Will be at the game this weekend.

No offer yet but says "it is definitely coming"

Really likes them. Has ND fans in his family. Feels he can really fit well into their system.

Expressed most interest in PSU and Tennessee until ND called.

Oregon is also showing lots of interest.

 

[BeauBenken]

Slot all day.

 

[BCSorBust]

Slot all day.

I usually resist this on recruits boards . . . but that's what she said

 

[anarin]

You dont see many WV kids play for big time programs, especially from the Charleston area. This kid plays 15 minutes away from me. I'm gonna have to keep tabs on him.

Video 2, :20 second mark, sick catch.

All I thought about was Rudy thru the whole tour! Beautiful setting. Great coaches.

 

[Riddickulous]

Disgusted by the Penn State scandal and that will probably remove them from contention. They were very high on his list.

 

[aubeirish]

Penn State is entering a world of pain.

Sick catches.....and sick accents...

 

[D-BOE34]

If BK picks him, I will take him. Heggie is next man in!!!!!

 

[NDdomer2]

If BK picks him, I will take him. Heggie is next man in!!!!!

I don't think he is comparable to Heggie. Already holds offers from three BCS schools.

 

[D-BOE34]

I don't think he is comparable to Heggie. Already holds offers from three BCS schools.

Referring to the development of his player is what I am speaking of.

Switzer is a tad small but could be a beast under BK. Heggie would be my example I guess? Different positions but I am strong on if Heggie can succeed, anyone can succeed!


See what you are saying tho...

 

[anarin]

Game winning catch in the UA game.

Tons of potential here, I really see a wes welker type kid. I'd like to see him succeed at the next level, we don't get many west virginians at the next level haha

 

[blueNDgold44]

Next Toma?

 

[Riddickulous]

This kid had 5 punt return touchdowns this year as a true freshman

 

[Irishnuke]

So...he wasn't good enough to play at ND?

 

[AvesEvo]

Our special teams sucks (especially punt returns) so it would have been wasted talent.

 

[IrishLax]

If he was in '12, we probably take him. Too bad. Great player.

 

[IrishJayhawk]

TJ had a decent year, I thought. Other than the fumble today...

 

[AvesEvo]

TJ had a decent year, I thought. Other than the fumble today...

Definitely an improvement over the previous couple of years.

 

[Irish YJ]

he would have likely rode the pines all year because everyone knows the studs ahead of him and everyone knows it's stupid not to redshirt.

He scares the shit out of me on special teams. If we can neutralize that aspect of their game, we should be able to win by more than 7.
