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

[irishandy]

That would be great if Barr committed, especially right before the USC game.

That would be great if Barr committed, especially right before the USC game.

It'd be great, but don't count on it. He's in a wait and see game with ND. If they lose he will not come. He's not the lock to ND that a lot of people pegged him to be. He has a real interest in Cal and UCLA. Momma will be pushing education (she's a h.s. principal in the SoCal area), but if they lose and CW is out he ain't coming...

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

Sounds reasonable. Lets just win and see what happens. Go Irish!

Article in Rivals today talking with Barr

He basically talked about how much fans want him to commit and he understands. His family would love for him to go. He knows all he needs to about the school but wants to meeet the players and see how he would fit in.

Actually sounded like he was really high on ND in the article but it was a Notre Dame guy writing it.

I've been wanting to land this kid for awhile now...hopefully we can get him to commit after the weekend. Thanks for the update Polish. Always enjoy reading your input on things. Just remembered my Username and password. So now I can become a part of the board.

Msg to Mr. Barr,

If you don't commit after being at that game, something is wrong. It's wins like this that make a ND fan a fan for life. Reminds me of the '92 PSU game (the Snow Bowl). I was 12 and my dad scored 2 tickets. Row 1 seats 1 and 2 in the end zone where Bettis scores the TD from Mirer. And uncle Reggie scores the 2 point conversion to win. The last thing my dad said before the conversion play was "don't run onto the field". I had no choice...If you watch any of the replays you can see me on the field...chasing my dad as the entire endzone rushed the field to crowd Reggie and the spot he scored. And I still get the question to this day. How can I be an ND fan and graduate from Penn State? Only my dad and I could probably answer that question after that day.

Sincerely,
An ND fan for LIFE

In an odd coincidence, I was really high at ND at times.

Per Rivals

Barr had a great vist. Said he thought about committing but didnt want to make a decision on the spot. he was hosted by Tyler Stockton and said he loved the team and can see himself fitting in with these guys. Talked to Tenuta, Alford, and Hart because he can play all 3 positions.

Does he have any other OV's set up for other schools? And if so where at?

I think he going to visit scUM and Cal before making a decision.

 

[jason_h537]

has said he wants to visit both but no official plans yet

Funny thing is, I use to respect UofM and never lower my level to call them scUM but after hearing Dick Rod say he saw nothing wrong with what Jonas Mouton did and won't be punished. I lost all respect for them and now they're scUM.

They've ALWAYS been scUM, even before Dick Rod arrived!

Anthony Barr visits Notre Dame, not ready to decide yet

Anthony Barr visits Notre Dame, not ready to decide yet

Per ESPN 10/5

ESPNU 150 athlete Anthony Barr (Torrance, Calif./Loyola) made an official visit to South Bend this weekend and spoke with ESPN affiliate Web site IrishSportsDaily.com about the current status of his recruitment.

"Of course (committing) crossed my mind, but I don't think I'm ready yet. I still have to check out a couple more places and see how that goes, but it was a good experience and I had a real good time."

Barr is slated to visit Michigan for the Ohio State game and Cal. He's also considering USC and UCLA but may not need to make official visits to those local programs.

 

[PADOMERNUT]

I saw him on Saturday. He was in a cart and his foot in a boot, but he watched the players walk from Church and then rode the cart up to the stadium.

Anthony Barr – Until otherwise proven, I say he’s headed for South Bend. UCLA is the main competition, but that is a bad football team right now.

[WhoDeyIrish]

He actually looks like he has some break away speed Jason. I'm not saying hes lighting fast but I hadn't really watched much on him yet...but he looks like he can actually run a bit.

 

[jason_h537]

Iv'e seen him play twice. This kid is absolutely awesome and i wish he would commit already.

Yeah I'd say this would be one of our biggest landings thus far. I think he will have an impact on this team from day 1.

 

[jason_h537]

Maybe not day 1. He is coming off a pretty bad leg injury and it is still unclear where he will play. He will be a household name when it is all over though. Reminds me of DJ Williams, he was a badass RB at De La Salle then was moved to LB at Miami and dominated.

 

[WhoDeyIrish]

I know he is coming off a bad leg injury but it happened early right. I think he will be fine once the season starts next year. I'm not really sure on the time table. I'd almost like to see this kid move to safety personally. If he could learn how to play that position by his Sophmore year we could have a nice big physical player, I think he definitely has the speed to do it. Intangibles probably too. Linebacker is also a possibility but who knows we will just to see how he performs. Our safetys flat out suck, in my opinion. I know McCarthy makes a lot of tackles, but he just isn't that good in my opinion. He makes big plays sometimes but kills us a lot to. I won't even get into Harrison Smith. We need a dominate safety roaming around back there.

 

[jason_h537]

I do not see him at Safety. He is 6'3-4 220-30 right now. He played a lil LB early this summer at a 7-7 tournie but never really camped after that. We are in on some pretty good Safeties this year so it shouldnt be a problem. Kyle McCarthy is the man but he needs help

I mean I don't think we should eliminate any possibility here though. Think about Taylor Mays hes a linebacker roaming around back there. McCarthy needs a lot of help, and he is slow on top of all that.

 

[jason_h537]

Taylor Mays runs a 4.3 40 and Barr is as big as Mays is now coming out of HS

Very true. I'm just saying. What about defensive end?

 

[jason_h537]

DE is a very real possibility. I think the staff sees him as a OLB or DE but RB is not out of the question. Really depends on how much bigger he gets. Personally i think with his athleticism OLB is the best spot
