It sounds like Coach Brown was one of the major contributing factors in Sean's commitment. In his Power Hour interview Sean said that Coach Brown has a ton of energy, and that he not only sat down with him, but also a whole room full of recruits and helped them break down film.

I recall a comment from last years recurting class on how defensive players normally are laking in the classroom. Apperantly not the case with Sean, sure glad to see a defensive recurit that dosen't have to worry about grades to get in @ the greatest school in North America

Rivals has a free video up of Sean on the front page of their FB Recruiting section.

I got a kick out of this part:

Corwin, he's going to do great things with the defense and I want to be part of something special. I think the defense will be pretty amazing in the next couple years. With a good recruiting class this year, it will be exactly right up there with the offense.

I have a feeling that'll be the last time he'll be calling our DC "Corwin". From now on, it'll be "Coach Brown", or wind sprints.

Watched his highlights and have this to say. Whoa, a big DT type like him rushing on the outside is impressive and perfect preview for what he'll be doing at ND. Another thing I noticed was a play where he was lined up against Pocic and just threw him to back and to the side and then proceeded to sack Brett Nagel, two future big time D-1 players. Now after seeing that Pocic clip I'll have to agree with the decision of not offering him because we are going after the big dogs with only 1 OL spot left most likely. Cwynar is a beast and most definently will be in the rivals 250 next week. IMO should be a top 100 player, but I don't control such lists.

Yeah he's definently one my fav's as well. He was our first DL to commit and it was huge back then and at his size being a rush DE is just crazy. He's training now to gain muscle and at the same time losing fat and doing speed drills. Cwybest will be scary to say the least. When a guy has to gain weight you worry about his speed and ability might be lessened, but when you're already at the max weight for your future position and you've gotta get stronger and gain muscle and lose fat while getting faster it's just a great thing. I'm rambling on, but this guy has to get more replies! He's in last place on the current Irish commit list in replies to their own thread.

IK, you're right, he needs more replies. Also, he's got a great motor, from the videos that I watched, he just kept coming, no matter where the play went. I think he's going to have a great career at ND. I'm also excited that he was our 1st D-line commit in this class. With the talent we've collected in this class, I don't ever remember a D-line class being this good for ND. I can't wait to watch them play in the future.


Go Irish!!!!!

Go back and watch his film some more and watch him school Pocic like 3 or 4 times. I'm happy now that we never offered Pocic, he looks kind of soft.

I think I've watched his film the most out of our commits. The last play on a rivals highlight looks like he breaks the kid's leg. Guy is nasty and I love it.

If he didn't commit early I'd gaurentee he'd have offers from the entire Big 10 and beyond. But Weis evaluates talent a little earlier than others :pity: ...That's a shot at a certain coach named Urb....well nevermind.

From the Chicago Tribune, on Cwynar's team (he gets a mention at the end):

Marian Central's football exploits belie the reality of the program.

When the 16th-ranked Hurricanes, last year's Class 5A runners-up, travel to Marmion Academy on Saturday, you'll see only 24 players in uniform.

Actually, coach Ed Brucker can use only 23, because starting quarterback Jon Budmayr is out three games with a pulled hamstring. The varsity numbers are so low that the Hurricanes practice against the sophomore team, which has 20 players.

"It just seems like more and more kids at our school are going out for golf and playing (club) tennis rather than football," said Brucker, who will have seven players going both ways.

"Our backup quarterback (Andy Stochl), who transferred from Grant, was just learning the offense as a receiver. Now he's the quarterback, and he also has to play in the secondary on defense."

Stochl will get plenty of support from Notre Dame-bound offensive tackle Sean Cwynar (6-4, 290) and fellow tackle Cody O'Neill (6-3, 275).

From a preview of his team's game this week:

St. Edward (0-4, 0-2) at Marian Central (4-0, 2-0)
Click to expand...
When: 7:30 p.m. today at George Harding Field

Outlook: It will be a monumental upset if St. Edward snaps its 24-game losing streak against the Hurricanes, the No. 1 team in Class 5A, but these hard-working players from St. Edwrd aren't as easy to knock off as they were a year ago. The Green Wave is winless, but three of those losses have come by 8 combined points. It would be very easy for Marian Central to look past this game based on last year's result alone. "I hope they look at last year's score and think this is last year's team," St. Edward coach Mike Rolando said. "Our kids have confidence they can play with teams. The last couple of years it was more a deer-in-the-headlights thing, but now they know they're a good team. Our kids feel they can play with them. They still feel they haven't shown how good they are and they're smart enough to know we're better than our record shows. We've been one play away from beating three teams. We have to wear their big boys down and use our size and speed to our advantage." Wear Marian's big boys down? Consider this: Marian dressed 22 players last weekend at Marmion. St. Edward's roster consists of 26 players. However, none of those players is of the caliber of Marian offensive tackle Sean Cwynar (6-4, 284), who is verbally committed to Notre Dame. He paves the way for Marian running back T.J. Pappas, who has 272 yards and 4 touchdowns. Hurricanes quarterback Jon Budmayr will miss this game with an injury. His understudy is junior Andy Stochl, who presents his own problems. "In my opinion (Stochl) is a better runner than Budmayr," Rolando said. "And he can throw the ball 60 yards in the air."

Via BGI:

Sean Cwynar (DT): Cwynar has helped lead his team to a 5-0 and into a position to make a deep playoff run. He has been a force along the defensive line and has accounted for several tackles for loss this season. According to a recent opponent’s coach, Cwynar has drastically improved his technique since debuting as a sophomore.

I have just heard that Cwyner is going to be an early enrollee, don't ask me for a link because it is just what I have heard from a freind of mine that works at his school. But, I am pretty sure that this is true. Looks like he will be the only one too.

great news. It is definitely a position of need and this can only improve us as a defensive line and football team next year. Defensive line is going to be up for grabs depending on where Kuntz plays. I'd say besides Kuntz the other two spots on the DL will be wide open come spring ball.

That's good news, it also means that CW could take 26 in this class if he really wanted to.
