'16 HI S Alohi Gilman (Navy Transfer)

[Luckylucci]

I think the confidence in the D came from the fact that they knew what they had at S this year, versus years past. Alohi is a badass

 

[Meacon Irish]

Kid's a stud.

 

[Irishman77]

Fuukking Stud!!!

Dude is gonna be older than Weinke when he runs out out eligibility.

Weinke's situation still grinds my gears. He was paid to play (minor league) baseball for years before entering FSU as a freshman at age 25. He was 28 when he won the Heisman.

It's not the age thing that I find annoying – religious missions and military service commonly delay entrance into college. It's that he was well paid for years as a professional athlete (in a failed career), and was then allowed to compete as an "amateur" in college.

Sham, sham, shame.

Alohi is playing like he did at Kahuku HS: ball hawk and thumper.

FYI, his younger bro is playing for Punahou where the OC is... Robby Toma.

His younger brother going to get D1 looks?

From the limited number of times I've seen him, he looks like he could be a good player. I think he's a 2020 grad.

I watched Alakai Gilman play, live. He's all over the field, but he's really small. Nowhere near Alohi. Actually, he's about the same size as Toma.

Pete Sampson reported today that the only reason Gilman wasn’t granted a waiver was because Coach Ken N at Navy wouldn’t write a letter to the NCAA. Very good article. Sounds like he went through some hell in prep school in Rhode Island just to get to Navy.

Regardless, I hope Gilman is playing with a huge chip. If true about not writing a letter, I hope he plays possessed.

Good catch

We've had quite a few of these this year.

Game ball, helmet sticker from ESPN College Football Final, and now this. Glad to see him getting the respect!

That INT where he takes it away and runs it back was exceptional on so many levels.

 

[Mavericknyc1980]

Gilman has been a stud for us this year.

 

[Drugstore cowboy]

Alohi Gillman is one of the many stars on the Notre Dame team that give us a good chance to beat Bama. I believe !

Exceptional play is right. Having both him and Elliot making plays on the ball was great to see

Elliot hard jumping that route was awesome. I was down on him a bit early in the year but he's coming on strong.

While I hate the thought of losing Love, the thought of keeping the other three intact (assuming they stay) is pretty awesome. Love the depth we're building. Haven't felt this solid about the DBs in a long time.

Lucky who do you think fills the gap when Love leaves. Vaughn, or do you see Boykin or even one of the newbies make a play.

Looks like Bracy is the leader in the clubhouse. He’s getting regular game work already. That’d be my early guess. But I also think it’ll be a situation where multiple guys get snaps based on opponent, gameplan, etc.

Bracy has arguably been even more impressive than Houston G.

Don't get too carried away there now!

Alohi is an absolute stud. I love this kid. His play Saturday was the highlight of what has been an outstanding season for him so far.

His second interception was a thing of beauty; 3rd and long and it looked like a huge play to swing momentum until he separated the ball from the receiver and made the pick. And his instincts returning the ball on both picks were phenomenal.

Congrats on a HUGE week and the accolades, as well as a very fine season so far.

I love the chip on his shoulder and nastiness he brings to this defense. His presence has been felt in so many ways.

I posted this Saturday in the gameday thread, but figured worth mentioning here.

Alohi is 100% captain next year, right?
I mean, this is surefire.

Yeah, he's already considered a leader by his actions. It could very well be his last year even though he'll still have a year of eligibility. But if he continues to grow like he did 1st season -> 2nd season, look out.

I'd bet on him being a captain and one of the DEs being a captain: Hayes, Okwara or Kareem. Finke and Book the others? Maybe Claypool?

I'm not saying there's no one else worthy.
