My goodness...Sign this kid up now! I haven't seen DB film this good since well Tracy Howard. This could would be great in a zone scheme, with some technique work needed.

 

[woolybug25]

Scout has him as the #2 CB. Kid is a baller.

Sounds like he is a FL lean from my Google search? Can you give us pion non-insider folks some insight?

 

[GainesvilleIrish]

Good offer list & great highlight video. Kid's a player for sure!

Not an ISD member, article say anything good? Interest level?

I swear! If Florida gets him and Tracy Howard I'm going to have a fit!

My pleasure. From ISD:

Still open - hasn't narrowed anything down yet.
Has a list of school requirements but he isn't telling anyone so schools don't cater to them.
Wants to play immediately.
Tony Alford has been by twice this Spring.
Quoted as having a tight bond relationship (way to go Tony!)
Went to the ND-Stanford game last September.
Liked the tradition.
Quoted saying when he cuts his list, ND will definitely be on there.
Will make a trip up in the summer or for an official in the fall.

That's encouraging! TG for Tony Alford...him and Diaco will be the "Closers"

me likey....

thnx bery

It's nice having a plethora of elite DBs interested in ND! I feel we wll definitely get at least one more elite DB to sign on the dotted line.

Why are we just hearing about this kid? Btw could he have attended a worse game for us?

I was looking all over for his thread but nothing came up. Surprised too.

Same here. I was like "yikes" when I read that. But he said he knew it was a rough day for ND but liked how they turned it on in the end of season and said it was nice that they "dominated the whole game against Miami".

Good having a FL boy root against Miami when ND played them in the bowl.

 

[GainesvilleIrish]

If we can land one or two of Wright, this kid or Smith to go along with Shepard, Darby and Barretti...... wow. One of the best DB classes I can remember.

 

[D-BOE34]

Damn .. elite DB's with Longo training!! I can't wait for 2013-2014 honestly. The new db class developing with a very solid, developed DL. We could def be a top 10 defense in all categories in that time frame.

 

[beryirish]

With Farley now going to be play offense for ND it slims NDs numbers in the secondary which is another enticing reason for DBs to come to ND to compete for early playing time. Wouldn't surprise me to land 2 top notch DBs with the recent news now.

Lol, can't forget about Badger coming back as well.

Boooooooooo...Tony Alford step up your game.

 

[Ricochet]

Poole is a hell of a player but with the last CB spot I wanted it to be one of these 3, Tracy Howard, Yuri Wright or Geno Smith before him anyways as I see those 3 as well as Tee and Darby as the elite 5 CB's of the 2012 class.

Corey Long: Florida notebook - ESPN

Invited and accepted invitation to play in Under Armour game.
Grew up watching football in the Southeast so likes the SEC and in-state schools but he's not ready to narrow list down yet.

 

[IHateMarkMay]

Committed to Florida.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Dang

 

[DoverShores]

Premium article on 247 about him still wanting to take an OV

 

[Rocket89]

Shouldn't it say (UF Verbal)?

(FL Verbal) looks weird.

Anyone else agree? Do you normally use FL for the Gators in this situation?

 

[ndfi78]

You are right Rocket89

 

[Irish Man3]

Says he will take all five OV this fall but is "still committed" to Florida. He doesn't expect that to change but he wants to use the visits he is given by the NCAA to see good football games. Remember, this guy already visited ND last year for the Stanford game. ND is not much of a player here anymore.

Agreed. Just being a fan of the game. Move along now. Move along.

 

[rtrn2glory]

i wouldn't move along if he decides to come to the USC game...a good showing and boys will be lining up
