'13 IL OT Colin McGovern (Notre Dame Signed LOI)

[irishff1014]

Wow i leave work to come home and we get 2 OL commits. Thats whats up!!

 

[eNDzone]

Thanks for getting this party started Colin . Welcome to the Irish.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Welmcome to ND Colin

IMO Elmer>McGovern>Bivin

Elmer is a top 50 player easily. IMO from everything I have read McGovern is really underrated and should be a top 100 player easily maybe to 50. Bivin is ranked right where he should be at 75.

 

[rtrn2glory]

i don't care what they're ranked we've got all 3 and they're all big time pickups

I really think it is unfair and unnecessary to try and rank our own commits, especially on the O-line. On our starting line last year, our best player was our lowest rated by recruiting services (Martin). These young men have plenty of time to grow and develop in stature, as a player, and as people. Let's be happy for each kid and their decision and root like hell for all of them.

Big fan of the #NotreDame offensive line recruiting haul right now. Seen them all in person at least once. Believe McGovern is underrated.

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

Damn great news on the commit!

 

[Me2SouthBend]

Congrats big man. Can't wait to see you don the Blue and Gold.

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

Awesome news. Congrats Colin! Go Irish!

I understand what you are saying, but NDPHILLY wasn't disrepecting just giving an idea of what scouts are putting out there.

 

[irishmarine]

Either way I am happy to have a good start to recruiting with a beast line. What rb isn't going to run begin these guys? Youth in the trenches in both sides almost gets me thinking we will win in the future.

 

[gkIrish]

Coming back to this news along with Bivin after driving 12 hours today makes me very happy

 

[Praytorian]

Loving it the way he says he doesn't have to make the future trips to the other schools.

 

[irishmarine]

Looks like he is going to be able to add about 30 lbs to his frame as well. Kids are hopefully able to see we are piecing together a winner here and want to be a part of history at nd

 

[SoJerseyIrish]

Always makes me feel good to hear that the magic of ND is still there......kid comes on campus with no intent to commit and then is blown away and commits. Nice to hear and now we just need to keep him for 10 1/2 months.......LOL

 

[ohara831]

Great to have him on the Irish! Good pick up! Loving the OL recruitment.

 

[BGIF]

I understand what you are saying, but NDPHILLY wasn't disrepecting just giving an idea of what scouts are putting out there.

No, not the scouts. He was giving his idea of where they should be ranked, note the "IMO".

 

[Ben E.]

Congrats Colin!!!

 

[Count_on_Me]

Great choice young man!!!

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Still shocked he committed on the visit Huge pickup for us. OSU fans are PISSED we got both Colin and Hunter.

 

[Irishman77]

Absolutely Awesome!!! Great decision Colin.

 

[ndcoltsfan2010]

Fantastic news! OL is looking great!

That makes this day even better.

 

[beryirish]

Welcome aboard. Pleasantly surprised to see someone I had no idea would commit, commit let alone it being a great player like McGovern. Great choice big guy!

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Collin, you got something special, (speed) for your size. I wish you the best using it for the Irish. Good luck, Nár lagaí Dia do lámh!

All Harry has done since he got here is get rave reviews from current players and be the position coach where we've grabbed 4 elite prospects for the next class. I realize he wasn't here for Elmer, but all the players, both current and incoming, love the guy. Great hire by BK.
