With a name like Christian he should be contractually obligated to go to Notre Dame... LOL

If I miss this sorry, but what are we recruiting him as??

As a freak athlete with 4.4 speed and the frame to support 265lbs while doing it...

AKA "Force," from a physics perspective. So essentially, we are recruiting him to fill the beast position.

If 4.4 speed is real, I would ask him if he can throw the ball :)

who cares what he plays, sign him up, get him on a bus, sort it out when he gets here.

I want to give this kid a shot at WR/TE first ala Baldwin...If that doesn't work out OLB or safety. At the very least he will see action on ST early.

He is a NFL stud type OLB... imagine his range and size coming off the edge... he is a kid that will get a look WR as well...... Imagine Floyd, Rudy, French, and Eifert in on a spread formation.....you could run Power with overwhelming size, and also you could toss the ball around the yard and win almost any 1 on 1 matchup on the field....... come on Christian.. you were born to were the Notre Dame Uni!

if the kid isnt aggressive and doesnt not like to hit, not a good fit on defense. red flags are thrown at players who prefer offense. not everyone is made to play D

I think Christian is a prospect that has all the tools to be great on Defense. He also has a unique blend of size and speed that creates a Jon Baldwin type matchup...

That's what I'm saying Baldwin clone...Imagine if Baldwin signed with us and it was Floyd, Baldwin & Tate.

Baldwin wanted to come here, test scores I believe held him back. I don't care where French wants to play, get him here. It seems like figuring out his position is a nice problem to have.
