Dafuq....

I've been complaining for days, weeks that he should be considered an athlete and play WR when he comes in if the numbers are lower at WR than DB.

Yet I get no credit...

Awwwww.

Even if we don't land a WR, I say we still keep Adebo at DB. We finally got a great DB haul in 16 and I think it's VERY important to keep stockpiling talent there. If this happens, ND needs to make a very serious effort on WR's and DE's in '18.

This. ND will land more WRs on average, than DBs. Take the DBs while they available.

I watched all the UA AA practise and game film on YouTube yesterday and man....Adebo is so good. He honestly was the most effective player on the field often when he was in. He flat out burned the best corners there, got open, caught the ball using great technique and athleticism and was dangerous with the ball in his hands. He's certainly a dynamic WR and I'm sure he's a great DB as well. If the decision regarding him playing WR or corner were up to me, I would have a really hard time with it. I love what we have going on at DB with our young talent and think it'd be great for us to continue to stockpile talent there. At the same time we really need help at X WR especially if we don't land Martin. I think he'd play as a freshman at WR but either sparingly or not at all at corner. If I had to choose right this minute I'd keep him on D.

May be our best commit in '17

He really is underrated by all services but ESPN. We give ESPN a lot of grief, but They probably got this one right.

I'm so excited to see him play, not matter what position.

Question. Where does the name Paulson comes from? Because many people use that as his first name.

So is it Saiid or Paulson? Or whichever you want to call him?

I'd guess Saiid is his legal first name. He goes by Paulson on his Twitter page. Maybe it's his middle name?

That hurts. Especially after he balled out and got rave reviews against top competition all week.

How did we hold on to this guy? Dog shit season, coaching looks terrible, we go 4-8, Adebo hasn't visited since like December, and Texas just hired the Messiah. I'll squint whenever I see this thread bumped until Feb 4th or whatever it is.

Well now it makes sense.

LOL good thing we kept Kelly for recruiting continuity. ND recruiting classes don't fall apart, right?

Staff probally told him he was going to play DB, if I were him I'd go to a school that would use me at WR.

Fudge. This has been a crappy recruiting year in terms of decomittments. ND has has lost some really good players

"Saiid, Paulson, whatever your name is... you looked fantastic all week at receiver. A true playmaker! You could score all of the touchdowns in South Bend!

Having said that, we're gonna stick you at DB behind 6 freshmen that all got playing time last year and look to be developing pretty well. You'd just get wasted on the bench at wide receiver with a needlessly-burned redshirt, anyway. We just like to be honest around here.

Oh, that doesn't sound good? Well good luck wherever I guess, I wish you'd reconsider our questionable personnel and recruiting decisions."

Going to play WR at Stanford. Maybe OSB called him and said a spot was opening up... ???


And then again maybe Zeke Elliot DM'd him and said if they ain't gonna play you where you want... Go somewhere else.

It just might work out for ya. *wink-wink*

I didn't know he had been accepted at Stanford.

Well then there's that.

I wouldn't be surprised if the class continues to fall apart. The fact that he is headed to Stanford not any place in Texas makes this unbearable to me. We have a desperate need at WR. The depth chart is bereft of either talent or depth. We also really need DB talent.... sooo....

Adebo was arguably the most important player in this class. We teetering dangerously close to an implosion that causes depth holes that will take years to recover from.

Stanford and Shaw continue to drop nuts on Kelly and ND.

Take a look around you, Lax. We're at the threshold of Hell!

This class is so screwed. This year's class and last year's class will haunt this program in a year or two.
