'12 NJ S Elijah Shumate (Notre Dame Signed LOI)

[Buster Bluth]

Since Notre Dame is only after the truly elite guys (outside of Westerkamp) at this point, I say take them all and refuse the 5th-year guys.

Although most people would say this is crazy, I tend to agree. I can't believe someone would take Cwynar over someone like an Arik.

 

[Irishman77]

only two we should keep are Cave and Slaughter. Time to move forward with swag and balls

Add KLM, and I agree.

 

[NDdomer2]

Not kap?

 

[clashmore_mike]

KLM?

 

[Irishman77]

yeah thats a tough one. If we got a shot at elite player for four years vs a solid starter for one year I still support the youth movement.

 

[jimmymac]

I think that without a real probability for a successful year next year because of difficulty of the schedule we should not take as many fifth years in this cycle.

 

[clashmore_mike]

Where is the latest breakdown of number of available scholarships not counting 5th year guys? I looked and couldn't find it.

Completely agree, provided the guys we're bringing in are considered elite.

 

[Rocky2820]

Wiltfong has a quote from Shumate saying ND wants to use him in offensive packages like the Wildcat, in addition to playing safety. This kid looks to be ALL IRISH!!!

Counting Badger, the magic number is 26.

Cave, Slaughter, and KLM are locks to return. Cwynar is on the bubble. Golic Jr. probably isn't getting asked back.

26- 3 or 4 5Ys = 22 or 23 in the 2012 class.

We're at 17 now, so we can take 5 or 6 more tops.

 

[IanBr22]

Since Coach made the distinction between his guys and Weis' guys, he should take as many recruits as he can and not allow but a few 5th years. That'll help get rid of the issue quicker. Whoever wants to commit to ND, let 'em in.

If no Golic Jr., who's gonna be the other C in the two-deep?

 

[rtrn2glory]

hegarty's been working there and then heggie if all else fails.

 

[Grahambo]

Not that he will make the 2 deep but Harrell said he will be a center at ND.

Heggarty.

I thought Heggie was going to be the starting quarterback next year?

WWHHHAAATTTT????

you're right he's entering as #3 on the Depth chart behind hendrix and golson.

 

[CarrollVermin]

Is this kid a lock...because we are talking about it like it is...just wondering.

Really don't think that's an issue at all.

Who was that thinking he couldn't play in the box? I told you. I told you. But did you listen? Nooo...

Just a harmless little safety, isn't it?

 

[Irishman77]

Shumate and Barratti both Safeties being discussed as linebackers. Gotta love it! In two years if some poor puke makes it past our front 7 they will get there bell rung!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Damion704]

Why are people assuming he is gonna commit?

Why are people assuming he is gonna commit?

After his visit (which was his last visit) we lead.

My bad you are right! I didn't listen, I didn't listen!

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Are we not looking at Shumate as a RB now? He will start out at safety at ND?
