Kind of liked him at RB myself. Just sayin'

yeah he had one or two more highlights at RB also and is defiantly good but I dont see him beating out GA3, Carlisle, Mahone, and Russell or even Elliot? or Issac? or any other 4* prospect. like him better at any of the wide reciever positions taking Jet sweeps

while I hope it doesn't affect Issac, he did make a pt. to mention we are only taking one RB and if we have Onwualu a WR/RB and Ezekiel Elliot a RB/DB it will defiantly make him think

no way Issac commits before Elliot.

eithier whoever said (Kelly or Martin or Alford) we will only take one will have to tell him we are taking two now or they will have to tell someone they can not takethem

Needed that

So does the staff according to TJ. Said he would be a more physical version of Davonte Neal's role

Said he would have been wasting money by going to Michigan or OSU this week. He decided to visit Notre Dame and get what he wanted done.

That explains him being on campus this past week

Nice job closing by the staff on SB

IT'S A ST. PATRICK'S DAY MIRACLE!!!!! Not surprised at all, kinda expected it but it doesnt take away from the fact I'm stoked to have this kid!!!

 

[johnnykillz]

Yeah he also said Martin, Booker, and Kelly came in to meet with him on their vacation. Kelly had to rearrange travel plans to do so.

 

[IrishLax]

Very happy. I consider him a low 4 prospect personally and am pretty surprised he's only a 3 on Scout/247. Has really above average (not elite) measureables for a college WR and it's surprising that the top player in the whole state of Minnesota is only a 3.

 

[BeauBenken]

Can anyone find me any good highlights of him playing RB? The video on his first page is just of him playing WR, no?

Anyways, glad to have this young man aboard!

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Sweetness.

Continuing the tradition.

On the bang bang notre dame gang post of the photo

"who is this?"

"James Onwualu I'd think....not sure who is in the 10 jersey though "

Some hardcore intelligent fans in that group

 

[NDPhilly]

I want to smack someone for that second quote. I guess it's okay to be ignorant and not know a recruit by face, I get that, but to know that he is in the picture, yet you still can't tell that he is the one in the jersey and there are only two people in said picture? My goodness.

There should be an IQ test needed to post on Facebook.

Congrats James!

 

[rtrn2glory]

wonder what position he's being recruited for?

listed as an athlete on rivals and he's got the build to play in the secondary.

good problem to have.

 

[ohara831]

Excellent! Glad to have him on board!

 

[irishandy]

Congrats and welcome to the family James!! I don't think this hurts us with Ty Issac, if anything I would hope it would help, and that Ty would want to play with James.

 

[Irish YJ]

Could be wrong, but thinking he's looked at purely as a WR. Played a little RB, but everything I've read suggests he wants to follow Floyd's path. Doubt there's any impact to Ty. I like the fact he's been working out with Michael since end of season. Sounds like a good, smart, ND type of kid. Offers from Stanford, Vandy, and ND... you know he's got the IQ. Very fluid running vertically, and seems physical. Love it.

Welcome to ND!!!

 

[MNIrish14]

Really really happy about this commitment. Cretin turns out really high quality football players. Guarantee you he will be ready to come in and compete the minute he steps foot on this campus.

 

[Zbi]

Apparently I missed something. Last thing I read that he was committing tomorrow... and now I see he is a Notre Dame verbal.

 

[OCIrish]

Glad to have him committed to ND!!!!
