'16 FL OL Parker Boudreaux (Notre Dame Signed NLI)

[irishff1014]

Hell yes this is an awesome get.

 

[BobbyMac]

you will get this in a few days as he will be at the opening

Hopefully it's 6-3.5. Perfect size for a guard.... (when your QB isn't 6-5+)

Just realized his ratings have pretty much dropped across the board from what is listed on the front page. Weird considering all he has done recently was get invited to The Opening.

I don't really get how his composite is now a three star when none of the recruiting agencies have him as a three star? Just bizarre to me. Whatevs though, his offer list tells me everything I need to know. Over 70 offers including:

Notre Dame
Alabama
Arizona State
Arkansas
Auburn
Boston College
Cincinnati
Clemson
Duke
Florida
Georgia Tech
Illinois
Indiana
Iowa
Louisville
Massachusetts
Miami
Michigan State
Minnesota
Mississippi State
Missouri
N.C. State
Ohio State
Oklahoma
Oklahoma State
Ole Miss
Oregon
Penn State
Pittsburgh
Purdue

Me likey.

Does he know how to smile or are the events in his life always that serious?

 

[BleedBlueGold]

The video was a bit much for my liking as well. But good god, that kid should (and will) thrive at ND under HH and surrounded by other top OL.

To Harry! Here, here!

Boudreaux says his recruitment is over. He is shutting everything down and Hiestand is the only coach he plans on communicating with going forward.

“I’m committing to Notre Dame and ending everything,” said Boudreaux. “I’m not going to even keep in touch with other coaching staffs. I know where I want to go. Now I just want to focus on my future at Notre Dame and do my part to get some big-time players to join me. That’s part of why I wanted to commit now. I’m going to do a lot of recruiting from now on. I want to recruit at The Opening. I’m going to talk with coach Brian Kelly and find out who they want and start doing my part.”

It looks like Scout bumped him WAY down their board to the #22 OG and a 3 star.

Damn i liked him before this. Just icing on the cake.

REASONING BY 247
While Boudreaux has tremendous upside, he does not have the same polish and technique that Irish commit Tommy Kraemer. Questionable foot speed at this current juncture. He can add value to his skills by progressing within the nuances of interior line blocking, which can include tandem and multi-level schemes.

Doesn't smile enough = 3 stars

He and Jones Jr. are on the same team along with targets like Damar Hamlin, Oluwole Betiku and Donnie Corley.

 

[GreenSox04]

Attention Tailbacks, look at all this line over here!

 

[yankeeND]

I was hoping I'm not the only one with "grumpy old man" attitudes...

I've seen much worse, but in general I hate this kind of shit.

I loved it. As long as this is the last we hear about recruiting from him besides trying to get others on board then let him have his moment. It was a lot better than what I thought it was going to be and his attitude has me even more ok with it. I think we need some more personalities like Parker on the team and if he plays like he is confident we are in great shape! Don't get me wrong, I do understand where you and Wooly are coming from, but it's better than Instagram pictures of a Bama recruits flashing money. Just saying...

Well THAT doesn't Suck! Love to hear this from the recruits!

 

[Blaise]

I love it... The kid may end up being a jerk, but I always get a hard on when Notre Dame can roll into town on a kid who has those kind of offers and the kid says, this is where I want to be, and I am going to do everything to bring others with me

 

[ColinKSU]

That video was definitely, uh ... definitely a thing that happened.

 

[Booslum31]

That video was definitely, uh ... definitely a thing that happened.

I guess i should be happy that it's not opening up for me.

 

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Vid was sweet, was only lacking a Paul Heyman intro. Also the chains seemed a lil limp to me for being pulled but o well lol. Now every staff member should just be rcting DE.

 

[VAIrishFan]

Great Pickup! Kid is a BEAST!!!!

 

[BeauBenken]

I think physically, Parker is pretty impressive. He can definitely tune his blocking and foot skills though which might mean he has a damn bright future ahead of him.

I think his physical abilities make him at least a 4 star right now. Looking at you Scout...

 

[pkt77242]

An o-lineman that doesn't smile? Perfect.

 

[wizards8507]

Yeah I take steroids. I eat that shit for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

 

[GoldenToTheGrave]

I don't think I've ever seen such a stereotypical guard prospect in my life.

 

[IrishFanJMercy]

Redshirt for a year then replace Elmer?

 

[GrangerIrish24]

I would pay money for him to take on the Boz persona

[Irish#1]

That was awesome! Time bring the nasty back to ND! I love it! Congrats big fella, Irish Eyes are smiling!

Even for an old fart I liked it. Agree, he appears to lean toward the nasty side and I love it.

 

[IrishInFl]

He looks like Brock Lesner.

He's just going into his senior year. Plenty of time to work on foot speed and technique. After all, that's what coaches are for.
