IMO Kiser's film is amazing...it's hard to believe a Grade 11 kid being that impactful on both sides of the ball.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but this isn't a guy I'd take in the middle of the summer.

He looks athletic enough to play, but you can tell he's undersized, and with short arms too. He doesn't even stand out physically against high schoolers. I guess I don't want another Drew White in the middle of the summer. If it's after the season and we're desperate? Sure, make the call. But I'd hard pass for now.

What you'd be getting with Kiser is athletic ceiling at LB that probably surpasses everyone on ND's LB board and roster.

Personal Records:

55m - 6.87
60m - 7.57
100m - 11.10
200m - 22.44
Discus - 166-10
Shot Put - 54-3

Also, you think he's undersized but that kid will be 240+ if they chose to run him at Buck.

That's really great athleticism for a LB, I didn't realize that. But I still can't get over how "normal" he looks out there with 21 other high schoolers on the field.

I watched him beat us in semi-state this year. Trust me, he can turn it on and make really good high school football players look absolutely silly. I honestly don't think he goes 100% all the time. (Which is just another gripe entirely.)

I get that he can dominate HS. But so could Drew White and he probably will never play real snaps at ND. I can't get over how similar they look size-wise, and that's a limiting factor when you get to college.

I don't want to harp on him anymore, and maybe I'm wrong, but I would pass if I were ND considering it's mid-year.

You know this personally?

 

[snoopdog]

You know this personally?

Edge is close to Kiser somehow, so probably truish

 

[zelezo vlk]

Also, somebody on ISD (non-staff) was under the impression that Kiser is announcing today. Maybe it was Edge on there too? I'd say it's happening tonight then

 

[Luckylucci]

Speculation was he’s going to announce sooner rather than later for ND. So not too surprising. We have Turner and Sinclair coming on OV’s soon. Osita with an expected June decision. So timeline to lock in a spot makes sense.

How would everyone rank the prospects at LBer out of Osita Ekwonu, David Gbenda, Nick Henrich, Tristan Sinclair, Asa Turner, and Jack Kiser? I think I’d go...

Osita Ekwonu
Tristan Sinclair
Nick Henrich
David Gbenda
Jack Kiser
Asa Turner

Thoughts?

Is it just me, but I wasn't blown away by Osita's film. I thought is was okay by highlight film standards....But when you have an entire season to put together a highlights, I thought it was quite underwhelming.

Me fears Osita may be the 2019 version of Ewell.

I, on the other hand, do not fear that. He looks incredibly atthletic. Time will tell.

I like this one. Partially because I like all the players involved and could understand a case being made for any of them. Also, this answer could easily change tomorrow.

As of today, I'd go:

Osita
Turner
Gbenda
Sinclair
Henrich
Kiser

Jack Kiser

I think Sinclair is an excellent rover, which should be a linchpin role in this defense. Love Ekwonu's upside and Henrich's height/position versatility. Turner seems to have a ton of god given talent, but I'm not totally sure where he plays. I'm probably too low on him. Gbenda/Kiser are a toss up, but both guys who bring something intriguing to the table. I wish Gbenda was 2 inches taller and Kiser played at IMG. Then I'd have no questions.

 

[BobbyMac]

Announces tomorrow.

 

[irish o'phile]

Any chance here? The thread seems to indicate a potential, but 247 has no ND cbs.

NVM, read a little more. Likely not ND.

 

[dublinirish]

committed to wisconsin

 

[ab2cmiller]

Sounds like Lytle is on decommit watch.
