'12 ATH Daje Johnson (Texas Verbal)

[Ndaccountant]

247 saying ND may get a visit from him.

He is a 4* on 247 and Rivals and is known for speed.

Apparently ND has Mom in their corner.

SPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!!!!!

 

[IrishLax]

This guy DOMINATED at The Opening... absolutely freakish athlete.

 

[HereComeTheIrish]

He'd be a huge upgrade over Wood to be sure. See hole, hit hole. No tap dancing in the backfield. I like him.

Very well said...hits the hole and accelerates thru the hole. BRAH!

 

[NDPhilly]

I love our staff.

 

[Grahambo]

Wow.

 

[rtrn2glory]

and we thought we were only getting one RB this cycle? unless he's another DB?

 

[NDinToledo]

You got to love the speed we have got and are going after. Something we haven't seen at ND in a long time. This kid would be a good steal!

 

[VAIrishFan]

WOW! This kid is CRAZY fast. I like they way he makes up his mind and hit the hole.

 

[NDPhilly]

Insurance in case we miss on Davonte Neal?

 

[Ndaccountant]

Insurance in case we miss on Davonte Neal?

That was my thought.

 

[NDPhilly]

That was my thought.

Why don't we just take both? Lol

 

[greyhammer90]

Holy ****

 

[PigtownIrish]

Seriously know we are getting low but how do we not take both if they want to come?

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Insurance in case we miss on Davonte Neal?

I'm thinking Neal isn't an ND lean like most of you think. Neal will end up at Ohio State, he lived in Akron till he was 9 and is huge Buckeye fan.

 

[Irishman77]

Just thought I would add his specs:

Ht:5'10"
Wt:185 lbs
40:4.34 secs
Vertical:41 inches
Class:2012 (High School)


ahhh not to many of our species run a 4.3 and 40+vertical! YIKES

 

[rtrn2glory]

could be a backup plan for DB too...will have to wait and see when he sets up his official.

 

[Buster Bluth]

The speed on display in that video is ridiculous. Ridiculous!

[greyhammer90]

best vertical and three hundreths of a second behind the best 40 time?

 

[Grahambo]

best vertical and three hundreths of a second behind the best 40 time?

Anytime you are remind someone of LaMichael James, I will take it.

 

[indyron]

wow this guy has crazy wheels. Hope we can get him up to SB for an OV!

 

[arrowryan]

Could he be our Darren Sproles?

 

[Rocky2820]

All this speed we're recruiting needs some field turf to run on.

 

[BeauBenken]

I don't see how a guy who is committed elsewhere could be insurance. I just think the staff likes a guy who can run a 4.3 and just straight ball. I know I sure as hell do.

 

[Grahambo]

Can the mods correct his front page to how the other recruits are setup?

 

[tadman95]

Yeah I don't know. Isn't having 4.3 guys on each side of the ball a little wasteful? We only have 85 spots, with injuries, developing youngsters and such, seems like we could use the spot more appropriately. Just sayin'............



















What a dumb*ss thoutght!

Gotta love his mom. You never know until he steps foot on campus.
