yea he looks like he good be a pretty good qb I am excited to see what he can do, forget what i was reading, but he was compared to andy dalton the qb from tcu. That's a pretty good comparison both have good arm strength can make the throws, and can scramble out of the gun, so i think he will be pretty good

He had an electric senior year and I hope that does nothing but propell him up the rankings. The kid is gritty and I like that.

Lake Forest's Rees gets early start - at Notre Dame :: Sports :: PIONEER PRESS :: Lake Forester

1/6
By DINO MACRO

With Notre Dame football in a state of flux, Tommy Rees wanted to be in the mix as quickly as possible.
So, the Lake Forest High School star graduated early from LFHS and is headed to the University of Notre Dame this weekend. The quarterback is set to begin taking classes on Tuesday.
Rees, who completed 215-of-308 passes for 2,572 yards and 23 touchdowns last fall at Lake Forest, will no longer be part of the Scouts' basketball team. The forward was a solid contributor for the 8-5 club.
The chance to impress new ND football coach Brian Kelly was too good to pass up.
“He can be involved in spring practice,” noted Scouts football coach Chuck Spagnoli. “With the quarterback situation the way it is, it's an opportunity for Tommy to get in there early.”

I was just goingt to add the others but you beat me to it BGIF. If anything, Rees will provide us with another option who may be better prepared than Hendrix or Crist come summer ball because he will be the only scholarship QB during spring practice. I applaud his decision and wish him the best.

Also, what does RKG stand for? Too many acronyms to remember these days.

Right Kinda Guys, BK mentioned it in his first press conference.

Not only that goldenisthytate, but he says it all the time. He's really big on that, the 'right kinda guys'. You're going to hear that throughout his tenure. What he means by RKG is tough players who absolutely love the game. If you're not a hard worker, you're not an RKG. If you're soft, you're not an RKG.

If ND loses, this quote will go down in ND lore like CW's 'decided systemic advantage' and 'thick quick and nasty' quotes. If BK brings us a winner, we're all going to be using that quote in our every day lives LOL...

Luginbill's sleeper is Notre Dame early enrollee Tommy Rees, who's not even the highest-ranked quarterback expected to sign with the Irish. (That would be Cincinnati native Andrew Hendrix.) "Not enough people recruited him," Luginbill said of Rees. "He has a chance to be a really good player." Rees figures to get a lot of work this spring with anticipated starter Dayne Crist recovering from ACL surgery.

- quote from Scouts Inc.'s national recruiting director Tom Luginbill, in an SI article about this year's quarterback class

I find it comical that this was the first reply to this thread. No offense, jason. Everybody makes comments that can look pretty funny in retrospect.

I'm glad we reached for this one.

The ND Twitterati are worried that the above is a NCAA violation.

Only ND and the NCAA are allowed to profit off the likenesses of NDFB players. Rees' likeness appears on the shirt.

Probably much ado about nothing.

Ah well I figured that somebody would okay it with ND first. I don't think the NCAA could come after ND or anything though just maybe whoever is distributing the shirt.

Pretty sure I had a Ronald Talley shirt in school.

Don't think the NCAA gave 2 sh*ts.

NCAA violation buzz didn't come from me. If ND cares, I'm sure they could have the shirts removed.

Not a Rees or ND violation, but a violation on the companies part? Sounds more like they will get in trouble not us.
