Camped at UNC last year

3 unofficial visits to UNC

Recently went to UNCs Junior Day

...UNC may be a player on this one

 

[NDPhilly]

I put this in the master list thread but i'll put it here to. His 4.52 was electrically timed at a Under Armour combine in June 2011. He also recorded a 37 inch vertical jump there.

 

[BeauBenken]

When did we offer? Today?

 

[NDPhilly]

Visiting this weekend

 

[Irishman77]

chris brown 2.0?

 

[Irish YJ]

Maybe 0.5 at this point. Watched 5 minutes of his highlights. Good size, and great vertical. Solid but not exceptional speed on tape, but was clocked 4.47 at the combine, so seems to be improving..... YAC was average or poor although that can be coached and should improve. He'll need to take a big step his senior year IMO.

To do what? He already has an offer.

The reply was to a comment that he was Chris Brown 2.0

 

[Emcee77]

Yeah I thought he looked good on film. Maybe not the spectacular plays people were expecting, but he came away with some nice catches despite defenders in tight coverage. I also liked that catch where he toed the sideline. Makings of a skilled receiver.

Yep, saw that catch too. Definite potential. I'd like to see him continue to improve his speed, while becoming more physical after the catch. Love the kid's name!

Ah I see. Don't think he's athletic as Chris but that's no knock on him. Chris is a freak athlete.

Give him a year with Longo and he'll be a PT player.

 

[NDPhilly]

At a Under Armour combine in June 2011 he clocked a 4.52 electicly timed 40. He also had a 37 inch Vert. To put that in perspective Mike Floyd had a 36.5 vert at the combine. Kid definitely has potential , just needs to add some strength.

Good points. One year with Longo and he will be ready to go. He has size and speed you can't teach.

 

[clashmore_mike]

Seems to be enjoying the visit

 

[clashmore_mike]

Discussed the possibility of early enrolling with Kelly. Enjoyed tour and meeting with the other coaches according to ISD. More coming later.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Just to add on from 247, UNC, UVA, and ND will be major players. Really felt like he fit in and said it felt like family.

 

[buddyirish]

sound like a good start. its good not to have too many kids on campus at once so we can focus on just a few big time players. a few years back when clausen took a visit weis didnt even shake that galipos hand for christ shake.

 

[Me2SouthBend]

Article on ISD! No visit news, all pre trip.

NC WR, Family Excited About ND Trip

 

[JD Irish]

Any news here? Thought his recruitment seemed to be gaining momentum following the smaller junior day early in March, but I haven't heard anything about him in a while.

 

[GBdomer]

would have been posted if there was.

A simple "no" or "nope" works grumpy pants

No, it wouldn't. I get frustrated to see "any new news?" posts because if there were news, it would be posted. On the Facebook page, I proposed an automatic ban for anyone asking that. Bottom line is that if there is news, it will be posted.

Well.....aren't we a happy ****in bunch this AM?????

Don't want to seem too grumpy but I agree. Bumping a thread to ask if there's news wastes everyone's time because a) whenever there is news, it is posted within moments, so b) when people see that a thread has been bumped, they check it, assuming that someone has just posted news, only to find that there is no news and nothing worthwhile has been posted. I have to get my IE fix in bits and pieces when I have a moment during the day, so I get frustrated when I waste my IE breaks checking threads that have nothing new of any substance in them. It may just be me but I think it's just courteous to the other members not to bump a thread if you have nothing to add to the discussion.

It seems pointless in theory but sometimes things do get missed. Ben Boulware had committed to Clemson and others were still on his thread talking about getting him on campus before it was updated of his committment. 95% of the time though the threads are kept up to date.

 

[beryirish]

....so what's the latest on this guy...haven't heard anything ; 0

 

[Fbolt]

Crying over it doesn't create any more news. If you want a forum with those rules, create it.

Back on point-I want this young man at ND!
