'12 CA WR Deontay Greenberry (Houston Signee)

TerryTate · May 6, 2011

Smart guy on Rivals had this to say:

A couple different responses, in brief:

Dorial Green-Beckham was visited by Coaches Alford and Warinner AT his high school last Friday, as I think Pete noted below. Not a visit to ND yet. That's under discussion for summer as noted previously. Sorry for confusion.

Darboh remains very much in play here, this offer to Greenberry aside. He's waiting to get his guardians out to ND when possible. Not clear yet on the timing.

Greenberry is more a WR right now and we offered with that in mind, but he has potential and ability to play FS as well. Versatile athlete who has been coached some by Shepard's renowned DB guru, Tony Perry. Transferred from famed Fresno Edison to Wash Union a year ago. Fresno is a "hidden gem" in turning out college and pro talent per capita.

They like him Outside, but he could slide Inside if necessary, too. Different Outside type than Ferguson, who himself is different than Daniels and Atkinson. Remember the likely mix of WRs on the depth chart in '12 and beyond -- we need a lot of help and talent infusion, and in various places and skill sets.

They obviously like Greenberry, so I noted him in late March for a reason. He's tested very well (4.4s range 40; 4.2s range short shuttle; mid-30s or better vertical, etc) at combines/camps last summer and recently, and been noted as a standout performer in actual football drills and on-field play at each stop. Barry Every/Rivals (fairly noted talent evaluator in all seriousness) has raved about him, as have the guys from ESPN, 247 and Scout for those who follow such stuff. Lemming, too! Named to US Army AA Game based on performances.

thanks for the read TT

good to finally hear some news about DGB...i really like Greenberry's size and the more i read about him from scouts they seem to like him more and more.

I like him, leave him at WR.

Rivals: National #115 :s:

Scout: WR #35 :s:

Ironman8 · May 15, 2011

From Stanford's Nike Camp this weekend, under "Weekend's Best":

Four-star wide receiver Deontay Greenberry continues to show he can make tough catches in camp settings. Greenberry put on a show the last time we saw him- at the Badger Elite 11 in Las Vegas- and continued to make his trademark difficult catches during this event. He dropped a few, too, and wasn’t as dominant as he was in Vegas, but he still was one of the top prospects in Palo Alto. Arizona State, California, Notre Dame, UCLA, UNLV, Washington and Washington State all have offered Greenberry. The Fighting Irish have been the team to beat.

GBdomer · May 16, 2011

ND has found great WR's that are making splashes early in the process, in him and Justin Ferguson. Greenberry will be are's in about a month. Now we just need Amara Darboh, Bryce Treggs and Malik Gilmore to jump on board too. Greenberry, Daniels, Ferguson, Treggs, Atkinson, Darboh, Gilmore and TJ Jones. yikes. oo ya and Ben Koyack he aint to bad either.

IrishInColumbus · May 16, 2011

You forgot to add DGB.

GBdomer · May 16, 2011

That i did my friend that I did. add him too if he wants to come no matter what.

rtrn2glory · May 16, 2011

yes, DGB is more than welcome to join regardless of how many receivers we already have committed.

ndcoltsfan2010 · May 16, 2011

I really hope this kid comes to ND. This kid is getting alot of rave reviews and seems like a kid that could really do nicely in our system.

There should/ will be a lot of suitors that join the mix. I don't think he is gonna be an easy get for us like so many thinks he is.

beryirish · May 16, 2011

I'm saying 100 percent get. Just have total confidence he just wants to come see the campus then its like...ok let's do this. Openly stated loves ND...wants an offer badly...wants to play with his cousin...got the offer now he just has to commit. I'm not sweating over this one. Huge soon to be get!

koonja · May 16, 2011

If I were a QB, I'd be really excited coming to ND... We're locking up the WR position for the next 4-5 years.

ndcoltsfan2010 · May 16, 2011

I like our chances with this kid as well, but I am being cautiously optimistic at the same time. I think he will be Irish shortly but then again anything can happen.

Ironman8 · May 16, 2011

More from the Stanford Camp, very encouraging per 24/7:

Based on what we heard and saw at Stanford Sunday, it probably is just a matter of time before four-star wide receiver Deontay Greenberry (Fresno, Calif./Washington Union) commits to Notre Dame, joining fellow Fresno-area star and friend Tee Shepard (Fresno, Calif./Central East) on the Fighting Irish commit list.

Nice to read this again. Really want this kid to play in Blue and Gold.

Ironman8 · May 16, 2011

Added Alabama and USC offers per Rivals and Scout and ISD, respectively.

GBdomer · May 16, 2011

Boise State also offered.

Irish Man3 · May 16, 2011

Might be in June, but I think this is our next verbal. He is another big and physical WR with good hands. He is tearing up every camp he steps foot at right now and collecting big offers in the process. Greenberry and Ferguson should wrap up the outside and let the staff focus on the slot.

GBdomer · May 16, 2011

I think Greenberry and Gilmore will be our next two commits.

Hate to be the one (really, this is Johnny's job isn't it?) but I think you're looking for the word our.

When ask what schools offered you after your initial offer (ASU) ... Deontay replied with ND first off the top of his head.

This must mean we are on the top of his mind right? right?

GBdomer · May 17, 2011

We lead so yes.

calvegas04 · May 17, 2011

It is an interview done by a usc website, and he pretty much try's to not talk about usc as much as he can. "Are you going to camp at sc? NOPE"

"I like the fact USC starts freshman"

1) Laney working his lies
2) TJ, Floyd, and Kamara started as frosh
3) I like the fact he doesn't seem to interested in SC.

IrishInColumbus · May 17, 2011

He didn't look or sound very interested in USC.

That is never a bad thing.

GBdomer · May 17, 2011

USC is stacked at WR. Woods, Prater, Ablems, Farmer, Lee.

rtrn2glory · May 17, 2011

may be the hottest player at his position in america...sooner he and tee visit the better. commits like this guy may make it more enticing (sp) to land one of the QB's on our radar.
