I actually played against this kid freshman year because our freshman team played theirs and man, let me tell you, that kid was a tank, i specifically remember how fast he was and how hard he hit. He definately can get it done.

 

[GoshenGipper]

Recently picked up an official offer from ND.

 

[johnnd05]

Damn. Kid looks talented, fast, and SMART. Just the kind of guy we need.

 

[irishunclebill]

Sweat's going to be a tough one to nab. Seems to be leaning Big Ten. (PSU,OSU, Michigan) He also has offers from Wisconsin, Pitt, Syracuse, and the double cockwad.

 

[Irishknight1023]

I have a source that he's strongly leaning ND now after JR day. It won't be an immediate commit, but sometime within a few weeks. I'm not blowing smoke up anybodies a**, nothings crystal, but i would definently feel confident in him as much as everyone does with McDonald

"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!"

After listening to his Power Hour interview it really seems like that is a high possibility. He seemed to be really impressed with all aspects of ND. He said that he really connected with Coach Brown, and Travis Thomas who played at the main Rival for Sweat's high school. Andrew also hung out with Coach Brown during the evening at the Bengal Bouts. He still has visits scheduled to O$U, PSU, Pitt, and Florida in the near future but he would like to make a decision before his Sr. season, maybe even as soon as late March or early April.

I know this sounds selfish, but I want 5 or 6 LBs this year. I know that's not really feasible, but man, if we get McDonald, Sweat, Filer, and Beal, then we'd have no room for Nagel or Poz. I know that's not a bad situation, but so many quality athletes I'd hate to have to turn back.

Knight, thanks for the tip on Sweat also, he would be a tremendous and much needed pickup!

I think all those linebackers would be great, but I think Beal is going to be a tough one to get. He has a lot of ties to the BC program, much like Brian Toal did when he was coming out of high school. Plus, O'Brien was a lazy recruiter, and from the looks of it, Jagodzinski isn't.

I'd love to add Hale to that list, but I think he's all OSU.

 

[Irishknight1023]

i used to think that too but that is not the case now...give it time like i said a few weeks

Who are you referring to? Beal or Hale?

Andrew Sweat is an upstanding guy who would fit in very well with our program's goals and characters. We have a pretty good shot at landing Sweat, who would be an awesome addition.

A week after attending ND's Junior Day, Sweat spent last weekend at the OSU Junior Days with the likes of Mike Adams, Jake Stoneburner, and Michael Brewster. Sweat's comments afterward do not sound particularly good. He said ND was his favorite after he visited here, but that he was more impressed with OSU. It's just one interview, but Sweat who has lots of unofficial visits scheduled is starting to sound like Sam McGuffie, wherever he was last is his favorite.

Anything to this, Irishknight1023?

 

[Irishknight1023]

he doesnt have a favorite anymore, hes up the air as he put it

 

[Irishknight1023]

he became good friends with cwynar at jr. day and cwynar is constantly in his ear

 

[Jason Pham]

Andrew's recruiting is still open with both Notre Dame and Ohio State as his leaders. Let's not draw conclusions based on him 'being impressed' with Ohio State.

 

[stonebreakerwasgod]

Some of you guys remind me of Donald Sutherland in the movie: Kelly's Heroes. "What's with all the negative waves, man"??

 

[RichardRiot]

Some of you guys remind me of Donald Sutherland

That guy is a must get; he will be huge in the 3-4!!!! Think he will be a Rivals 5*???

Like I told Andrew, I would throw a 'Welcome Andrew Sweat to Notre Dame' party if he commits. I think he's a high 4* if not a 5* but I don't care too much about star ratings.

I would love to get Sweat too, but I was actually tallking about Donald Sutherland!!!! Kind of mocking the whole must get tag on guys who haven't even played a Senior down yet!!!

Oh great thanks for making me look like an idiot. Haha.

Nah! just makes my attempt at humor look even more lame!!!

 

[Jason Pham]

Just wanted to reassure everyone. With visits to Florida, USC, Alabama, and Penn State coming up. We are still in Andrew's good graces with Ohio State right up there with Notre Dame. It's still early in his recruiting process and Andrew wants to make sure he makes the right decision.

 

[Jason Pham]

Solid source says Notre Dame might not be on Andrew's top 3 anymore. Will confirm later.

FWIW- In a story published today, Sweat still lists ND along with OSU, PSU, and Michigan as his four favorites. However, he is on his way to Gainesville this weekend to visit with the Cockwad who also recently offered him, so that list is very likely to change again next week. Andrew is now saying that he plans on making a decision in June, not August as he had previously stated.

 

[marv81s]

after all that Fla Univ trim gets throw in his face this next visit, if he isn't a gator in June, I'll be shocked.

Of coarse I see him changing his mind after Fla loses some games this year and everyone stops sucking on that Dicked Faced Putz's dong so much.

 

[Irishknight1023]

haha

 

[brownkj002]

His myspace page is a tOSU background fwiw. It looks like Cywnar and Braxton are on him about going to ND.
