'12 IN WR Gehrig Dieter (Alabama Transfer)

[BeauBenken]

Local indoor facility where they throw and work with the equipment.

That's awesome. My city is a bit lacking of a place like that...

 

[PatsandBostonfan1975]

South Bend he can't go anywhere else right ?

 

[MacIrish75]

Where's your city, BB? Most of the major metro areas in Indiana have some sort of place like that. Indy has a couple. Fort Wayne has AWP, South Bend has one. Evansville does. New Albany/Jeffersonville kids have one nearby in Louisville.

Muncie. I mean we have some YMCA's and a Sports Plex (which I've never been too) on the outskirts of town, but I don't think they have equipment like the powerpull or anything quite that nice.

 

[MacIrish75]

Yeah. I went to college @ Indiana State in Terre Haute. Muncie and Terre Haute are two eerily similar towns. Nothing to speak of like that in Terre Haute, either. Most of the stud athletes that come out of Terre Haute go to Indy for training or just move their all-together, a la Greg Oden.

Back to Dieter, I think he's gifted enough and WR will be a position we will be looking at heavily next year. If I remember correctly, he could also potential play in the defensive backfield too, no?

Yea Muncie has plenty of natural athletes, but the city is in a rut and anyone who makes money moves out to the county so we lack in good training facilities, but have tremendous history for sports. A la Greg Oden stomping us in the state championship of basketball however long ago that was haha.

And as to Dieter playing safety, he can, but I'm not sure (and Panther could confirm or deny this) I think he'd prefer to play WR.

I said it before and I'll say it again.

His name sounds like that of a German superhero.

[Irish.Ca]

Heard he pumps iron in the gym with Hanz & Franz under direction from Longo.

 

[Junkhead]

From all the info (thanks panther), he would be a great addition to the Irish next year. Gotta lock up the home talent.

WR by far, best position though is probably QB, played that all thru Pop Warner and Middle School, never lost a game.
Does play Out LB now, as freshman at Adams, played corner (held Daniel Smith to 1 catch by the way) and safety, Led team in tackles, assist and interceptions as 9th grader.

To all, the indoor place is just the local Soccer Zone. There have an area they rent to a local trainer, who has 3 of the machines.

2) Needs 1455 yards to become Indiana's All-Time HS receiver

3) Needs season of 1455 to break NIC signle season record

 

[BeauBenken]

He's best at QB? Wow...your son must be a pretty dang good athlete. I can just see him slinging the ball on a trick play now that we know we can throw it. haha
It's actually almost crazy for you to say that he's best at that because he's such a talented wide receiver and athletically gifted...if he's best at QB he must be a hell of a QB! If that's what he's best at why doesn't he play that on his team?

 

[BeauBenken]

Btw, who holds the previous record for the All-Time Indiana receiver?

Would rather play WR. The second question is the coaches decision...

 

[Panther]

State is Jason McCormick
North Montgomery 3,607 1996 was his last season.

The NIC is George Iams
Clay in 1975 1426

 

[Panther]

State record is Jason McCormick of North Montgomery 3A school, I think in Crawfordsville.

3,607, last season was 1996.

 

[BeauBenken]

Well if he prefers playing WR to QB then you cant argue with him. Either way, he has quite the knack.

I would play him there, but I am not the coach

 

[BeauBenken]

Well you still have to be happy with what he's accomplished. Btw, I sent you a friend request panther and a pm. I hope to keep good track of your boy's progression and recruitment.

Did you read the article in the post before yours?

According to David McCoy at wsbt.com:

Dieter currently has a scholarship offer to play Division I football at Bowling Green, but his real dream is to play for Notre Dame.

"Notre Dame, just everything is great there,” Dieter said. “The tradition, the team, the new coach, everything is running smooth."

But ultimately, he'll go where he has a scholarship, and he hasn't been offered one yet by the Irish. So he's out to show them this season that he's deserving.

 

[BeauBenken]

I talked to Panther too, and yes, his number one by far is Notre Dame.

The guy that posted that article IS as close to the situation as one can get. His name will be on the LOI next year.
