There is something on rivals about Barr setting a visit. I saw it on their twitter, but can't read the article (not a member).

There is article on rivals with Anthony talking about the Kelly hire, but I don't have premium access. Anyone care to offer a brief synopsis of the article?

Nothing new just that he thinks it's a good hire, and respects Kelly for what he has accomplished, also likes that someone is in place so ND can see where there are heading. Says he's open to whatever position the new coach sees him at. Waiting to hear from coach to get a better guage on him. Can't say it's real groundbreaking. Still sounds like. Two horse race with us and the Bruins. Let's hope not to lose another recruit to Cali, especially with this guys longterm potential.

Rivals lists him as only having two colleges left on his list that he is both high on (UCLA and ND)...Scout.com says Notre Dame is at the "top of his list".

Watching this kid on tape, he looks absolutely amazing. I can see why we'd want to convert him, but I really think he should stay on the offensive side of the ball after watching a bit of footage from his games.

According to scout.com, ND is his first choice.

Though I think there are arguments to be made that he should play on defense, I really think his offensive skill is just too great and that we should keep him at RB possibly.

He's down to UCLA and ND, that has been established for quite some time. Both are recruiting him as an athlete. According to ISD, Kelly called him last week and they talked, and Barr is looking forward to meeting with him in an in-home visit early next month. Barr liked what Kelly had to say, and Kelly told him he sees him as an offensive player, a RB who will also catch the ball in a variety of routes. Barr also sees himself as an offensive player but isn't adverse to playing defense...

I can't remember which coach said it but you always want your best athletes on defense

Ah!! I'd love to see him on defense, however, again, I think BK is slightly ahead of me in the judging talent category, so I will trust him :)! Either way, I would just love to have him above anything... kid's a beast! Thanks for the info!

Per ISD Alford has paid him a visit and he has a visit scheduled to UCLA on Jan 15th and his decision is expected sometime after that.

Haha, I'll certainly trust Kelly much more than any of us with the final judgment on whether he plays offense or defense, I don't think many would disagree with that!

The kid's just an overall great prospect...if he choses ND over UCLA, which he would if he was forced to right now according to reports, I'd be extremely happy.

He'll probably just wait till National Signing Day to decide.

From Barr:

“It was good. We got a chance to sit down and talk for awhile.

“We talked about where I fit in with his new system he has implemented. He said he saw me at a wide receiver, a slot receiver and running the ball as well. That was interesting and I’ve never heard that before. It was just good to hear. It’s good news that I have direction. It made things a little more clear for me.”

His mom had a lot of questions, and this was one of her specific ones.

“She was saying from a fans perspective, the savior has come the last four different coaches and nothing has happened. What’s going to be different this time around.

“He said there’s been a lot of confusion at Notre Dame the last seven, eight years, and what makes him think he could move the team in the right direction, is he said he has the right people on his staff, the right communication and trust to get it done. I’ve placed a little more faith in him as the conversation went on.

A 6' 4" 230 lb slot receiver? Kelly sees everybody as a slot receiver I think is planning to use a new 10 receiver 1 QB formation.

It sounds like he's built more like a TE than a slot receiver!

Wow. Interesting! Well, like most of you are saying... Trust the Man. He must know what he is talking about. Hopefully we don't forget to put some of our best athletes on defense, too. Would love, love to land Mr. Barr.

Im not too concerned with which player he might be more like, or even where Kelly sees Barr playing (because that can all change when he is on campus)................ I wanna know what everyone thinks about his response and his moms, and if things are looking good with getting this STUD to ND !?!?!?
