'13 IN OT/DT Darius Latham (Indiana Verbal)

[Grahambo]

Dumb question alert:

Is this Scott Booker's cousin?

No, that's Dorian Johnson. Not a dumb question at all though. I get Dorian Johnson, Donovan Munger and Darius Latham all mixed up.

 

[BeauBenken]

No, that's Dorian Johnson. Not a dumb question at all though. I get Dorian Johnson, Donovan Munger and Darius Latham all mixed up.

And I would be singing my way to NSD if we landed all three of those guys.

Strange as it may sound, I hope that the Ice Princess gets them all mixed up during a telecast.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Still in his Top 5 but we may have hit a snag. He wants to play defense and we are only recruiting him for offense.

Latham has a top five of the Irish, Vols, Florida, Ohio State and Wisconsin.

 

[Irishman77]

looks like he could play defense to me.

He needs to know that ND is looking at him at big skill..

 

[NDhoosier]

If we get a decent a OL haul with: Elmer, Bivin, McGovern, and one more... I dont see why he cant be recruited as a DL..

Because the staff likes him better at OG

 

[BeauBenken]

I think he has higher upside on the O-line. Not to mention a better chance to play considering how we've been getting constant high quality D-linemen in each class.

Who knows though, we could bring this guy in on O and then move Jarron to O and Darius to D. The coaches are going to put you in the best place for the team and you to succeed.

 

[Irishman77]

Hopefully the staff is now telling Latham our OL is full and how we would love him at DT. Along with D.Johnson we would be ridiculous on OL and DL.

In my opinion, you still take Johnson, Latham, Munger if they want to commit. They could always switch to the D-line. And there's no way the staff would turn down pocic

 

[Irishman77]

with the lack of DL targets early on I wonder if staff thought this was going to happen.

Pocic isn't coming. doesnt seem to have as much interest in ND as he did earlier in the process.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

This guy could play anywhere, his motivation to play the position could be the difference.

Good point, and just to follow. Guys that come stay high on the Irish. They never go away through the process. Pocaic is gone, I would take Johnson, Latham, etc., anyway.

 

[ErieIrish13]

Oh, I didn't know that. But that's fine with me. We have a good group of OL as it is.

 

[ChiRish]

What do people think? Definitely the kind of athlete who could switch over. And want to keep the elite Indiana kids.

Definitely agree with this. IMO if it is a toss up between an Indiana recruit and another for the staff, you have to go with the in-state kid to keep making these important inroads here.

 

[NDPhilly]

Latham didn't make it to junior day. This probbably is because he wants to play DL while we like him for OL.

 

[50milesSE ND]

Ya we have to go after the kids in state when at the level we usually go out of state for. Notre Dame is national, but it's nice to have home grown when we can.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Some good news from Wiltfong, Denbrock has been in to see him and we are now recruiting him as a DL like he wanted.

Tennessee leads at the moment after a great visit there but we are very much in the mix with Florida, OSU, and Wisconsin.

[Irishnuke]

Seems like if we push hard enough, he's ours to lose.

 

[NDPhilly]

Wiltfong doesn't think we are a big player here anymore.

 

[clashmore_mike]

What changed in the last 45 minutes?

No kidding.....wtf

 

[NDPhilly]

That was a update from a Tennessee site and Latham mentioned ND but Wiltfong doesn't believe we are a big player.

Sounds like Tennessee may lead. Lathams coach said Darius is showing great interest in Tennessee & loves Coach Sal & what he is selling him on in our defense.

I guess it was a tweet from Ryan Callahan --- Tennessee sports reporter for 247
