he's a DB prospect who ND apparently is or was looking at him as a big CB as well as a FS.

Just not sure where he fits at Notre Dame. Definitely good athlete you want, but I am not sure he is the safety Notre Dame is looking for and him playing corner is a big stretch from his performance at The Opening.

Not sure Notre Dame needs him at WR. His best position might actually be running back if he bulks up a little bit, but Notre Dame is more than fine at RB.

You don't think he could play safety? Or you think the safeties we have are that much better? What about nickel? Or the hybrid "LB/SS" position we used Tranquil for? Just seems like he's the type of athlete we always complain about not getting, I'd rather have him on the roster and figure it out later.

I think he could, but I am not sure that's his best position. He is a long strider without top-end speed or agility. That impacts his COD and at safety COD of key to getting from point A to B.

Definitely would still be excited for ND to get him, but I'm just not sure where he fits if ND lands Elliott, Perry and Studstill at safety. Those guys more fluid, better hips and not long striders.

Thanks for the input TP. Let's hope these "good problems" continue. I can think of many worse situations than having a few top 150-300 players that don't fit the personnel needs :)

As it stands, you've pulled me to your side, I just hope we sign Elliott, Studstill and Perry.

My boss was at his championship game this past weekend, and told me he was just dominant from the start. Played every snap, on both sides of the ball. Even punted the ball. In the 2nd half he was featured mostly through the wildcat formation and threw for 2 TDs . Also had a INT in the endzone towards the end of the 1st half.

Score ended up being 17-0.

Yea, very underwhelming performance in coverage as a DB. Partially why I was so surprised that some schools are recruiting him as a DB. Great athlete so I'd take him and figure it out later but there are quite a few players I like more.

He is kind of like his brother. Just a hell of an athlete, but it'll be on the school to figure out where his skill set is best suited.

From a freebie Scout article. Notre Dame Fighting Irish Football, Basketball, and Recruiting Front Page


Jordan Fuller entered his first official visit with a burning question, and during his meetings with Notre Dame's coaching staff the Sout 150 defensive back got his answer.

"They asked me what position I wanted to play, and I said cornerback," Fuller said. "They originally started recruiting me as a safety, but they said they’re not opposed to me starting at corner. So that was good."

"My dad asked them what priority I am on their board, and they said I was very high."

The Northern Valley (N.J.) Old Tappan standout left South Bend, Ind., with the Irish in good standing, but also not close to a decision. He is supposed to sit down with his family in the coming week and set up more official visits, and Penn State, Ohio State, TCU and Michigan are all in contention.

But banquet weekend at Notre Dame was first up, and the trip was packed with activities and presentations. He was hosted by freshman quarterback Brandon Wimbush, who played high school football 30 minutes from Fuller's high school.

"I met with pretty much every academic person the first day I was there, and I met with the assistant coaches for a little bit," Fuller said. "Then, that night, I hung out with Brandon Wimbush, and I also hung out with Caleb Kelly and Asmar Bilal. That was cool. It was a good night.

"The next day was more football oriented. We had breakfast – the food was awesome, by the way – and watched practice. That was real cool. Then I met with (assistant) coach (Scott) Booker, (defensive backs) coach (Todd) Lyght and (defensive coordinator) coach (Brian) VanGorder. That was really good. They answered all my questions and let me know I was a priority for them. That was good to hear."

Fuller also had the chance to ask Wimbush what life was like moving from New Jersey to Notre Dame.

"He said he just really wants me to come there," Fuller said. "He said the coaches treat him right and nobody really treats him badly. He really enjoys himself, and he said some of the connections he already made are unbelievable."

A big part of a trip to Notre Dame is the meeting with coach Brian Kelly.

"He said his job is when I walk into the football building, to make it the best part of my day," Fuller said. "He said he wants to make those four years the best four years, and to set me up for life after."

"I thought that all the commits I met and the guys on the team now were really cool guys," Fuller said. "The campus is really nice, too. I also like the coaching staff a lot and what they had to say. I know I'm a priority there and that's a great thing to know".

"My mom and dad enjoyed everything," Fuller said. "Just an overall great visit. It was great that my mom could come too."

also said it would be tough to say NO

Wilfong thinks ND might have pushed ahead here.

. "Coming out of his ND official this weekend, I do believe ND inched ahead, but I also believe I said let's see when the dust settles. More trips to come."

Loy was told we are in his top 2 but the source didn't share the other team. JMO but I like our odds improve for Kelly should we land Fuller. Hopefully Fuller is on board prior to Caleb Kelly's in-home visits.

thanks!

Thinking on the DB finish.

Most of us were hoping on a combo of 2-3 out of Studstill, Hamlin, Pride, Long, Fuller.

Adding Studstill tonight.

If we can add Hamlin (my personal choice for next best after Studstill), Fuller would be a nice athlete to take out of Pride, Long, and Jordan.

He has so much position flexibility on D and could play WR like his Brother. Throw in the chance of helping add Caleb. Could be real big.

So he has a top 2 with ND definitely being one of the two but no one knows his other favorite? Do I have that right?
