Second year in a row we're are looking for the diamonds in the Great White North!

Super pumped about this offer!

 

[Irish#1]

That must be strange for a QB to see a 6'5" LB across from him.

According to the article below we're looking for a few diamonds...SIAP.

So, what does everybody think his best position is? I think OLB but he does seem to have very good ball skills. I just see huge potential for him at LB.

Notre Dame Invites Five Canadians to Irish Invasion Camp

They're tired of being burned by foreign language requirement. This should take care of it.

 

[dublinirish]

For fans north of the border, this years Irish Invasion could feature as many as five Canadians, as Notre Dame has extended invites to Chase Claypool (Abbotsford, BC), Daniel Joseph (Brampton, ON), Joshua Palmer (Brampton, ON), Jonathan Sutherland (Ottawa, ON) and Patrice Rene (Ottawa, ON).

Bound to have the language requirement sorted

Sweet!

2 sport player. Hockey and FB. Irish could be in here....

 

[Bluto]

Doesn't look much like Les. Must get his looks and athleticism from his mom.

aha anyone ever done this at ND? even as a walk on?

 

[rtrn2glory]

what the eh....if he can do both give it a shot. would be tough on the body though imo

 

[dublinirish]

visited SCUM yesterday

 

[GBdomer]

In for the II

 

[PANDFAN]

said that Washington, Oregon and Michigan are his top three right now but that's only because those are the only schools he has visited. That list could change. Distance from home won't be a factor in Claypool's recruitment and he thinks he wants to commit by the end of the summer. You can expect him to take official visits this coming fal - See more at: https://notredame.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1774292#sthash.StVlUWWt.dpuf

 

[PANDFAN]

• Abbotsford (B.C.) High receiver Chase Claypool was one of the many specimens on the field. College coaches could be heard talking about the 6-foot-5, 205-pound Claypool being a difference maker on the next level as a strong-side linebacker or defensive end. Michigan, Notre Dame, Oregon and Washington are the top contenders

[PANDFAN]

Loy hearing good things regarding him and ND, Claypool and his family are very focused on academics and what a Notre Dame degree can do

ND likes him at wr, lb, and potentially DE

 

[GrangerIrish24]

He would make a great OLB with is size and speed

 

[Luckylucci]

Agreed, reminds me a lot of Jaylon Smith playing RB in HS. He's such an exceptional athlete he can make it look easy but his highest upside is at OLB. I think he has NFL type OLB upside.

 

[PANDFAN]

He has been compared to Anthony Barr

 

[dublinirish]

Still hard to believe UCLA had Anthony Barr playing fullback for what 2 seasons??

 

[GrangerIrish24]

Plus he has a frame to put on weight that shouldn't slow him down

 

[IrishLax]

He has been compared to Anthony Barr

Apt comparison. Also reminds me of Christian French quite a bit. He seems a more natural athlete on the field though than French was.

Not to say you guys are over-blowing his ability but how does a guy who's 6 foot 5 inches with more athleticism than Christian French have a 3 star at best rating?

He's Canadian, eh.

 

[NDPhilly]

Loy with the CB. Shut it down

Like Wooly said...he's from Canada and doesn't play against good competition. He will shoot up the rankings before it's all said and done if he continues to camp and do well on the camp circuit.
