Eh, there is nothing I like more than someone willing to work their tail off, which is why I really hope this kid can come here if it's what he wants. While I realize that there are certain criteria to be met in order to achieve success at Notre Dame, hard work can overcome a lack of natural ability. I'm not advocating setting the kid up for failure if he really can't make it at ND, but if he is truly willing to put in the hard work, I think his mentality can make up for some of his deficiencies.

That would be a negative. The last thing we need are those folks sniffing around here looking for idiots posting their stuff. That's their livelyhood. If you need to know, get a subscription....otherwise, hold out a few hours/days....it'll come out somewhere eventually.

He wants to come to Notre Dame. He just needs to improve his grades. He basically tells everyone that he wants to go to Notre Dame.

not really...some players on the ND roster are there with a 19 ACT score

its a sliding scale, he needs to improve one or the other...its just quicker to improve your ACT mark and attaining a higher GPA is hard to do in just one semester...

Struck me the same way rocket. There have been ND players with scores lower than 19. And your right again that it's quicker to move up the scale with an improved test score than through GPA building.

Most schools will admit anyone who meets the NCAA minimum for acceptance on a sliding scale. Herein is the major difference at ND. Admissions wants to see the student demonstrate that they can handle the workload at ND. That they have have the basic tools to succeed in ND's academic enviroment.

I could be wrong but I thought Daniels was carrying the weight of unproductive freshman and/or sophomore years when he didn't care or wasn't focused on education. I thought he was working to improve a questionable foundation. He could boost a test score thought a tutor or test taking course but if he doesn't grasp the fundamentals of math, for example, ...

As he's still talking ND, ND hasn't closed the door like they did with Walter Payton's kid and many other talented athletes through the years. It's his, to make happen.

Ok, well I'm just telling you what Davaris said in the article. He is under the impression he is there as far as grades he just needs to get his ACT score up.

I think the Irish have a great shot now at landing Daniels since Williams committed to Washington.

I think the Irish have an almost 100% shot if he can get his academic issues fixed even if Williams didn't commit to Washngton.

I am thinking with Floyd on his way out with a big season, Shaq transferring, Duval out of eligibility, seeing all the freshman get the chance to prove themselves and break the lineup we have a great shot. I think it will be towards end of season when he commits. USC game is my thinking. Going on nothing other than a hope and a wish.

He mentioned committing during an all-star game after the press conference fiasco. I hope he commits the day he gets his test scores back though

I thought that I heard something along those lines as well. He seems very high on Notre Dame right now but the all star games are so far away and anything can happen. I know grades are a major factor but I also think he wants to see the product we put on the field. Just hearing Miami's name in the mix worries me considering how close he already came to committing earlier this year.

I remember reading this somewhere as well. I am hoping a few other top receivers come out of the woodwork as the season progresses and this pushes him towards committing. Thus maybe leading to one more receiver we have left off our possibility of snagging?

So many things to churn in ones head this early in the season! My wife to be, saturday to be exact, gives me a look when all of a sudden as i'm on this thread, or any other, the victory march starts playing in the background when I get pumped!
