Wide receiver recruit Tai-ler Jones, son of former Notre Dame linebacker Andre Jones, is announcing his college decision on Thursday and the Irish are among seven finalists according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution. Jones had some pretty positive comments about Notre Dame in the article: “Notre Dame is a great school … and I know [...]
Video: Shaquelle Evans – ’09 WR Commit
As National Signing Day (NSD) approaches next week, I figured I’d go through and find any new videos of Notre Dame commitments and prospects remaining, so keep checking back this weekend as we should have a bunch of videos going from all over. Here’s one of Shaquelle Evans – our lone true wide receiver commitment.
A Little More Info on Damien Thigpen
Did a little research on Thigpen last night and here’s some interesting quotes I found. One thing stands out – Thigpen is one fast dude and is dangerous in the open field. I’m a little surprised that no one seems to bring up the possibility of Thigpen playing wide receiver. His height would be an [...]
Video: Damien Thigpen – ’09 RB
Here’s is a video from ESPN from Damien Thigpen – a late prospect for Notre Dame this year. He shows some great speed out of the backfield in the video. Unfortunately there isn’t any footage of him playing defensive back in this clip. Still, his speed looks legit.
Late RB Prospect for ’09?
According to GolVolsExtra, Notre Dame will be getting a late visitor next on February 13. Damien Thigpen, a speedy running back/defensive back, looks to be visiting Notre Dame on the 13th after apparently being told he wouldn’t fit into Lane Kiffin’s system. Tennessee commitment Damien Thigpen is pursuing other options after being told he would [...]
Video: Byron Moore – ’09 S – Part 2
Here’s another video of Byron Moore – this one from the USC Camp last spring. Moore shows the ability to come up to the line and play press coverage a bit in this video. The more video of Moore I see, the more I’d like to see him as part of this class. USC Camp: [...]
Video: Byron Moore – ’09 S
Here is a video of ’09 safety prospect Byron Moore. Moore has got good speed and very good coverage skills for a safety. If Notre Dame could somehow land Moore and fellow safety prospect Jawanza Starling, the Irish would have a great tandem of safeties in this class. Moore has the better coverage skills and [...]
Newberg Predicts Te’o to Notre Dame
The Rivals experts made some predictions about where they think the remaining top 100 prospects will end up come next week’s Signing Day and Notre Dame fans will be pleased to see that Jamie Newberg is predicting superstar linebacker Manti Te’o will end up at Notre Dame. Mike Farrell, Jeremy Crabtree, and Barton Simmons meanwhile [...]
Byron Moore Sets Announcement Date
Notre Dame is currently waiting on three recruits to make their college decisions with safety Byron Moore being one of them. Moore recently decommitted to USC and was scheduled to visit LSU this weekend. Moore will now visit Colorado instead and then make his college decision next Wednesday on Signing Day. Moore’s announcement will be [...]
Nyshier Oliver to Tennessee
Nyshier Oliver made a weekend visit to Tennessee and on Tuesday he committed to the Vols – the team he originally committed to before switching his pledge to Notre Dame. Considering Oliver visited this late in the game, it isn’t surprising that he switched to Tennessee, but I did find this passage from GoVolsExtra a [...]
Gaffney Headed to Stanford
Fullback Tyler Gaffney committed to Stanford over Notre Dame Monday afternoon according to Rivals.com. Gaffney had eliminated USC over the weekend after canceling a scheduled trip to Los Angeles and was down to just Notre Dame and Stanford heading into today’s announcement. This is indeed a big loss for the Notre Dame recruiting class this [...]
Tyler Gaffney Announcing Today Too
Notre Dame will very likely pick up a commitment for 2010 this afternoon, but could also pick up one for 2009 as well. Fullback Tyler Gaffney will announce his decision on Monday after eliminating USC from consideration. He had been scheduled to visit USC this past weekend, but is now down to just Stanford and [...]
Video: Corey Cooper – 2010 Jr WR Offer
While I’m in the spirit of posting highlights of 2010 wide receiver prospects, here’s one of Corey Cooper. Scout lists Cooper at 6’2″, 195 lbs with 4.4 speed – sounds like a wide receiver with the perfect combo of size and speed.
