'10 FL DB LaMarcus Joyner (FSU Verbal)

[IrishInFl]

Cretin-Derham-Hall in Minnesota is one of the better schools in the state as well. It has to mean something to admissions when players go to tougher schools. It might come down to test scores.

 

[OCIrish]

Admissions is going to be the biggest obstacle for both Seantrel and Lamarcus -- hopefully a quiet exception can be made for both of them.

It's a safe bet that with high profile kids like these two, that admissions have already been discussed, I don't think it will be an issue.

Jonathan Baldwin anyone? I love our academics 99% of the time, but 1% of the time i hate them because of situations like this. Like IrishInFl already said about Hendersons and Floyds school, its very academically stringent. I would think that STA, being a private school, would be known for its academics?

 

[WhoDeyIrish]

Anyone think he might be out of the mix with the commitment of Hurd? I know there is a article on Rivals about where he is leaning, but of course I'm not a member. Anyone read this today?

 

[IrishInFl]

Not a chance. You don't pass on a player like Joyner, a true cover corner. If ND has a chance to take him, they do.

ND will take one more corner, and it appears to be one of Riggs, Shaw, or Joyner. Riggs seems to be slipping on a lot of boards (surprisingly), but even then it seems as if he's soured on ND. Shaw seems to be a long-shot now as well. That leaves Joyner, who surprisingly is very interested in ND. Joyner is the best bet at this point, but we could very easily be snubbed by all 3...

Joyner would be an incredible landing. Riggs is slipping don't understand that. I think we need some help in the safety more than anything.

 

[JefMaj]

We do need a premier - fast - return guy.

 

[jason_h537]

Riddick has it at return we need more depth at corner with Slaughter Moving to safety

 

[WhoDeyIrish]

We do need more depth at corner, but we need safetys. We need ball hawking good coverage safety.

 

[jason_h537]

We are in solid shape at safety. Badger is on board. Hurd can play safety if necessary. Amerson, Parker, and Riley have ND high on thier lists. Cooper can still end up at Safety and there is no word yet on Flowers. if we get any 2 of these we will be in great shape. Personally i want Sean Parker and ______ (fill in the blank).

 

[JefMaj]

Love Theo - but, haven't seen blinding speed on returns.

 

[irish73102]

i think we have joyner not a sure thing but i think he ends up irish just a feeling

Yeah but I'm still worried about the safeties that we have in here. Parker and Riley would be nice. Cooper and Riley would be nice to in my opinion. Would love either of those combos, obviously Parker and Cooper would be fine to. But again nothing is a sure thing....I'm just saying spots are filling fast. If we have 7 recruits left. At the pace people have been committing we aren't going to have very many left. Gaston supposedly is going to commit on Nov 4 that takes us to 6. I'm just worried we might run out of spots, for some of the players that aren't going to commit until later on in the season... Thats if they are high on us.

UPDATE!!!

Tried to get some "inside info" last night, but when I brought up the name Joyner, I got no response. That has never happened before. FSU fans must be really angry right now. ND must have a pretty decent shot at Joyner.

Go on....

 

[IrishInFl]

Um... I saw him play? He's really good? What do you want from me!

 

[IrishAddiction]

I would say it is between us and florida..... it did worry me having hurd commit wether or not we would save a spot. we have done it before with the huge names (Forston, Sabino, Floyd, and Filer come to mind). But if the staff sees a talent they cannot pass up, i would say they take it no matter what.

Also, im guessing by your post IrishInFL that FSU feels like they have no shot at this guy???

Joyner Plays RB

Joyner Plays RB

Per insider.ESPN.go.com

Under Armour All-American five-star cornerback Lamarcus Joyner played running back Friday night and carried 11 times for 80 yards (7.3 average) in St. Thomas Aquinas' (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) 27-0 shutout of Deerfield Beach (Fla.), the Miami Herald reports.

 

[IrishAddiction]

Per insider.ESPN.go.com

Odd. I wonder if Gio didnt play RB or what happened there...... Good to see how versatile is still out there for us to get, but it just makes me wonder what happened to Gio Bernard. Joyner is by far is one of two players i would say if we are gonna save a spot for, we have. Him and Henderson are players no college should pass up IMO.

 

[IrishInFl]

Am I the only one finds finds it interesting that an espn article statrts by calling Joyner an UA all-american?

from what I understand is that they rested Gio due to hamstring injury.

 

[loweND]

Has it been stated that we're recruiting Joyner specifically to play defense? Seems like this guy could be even more valuable on the offensive side.

He'd be a kickoff guy as well in college for sure, but his butter is spread on defense...

 

[WabashFalcon]

Prototypical CB body... not so much a brusier between the tackles. I guatentee, even without seeing the tape... that St. TA ran a lost of toss, outside zone, stretch, and counter.

You're correct. I posted that in Bernard's thread after finding a news article, I had already posted here and didn't think to come back to clarify.


As for RB, Joyner wasn't the primary RB, some other STA guy got the principal carries. The kid is an athlete but I suspect STA's OLine was dominating.

typical ESPN they need to advertise there own game. so if some one see's that a recruit are in that game then you will more than likely watch the game to see how they perform.

 

[texas fighting irish]

So at this point who is leading for Joyner? Do we have a real shot of landing him.

 

[WeisWeisBaby]

No, we have zero chance at all per ISD

 

[Rizzophil]

No, we have zero chance at all per ISD

Where did you see that? Just curious, because I don't think that is coming from their weekly "Chance Report."
