[BobbyMac]

3.5 GPA at a highly rated private school

2 way player on one of the better 3A schools in AL (Out of 7A)

Had 4 Off TD's -- 2 Int's/1 P6 -- 4 PRTD -- 1 KRTD in 12 G.

Big kid already at 6-2/185. Maybe not a CB long term?

247 thinks Georgia leads - Mansell has a CB-6 in for him.

Now the important stuff:

Dad's from Gary and an ND fan.

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

But what is mom's preference?

 

[BobbyMac]

“That was definitely one that I definitely wanted,” Harris told Irish Breakdown. “My dad is actually a huge fan of Notre Dame because he's from Gary, Indiana, so I actually grew up watching Notre Dame with my father. It was a blessing, but I didn't know it was coming. I was shocked, but I definitely took it all in. I love their coaching staff, and it was a pleasure for me and my dad to get on the phone with them and talk with them.”

Would love to have a 6'2" CB. GPA at a private school tells me the kid has a head on his shoulders. I won't be surprised to see some predictions come our way.

he dont look 6'2" in that video above though

 

[Irish du Nord]

Yeah maybe not, but tough to say because he gets really low in all the reps. When he rises after the rep is finished he looks much taller. Still unsure, but I'm willing to take his word for it

Was Alpha Dog at UA All America per Ivins/247.

Of course, he doesn't mention ND when reporting on schools involved.

Loy with the same sentiment as Singer.

 

[fightingirish26]

My hopes are alllllll the way up. Some of his quotes are eye opening. Straight A student as well. Wants to decide soon. I actually think he's Irish and I'm trying so hard not to be a homer.

Things looking good.

The Loy article is free.

This quote: “I'm not from Alabama. I'm definitely from California.” That definitely he threw in there feels weirdly important. Like a don’t even act like I’m locked into the South.

Ive said on at least 3 occasions it’s not worthy griping over landing CB #5 versus #25 in a given year given how hard a projection at CB is, Harris can be that instant absolute game changer. The couple CBs a year where you say damn that kid starts as a true freshman.

Well, Dale the "I'm definitely from California" quote is telling. Alabama can be culture shock for a move in. there is some strange juju down there, and the recent travail of philandering governors, justices and a certain bigamist football coach can be head scratchers.

While it would seem counterintuitive, it may have been easier for the Tide to corral Harris is he had STAYED in California rather than moved to Alabama.

In Saban's program you are sort of a "bubble" but when you go to high school in Alabama well, you see all the pockmarks. Even cultural and sociological say we say, Zits.

I have a long time friend who is from Buffalo, a successful dad and granddad, but even he has to bite his tongue about some of the insular claptrap.

I could go on.......

 

[Irish#1]

"This decision could change my life for the next 40 years if I were to go to #Notre Dame

At least we know he was paying attention during his visit.

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

He has my attention

"Notre Dame is realistic, because I'm not from Alabama. I'm definitely from California, raised in Germany, so I'm not entitled to any of those schools and I'm entitled to what's best for me and my family. So, it's not Alabama, Georgia or Clemson — it's what's best for me and what can help me off the field as well. I believe Notre Dame is a balance of both worlds and people will be shocked… My dad did 20-plus years in the military. It's not like I've just been in Alabama my whole life which is the funny part.”

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

He has my attention

Paraphrasing: "Don't act like I only eat shrimp and grits - we all know eggs benedict is where it's at"

 

[BobbyMac]

I'm not from Alabama. I'm definitely from California

All I can picture after I read that.

 

[IrishLion]

Sounds like he's got a chip on his shoulder with people assuming he's going to pick one of the 'southern' powerhouses just because he's in Alabama.

I'm not mad about it.

Time for Mickens to earn that paycheck and close the deal.

 

[BobbyMac]

I'll be talking to Pops real soon, Region to Region.

We'll get this nailed down.

And did anyone read the comment section attached to the FREEBIE from 247?

Those guys are acting like AJ picked out a room in Dillon or something.

Old man is career military. I like that. Am I dumb for thinking ND has a shot here??
