Morice Blackwell offered. Love the film. JOK clone and rover candidate. Ran an 11.6 100 meter which is acceptable for an LB.

Blessed to receive an offer from the University of Notre Dame @BrianPolian @Coach_Lea #NotreDame https://t.co/foo6ZRIty7

I can't agree more. His film is awesome and JOK is a great comparison except I think he he looks a little more polished than JOK did at this point. Kid should rise in the rankings.

Turn off the lights.

247 now showing offers from Georgia and Bama. hmmm

 

[BobbyMac]

I think he got the Bama offer the same day as ND.

This kid was always gonna end up with all the offers.

 

[BeauBenken]

Kid's film is great. I think it's just a size thing which should play great for ND I'd think.


If he's too small to compete for early LB playing time let him compete for it at Rover.

This makes me 3x more sad than Shipley.

Same. He should have been a too of the board recruit.

Who’s to say he wasn’t and just not interested? Believe or not, some guys just don’t want to play for ND. At no fault of anybody on staff. It’s not like he ended up at Stanford. He stayed in state to play for hometown U.

Agree 100%. Pretty easy for UT to make a pitch for a lot of reasons, and as you say not everyone is attracted to ND. In metro Dallas, H.S. kids are bombarded with Big 12 and SEC, and if they're top line players just add add all the big boys from Big 10 and Pac 12. Pretty tough for ND to wiggle in unless there is some sort of interest or connection.

 

[stpeteirish]

anyone left on the rover board?

Josh Moore. Same HS as Kyle Hamilton.

Hopefully he is Moore of the same.
