"Yeah, I decided ND is the place for me...They said I'm already better than the whole WR corps combined..."

NDdomer2 · Sep 29, 2017

lol that last one, dude was like 8 yards away and still got juked to the ground.

BobbyMac · Oct 9, 2017

Coach Alexander's got plans.

“Notre Dame looks really strong. Why stop running the ball when you’re succeeding at it, of course. I mean, of course, I’d like to see them pass the ball more but coach (DelVaughn) Alexander, he talked to me about and he told me next year, he’s going to prepare me to be the go-to guy for the upcoming season.”

Didn't see this already posted and saw some concern about him waiting until February

Every now and again I get reminded that we landed this kid's verbal and it gives me the warm and fuzzies.

IrishFanJMercy · Oct 31, 2017

If he arrives in January that will give him 9 month with Balis right now he is 6'3 185, wouldn't be surprised if he was at 205 next fall

Agree........Kids got a frame and already looks heavier than 185.

IrishFanJMercy · Oct 31, 2017

On 247 it lists him at 198 I think so maybe 215

FightingIrishLover7 · Oct 31, 2017

aka, he starting

Just to be clear, I haven't read anything saying he's an EE, just that he's going to sign as early as possible instead of waiting 2 more months for NSD. If he's going to enroll early, that would be awesome news, but I don't think that's the case.

Rivals has Kevin at #81 overall.

Me2SouthBend · Dec 4, 2017

3 and possibly a 4th top 100 prospect committed? I likey.

Top shelf analysis here. I concur.

Signed. Jamie U believes he is the best receiver Notre Dame has signed in the BK era.

Agreed.

I think this dude is AJ Green-ish.

Luckylucci · Dec 20, 2017

I think so as well.

IrishFanJMercy · Dec 20, 2017

I think he plays next year regardless, he will be playing a lot more if St. Brown doesn't come back

FightingIrishLover7 · Dec 20, 2017

Playing this coming season?

Hell, he would have pushed for 1A, this year...

I'm in that camp as well and I'm not a shiney new toy kind of guy. Not every receiver is ready to transition but Austin looks like a "Give me my damn ball" kind of WR.

He'll go up in traffic and he has a lot of speed. Can't wait to hear how he's transitioning.

koonja · Dec 21, 2017

If you haven't already, watch this guys senior film. Way better speed than I expected.

If he had been around this year Wimbush would have been a 60% passer.

Senior Film looks great! He's going to be awesome for the Irish. But I did have to laugh at some of that competition.

Coach Kelly compared him to Golden Tate I believe

really? I don't see any Golden Tate in him

NDty9 · Dec 22, 2017

Holy SH1T ! Never saw film on him before .... Absolute Beast! Obviously a physical freak, but also uses his hands so well, and has great burst! Very impressive

I assume he is in UA or Army bowl??? Would love to hear the scouts rave all week of practice at one of those events !
