He needs to work on that max bench press

He needs to work on that max bench press

Sometimes its not all about strength but i would like to see that up a bit

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Look at his offer list.

 

[arrowryan]

Look at his offer list.

I know but maxing out at 255 is not very impressive

 

[Sherm Sticky]

This is the type of Jersey kid we need to get...Kelly please get into jersey

 

[beryirish]

You got to think 1) He is only a junior so he has another year before he even gets to college to up it 2) Maybe it hasn't been updated from his sophomore year.

Looking at the offer list...if some of the elite schools in the SEC already offered a kids from New Jersey then I can see promise in him.

 

[Buster Bluth]

Literally 90% of recruits have their profiles start out with "great name" or "weak bench numbers brah." It boggles my mind.

For real. Even if the guy's name is Bob Smith you hear a bunch of guys talk about how awesome his name is...

Generally defensive lineman have good leg strength and offensive lineman have upper body.

It's really annoying isn't it.

I'm still waiting for Heywood Jablome to get an offer.

This kid has a crazy cool name.

Anybody notice that bench press?

 

[Ironman8]

#127 overall prospect in initial 24/7 class of '13 rankings

 

[NDPhilly]

Diaco invited him to Junior Day.

Said he has always followed Notre Dame since he was a little kid.

Said Diaco wants him as a hybrid OLB/DE so he is being recruited form the CAT.

Article on ISD.

Sickels Is High On ND

“Everyone knows about the education Notre Dame offers and how prestigious a degree from there is,” said Sickels after he received his Irish offer. “I remember having the picture of Rudy on my wall growing up and when you thought of Notre Dame, you thought of football greatness. Education will be the most important thing I look at when choosing a school; because you could get hurt during the first practice and never play again in your life.”

 

[Sherm Sticky]

God reading that makes me love this kid. I love this kids attitude and his film. This is a must get next year!

 

[Grahambo]

"He's at the top of my list."

 

[felkey72]

What are our needs for next year? I am thinking RB and LB for sure.

 

[pkt77242]

DT, OL and QB (if we miss on Kiel and Fuller) along with what you already mentioned.

Any word on this kid? He is one of "sherms favorites" this cycle.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

[The Polish Irishman]

PSU is leader and will visit other schools including ND. May decide before summer accoding to ISD

 

[beryirish]

Man...

If I were to tell you that Michigan has a coach entering his second year, Ohio State fired their coach for NCAA violations and PSU fired their coach for a sex scandal wouldn't you think ND would be sitting pretty with Midwest/Northeast recruits???

Not the case here...bummer. Let's get these junior days in and get a better look at where ND stands with these studs.
