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

Well, if they are talking about recruiting for the defense side of the ball, hopefully he get excited about it, if not, that might hurt our chances of landing him if he doesn't want to play another position. But with his size and speed other schools may think the same way. He would definately be a big asset either way!



GO IRISH!!!!!!!!!!!

If you read back through this thread you'll find we've hashed the same stuff out some months back. Early on he was adamant that he would be a RB. Later he said he play anywhere.

B&G and Rivals already list him at 230 IF he's going to be a Safety he needs to push himself away from the table now. His growth potential is a big question mark. He could add 15 - 20 pounds in the offseason through weight training and come in at Te'o's size. Light for a DE. A year or 2 later me might be DE size.

He has a serious injury which will restrict weight training and conditioning. I'd say LB seems most likely but he could be a monster RB - depending on his rehab and growth.

As for him being a Mays type Safety, I don't ever recall Barr be reported with that kind of speed. IF anyone has could you provide a source.

Which is quick for a big man at OLB or RB but not as a Safety. Good not exceptional.

 

[jason_h537]

thats great speed for LB. Te'o was timed at 4.6 out of HS.

Any of you seen Rookie of the Year, if a broken arm can make him pitch faster, maybe Barr's injury will make him run faster!!! Yea, I know, it's just wishful thinking!




GO IRISH!!!!!!!!!!!

However for that to work properly your going to have to break his other leg.

 

[JefMaj]

Yeah, don't want him running in circles.

"Yeah Pat - he has the best first step off the ball in college..."

Exactly.

Anyone else still playing up the angle that he's already a silent commit to us?


I am.

You're about to hit the century mark.

Supercentury mark?

 

[jason_h537]

I dont believe in silent commits. Until he announces i wont assume i thing

 

[Domer4ever]

I really think with Barr we are looking at either an OLB or RB. Somebody brought up the DJ Williams comparison coming out of high school and I think that is a fair comparison. Barr is a must get for us and I think he is Irish when all is said and done (assuming we keep winning football games).

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

UCLA is rumored to be the biggest competition to Notre Dame to land Barr. Based on that, it has to make you smile to see the train wreck that is UCLA this year.

I would really like to see him commit here in the next few weeks. Anyone know if he is scheduled to take any other Officials?

 

[The Polish Irishman]

OSU-Michigan is he only other scheduled visit for now.

 

[JefMaj]

He's a 5 here - injury or not. His uncle and dad can tell him how great this place is.

Regarding the UCLA train wreck, remember that we have had some of our best classes in years when the team was a mess. Look at the class we got 2 years ago. Kids see early opportunity and an experienced coaching staff at UCLA. Also, we are recruiting him strictly as a linebacker, whereas UCLA is probably telling him that he can play wherever he wants to.

With that said, I really would like to have him at ND and I still expect him to be Irish.

Mime walks into room. Looks at front of IE crowd. Points at photo of Anthony Barr. Raises both hands to face, clasps both over mouth. Begins to nod. Furiously.

What did mime say?

Censored.

Let's remember this is a Recruit's Profile.

 

[jason_h537]

ND is recruiting him as an athlete. He talked to 3 position coaches on his visit

That is what I read also. I would assume OLB, DE, and RB?

 

[jason_h537]

Just In... Barr is officially down to 2 schools. UCLA and Notre Dame. He will Visit UCLA after his season is over then decide

Good news, but not real surprising. I would think the choice would be obvious with his family history and the direction of the two programs, but perhaps he is one of these kids looking to blaze his own trail. Hope to hear an ND commit here in the not too distant future.
