I really became enamored with recruiting this kid. I like everything I have heard about him. Especially the impression he has made on folks.

I am going to be watching this kid. Would really like to celebrate getting a highly ranked kids with a good head on his shoulders from California.

I'm sure this gave staff a huge sigh of relief and something to build on. Although 247 bumped him to 230, this kids highlight film screams top 200 player all day IMO. His mature physique, elite smarts, versatility, ceiling and great intangibles will prove to be very valuable. I think this kid will start at SS and be great in coverage and a great hitter. I bet he passes Jalen in his sophomore season for starting SS

No. Jalen Elliott is going to be an outstanding player. Genmark is a perfect fit in Elko's scheme as a rover.

I know it sounds cliche but he's definitely an ND kid. Glad we got him.

Agreed 100%, I'm just glad we didn't take a safety with questionable upside like we have in the past. But I won't name names

just watched a little of his film...Really strong lower half...holy shit.

seems to like contact. Man I like him better as a Rover than a SS. He needs to strap on some weight...but he's a good get...by 2019 he could be something.

247- New article re interview with JGH. JGH stated he gave Elko/Lyght his silent verbal commitment at his in home on Tuesday then called Kelly that night and told him. Kelly was yelling in excitement over the phone.
JGH said he always felt he end up at ND. He sort of decided before he visited. Studtill, his host, played a big part in landing him.
JGH is recruiting Wardlow and Yeast

So the general consensus is that Jeremiah Owusu is a better prospect than this guy? I watched the films and that's not what I saw at all.

Most people I heard said what you said: he's got a ton of potential.

Don't they play, or won't they play at ND, two different positions?

Haha! Totally. I think we should just stick with JOK and JGH.

Question..........Why does an announcer rarely use the first name of a player, when they have one last name, but will always use their first name when a player has two last names?

Like others have mentioned they are being recruited for different positions, but overall I do like Owusu more.

Different positions like said before, but Koon, it's alright to really like Jordan as a prospect. I absolutely love him. I also really love how the new staff (Elko & Lea) glows about Owusu. The seem to think the sky is the limit for him PARTICULARLY in their Rover position. You can see for yourself in the below video if you haven't already watched it:

I think Jordan got kudo's as well. Multiplicity (multi-dimensional), athleticism for size, high football IQ, and hold on, in the middle Elko called him the right kind of guy!

This kid just started playing as a freshman in high school. This kid is a fast, quick 200 lb safety, as a senior in high school!

Both these kids are awesome.

I think the program is very high on both. With Jeremiah, I think they further wanted to point out that A) what a rover was, and B) he is exactly what the want a rover to be.
