He's so quick for his size. I had some doubts about his high but I think he is legit 6'2".

Who does he remind you guys of?

Sedrick Ellis formerly of USC now with the Saints. What do you guys think of that comparison?

To be honest when I first saw his film he reminded me of a more powerful and relentless Tyler Stockton.

I'd say that's a good comparison. What happend to Tyler? I had high hopes for the kid. He was one of the too recruits in that class for us.

Don't you put that evil on Sheldon, IM8.

Tyler had a very good tape coming out of high school, so no 'evil' meant. Believe ESPN had Tyler as the #2 DT in the nation. Some kids just don't pan out the way we hope, but I have the same high hopes for Sheldon as I did for Tyler. Hopefully Sheldon can have a bigger impact earlier in his career, but if anyone ever heard Tyler talk they would know he is an ND man through and through and is a true student-athlete. I will take him all day and twice on NSD.

I meant no insult to Stockton personally. It just strikes me as bad juju to compare an incoming recruit to one of our most conspicuous recruiting "busts" of the last 5 years.

I understand. I just don't like ever calling our kids busts or anything like that, especially when they are as great of kids and student athletes as Tyler and Deion Walker.

I'm pretty sure everybody is talking about his game, not whether he is a good kid or not. We all like guys like Tyler and Deion and wish the best for them. I know that Whiskey would be psyched if one of them redeemed themselves on the field. But so far, they both have been huge disappointments in that regard. So I don't really get you acting like Whiskey is somehow belittling either of them by his comments. We all respect and appreciate the guys that suit up in the blue and gold, but that doesn't mean that we have to sugar-coat their actual play on the field. I really didn't like the condescending tone of that statement, you know Whiskey respects our players, just like you.

I would like both of you to kiss and make up. This whole convo wreaks of poo.

I had no doubt Sheldon was going to be good, but I am very impressed with how he is doing so far. I think we got something special here. He is going to be a wrecking ball causing a lot of havoc for OG's.

... which is bad news for QBs and RBs but good news for cornerbacks and safeties!

Many of you have heard how much I like Sheldon Day as a player; Many of you have heard me say he would make us all forget about AL; some of you have talked about reloading versus rebuilding and have said that will happen at safety after this year, (Shumate for Slaughter). I maintain it will happen this fall, with Sheldon Day for all freshman Defensive ends from last year. Here is a freebee from ISD:

Sheldon Day, DL -- It's rare for a freshman defensive lineman to make an immediate impact during his first spring practice, let alone a freshman defensive lineman that enrolled early. Day represents a rare blend of mass, quickness, tenacity, and strength. Just looking at him, one would not unlikely call out "pass rusher" as a defining term for his body style. He's thick, maybe 6-2, and possesses wide hips and thick upper legs. Then again, those same characteristics define former Irish great Trevor Laws, as well as former Miami and NFL great Warren Sapp. Because Day penetrates quickly and wreaks havoc during passing plays, he should be a regular in the Irish rotation this fall. In fact, he might be Notre Dame's most important down lineman during obvious passing situations. It will be interesting to see how defensive line coach Mike Elston and defensive coordinator Bob Diaco mix up where Day lines up to best allow for match ups with offensive linemen that often struggle during pass protection. If Day displays the ability to play the run as well as he proves he belongs on the field during passing plays, he could challenge for a starting position. Having seen Day play live and on television during his playing days for Indianapolis (Warren Central), I knew he would be very good for the Irish. I did not, however, anticipate him being this advanced and pushing for immediate playing time during spring practice. That proves to me that he desires as much information as possible (learning technique, technique, and more technique) to help him reach playing on Sundays. At this rate, it's hard to project Day as a future NFL player. Still a long way to go, but he's headed in the proper direction if he wants to play in the NFL. First things first; Day needs to continue to get into even better shape and learn how to better use his hands to disengage offensive linemen. He's advanced for his age, but a full summer and fall of working on technique should make him really hard to handle during one-on-one situations.

I nominate him in advance for the 2012 Iron Will award! Just wait and see!
