Will be at ND Junior Day. Parents LOVE ND.

Quote from Jordan per BGI:
“I think it would just be unreal to get an offer from them … My parents would be thrilled and I’d be thrilled. I’ve followed them all my life. If they offered me, they’d definitely be at the top of my list.”

Nick Baratti Part Deux. I like his sideline to sideline pursuitability (just made up that word).

ND needs to offer him now. LB from Texas no brainier.

The next inline Mike LB after Moore and Werewolf.

Offer him based solely on his last name. Don't care about highlights.

With a last name like that it sounds like he should be cast on the Jersey Shore. He does get to the ball very fast.

Fun fact my high school was supposed to play in Ireland in front of ND, but our dumbass president said we couldn't raise the money when the football coach said he could have raised the money in 3 days.

Plays LB alot like a good RB runs . Instead of fighting off tackels he avoids them by picking his seams while moving toward the ball carrier. Very good speed along the line.

The only problem with this is that it's high-risk high-reward. It's usually a big play by him...if he makes the tackle...if he dodges blocks and misses then his team is down a man and you have o-lineman in the secondary blowing up your safeties and a RB taking it all the way.

Not to say I don't like the kid's film. I do. He does a good job flying to the ball, but at the same time a good job not over-pursuing.

I could see this being like the Joe Bolden situation from 2012. Kid maybe a little short.

How is this guy only a 3 star? Only down side I would say is he could be a little faster. But the dude looks like a baller

Does any of this even matter if Texas comes calling? I wonder what his interest in the Longhorns is?

Anyone know a reliable 40 time for him? He looks good on film, but if I was Diaco, I want speed, speed, and some more speed. The height(give or take 1-2 inches) and the weight(give or take 10-20 pounds) is not a difference maker... but a ILB running a 4.8/9 and one running a 4.5/6 is a huge difference when we play the non-service academies teams.... considering we have 5 ranked teams on the 2012 schedule(at this point) it is time to start matching the speeds of the SEC if we want to be in BSC games...

Should we stop recruiting Texas?

Umm, no. I just ask if this kid is a magnet to UT if they come calling. My guess is you've noticed that it happens w kids from Texas. I would like this kid to get an offer and hope he has real interest in ND.

Jesuit is an elite private school in Dallas. Plays against excellent Texas 5A competition for a school that has one of the smallest enrollments in 5A. Program is solid and the school is one that would produce kids that would fit in well at ND. I don't see why you wouldn't recruit him if you felt like he could play. Schools like these are a good way to recruit Texas and get a better toehold in this talent rich state.

kid even looks like baratti.

if he's good enough to play for clemson, he must be fast enough.
