Offered per Rivals
Notre Dame wants him as either Linebacker or Fullback but appears to be a USC lean

I think there are a lot of USC leans but are there a lot of USC slots available?

NDin LA, jason, or anybody familiar with the Trojans available scholarships versus current commits and the likelies?

 

[jason_h537]

They are pretty good at keeping consistant talent coming in so id they take around 20 and they need linebackersthis year after missing last year

According to Scout they have 7 verbals to date.

They don't have many offers out to LBs:
OLB - #8 Josh Shirley, #9 Christian Jones, #12 Justin Maclin, Fortt

MLB - #1 Luc, #3 Pullard
(Fehoko has no offer)


I don't know if they have offers out to players ranked at another position.

 

[jason_h537]

Fortt has been offered by USC per Rivals and Tony Jefferson is being recruited as a linebacker by USC, Safety by the Irish. Anthony Barr is being recruited as Linebacker by USC and the Irish.

Oh and Pullard of course

I hear they missed out on a pretty good LB from Hawaii last year...... HA !

How far we have fallen!

Is there no NBC in L.A.?


Irish offer Cali athlete Hayes Pullard IrishSportsDaily
College Football Recruiting On the Trail 2010 - ESPN.

I never thought Notre Dame would come in personally and offer me. They're like a new school that I've never heard of. I want to try something new, like maybe different than the USC's and the UCLA's.

...

A good relationship with the coaches, to be a part of a winning program, and to get better and be ready for the next level physically and mentally.

...

 

[jason_h537]

I think he meant it more as an unexpected offer from a school he did not see recruiting him. Something vastly different from the schools he grew up around in Cali.

 

[GOLDENISTHYTATE]

The Trojans did take two pretty good lbs last year in Frankie Telfort and Marquis Simmons, but in losing out on Te'o and Burfict they definitely are trying to put more blue chippers in place for a linebacking corp that was drafted in the first three rounds of the NFL draft.

I'd love to have Pullard as a FB since we haven't been able to put a good one on the field since Powers-Neal.

We haven't had a good one since Marc Edwards.

The Trojans were recruiting Telfort as a Safety but that might have changed since they lost out on Te'o and Burifect.

 

[BGIF]

I liked Powers-Neal especially considering how he was used.


Marc Edwards was the last GREAT ND FB!

Smelled the goal line as a ball carrier or blocker.

Power runner, devastating blocker, great hands on the delay.

ND's goal line offense would have been a lot more powerful if ACE had been either a power runner, devastating blocker, or a pass threat. Just one would have made a difference.

 

[GOLDENISTHYTATE]

The Trojans were recruiting Telfort as a Safety but that might have changed since they lost out on Te'o and Burifect.

I believe they kept him at LB because they had somewhere like 4 safety commits.

Patrick Hall, T.J. McDonald, Jawanza Starling, and Byron Moore.

Will those 4 all stay Safeties at USC or will one or more be moved to LB, especially a with 2 top prospects lost last year?

Pullard To Decide in January

Pullard To Decide in January

Per Allen Wallace 7/24

Although linebacker/running back Hayes Pullard still denies a leader, he continues to favor USC, UCLA, Arizona State, Washington and Notre Dame. “I pretty much always followed USC and UCLA,” Pullard said. “They are both at home and right in my backyard. I have a love for them both, so I don’t really separate them in my mind.” The Bruins were Pullard’s first offer.

 

[jason_h537]

Biggins 7/29

Pullard has set his first OV for Washington Sep. 5th

"Notre Dame is another school I definitely want to visit and I'm checking out Stanford, Arizona State and Nebraska too. I'm not sure if I'll officially visit SC or UCLA because they're so close but I'll for sure attend their games and visit the campus for an unofficial visit during the year."

 

[texas fighting irish]

I just counted him out i thought he was west coast all the way didnt know he had an intrest in Notre Dame.

 

[jason_h537]

I'd still say he will stay out west but if he does visit you never know. Plus he is supposed to be good friends with Shaq Evans.

9/8 Per ESPN's WeAreSC.com

College Football Recruiting On the Trail 2010 - ESPN

Hayes Pullard has a short list of 6: ND UW USC UCLA ASU and UF (no offer).

"USC is very talented. They're a powerhouse team and they're always fired up. UCLA is calm, but they're a powerhouse team also. They're come silent but deadly. Arizona State isn't scared of nobody. They're always fired up and they always come to play. Notre Dame is a new poison that I just found out about. They have a high graduation rate, which I love. With Florida I love the speed and the intensity. I love the SEC."

Pullard also shared what he's seeking, "Good graduation rate. A good business program and a winning program at that. A coach that's going to ride me until the end and be able to play on the next level."

College Football Recruiting On the Trail 2010 - ESPN

Hayes Pullard has a short list of 6: ND UW USC UCLA ASU and UF (no offer).

If he goes to USC, while he's looking for a good graduation rate, I'm going to puke,

USC = 54%
ND = 94%

Same thing with FL. I won't mind if he goes to a middle-of-the-pack school as far as grad rates go, but don't say that and then turn around and go to a school that barely graduates more than half their players...

Profile Updated

 

[NDinL.A.]

Visiting for the UW game, per ISD. He's friends with Shaq Evans. Won't decide until very late in the process. Dude is yoked up...

 

[jason_h537]

Nice. Don't think we will land him but kid is a good player. Would be a great steal

 

[The Polish Irishman]

Excited to get this kid on Campus. Watch some flim and he is a stud.

Who knows with these Cali Kids? We have a nice connection going on.

 

[acerider8]

Where is this kid projected to play? Linebacker?
