'16 TN WR Nate Johnson (Michigan Signee)

[Irish#1]

Is he going to draw a winner from a hat?

Probably not, but that's how it reads.

 

[ab2cmiller]

Whichever you prefer. It's your choice. But just recognize that if you're looking at the pizza and the spaghetti, and your belly starts growling, you're not actually committed to the ham and colby on wheat after all.

My interest in the ham and colby on wheat may depend on if it is served by a guy in khaki's climbing trees in his pajamas after a sleepover.

That guy only serves salami...

Is that before, or after he's been in class????

Two 5 stars in D-Rob and Kelly along with 2 kids that are heavily considering Michigan in Johnson and Jones would be a borderline erotic finish

Yep, my wife would be pissed on NSD if I come downstairs with an erection after having spent the last few hours moaning and clicking refresh on ISD.

 

[Domina Nostra]

I like that he plays with passion and swagger. That's key for WRs IMO. Great slot prospect.

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

I just watched his senior highlights and he looks legit. He'll be a thorn in our sides if goes to Michigan.

He's always thinking about his next move, look to be a dynamic playmaker in traffic. Tracks the ball well and his speed looked good. I don't know his competition but he always looked a step or two ahead of the other team.

He shouldn't be a thorn in our sides if he goes to Michigan. He looks polished but it's impossible to tell how fast he is because his film is sped up like a sonovabitch. Good hands, but hard to tell if he's better than anyone on NDs roster.

Are you guys that confident that they'll be back on the schedule in 2018 or 2020? Or are you just assuming that they make the playoffs too?

 

[GolsonHeisman14]

Being from Tennessee... Nate Johnson was one of the most overlooked players coming into his senior year.

Independence High School is actually a pretty small school in Franklin but they have one of the best football teams in the state in a tough class.

I would love to have Nate Johnson in this class... Versatile player with a ton of upside. May not play as a freshman but he'd be a solid contributor down the line.

ND has done an incredible job finding talent in TN... Golden Tate, Harrison Smith, CJ Sanders, Alex Bars.. need to keep recruiting.

 

[PANDFAN]

PER WILTFONG--coming w/ his parents and everything is squared away regarding visit w/ tickets etc

 

[arrowryan]

To add on to what Panda said, this is Nate Johnson's last OV and I think it was yesterday that Steve thinks Notre Dame has a very good chance of flipping him

 

[Bogtrotter07]

And, I saw some film of him somewhere, that wasn't sped up. He is really fast.

I will try to get the link later.

I said he wouldn't be a thorn in ND's side...Meaning Michigan isn't on the schedule. I guess they could always meet in a bowl game or the playoffs but it's far from a sure thing.

Gotcha. Sorry for misunderstanding. When you said, "He shouldn't be a thorn in our sides..." I thought you meant because of him being underwhelming, not that Michigan and ND aren't scheduled to play each other at this time.

Jim Harbaugh Appears To Have Pulled Offer From Kid Committed Since 2013 | The Big Lead

Is Johnson being forced out as well?

 

[ab2cmiller]

I haven't seen anything indicating that as a likelihood.

NO, not at all

 

[beryirish]

NO, not at all

Which makes it sweeter if ND can flip him.

Otherwise, they will just say "we didn't want him anyway. enjoy our scraps."

Even though I'm sure they will still say that.

He's their 4th highest rated receiver. Are they not trying to bring in some other highly rated WR recruit that recently decommittd from Oregon? I might be out of the loop.

maybe rated lower however he was a late bloomer and has burst onto the scene...

Barton Simmons with a CB to ND today

That's good news. I thought he was kind of fading away. He is a lot like DRob IMO. Having those two on the field with ESB and Hunter would be a nightmare for DBacks. This is to say nothing about Boykin, Claypool and McKinley waiting in the wings. Gotta like the talent we are stocking at receiver. Hope we end up with both of these guys.

he's pretty plugged in, must've heard something from a good source.



Not happy about it, but congrats I guess.

Kinda pissed, he's a really good player, one I wanted Michigan to keep desperately. I don't look too much at the rankings. Couldn't care less about rankings. This kid is a player. Going to be a good one and I have a feeling he's going to out-perform a lot of receivers that were ranked higher than him.

 

[ThePiombino]

I get the feeling this is going to be our DRob consolation prize. I supposed we can do much worse.

If ND gets this guy AND DRob, I can only assume that BK is going to the air-raid.

(I made this joke last year, but it applies even more this year. That would give ND 8 receivers in the last two classes).
