Based on everything i hacve read it appears alot of the team has really bought into Longo's program

Ethan Johnson looks like a stud, all reports is he is a physical freak

Kapron Lewis Moore has really filled out and looks really impressive

Shaq Evans has really bought in and looks great

EJ, KLM, and Shaq have been getting the most praise

other notes..

Jamoris Slaughter is also turning heads

Darrin Walls looks to be in the best shape of his career

Daniel Smith looks really fast

Justin Utupo is a solid 250 and is getting looked at as an OLB, (outide of TJ, he has impressed the most on campus so far)

Austin Collinsworth has come in in great shape

Louis Nix has shown great athleticism but is at 350, will need to really work to get in better shape, could redshirt

thanks for the update..really good to hear they are in better shape this year. now maybe they can play a whole football game instead being exhausted and not being able to finish the game.

Nix at 350??

That seems incredibly high, did he gain 30 pounds that quickly?

Daniel Smith looks fast? He looked really slow on his game tape. Perhaps he's more of a long strider like Michael Floyd.

Kid could be the next Stovall.

After watching some more tape on this guy...Yeah. He's absolute money on the jump ball. Great ups. He's going to be a great redzone target.

IN LONGO WE TRUST!

I'm loving Longo's style and Kelly's philosophy of making players lighter so they can stay on the field longer (ala Michael Floyd).

I can't wait to see Longo's results on the team come September 4th.

Trying to think where I read that honestly not sure I read lot stuff on this team I think was something on twitter saying or something like that . Nothing like a interview or anything .


He made a casual comment on Facebook that some people misconstrued into homesickness. When he made the comment he was still living at home. Hard to be homesick when you're still there. It was discussed as nauseum in his recruit profile here.

As I read the comment it seemed more as trepidation over the rigors he was about to face. IF he is at 350, I can well understand reticence about facing Longo or any other Strength and Conditioning Coach.

"Big Ced" Hilliard came in overweight and out of condition. His career turned out OK.

Chris Stewart came in heavier than Nix is rumored to be. He worked hard and slimmed down. At least Nix has the benefit of the a training table at ND. The other guys didn't have a nutrionist as enforcer in addition to the Stength Coach.

Isn't that like an oxymoron?

Good to hear some news about Shaq Evans, I am anticipating a good season for him. I hope Nix does not redshirt.

Thanks for the update. Anything on John Goodman and Dayne Crist. When they hooked upon that 64 yd TD against WSU, it reminded me of Brady Quinn and Jeff Samardzija
