[NDinL.A.]

Per ISD, he will be an EE...

 

[jjsccer2]

Looks like this kid could be a solid contributor. Never hurts to have competition especially when we have one upperclassman qb. Does anybody know where you can watch his highlight tape?

Looks like he can make some throws and runs out of the shotgun. Can't wait to see him in person.
