'16 OH OG Cain Madden (Notre Dame Commit)

[FightingIrishLover7]

Another NFL oline draft pick for us lol

 

[benneboy]

Huge pickup. Think this will be looked back on as a bigger deal than some are expecting

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

"Madden's pass blocking has been great, with zero sacks and hits allowed this season, but his run-blocking has been on another level. Madden’s 93.4 run-blocking grade is nearly five grading points higher than that of any other FBS guard." - PFF

beating FSU for him will be sweet also

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

Love it, huge get for the OL. Kyren Williams and Chris Tyree have to be hyped.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

I thought Quinn couldn't recruit.

 

[Trait Expectations]

I don't know if he'll be a top level draft pick with another good/great year because of his height but man, I hope he's ready for a season of big boy football!

The Dump Truck, awesome. I bet that nickname has more than one meaning lol.

Miss a couple of key blocks & that name's easy for Irish fans to change into something very similar.

"Of course we get a short OG after Book leaves..."

 

[BobbyMac]

I thought Quinn couldn't recruit.

He can't. STILL hasn't landed a 247 5 star and hasn't put a single guy he recruited to ND into the NFL.

poor guys

Solid addition. Double importance as he would’ve been one of the best OL, if not the best at FSU to open the season.

however, I would assume this pushes an interior OL out as there just won’t be enough reps and snaps to go around. Makes sense why the staff would take 3 interior guys in this class.

Some Noles on r/cfb were talking a few weeks back about how they weren't feeling confident in their OL after the Gibbons transfer, but would once Madden chose the Noles lol.

Kyren and Tyree approve.

 

[BobbyMac]

Two of the Noles/247 guys waived the white flag and entered CB's for ND.

No one from ND has CB'd him to the Irish.

Oh no... is he stopping in Columbus on the way home???

 

[clashmore_mike]

Commit signal being put out on twitter by the staff.

Harbaugh just called him too

Blake - Rocco - Zeke - Cain - Patterson?

 

[rtrn2glory]

Blake - Rocco - Zeke - Cain - Patterson?

Wouldn't bother me... Maybe flip Cain and Rocco so you got experience mixed with youth on both sides... Then lugg can backup both spots

 

[IrishLion]

Blake - Rocco - Zeke - Cain - Patterson?

Blake - Patterson - Correll - Cain - Lugg/Baker

Keep the veteran between the frosh and the new guy at center; put the established guy at RG where he can tandem with a veteran in Lugg, or else develop a combo-block partnership with a young guy.

Yeah - I think this makes the most sense.
But I think 3 year starters side by side to NFL 1st round picks would be an awesome story for Blake/Rocco - and I want it to happen lol

That's where I'm at. With a right handed QB you probably want the better pass protectors to the left and right blockers to the right. Patterson at LG and Cain at RG. Lugg and/or Baker at RT.

Sounds like we’re pretty optimistic!

FSU twitter talking sheet about ND, i hope ND trotts Madden out as a captain just to troll them

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

Damn that was fast. Why did he go to FSU. Just to make sure ND was the place? That slingshot didn’t sway him it seems lol

 

[IrishBoognish]

Awesome stuff.

Crazy that this kid started his career as a walk on at Marshall...

Now he's an All American getting ready to start at ND.


Big time
