'17 AZ DE Jalen Harris (Arizona Verbal)

[dwshade]

With the struggles of WR recruting this year, Tory Hunter leaving to play baseball and Corey Holmes transfering, sign this could up as a WR.

As a DE he reminds me of the Irvin kid from West Virginia, who was selected in the first round by the Seahawks. Bruce Irvin played at 235 lbs soaking wet in college.

Again I refer you back to his dad Sean. 6-3, 245 LB for the Bears. And that was 20 years ago. This kid has the frame to easily get to 245-250.

Visits Illinois, Washington then ND

Pass rusher sets Irish official - Notre Dame - Scout

 

[BobbyMac]

At Washington today.

U of A flipped My-King Johnson, a former UCLA commit who was replaced/pushed out(?) by Odua Isibor. All three are from Phoenix metro. Recruiting's version of musical chairs. Hope it pays off for the Irish though UDub's a great offer too. Would get coached silly by Pete K.

My #1 left on the board.

That's good...weather.com says it feels like 15 there right now.

 

[BobbyMac]

Well it's 49 and 40mph winds at here in AZ right now so South Bend probably doesn't feel so bad compared to the 30's they left in AZ... if they flew out early this morning.

Sitting in Niles, MI right now (about 15 minutes north of campus) and its 26 with barely a breeze.

Its nice that he thinks the people are beautiful tho.

Are we really hurting that bad in recruiting that we have to offer a 3-star player who's blind?

 

[Irish#1]

It's a shame they can't be on campus in the spring or fall when it kicks ass.

They can if he commits.

It's she. That's Mom's account.

But we know the drill... Mom's always love them some ND.

In Ft Wayne right now, the wind sucks!!!! Of course thats also because I work out in it.

 

[NDdomer2]

I think it feels colder than it is right now just because we have been so spoiled all January. Hell it was 68 in indy just last week.

 

[dwshade]

His dad played seven years for the Bears so I think they understand winter weather in that part of the country.

I wonder if he overlapped with Hiestand?

My man. You're down the street.

 

[BobbyMac]

They were both there when I lived there from 95-00. Pretty sure Harris left for Indy for a year before retiring.

 

[arrowryan]

Were there any updates after his visit? Hoping we can flip him.

 

[ND Fan Vancouver]

I haven't read anything yet.

 

[IrishFanForever23]

He's still on campus, but from all accounts, sounds like visit is going very well. In fact, if you look at mom's account now, it appears she's given her blessing.

 

[arrowryan]

Assuming he can gain weight without losing speed, he's going to be a freak at 240-250.

[BobbyMac]

"Eager to leave home" are strong words for an AZ mom to use in a tweet when her son is wearing an ND uni.

Hopefully uncles Chris Zorich, Jim Flanigan, Andy Heck, Tom Carter Anthony Johnson (and more I'm sure) are working dad behind the scenes. Jalen was born in Chicago or Indy so he should feel perfectly fine in SB.

If it were my kid, I'd move back to Chicagoland while Jalen was at ND and send Jason to LaLu to play basketball for his So/Jr/Sr years.

Win win for everybody.

Mom was the key to this visit.

I had to count the number of I's to properly vet you to make sure you weren't a DIISpecialist from GVSU. Can't have spies running back and telling BK what we're planning. But being that you are a DIIISpecialist, that's ok. Plus this site could use a former K/P from the Calvin Knights to give us some expert kicking game analysis.

Crusader, played a little west of GR in Holland, MI for Hope College. Calvin does not have a football team, but I respect your knowledge of the MIAA.
