One more profile for him for good measure? We have to get at least one of three of them to commit!

ROTC guy, judging by the photo.

Big23Head · Feb 18, 2016

One of the national scout analysts expects ND to be a major factor

Ah, thanks.

Big23Head · Feb 19, 2016

Scout: looking to commit prior to senior season, will take a tour of school this spring

Irish#1 · Feb 19, 2016

It would be nice to wrap him up early.

PANDFAN · Feb 24, 2016

Visiting Notre Dame on March 29-247

I'm sensing a tone / vibe from everything I read about Mr. Brooks.

I'm dropping a light gray, lower case... boom!

Yea, he seems like a really good profile fit from what I've read so far.

I took some grief from some people before but my Irish detector is about 80% accurate. When a guy looks, walks, talks like an ND guy... they're pretty easy to ID.

any chance it's us?

Strange timing considering he just set visits for Notre Dame, Michigan, Vanderbilt and North Carolina all for the next few weeks. Especially interesting considering the fact that we are seemingly almost full at the position. hmmm

Rizzophil · Mar 23, 2016

Not us.

He's committing so he still has a choice.

Irish#1 · Mar 23, 2016

Would be surprised it's us given the latest haul, but you never know.

koonja · Mar 23, 2016

He'll commit to Duke and we'll steal him later if we want.

Or ND said they were full at LB and he moved up the commitment. He was supposed to visit next week.

That doesn't contradict what I said.

I guess the OR implies I was trying to contradict you but I wasn't, just a comment

Maybe something went wrong with Duke, but why not reach out to the schools you're interested in to see if they even want you before decommitting?

NOT saying in this case specifically...but some kids get "sick" of the process so they commit but then find themselves missing the attention...or could just be he committed too soon before exploring all options...

one to keep an eye on
