George West

[SirJohn]

The Observer tonight stated at the football banquet later today at 7 among those attending..It specificly mentioned James Aldrege, Chris Stewart and possibly George West as early entries. Here the Observer has West as Wide receiver/Kick returner.

[Rockne3d]

West is an electrifying kick returner. Probably the best we have had at ND since Vontez Duff.

[SirJohn]

:D Ahhhhhh Thanks for the info and comparison broker that helps visulise him. Until I found the above article all I knew was he had a DB slot. That DB just doesn't tell one much. Now a receivert that can really shake a leg and turn on speed is great news. This is what I like gradually a bunch of you guys can fill in the puzzle parts and the picture becomes clear, With 12 games it would be nice to see a returner whack 6 TD's a year for Special teams. If not that take it to the 20 yard line or so.

It's not far removed that's what Weis wants to build the outstanding O a Great and thieving D and Special teams for his third scalpal/knife to plunge in.

[SirJohn]

I hope Smith come into the fold monday as you reported. I'll add this here cause in just crusing some other ND sites I can't swear. Seeing Young and Wenger might commit soon.??????? Not a paid site rumor so alot weaker to put money on. Problem is I haven't seern a word on any of our people down in Florida. That would surely make some media notice. Could be like the two For campbell guys one went to ND the other UK??

[SirJohn]

Irish Eyes has a little short teaser on will George West enroll early? I think with at least one of the EE's we get the guy is completely done with HS work and even has some CCollege credits. The problem with the Irish Eye blurb is 'by pass his last sememster in HS. Does not say if there is any classes unfulfilled? Then too would ND Admissions allow that?

I was going to say in the accompanying Eirish Eyes Pix he looked muscular. However that's a cross armed muscle building stance where you can use your hands to enhance your biceps. Try it in the mirror next time your shirts off :lol:

why is it that Florida, always get these blue chip players, is coach Meyers that good or is it the water? thanks irishrick 8)

location, location, location

They have the sun, we have coach Weis. I'll take coach Weis.

[SirJohn]

broker is correct. Also a real feeding base schools, but it is location. A Fla or Texas kid can toss a ball and tackle 12 months a year usually.

Even most rabid Bucknut is not going outside when it's -5 and ground is frozen solid to practice. :(

[irishrick]

why dont we put a roof on the stadium, then could hold basketball and football games plus keep the snow of hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaa, just kidding ?? :)

George West-Power Lifter
From Scout.com

“As they say in Oklahoma City, ‘he’s rocked up’,” coach Kroeger said of West build. “He was a regional champion power-lifter for our power lifting team that won the state championship last year. He squatted 455 pounds, dead-lifted 540 pounds and benched 285 pounds at a 181-pound body. That’s very, very impressive. So to go along with all that speed, there’s a lot of power.

"Rocked Up"

God, I love that.

this kid is a beast, we have to find a way to get him on the field, those numbers and his playmaking ability is going to make him a special player in my opinon

[Champion10]

holy crap thats alot of weight :shock:

[SirJohn]

:D It sure is............... :lol: Well I can lift a 24 ouncer on my own. :lol: :drunk:

[Grason]

Yeah that's a lot of weight. I just started lifting not too long ago, and I'm in the ballpark with the deadlift and squat, but his bench destroys mine. I also give up about 30 pounds too. Any one else work out here?

[Rockne3d]

almost every morning, 6 am.

[Grason]

you probably lift with tom lemming on one side and rob ianello on the other :wink: .

I tried the early morning thing, but it wasn't the best fit for me. I hear that it is probably the healthier way to go though. I also read that more people stick to their schedule if they lift in the morning.

[SirJohn]

You guys need "The Beast" Reuban Mendoza screaming at you :lol:

[Champion10]

I work out but it is during school(weight Training).

[irishrick]

SJ IS THIS GUY A LOCK IN FOR nd, WHERE IS HE GOING TO PLAY de OR KICKOFF RETURNS??

[SirJohn]

I honestly do not know. broker says he's an exciting kick off returner. I can see Charlie is definitely taking kids with mutiple skills. That 'plug and play' he talks about.-

I do think the era of 'specilization' is fading. The day when you had a kicker go down your dead. Ditto runner, passper punter. I mean sure chose some punter for #1 but darn well have depth practice wise with others.

I predict a bunch of position changes come spring ball. Can we get a 'pre scrimage game going before fall?'

think troy brown, only faster and more explosive

[Rockne3d]

if you have access to the premium sites, go check out his videos. I see him being a big time kick returner.

[irishrick]

hey briker, why we losing these guys at the last minute,? o , lets move on let the NCAA have fun where their going. :) :( l

we sent mustain packing

there is a big difference between mccoy and mustain in that sense

I believe Young is in, but i guess we will find out thursday

[irishrick]

[Grason]
