I probably shouldn't say much. But I have an acquaintance that may have been professionally involved with his rehabilitation. From everything I may have heard, this kid is the real deal, rags to riches.

My guess is he is an example of someone with a great foundation of a character at the core, but had some bad examples, and was taught some bad behaviors, that he worked hard to overcome, and is now becoming the high-character, awesome person of his potential.

I really like his t-shirt in the photo!

A lot of people don't realize but he is actually really intelligent. I know he had a 1300 SAT (under the old system) in high school.

Since when is 1300 considered really intelligent? I pulled that stoned..

Since italics are sarcasm font, I thought underline italics could be our pretentious font?

Did ND practice today, or what? How odd. Nothing about practice at all. First day I have seen anything like it.

I thought you were being facetious! With what is going on, and with media day tomorrow, I thought that they would have a real, albeit under the radar practice, today!

Brent looks impressive physically. He is looks to be the next thickest after Prosise to me.

I'm really, really rooting for Amir to have a big season. i'd like to see him asked back because he seems like such a good guy. I hope he puts up 600-800 yd year with 5+ TDs.

Nothing other than when BK gave updates a while ago..I believe it was 4-6weeks...

I agree. He really can't do anything for at least four weeks. Then he has to get his legs back and I just don't see him making an impact this year unfortunately. Hopefully he proves me wrong.

YES!

What an intelligent, well-spoken kid. I'm an eternal optimist (Kool-Aid anyone?) but this receiving corps has me really jacked up!

Agreed. With DD out indefinitely, I'm so excited to see who steps up. I know coaches are high on Chris Brown, but guys like Amir and CJ have me giddy about our big play potential.

Also, am I right in assuming the uniform reveal, the BK presser, and the players presser will be streamed on WatchND?

The reveal and BK presser will be streamed live there, I'm not sure on the players presser.

I sort of agree with you. Interesting that you say this. I have been thinking a lot about slot lately. Here is the progression.

ND has a tight end that can block in line, run good routes and be deadly attacking the seam. You say we have had phenomenal tight ends for as long as you can remember? I agree, but this year we have quarterbacks with the arm that can exploit it.

I remember going into last year with conversations (as late as) questioning whether we have a receiver that could consistently take the top off of a defense. Now we have two, maybe three, with some level of consistency in their overall game.

We also are getting the feeling that backs out of the backfield will contribute to this offense's productivity.

With that, I don't see talking slot as an Amir conversation exclusively. Amir has always had some real shake and bake. He does very well in space, and has an extra gear. But part of what makes him so dangerous is what happens when he isn't on the field; namely CJ Prosise. CJ may not look it but he consistently weighs in at around 220 lbs. And he consistently shows his speed, which is plentiful. This year from all of his clips it looks like he has made a confident adjustment to his position, and his pass catching is improved.

What intrigues me about this all is the position group, specifically accounting for the different profile each of these young guys presents. Think about it! Big heavy linebacker on a run oriented team? Amir leaves him in the dust! DB in a dime package? No way CJ doesn't burry 'em! Because with the overall receiving skills of this offense, and the threat of having every quarterback on the roster being able to tuck the ball and run, you are rarely going to get a situation with more than an overmatched one-on-one at this position. And if everybody else does their job, there isn't going to be a whole lot of help over the top!
