'15 IN ILB Darrin Kirkland Jr. (Tennessee Verbal)

[Irish YJ]

We didn't even offer him...

Which is sad in and of itself

Who would you take him over? Barajas? Bilal? I definitely wouldn't take him over Coney, and it's hard right now to know much about how the other two will develop.

Why do we have to take him over anyone? Just take them all...

At the time none. Can't second guess that LB haul right now. Kirkland wouldn't be playing at ND right now.

I probably would not have taken him over any of them, but I would have at least offered him being from IN, and found a place for him if he wanted to come.

I remember his film was ridiculous and he was crazy aggressive. I don't think we offered (could be wrong) for the reason you stated. I hated that he was an in-state monster that had a high ceiling and we didn't get him...that's all I'm saying. We'll be hearing a lot more about him.

It's not as hard to play as a freshman when the team your on has been down for a while. I think we'll be okay with who we have.

IIRC, he and Coney were projected to the same position and I don't know if the staff could be happier with Coney.

Grad transferring. 2 years to play.

Hopefully he's fully recovered.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

He can come and backup Drew and Coney this year and start next year.

WOOOOOAH.

How did this never leak out of the paid sites?

Wonder if he would have if one of Coney/Tranquil had gone pro?

Would he have graduated in time?

Due to injuries, will not play this fall as a 5th year and will "retire" from football.
