'12 OH RB William Mahone (Notre Dame Signed LOI)

[whiskeybent19]

I, at times, also wish I had a scout membership

 

[GBdomer]

Pretty sure we lead from what i have been told and heard. And now this scout article sums it up.

 

[irish4ever]

If he doesn't have "fumblitis", I sure hope that signs w/ the Irish!

Eliminated Penn State after his visit. Not sure on a leader. Still ND/Michigan State/Pitt (no order given).

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

ND is the leader.

[Coaches will be at his game next Friday night and he will also be at the ND Pitt game next Saturday.] -Per 247

Good impression this weekend plus a curb stomp of the Panthers next weekend and I believe it's a lock!

Man man man, need to win!

Wow, really exciting to hear. I have wanted this kid since the article ISD did on him and his family. Let's hope we can make it 2/2 with those ISD articles.

Would love to know why he dropped PSU

Would love to know why he dropped PSU

They showed him very little love while he was on campus last weekend.

Per ISD

Yes thank you. Posted from my phone and forgot link/credit.

I will venture to say they were all fawning over Dunn and paid no attention to him. He said he didn't get to talk to any coached or anything.

Also their dumbass fans tweeting at him probably didn't help.

7 RBs on the Depth Chart, 5 next year.

Makes sense now

here is link to ISD's update. My apologies to Ironman, please show me mercy.

This is another kid that seems to be extremely confident in his abilities ala David Perkins and Greenberry. It would be awesome to bring this kid on board...we need some extremely confident, tough SOB's with an edge to them to build upon last years class.

 

[Who'saWildManNow]

I've wanted this kid since the first time I saw his video.. Good size, hands and deceptive burst.

and Silas is only a soph...he is a beast

 

[Big23Head]

Can't read it but here is another link, says he divulged his leader (may be a tricky way to get people to read it)

With ND Visit Approaching, Mahone has Leader

 

[TerryTate]

ND is leading.

 

[koonja]

He kind of reminds me of Mike Hart. I hate Michigan, but I'd take Hart on my team any day.

ESPN Irish Recruiting

With 14 commits, including six from ESPNU's 150, Notre Dame ranks No. 11 in ESPN's Class of 2012 team recruiting.

And n 0-2 start on the field doesn't seem to be negatively affecting that.

I chatted with ESPN Recruiting's Jared Shanker, who said four-star running back William Mahone (Austintown Fitch High School, Ohio) will be in town for his official visit this weekend.

Shanker said he wouldn't be surprised if Mahone is sold on the Fighting Irish after this weekend.

"*Things are looking good with Mahone after indications are his visit to Penn State left him rather unimpressed," Shanker said. "He didn't get to sit by the other recruits because he arrived late and didn't hang around after the game. With him officially visiting this weekend to the Irish, it could go a long way in the Irish grabbing the reins in Mahone's recruitment,.

"I doubt Mahone would go public with it, though the Notre Dame staff might push for him to possibly create some positive buzz."

ND is leading.

some good news and a win on saturday would be nice.

 

[ToledoGoIrish]

has anyone heard anything (wether its just a rumor or misunderstanding) that he wouldnt answer calls from the coaching staff the day after the michigan game?

 

[Who'saWildManNow]

has anyone heard anything (wether its just a rumor or misunderstanding) that he wouldnt answer calls from the coaching staff the day after the michigan game?

Doubtful, being that he is visiting this weekend and ND is thought to be his leader..

 

[Te'o4Heisman]

That was the story at first, but then it was said that he let the call go to voicemail because he did not recognize the number. He immediately called back once he learned it was Coach Kelly. How much truth to this, or where it even came from, I have no clue, but that is supposedly the story.

 

[TerryTate]

I don't remember reading that on any sites.

 

[irishfanjho15]

Any kid who Michigan State wants at RB I want at RB. Their track record with running backs is spot on. With Kelly's off-season strength and conditioning program, a continued concentration on the o-line, and learning from one Cierre Wood, who hopefully graces our presence for another year (fingers crossed), this kid could definitely help us establish the run for years to come.

 

[Te'o4Heisman]

Me neither, but posters on other sites claim it went down. I couldn't find it, just reporting back on what was actually said in regards to Toledo's post.

I think MSU actually wants him at LB, I think.
