'17 IA WR Oliver Martin (Michigan Verbal)

[BobbyMac]

As far as his 40, first off, 4.57 is not bad to start. But the question is has he been competitive swimming in the winter and summer?

If so, he's not building muscle that translates to explosive speed. Long story short, he's going to respond more to a college weight program then someone who is already lifting 12 months a year. I bet that 40 time improves a lot in college.

As far as the talent pool, its always a risk to pick a kid out of a lower level of competition. Speed is speed, but how does he react to getting hit more often and more squarely by kids bigger and as fast as he is?

But it's not like he's a 195 lb. DE, either. He's got the right measurables for what we need.

I say put 30lbs on him and put him in with our talented... pool of OLB's. I'll bet he shows up with a savage swim move.

Which way to the exit fellas?

Awesome! Get Denbrock on this kid and the fam, ASAP

 

[TheChosen1]

Has to be stepherson related.

 

[Luckylucci]

Wiltfong was told from his family that ND offered earlier in the week. So probably not Stepherson related

It was a joke brother. Go Irish. 🍀

Wasn't sure if that was sarcasm or not, no italics, lol

ISD also intimated last Friday that an offer was in the works. Has more to do with OSB going to Furd than anything.

 

[GBdomer]

I don't mind the offer after seeing OSB go elsewhere. Reminds me a little bit of a more explosive Jordan Westerkamp

Feck all the white boy comparisons, reminds me of a more explosive OSB.

I could see that and I know he tore it up at the opening but OSB plays in one of the best conferences in America while Martin plays against guys we will never hear from again.

well in his defense he did win MVP honors at his regional NIKE camp which is what got him an invite to The Opening out in Oregon. And then at The Opening he was one of the very top players there and was destroying a bunch of guys we will hear from again. He was beating all of the top players in the secondary in this class and making them look like fools.

The only positions that I even look at these type of 7on7's/camps are CBs and WRs and to a lesser extent safety. Can't really get a good judge on RB's, LB's, QB's, or OL's, but WR and CB it's pretty easy to judge.

This kid is an elite WR. And he's got size too, he's about 6'0/6'1, 185-190ish. And he's plenty fast in a straight line, he's not just a "quick" guy, he's also fast. And he's not some little 5'8, 180 pound Wes Welker either. He can play outside or in the slot.

Reminds me of Mardy Gilyard, no joke.

I agree on all of this. Especially the last part/paragraph.

 

[irishff1014]

Per TV He is supposed to visit Oregon next weekend Loy being told he'll be at Duke/ND.

Very nice!

Loy still using "expected". He was expected to OV to Oregon last week but postponed without setting a future date. If he does show up on Saturday, might he skip UM and MSU and commit?

They had taken his visit for Duke off his 247 timeline but it's back up this morning. That's good news.

Or better yet, silent along with Holloman and both declare at the US Army Game? Marketing 101...

Freebie from Loy/247

Army All-American visiting Notre Dame this weekend

[Oliver Martin] is expected to be joined by his parents, grandparents and entire family this weekend to see the Irish in action. This is expected to be an unofficial visit, with his official visit not coming until later this year.

Bringing the entire family on an unofficial so he can bank an OV to a later game or maybe/probably, the banquet.

Inside Michigan Recruiting: 9/21

LOY/WILTFONG-trust our sources and spoke w/ multiple people

LORENZ-trust my sources

As much as I dislike Loy, i would trust him over Lorenz any day. Loy isnt even a ND fan while Lorenz is a fanboy that would do anything to get into Harbaugh's pants.

 

[PANDFAN]

for perspective he is #67 overall on 247 (not composite), would be our HIGHEST commit

 

[NDVirginia19]

Weird how nobody seems to be as excited for him as they are other WRs... [insert The League white player dog whistles here]

 

[IrishLax]

Like I've said from the beginning, I think he's an extremely important player for us to add.
