instead of bashing our coach and saying his recruiting tactics are immoral lets support the damn guy. thats why we have struggled the coach has had no support from fans and alumni. he is a great recruiter, who gives a s*** if he told the kid joe pa is old....HE IS! recruiting is an ugly business and we all know that. i'm sure if we were privvy to half the stuff that went on behind closed doors every coach would probably be hated. so congrats jarron welcome to ND, you have made a great choice that will beneoft you for the next 60-70 years. GO IRISH AND ONLY 4 MORE DAYS!!!!!

What?

Who here is bashing Kelly again? lol

 

[Whiskeyjack]

What?

Who here is bashing Kelly again? lol

Title2012 "quoted" a nasty comment about Kelly from a PSU board for laughs, except he didn't put it in quotes or attribute it, so several posters here have gotten upset at him thinking it was his own opinion.

 

[Buster Bluth]

I just got home and read this. SO DRUNK AND HAPPY ABOUT THIS!!!!!!

I know.

Sorry, that was my attempt at being a smartass because of his confusion. Maybe I should stick to being the guy who defends the ignorant. lol

[BleedBlueGold]

Wow, yesterday was a great day! I got my tix for the weekend. Got tix to BC. Might have fallen into tix for USC and AF. AND Mr. Jones makes the call! Really amped about this!

 

[rtrn2glory]

No Freaking Way!! I just yelled that out loud to the class I teach!!

Thanks JJ for making my Irish Football Day!!

 

[BleedBlueGold]

Is this just Lemming being Lemming? Or is there some truth behind this?

Notre Dame's biggest needs in the current cycle remain running back and offensive tackle, a position at which Lemming believes Jones could develop into an All-American. The Irish are involved with a number of standout offensive linemen, including Andrus Peat, Zach Banner and Kyle Murphy.

"(Jones has) all the tools to be an All-America offensive lineman, and a good defensive lineman," said Lemming, who believes that Jones' first shot will come on defense.

This is the first mention I've heard about Jones possibly getting a look at OT. Everything I've heard/read has mentioned how great this kid will be on the DL. Just curious if Lemming is just talking out of his arss, as usual, or if there's a strong possibility he ends up on the OL.

Yeah, I was on the crapper reading my twitter and about fell of the toilet!!

ESPN has him rated as an OT (#13). He definitely has the body to play Tackle, but by all accounts Notre Dame recruited Jones to play DL.

 

[ndcoltsfan2010]

So happy about this kid. He has been my favorite for some time now. I think this young man will be awesome both on and off the field and will represent nd in the finest fashion. Congrats and welcome aboard young man.

 

[Me2SouthBend]

Welcome to the ND family Jarron! Great 40 yr. decision. I can't wait to see this defense in the coming years.

 

[johnsben]

I heard he only committed to ND because Penn State said there was no room at the inn after Schutt committed.

Interesting. Regardless, I'm happy to have him.

 

[goldandblue]

Our defense is going to be Bad ***!! Everyone talks about how great SEC defenses are and they are really good but watch the hell out cause the Irish are coming....

 

[Kingbish01]

Nice to see BK and Company knocking down big time defensive recruits for the 2nd year in a row. Everything is nicely falling into place. BOUT TIME!

 

[Irish Beaver]

I distinctly remember a quote from Kelly saying he'd like to field 11 big skill players all at once if he could as a joke. But I now don't think he was joking. Perkins and Romeo at FS and SS. Ishaq and Councell at DB. Lynch and Niklas at OLB. Rabasa and Shembo at ILB. Jones, Day and Nix on the DL. Done and done.

 

[nd1]

welcome aboard jj. this d is going to be sick in the coming years.

 

[IRISHMAN]

with now jarron jones comming to ND, does anyone else think that maybe ND would be better off switching to a 4-3 defense? with two recruiting classes BK will have built increadible depth in the front seven but in a 3-4 scheme is it to much depth. with lynch, tuitt, troy n., nix, springman, ishaq, councell, hounsell and jones how are you going to play all these guys, it's a nice problem to have but is it a problem. have lynch and tuitt at DE with guys like nix, springman, day and jones rotating at the two DT spots with ishaq, troy n. and counsell rotating in at DE for lynch and tuitt.

HELL NO. I think we have experienced enough coaching and or scheme changes on defense over the last few years. It is never a problem to have to many skill players. This breeds a very high level of competition within our own football team. Also, Can you imagine if we can go 3 deep without losing any skill? Potentially there could be some transfers. That is what football is all about, the strong will survive, the weak will disappear or transfer.

My question to you is how does moving from a system in which there are 5 positions for these guys to play (NT, 2 DE, 2 OLB) to a system with only 4 positions (2 DT, 2 DE) back up your point of too much depth? In the 3-4 we get Lynch, Tuitt, Ishaq, and Niklas, and Nix on the field all at the same time. In the 4-3 you propose you have Ishaq, Niklas, and Councell rotating at the DE spots behind Lynch and Tuitt. Plus Kelly seems to be moving some DE's like Rabasa to ILB too.

 

[Irishman77]

Been lurking here since the Lynch saga. Had to break the ice and post with this news. We now have Mean Jarron Green in a gold helmet! We are creating a defense that will rarely lose a one on one match up. Getting out matched the last 17 years has been excruciating. The time has come for us to start beating the pulp out of everyone. GO IRISH!!!!

JC Shurburtt from 24/7 also believes he had the look and ability of an awesome left tackle.
