If we didn't take the lead, I have little hope. He sounds like he wants to prove he's USC material, instead of being a BAWS at ND.

I don't have the greatest feeling about this either. But he does have an Indiana Dad at home and a lot of Notre Dame influences in his life besides the obvious attending NDP.

There's zero doubt to me he's the best offensive prospect ND has on their board. He's '19's ASB. Hopefully the end of the script doesn't read the same way.

 

[BobbyMac]

Hopefully that's Gramps with Dad and hopefully he taught Dad how to be an Irish fan.

I wish one of the services would ask what part of Indiana they're from (?)

I agreed, I watched his tape. There aren't many with that kind of speed/top end burst.

If his potential is fully realized, he'll be one the DC's have to account for on every play. He'll absolutely abuse man coverage.

 

[ab2cmiller]

247 update now has him ranked #165 in the 247 up 122 spots with a 92 ranking

 

[BobbyMac]

A second CB for his Dream Team from an Oregon analyst.

Let's hope they lay an egg next year and the only SC games he goes to are the ASU game which will be half empty and the ND game which will be full because it's ND and the 25,000 Irish fans that attend. Let him understand SC football is like pro wrestling, lots of hype and talk but unless it'w Wrestlemania, it's taped in front of a small audience that the cameras expertly conceal from you.

...and it's only gonna get worse when kids coming up like the more exciting Bruins more and two pro teams continue taking up half the weekend's disposable income.

The Trojans think they are marching towards victory when in fact they are heading to the gallows.

 

[BobbyMac]

Rivals moved him up to #9 ATH and #104 Overall (up 60 spots)

That's still about 100 spots to low. This is a 5 star prospect.

Was just out in Scottsdale yesterday. Had a few hours to burn before my flight home, should have dropped off a bag of loot. Would have consisted of about 33 bucks and some snacks but it's better than nothing.

Actually, I'll just let Crusader cover that.

You made it out with $33 and snacks??? You didn't golf enough nor did you stay at Talking Stick Casino for too long.

Haha definitely didn't golf enough. Every time I'm out there I want to go to Top Golf just to see what it's all about but never have the time to go and definitely don't have time to get a full round in. Usually out there for a day for some appointments at Mayo and fly back as soon as possible for work but it sounds like I'll have an extended stay in May for at least a few days so maybe I can get some golf in then. Top Golf worth checking out or should I just try getting a round in somewhere?

Top Golf is probably the best meat market in town. Always loaded with talent. The individual tee boxes serve as VIP lounges more so than tee boxes. It's quite the experience so the the answer is yes, definitely go to Top Golf but leave your sticks in the car, you'll only need one club to play that course and it's above the bag, not in it.

 

[dublinirish]

they are building a Top Golf about 15 mins from my house. Never been to one, are they any good? After growing up playing on courses at home where even caddy cars not to mention carts are banned it seems very American to me haha

Never been to one but I am dying to do so whenever I can. They seem to be a blast.

They are solid.. Its like darts meets golf if that makes any sense. There is a variety of games to chose from and you get points.. I have found its better than a regular driving range because you are working on accuracy more consistently. Only problem at least with the one by me is you never take out the driver. Good booze, food, tvs, couches. Its real solid though. $8 a game.

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

While I also believe Jake Smith likely isn't coming to ND, maybe someone could start a "Golfing, Networking and Schmoozing" thread so we can keep the discussion on how we aren't getting a specific player?

Oh man you're missing the good points if you don't pull the driver out! Middle white in the back gets you big points in "Top Score". I can only get there from the 3rd floor though. I am awful at golf.

Kiss of death. He’ll commit to play lax at ND and leave to have an all world football career elsewhere.

Loy with a CB for the Irish!

You made me go back and double check. Then I realized....lol.

 

[Luckylucci]

Just to be clear it was a CB for USC, from Loy
