More Spring Practice Training
Great video of full pad practice provided once again by Jack Nolan at und.com–both he and Diaco have great hair.
Recruiting
Not too much going on this weekend compared to last weeks blockbuster But there is one 4 star TE recruit currently visiting:
Mike Heuerman 6’4″ 215 lbs from Naples Fla–currently interested in ND, OHIO STATE, LSU AND MIAMI. I think this is a longshot since his brother plays for Ohio State. Would be a nice pickup but even if he commits scumbag Urban will be all over him until NSD.
In any event we already have commit Matuska who could play TE even though he was recruited as a DE.
Right now ND looks in good shape as long as we keep what we have.
QB Update 3/23
Here is a good video clip from und.com zeroing in on the QB’s:
Commit #9 Corey Robinson
That must have been some Junior weekend as Corey Robinson commits to ND.
6’4″ 190 lb WR from Texas–son of David Robinson from Navy and the NBA–real nice pickup.
That makes 9 in and maybe 11 positions left for this class lets hope ILB prospect also from Texas jumps in soon.
Linebacker Recruits
Wish List–guys I really want:
Alex Anzalone ILB 6’3″ 220 lb Penna.
Jordan Mastrogivanni ILB 6’2″ 225 lb Texas
Jaylon Smith OLB 6’3″ 218 lb Indiana
Garrett Sickels OLB 6’4″ 230 lb New Jersey
C’mon guys pull the trigger
Commit #8 Rashad Kinlaw
ND on cruise control weekend landing 5 outstanding Commits,
# 8 Kinlaw 4 star athlete (CB ?) 6′ 175 lbs from the state of New Jersey–great pickup.
Keep it rolling–would love to see the 2 big LB’s who visited pull the trigger.
Now get all these guys back for Blue/Gold Game and stay on top of them til NIS,
Make That 7 Commits
ND completes it’s OL recruitment of 4 by landing Mike McGlinchy a massive 6’9″ 280 pounder from good old Phila Pa.
So we have:
Steve Elmer
Colin McGovern
Hunter Bivin
Mike McGlinchy
WOW !!!!!!
NOW LETS KEEP THAT BASTARD URBAN MEYER AWAY FROM THEM.
Terrific Junior weekend for the coaching staff.
Commit #6 QB
Irish Sports Daily reporting ND landed QB Malik Zaire 6’1″ 190 lb from Bishop Alter HS Ohio 4 star–also offered by Ohio State and others but anytime we can stiff Urban is really good news–that probably wraps up QB recruiting.
I have a bone to pick with all the other sites–I really like Carlo Calobresse–I also really like Dan Fox but as an OLB. DANNY SPOND should be hy-brid Safety. I want another hammer opposite Teo–obvious passing downs I’d play all safeties–we have plenty.
Check out again video from und.com on previous posts–granted this is just a peek at practices but what stood out to me was # 59-Jarret Grace very impressive, 72- Nick Martin,74–Lombard, # 66 Watt, # 41 Farley and an excellent battle #70 Zack Martin vs # 89 Kap Moore.
As mentioned little to go on and I want names on jerseys and jumbotron for 2012 season–Rockne would do it in a NY minute–he was an innovator but most important a promoter.
Spring Practice Day 3 In Pads
Great video provided by und.com – really getting after it.
Enjoy Enjoy!!!
ND Adds 2 Commits On Junior Day
ND helps itself with 2 Blue Chip Offensive Lineman Commits to go along with Steve Elmer. These guys had offers from everywhere. Helped that both grew up ND fans.
# 4 Colin McGovern 6’7″ 285lbs from Illinois
# 5 Hunter Bivin 6’7″ 290 lbs from Kentucky
Both will probably arrive at ND over 300 lbs.
Feeling a lot better about this position–believe ND wants to add one more OL.
Seems all the other recruits had a good time also.
Total now at 5 with approx 15 to go. And the 5 we have look really solid.
