'12 WA RB Keivarae Russell (Notre Dame Signed LOI)

[Sherm Sticky]

You lose!
:smilewink

LMAO, I forgot about that. That was a long time ago.

On a side note welcome to Notre Dame Mr. Russell.
He still reminds me of Armando Allen, hopefully he can stay healthy though.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Need him and Jarron Jones to put in work at the Army AA game.

Calling Mr. Shumate and Mr. Wright...

 

[IrishInFl]

Welcome Mr. Russel !!! Show me the moneyIrishInFL.

Gladly.

 

[Irish YJ]

Quicker than fast then, right?

:awesomewo

Definitely not fast. But quick and athletic. He is a great kid, and we're lucky to have him. I think he can improve on speed, and pick up some muscle,,,,,, and will compete after a year or so. He could end up in the slot or at DB. Need to also improve on YAC based on the small amount of video I've watched. Regardless of the need to improve in various areas, this kid seems to have a level of the "it' factor, even though it is against lesser competition. I'm going to assume he has what it takes to step it up a couple notches! Not flashy, but a great solid kid with lots of upside.

From TT's post earlier. You have to suffer through an Office Depot ad. Video is a bit rough, but here it is.

 

[RyCo1983]

HELL YES

 

[Rocket's Rocket Fan]

Awesome! Welcome to ND Keivarae!

 

[NYMIKE6]

Good news finally! i like this combo of backs Russell and Mahone will be a great addition to the backfield. While Russell isn't a burner it appears he has great vision carrying the rock. Theres nothing more disheartening to a defense then for a back to consistently pick up yardage because of their ability to see open areas in a defense.

I was a little concerned about our backfield after the injury to Roberson and the fact that Gray is out of eligibility but the addition of these to kids has me feeling confident in our ability for production and effective depth. In the next 1-2 years our backfield is going to be a strength.

 

[Irish Man3]

Like it. 2 stud running backs.

 

[BGIF]

I thought he was staying home.

Good choice, young man!

 

[fitz_bu47]

That was awesome.

 

[phork]

Hot Damn!

 

[Chicago Irish Fan]

Great pickup, I'm looking forward to seeing this kid play in blue and gold.

His stats compared to the rest of the RBs. Tops at shuttle, near the top on verticle, decent 40. Have to believe he'll improve the 4.55 with a year of hard work.

 

[condoms SUCk]

Welcome Russell. get ready to do work son.

 

[irish4ever]

Hot Damn!

You took the words right out of my mouth! As a matter of fact, Hot Double Damn!!! Welcome aboard the Irish freight train Mr. Russell!!!!
