Per Rivals, he is visiting this weekend and will no longer visit Oregon. It still seems as though he's UCLA bound but its a good sign that he's still wanting to visit ND.

Jones, Part 2?

- Staff seems to really have laid it on him thick. Came in with UCLA on top, but eyes were opened (and I believe it's not just lipservice FWIW) and UCLA and ND are now even.

Staff will be out to visit him twice before his visit to UCLA on Jan 30th.

My personal opinion - I haven't thought anything of Meadors to date, but I get the vibe that he ends up Irish. Staff is all over him obviously... I thought they'd prefer Farrar, but maybe not. Anyone got film of him playing Safety?

 

[tko]

Three star, must get.

 

[drake29]

His senior film is up on Hudl in the link provided in the OP. Looks quite a bit smaller both in height and weight compared to Farrar. In all honesty he looks like he's built like a CB. That said he's pretty fast and hits like a bigger player. Good breaks on the ball, can cover ground well and seems like a playmaker (forcing fumbles and INTs). Needs a couple years in the weight room, IMO but a solid prospect.

Saw that, thanks. Yeah, he looks like an Oregon player to me. That's the best way I can describe it.

What are the resident expert film evaluators thoughts on Meadors vs. Farrar? I'm just a guy in a chair with a beer. Farrar hits like a truck, I just question whether or is more suited for LB.

I see Meadors as free safety and Farrar as a strong safety. If McKinney is out maybe they take both.

 

[TheTurningPoint]

Farrar doesnt have the range in his game in my opinion. He would be a kickass OLB. Not saying he cant play safety, but Meadors provides much more range and his ceiling is a probably a little bit higher.

Itll be a tough pull for Notre Dame, but they did well this weekend.

Matt Freeman beat you to it. You should check out his article on him. That kid (Freeman) shows a lot of potential.

Watching the interview and following his tweets, it looks like ND make an impression, but he is going to UCLA.

[NDdomer2]

Uncle looks thrilled.

 

[Luckylucci]

Per BGI he'll be deciding on Sumday night, after his UCLA OV, and letting the coaches know then.

 

[Irish#1]

I bet Mora dresses casual on all of his visits. Makes him look a little more down to earth and personable than wearing a suit.

"different aisle"

 

[CanadalovesND]

Got that coveted fourth star by 247.

 

[Luckylucci]

Per BGI he spoke with Kelly Sunday night after his UCLA OV. Kelly was trying to gauge how it went.

Wiltfong thinks UCLA locked him up this weekend.

 

[Luckylucci]

Like posted above Wiltfong is hearing that he locked in for UCLA over the weekend but he continues to have dialogue with ND's staff. I don't think there is much to this as I see him staying west but you never know.

 

[BeauBenken]

I like the idea of our staff not giving up on him even though it's likely a long shot at this point. They are doing what they can to get another safety.

I also think they like Meadors a lot more than some people realize.

Absolutely.

Wish they would have made him a priority a lot sooner than they did...

 

[Luckylucci]

Yea, considering they knew about McKinney for quite a long time, they should have been on a lot of guys sooner.

His recruitment really took off at the end of his senior year. The staff has been on him the entire time since then. We offered him within the same time frame as UCLA even though Nathan lives right outside LA. Not sure how you expect the staff to make him a bigger priority sooner. It has simply been an up hill battle here.

Very true, I still believe we should have been on other prospects longer but you're right with the timeline here.
