Truuuuuuuuuu, for the record I 100% believe you and appreciate the info but you aren't going to last very long the way you are posting. Don't get so defensive. Chill out and collect reps when it turns out you are right.

Thanks for the sentiment as well, but as stated above, this is not the first time reading this board.

Im not too concerned with "lasting very long'. Just overly ecstatic for my guy to get his shot. Figured Id spread a little knowledge this Morning (tried last night, but didnt have posting privileges) and get everyones brains working.

IMO Notre Dame will not go the high school route for their SC coach... They need a program to get them on par with Bama and Stanford, not IMG Academy

Expect a name within the next 48 hours or so as the contract is being finalized now.

Not anyone many of you have heard of, but very successful at the High School level in my opinion. Is the SnC coach for a 2017 commit.

People will bitch and moan, but he's very good at what he does.

First post-no italics.

People give you a bunch of shit around here, but you're much smarter then half these folks.

Well done, Inspector Gadget.


Why create a new username, if you aren't trolling?

So if he is an assistant, Im assuming the S&C coach has been hired/located since Im assuming he would have to be on board with an assistant?

That's what I would assume as well. Mike Frank from ISD said last week or early this week that ND was looking to hire two people potentially. One from a big time program, and the other would be an outside the box hire. I would assume this person from the high school ranks would be the outside the box hire.

I believe we have a coach in place.. The problem is with back ground checks, the school won't announce it til all the I's are dotted...

You dont need a username to read. I also have the day off work, and if you were as stoked as I am, youd sit on IE all day too

Im not trolling. Id love to put a name out there, but what kind of guy would I be to go against my word?

Some here are stupid close to putting 2 & 2 together.

You both can mock me. Not bothersome to me.

DB are his initials. I expect a slow jerk and a ball rub when it comes out.

Ben Boulware thinks this post is perfectly fine, and anyone who thinks it's out of line is a scared little loser.

David Ballou would be a home run hire, you could let him recruit just IMG academy and if he brings 1 or 2 guys to ND every year that will be great.
