wonder if this was intentional??? or coincidence...

That's fucking hilarious. Bet Jake Brown squats with the pad on the bar.

Welcome to Notre Dame Cole. crazy TE class coming in in 2017.

 

[woolybug25]

I usually hate on Loy, but that stit was funny as hell.

 

[BGIF]

Same conference as my highs chool, and Weishar's - Marist, also same as Julian Love at Nazareth. East Suburban Catholic Conference. Putting out just us much talent as the Catholic League is these days! Also notable Viator alumni Jarret Payton.. We were the same year, and when he came from soccer to football, dude could fly.

Congrats Cole!

Yes, he could fly but apparently didn't play school well. ND Admissions shot him down.

 

[tussin]

Both understand that they'll have two different roles and can play at the same time, like we've seen this year.

Can you elaborate on their different roles / skill sets?

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

Sometimes, I really like Tom Loy. The subtlety was spectacular.

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

Sweetness

wright--inline te but athletic and good hands( more like Rudolph/smythe,weisher)

cole-flexed out te( more like eifert, alize) big guy that has a finesse to his game as well

 

[Booslum31]

Fantastic...TE U! Welcome Cole!

 

[NDdomer2]

what makes the J.Brown thing even worse was Loy was informing the fanbase before 9am that good news was coming. Jake "finished" his workout sometime around 1130.

Means Jake said A) everyone already knows so ill go work out anyways or B) he is so totally out of the loop he had no idea it was happening today.

Either way. what a chump. Do better.

It's become so frequent that I think its apparent, its just an excuse he uses. Like I've said before, he can't post of twitter, "sorry had to finishing eating these cupcakes and jerking it, we got a commitment, yeah."

 

[Redbar]

Welcome aboard and congratulations to Cole and the Kmet family. Excellent choice can't wait to see you don the Blue and Gold.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Well this rocks!

 

[aubeirish]

This class is shaping up to be QB heaven. 2 Studs at both OL and TE each already in the fold. Fantastic.

I was thinking the same thing. How does a top flight QB not look at this team as a dream spot? With that said, there are 4 reasons (Zaire, Kizer, and Wimbush and Book).

 

[irishandy]

Welcome aboard young man.

Why wouldn't Johnson want to flip to ND?? Brock & Cole at TE, this class is shaping up to be a heck of a class.

I am happy to have Book, and I don't mean this as a slight to him, but is his commitment really a reason for a 5* QB to not want to come here? C'mon man...

Four sure. Our depth chart is looking great for the near future. Brandon will be a 3rd year player by the time these guys get on campus. I like Ian Book a lot, but I doubt any top QB in the 17 class will fear competing against him. I think we will land somebody really good. I am not aware of a lot of guys other than Johnson, whom we missed on. Looking at his statistics(Johnson), he has been turning the ball over quite a bit. I don't know much about him and maybe I am way in left field, but certainly, we don't need another turnover machine in the fold.

I realize that the recruiting game has become very premature, but I think that making a strong push on someone after this season is in the book will be better. These guys are just starting their junior year. It's really hard to know who is good or not just yet. I am not very concerned about interest from top prospects at this point, especially if we continue winning football games.

I was being polite, C'mon Wooly

Always the peaceable contrarian.

 

[Jackalope1977]

Welcome Cole! I'm perfectly fine with grabbing 2 top TE's in this cycle.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

From what I have seen, there is little if any hyperbole in this comment! Reps, sir!

Other than Jones, I think it has been a while since I have seen kids play like this half way through high school, let alone show this kind of physical development early on!

 

[ResLife Hero]

Nice grab yesterday.

Love the class that coaches are putting together. The 2 TEs are great additions. Let's get a couple of RBs and a QB to take advantage of the OL that will be in place.

 

[OCIrish]

I think he landed on the defender......should that not be a TD???

 

[OCIrish]

Regardless, happy he chose ND over tOSU!!!! Welcome Cole!!!!!

Brown's trying to downplay he wasn't late to the game. Has to be a shot at Brown.

Great choice Cole. You won't be sorry.

Junior Year Games 1-5 Highlights:

Junior Year Games 1-5 - Cole Kmet highlights

Looks like a completely different player from his sophomore year. Really filled out. Faster and Blocking is much improved.

If you haven't watched Brock Wright's highlights I suggest you do. Kid is the next Jason Witten. just mauls people.

"I like Eifert and Gronkowski." "Why?" "Cause there like me."

Love the confidence. Welcome to ND!
