'18 OR ATH Braden Lenzy (Notre Dame Signee)

[irishog77]

That's exactly my point...anyone Oregon hires will come in either completely unproven, or with hair all over them.

So they might hire Wollybug?























Or his wife?

His wife got laser hair removal. They had to take out a second mortgage and it took 10 months of appointments to remove all of it, but she's slicker than greased owl shit now.

Only 10 months? I seriously doubt that. Wolly told me his back and taint took him over 3 years to finish...and that only got him into George The Animal Steele territory.

Well, I don't consider Oregon hiring Leach as "getting hit by a pitch, just to get on base." For the money they'd give him, relative to these other ludicrous deals, I think it'd be a good hire.

PS. Your analogies are terrible.

 

[IrishFanForever23]

Based off what- that he was a one time verbal commit to oregon and that ucla's newly hired head coach was at oregon in 2013?

Or is there more to that belief?

Oregon site says they were told he commits back to Oregon if they move quickly with a hire, instead of taking forever.

ok

Leach's PAC 12 record ..........26-28.......

He locked Craig James's son in a electrical closet because he had a concussion

He makes sexists comments weekly

His life expectancy in Eugene (which is the other end of the world from Pullman) would be measured in nanoseconds

 

[Luckylucci]

ok

Leach's PAC 12 record ..........26-28.......

Didn't say it was a homerun hire, but I'd rather have Leach for what Oregon would have to pay him (let's say 4MM/year) than Jimbo for 7.5MM for 10 years or Taggart at 5MM for 6 years. Who, has a losing record as a HC.

At WSU the last 3 years, overall, he's 26-12. After he took over a complete dumpster of a program, that won 14 games in the 5 seasons prior to his arrival in 2012. And I think it's understandable it took him a few seasons to get the turnaround in place, as it's tough to recruit to Pullman.

He'd have a much better team in place when he walks on campus in Eugene. As well as, a DC in place that he didn't have when he started at WSU.

The 2017 coaching carousel is becoming very similar to the NFL franchises and it's lust for having to have a "big time" QB. Too much money being thrown at regular dudes, and it cripples a franchise/program, when you are wrong. Because at the end of the day, these all can't be elite coaches, which is what Arkansas, ASU, UF, etc. have found out the hard way.

Save the money on the buyouts with these crazy contracts for coaches that probably don't live up to them, and make it easier for the good coach to recruit. Upgrade facilities, increase assistant pay, etc. And, if an "elite" coach happens to be available, you are in a better position to make a play for that guy.

Leach would be a good hire.

Not in Eugene...far too liberal a town for his antics. Pullman is as backwater as the PAC12 gets and he is oK there.

You, very much like me, think Leach can be a very good coach. But it is all about fit. A very liberal west coast environment pretty much tops the chart as a really bad fit for a guy like Leach.

So you're telling me people in Oregon have issues with pirates??

Not in Ashland or even Corvallis....Eugene has issues with pretty much everything that is issuable.

I believe a famous phrase is the people who are too weird for California move to Oregon

LAX is gonna be on the lookout for a chance to make a Jimmy Mac bet.

"If he doesn't wash out and transfer, I will run a naked lap...."

I thought Jimmy was banned for not running his lap......"no lap, no peace!!!"

Think he found some BS loophole. Kid’s gonna make a great lawyer.

 

[dad4aa]

UCLA is our biggest threat I believe unless Oregon makes some type of home run higher

Based off what- that he was a one time verbal commit to oregon and that ucla's newly hired head coach was at oregon in 2013?

Your reply does not answer irishog’s question. Why is UCLA our biggest threat?

Lenzy will be in South Bend in 2 days. Crazy world we live in.

247Sports and Irish Illustrated informed its readers on Monday that Notre Dame was back in play for Portland (Ore. ) Tigard four-star wide receiver Braden Lenzy, a one-time Fighting Irish commit.

When the week started and dialogue was picking up between him and the Irish staff, Lenzy was still committed to Oregon, the school he flipped to from Notre Dame back in the summer. With head coach Willie Taggart leaving Oregon for Florida State, Lenzy decided to open up his recruitment.
On Wednesday, following an in-home visit with offensive coordinator Chip Long, Lenzy told 247Sports that he would take an official visit to Notre Dame this weekend for The Echoes, Notre Dame's annual football awards banquet.

"It went really great. There wasn't no awkward questions, we already knew each other," said Lenzy. "He made everything easy, both football-wise and with track. He and the entire staff are very supportive regarding me doing both at Notre Dame at the highest level. Honestly, it was great listening to how he sees me in the offense. He said I'd be in the two-deep and without a doubt, I could be a kick returner as a freshman."

This is a huge visit for the Fighting Irish coaching staff, because this group is pushing hard to get Lenzy in this class. He brings a ton of speed to the position and could be an immediate contributor, both in the two-deep at wide receiver, and as a kick returner as a true freshman.

Arizona State, Cal, Oregon, Colorado, Michigan State, UCLA and others remain in play for Lenzy and a decision could come at any time, whether than comes within a week or two, or closer to National Signing Day in February.

 

[Henges24]

Thanks for sharing that article. Looks like everything track-wise is cleared up. Lessssgoooo.

 

[zelezo vlk]

Lax is gonna Catfish Lenzy and blackmail him to transfer if the kid actually makes it to South Bend.

"He and the entire staff are very supportive regarding me doing both at Notre Dame at the highest level."

“They saw track as a secondary sport,” Lenzy said. “While I saw it as an equal.”

“To them it was if you have time,” said Tigard assistant football coach and head track coach Shane Kessler. “Their understanding of him running track was that it was an accessory.”

The more he pressed the more it became clear that not only was their outlook of the two disciplines completely different, but that the Irish preferred he give up running track altogether.

Well, which is it?

Notice that word “real”. That’s become a buzz word around Lenzy following the incident with the Irish. Because Lenzy believed he’d had the wool pulled over his eyes once before, he’s strived to only consider teams run by “real people”.

“I just now know that not everyone is telling the truth," he said of the experience. "It happened. I learned from it and I’m not going to let it happen again."

“You can say a lot of things and use a lot of words to describe coach Taggart, but the word that to me applies to him the most is real,” Lenzy said.

Just such a fucking joke. And the fact that he's not even going to own it is comical. I'm serious... if he doesn't at least acknowledge the bullshit he put out there in public less than a month ago I don't want him as part of this class.

Woah. That's one hell of a promise considering who's going to be on the roster next year.

like this kid's potential, and heavens knows if he has a little shake and the speed, and makes good return decisions...ND would have a return game.

The words I saw that always give me pause..."without a doubt". I still recall the first time I lined up on a college practice field...UM...yea BIG difference between 22 and 18...BIG difference between having your way with kids roughly your size, and a corner who can throw you 7 rows deep into the stands...big difference between fielding kicks when the margin for error is an entire second, maybe two...not .5 or less...big difference between seeing a crease and confidently running to it...and seeing where one should happen, and still hitting it up in there the same way. Maybe not now...but there will be doubts literally everywhere...sometimes its nice to have time to get it all to slow down...and it isn't failure to need to. Just sayin....

What an absolute douchebag.

As an Oregonian, that's embarrassing.

 

[greyhammer90]

Is this kid not a viable corner or is he just that much better as a WR? Cause we could use a corner or three.

They already have a good shot at 4-5 other corners still left on the board.

I get what you're saying, but he's 18. While there are 18 year olds that see the world in a more mature fashion, I believe there are probably way more that are more like Lenzy. Especially when it comes to their actions including social media and their emotions.

Years ago a house next door was under construction (framing with roof, no exterior brick or siding so you can see everything at that time). My son and his friends were playing football. One of the boys had good pants on and needed to change. We gave him a pair. Next thing I know the owners who are having the house built are banging at my door pretty irate because he saw the kid changing the pants in his house and they ran out when the neighbor pulled in. I explained what was happening and he yells, "Why in the hell didn't they change in your house?" My reply.........."They're 14 and 15 year old kids. Who knows why he decided to change there".

Bottom line..........I don't know how ND presented everything initially, but it appears the concerns have been resolved.
