'10 OH QB Andrew Hendrix (Notre Dame Signee)

[49er-Irish]

Yeah, you pretty much lose all credibility for pulling for Montana to get playing time. I'm sure he's a great kid, but he's not his dad. He spent last season at a JUCO to get experience, but ended up riding the pine and putting up some awful stats when given the opportunity.

I'd be shocked if Rees wasn't the backup QB to start the season after being an early entry. Hendrix looks like he has the skills and the right head on his shoulders to catch up quick though. I hope ND gets both of them to get some good competition going.

 

[JKhrome1ND]

Ooo... don't know that many on the board will agree with you on that one. He is certainly a likable kid, but his skills are sorely lacking.

Im not saying he's going to be the future of ND, im sure he's not. But since i love his dad so much, i would like to see his kid Nate do very well, and atleast live up to some of his dad's status. I know its a LONG shot...........but i think if Nate wants to be a star he is going to have to transfer else where to get it, with Crist, Hendrix and Rees on baord. The younger brother Nick Montana is a highly recruited QB this year going to Washington. But its a long shot of a dream, that im sure wont happen.

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

Montana? He's pretty bad. Backup at JUCO.

 

[JKhrome1ND]

Montana? He's pretty bad. Backup at JUCO.

Nate is, but his younger brother that is a senior right now, is actually really good. Nick is going to Washington to play football.

Brady Quinn wasnt a highly recruit either coming out of High School, actually we went to his school to recruit WR/DB Chinedum Ndukwe, and Chine & his father told Coach Willingham about Brday. so you never know how a recruit pan's out.

That is true but would you rather take your chances with a two star Quarterback or a four star one. I understand that some of these smaller recruits do develop into star players but I would rather take my chances with a higher rated player

 

[Freeman Ara]

What's this talk about BQ not being highly recruited out of high school? He was a 4 star and played in the U.S. Army AA game. He had offers from Michigan,Tenn, and OSU among others. He landed at ND because he really wanted to come here and TW some how managed to not fuck it up.

That's a mystery that may NEVER be solved!

Andrew Hendrix from Moeller High School (Cincinnati, Ohio) is one of two quarterbacks committed to Notre Dame’s 2010 recruiting class, but over the past several weeks there were questions about how solid Hendrix was with his commitment. Today, you mark him down as solid.

Awesome news!! With Kelly's development of his Cinci qb's I can't wait to see what he does w/ the caliber of QB's he can recruit to ND.

South Bend Tribune: Notre Dame football: Crist doing his part to woo QB recruit Hendrix

1/2/10

Eric Hansen

...
A couple of days after Hendrix was quoted as being close to 99 percent certain that he'd honor his verbal commitment to Notre Dame, doubts still stir inside the 6-foot-3, 220-pound four-star prospect.

“He hasn't scheduled any other visits,” Moeller coach John Rodenberg said Saturday via cell phone from Myrtle Beach, S.C., where he was watching Hendrix start under center for the East in a 35-0 loss in the Offense-Defense All-American Bowl.

“My read is that he will end up at Notre Dame. It's just that (head coach) Charlie Weis' firing was disappointing to him. And he had a great relationship with (former QBs coach) Ron Powlus. It was a great fit for him and still probably will be.

“He's tried to call coach Kelly a couple of times and he's missed a couple of calls going the other way. He had a nice visit up there back a couple of weeks ago. But he doesn't know who his position coach is going to be. We're assuming it's going to be Greg Forest (from Cincinnati), but we're not sure.”

Actually, Forest is expected to head to Buffalo with UC offensive coordinator Jeff Quinn, the latter recently named the Bulls' head coach.

“It's not anybody's fault. It's just the way it is,” Rodenberg said of the confusion. “It has been great the way Dayne Crist has reached out to him.”

That's great to see Crist reaching out to someone who is probably his biggest competition. It proves that he is not concerned about competition, but rather he wants ND to get the best players and WIN! I really believe that Crist will be a great team leader for the Irish!

If I remember correctly, Mike Frank kept saying on the Power Hour before last season started that he was concerned about Clausen's leadership skills, claiming that Crist was simply the better leader.

 

[NeuteredDoomer]

I can't wait for Crist to take over. I don't know what it is, but just watching the guy on the sidelines (from TV, with no replay), his learning intensity and enthusiasm, really turned me on to the guy. Kinda broke my heart when I watched him go down.

I knew he was done before he hit the ground.

Praying he heals completely and quickly. He is a diamond.

 

[49er-Irish]

It's funny that Crist reaching out to Hendrix to help recruit a player that plays the same position is an example of his great leadership when Clausen did the same thing.

Clausen definitely played a role in getting Crist on board with ND, but I don't remember the praise for his leadership. And Clausen and Crist were in back to back recruiting classes while Crist will have an extra year advantage over Hendrix.

 

[GOLDENISTHYTATE]

Anyone catch the Offense-Defense All-American bowl? I caught the tail-end of it and Hendrix was done for the day at that point. I know he started and was a featured player in the game, but I wanted to hear how he looked.

On a smaller note in regard to that game, good gosh there seem to be some incredible players coming out of California this year.

Completely random thought my friend, and totally up for grabs... I am a total Jimmy fan and think he is fantastic. Just something about Crist that impresses me a bit more, even if he never plays another down. Same thing I think I saw in Clements (replays) Rice, McDougal, and Powlus. It would be easier to say who I didn't like. (Beuerlein - no offense Mr. Beuerlein. You had a pro career...)

Watched a little bit of it. He was changed to the east squad from the west on pretty short notice. The east got dominated, they had no running game or anything. He was the feature qb for the east and did start. If you watched, you probably realized it was very cold out. Im pretty sure he went 1 for 6 and justin utopo picked off one of his passes that his receiver couldnt catch. But the west dominated the game on both sides

great news! hope to see us win out on him. will need a qb and this kid appears to be able to take the reigns when his turn comes.

 

[BearGB]

Charley Molnar talked to him on the phone last night... no surprise. There's an article on rivals (IrishIllustrated) about it. I can't read it, but I would guess it doesn't say anything too new.

 

[Maddog77]

Some gator fans are posting on their boards that he is sneaking a trip to Florida in, ISD is attempting to confirm it.

 

[NDinL.A.]

The FL boards are confirming it...Hendrix sent a text to the mods saying that he is visiting FL this weekend. Mike Frank is reporting that Kelly knows about it, told Hendrix that he wasn't happy with it - and Hendrix went anyways.

I'm torn about this. In one sense, we switched coaches on him, switched offenses on him, switched position coaches on him, we have 2 QBs in this class where many teams just sign one, Kelly recently offered an athlete that some consider a QB recruit, the school he is going to is a proven winner, and it's smart for him to be sure about his choice.

On the other hand, he has ONE scholarship QB ahead of him at ND, and that kid is coming off an injury; he's visiting FL - who runs the spread also, he's talked about education sooooo much in his recruitment - but yet he's visiting FL of all places; the FL coach is a known liar and scumbag; the FL coach is taking a leave of absence right when he's done lying, errrrrr, recruiting these players; FL has already signed a QB to this class; he wrote a weekly blog for ISD in which he constantly professed his love for ND and especially the type of players on the team, and oh yeah, THEIR COACH IS A COMPLETE SCUMBAG.

Chase Rettig, BC commit, recently professed his love for ND and that he was disappointed the previous staff didn't offer him, and Luke Massa is still out there. Depending on what Hendrix says, it might be time to look at those 2 guys again...

According to my source (yeah, I know) the reason why Liar is still recruiting is because of immense pressure by boosters to get the #1 recruiting class. As soon as NSD is over, he's gone.

Gone from coaching, or gone until August?
