'10 CA LB/Ath Anthony Barr (UCLA Commit)

[WabashFalcon]

Mike Farrel and others have been saying that Barr in reality is a silent commit to us. Most of this is due to the fact that Pete Carrol has had trouble getting his attention. Hope its true but consider the source

Don't care if Hitler said it. Holy hell that is fantastic news... I don't care who said it.

 

[IrishAddiction]

Sounds good to me too, great to hear. Never been a big fan of silent commits, but hell ND has been hurt enough times by public solid commits that i will take it.

Barr is a must have for us. It seems like he's going to be a stud playing any position. Go Irish!

 

[jason_h537]

Its only a rumor don't get tooe xcited. He also said James Hurst would be Irish

 

[WabashFalcon]

I can back up the James Hurst assertation. Weis and Company have been on his nuts from day one... the Verbal to North Carolina did little to stop them from keeping the full-court press on. Word is, Alums are telling James that ND's Pre-Med track is just as good (if not better) than NC's Kinesthesiology program. They are hapring on the ability for ND grads to get into grad school, the depth of the conversation, etc, etc, etc..


Would love to see us snatching this big o'le boy from the heart of Indiana.

 

[dyrtdogg]

I'd love to have Hurst, but I haven't heard word one about his being anything other than solid with NC. Throw in the fact that his brother is transferring there and I don't see it.

P.S. Whoops, forgot what thread I was on. Mods, feel free to move this to the appropriate spot.

 

[jason_h537]

Also that Hurst is not a native son of Indiana.

Was just told that Anthony Barr suffered a pretty severe ankle injury early in the first quarter tonight. His mother took him to the hospital for Xrays. His team, without their star, then got waxed by Mission Viejo. Thoughts and prayers to you Mr. Barr...

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

I hope he gets well soon and is able to go back to tearing it up on the field.

 

[NDinL.A.]

The team was told yesterday that he'll be out for the season. What a horrible break for the kid. Unbelievable. What a horrible weekend.

There is no bright side to this, other than he'll probably be Irish because our guys always miss their senior seasons due to injury...

 

[WabashFalcon]

What happened? Bone break? Ligament get torn in twain?

 

[jason_h537]

Thats fucked up. I hope he gets better soon and the Irish will take you regardless. Love this kid.

College Football Recruiting On the Trail 2010 - ESPN

ESPNU 150 athlete Anthony Barr (Torrance, Calif./Loyola) has suffered a broken ankle and is not expected to play again this season, the Los Angeles Times reports.

"I would say it's doubtful he'll be back this season," Coach Jeff Kearin said Sunday. "I'm so devastated for the kid."

The injury could require surgery but Kearin does not believe Barr will experience lingering effects after rehabilitation.

Barr originally sustained the injury during last weekend's loss to Mission Viejo, Calif.

Notre Dame, USC, UCLA, California and Michigan are the finalists for his signature.

Kearin said the surgery performed by team doctor Kevin Ehrhart "went great."
Barr was injured on a nine-yard carry Friday night against Mission Viejo. He will probably have a two- to three-month rehabilitation period.

I knew it, this kid is all irish. All of our recruits get injured their senior seasons.

On a serious note though, i really do feel sorry for this guy. Hes a hell of a player and his team will surely miss him.

 

[The Polish Irishman]

ND has been in contact with Barr. No surprise ND will still honor its scholarship offer.

Good to know. Wish him all the best. Love this kid

 

[BGIF]

Jason Sapp, BGI, has a piece on Barr in the current BGI edition. Barr had surgery for the broken fibula on 9/13. Definitely gone for the season. Doctors told him it would take 10 weeks to mend. He may be available for the playoffs. That will be determined as he rehabs.

He has a Top 5 of CAL, UM, ND, UCLA, and USC. Since the injury UM, ND, and UCLA have contacted him to confirm their offers still stand. "It's great to see that the schools are after me think of me as more than just an athlete."

Barr still plans on taking an Official to ND on Oct 3 for UW. He hasn't scheduled any other visit yet but plans officials to CAL and UM. He'll probably take unofficials to UCLA and USC.

He's not in a hurry to make a decision. His parents ND roots won't enter into his decision. "My parents made their decisions on a school and I'll make mine."

I may not be the only one but it feels like it, i think anthony barr would make a tremendous safety. I picture Taylor Mays, who is built like a linebacker and runs like a safety. Barr is 6-4 225 lbs and he runs like a running back i would love to see him at safety if he becomes Irish. Sean Taylor(r.i.p.) also comes to mind.

 

[jason_h537]

Do not see him as a safety. he will continue to grow. I would love to see him play OLB with his size and athleticism but most seem to think he will grow into DE.

 

[irish4ever]

I don't care where he plays other than on the same side as the Irish!

 

[The Polish Irishman]

Anyone think we can get to commit this weekend?

I think there is a chance, very slim, but......................

 

[Junkhead]

When he got injured, I figured he'd go to ND. We'll see, have a good feeling. Maybe the injury makes a player think about life after football as well.

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

All of them should be thinking about life after footbal Unfortunately, I don't think enough do.

 

[jason_h537]

I would love a commit after the game but he has kept his recruitment very quiet.

 

[Junkhead]

All of them should be thinking about life after footbal Unfortunately, I don't think enough do.

I can't blame them too much, when I was 18, I wasn't worried about more than the next weekend. It's nice to see guys like Floyd who seem mature for their age. Hopefully Barr is like that.

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

I'm with you.
