'12 NY DT Jarron Jones (Notre Dame Signed LOI)

[Irishman77]

Mean Jarron Jones learning under the likes of Nix,Tuitt and Lynch...Yikes! I just hope we keep this monster on D!

 

[GUknights75]

If Armstead commits as a DL, which is unlikely but still within the realm of possibility, I believe Jones switches to O-Tackle. I to would love to keep him on D but if that situation happens, idk if we have enough room (literally ) for two 6'8" D-lineman. Though it would be interesting to have a D-Line the size of Wisconson's O-Line.

JUST FOR FUN

LT - Armstead 6-8
LG - Springman 6-6
C - Nix 6-3
RG - Tuitt 6-5
RT - Jones 6-8
TE - Lynch 6-6

SCAREY

That would have been great back in my time when the guys had to go both ways. Four man D-front with Lou at Mike and Aaron at one OLB? [Niklas at the other].

[.....there's so much goofy about this, but it would make a great comedy movie].

I remember when I was 7.

Cool......

I see Jarron being the Big Lou of this class when it comes to personality. Maybe a bit shy and may get a bit homesick at first, but will really come into his own, show his funny side, and become a fan favorite.

Is it for sure he'll play d-line?

I feel like he'd be elite either way, but our d-line is less of a concern that our o-line imo.

I respectfully disagree. This guy has the potential to be unstoppable one on one and could force a double team. That leaves Lynch,Tuitt,Nix etc getting a one on one. Once we can actually get pressure on opposing QB's with our front 4 our back 7 will look much better. Besides uncertainty at center moving forward I feel very confident in our O line. jmho..

 

[PANDFAN]

i foresee a lot of 4-3 formations in our future!!!!! too many elite freak athletes to not keep them on the field

i think a lot of us have been saying this all year.

Any of those guys could demand a double team. Things are definitely looking good up front.

 

[Irishman77]

no diggity, no doubt! I am practically foaming at the mouth waiting to watch all these freaks fully developed and exploding off the ball, blowing by the O line and 2-3 of the above mentioned beasts lifting the quarterback in the air and burying him 2 feet below the earth!

It is great to see we are landing some playmakers on offense, but there is absolutely nothing better than seeing a crowd of Gold Helmets on top of a quarterback. GO IRISH!!!

When was the last time ND really had a down right, nasty, eat you alive and spit you out attitude? Late '80s?

YEP!

 

[Grahambo]

'93 eh? Wow. I was born in '86 so I am craving for the days a lot of you were blessed enough to see.

Seems like we are headed that way.

And most of the elite athletes are on the D-Line, not in the LB corps. That remains a need. Where's Stonebreaker when you need him?

How is the '13 class shaping up as far as LB's are concerned? Seemed like BK's plan was D-line last year and secondary this year.

I think last year was primarily bigs. This year primarily skill. Next year may be the year for big skill.

Not very familiar with next years kids but LB will be targeted heavily next year for sure

What is "big skill"?

 

[BeauBenken]

What is "big skill"?

LB, TE.

 

[arrowryan]

LB, TE.

Linebacker is a must for next year. I dont think we have recruited one since BK got here. I also think running back is a must

Ummm...

LBs in general????? Yes we have..

ILBs... Grace and Rabassa

Grace and Councell left out in the cold by you, huh? lmao

Also, yes RB will be a must. We lose at least one after next year.

2 wont be enough. I would like to see 2 stud inside linebackers in next years class

 

[rtrn2glory]

ishaq was basically a linebacker too.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

2011: Ishaq, Councell, Grace, Rabasa, Niklas, Schmidt
2010: Moore, Utopo, Shembo

So you're saying that BK hasn't pulled in an LB yet, right?

Bingo...none at all big wiff!
