Thoughts?

so ND is close to accepting juco players?

 

I guess when you finish the season 1-5 a few more stones get looked under.

if ND offers the juco what does that say about where we stand with players like soso.

It says the usual. Soso is probably a nono.

He will OV for the banquet. And IMO of course JUCOs should be allowed at ND if they qualify. They make the grade, they deserve a chance. Their initial decision to attend JUCO may not have been academically related, though most are related.

is taking a JUCO really that much different then bringing in cody riggs.

After digging around:

 

RB - Jeremy Smith. He lists himself as 6'2, 220#

Here are his highlights: NCSA: JEREMY SMITH ‘14 RECRUITING PROFILE

 

More highlights here: Hudl: RB Jeremy Smith

What are you guys talking about? Notre Dame has a long history of junior-college transfer's. Look at Rudy

Basically some of my own inference from what I have heard...he could be the next commit and they are looking for him to come in January if possible. His dad will be with him on the visit next weekend.

It's kinda funny that some of you can tell me what BK had for breakfast this morning....but not many understand that ND currently does accept JUCOs.

I'm sure the school does. It's just so infinitely rare (when was the last time it happened in football?) that it's shocking to hear. We rarely take transfers. Now we're taking a JUCO transfer? Crazy rare!

After watching that pass blocking on his first clip, I completely understand why BK is interested. Of the 10 most important attributes in a BK RB, 9 of them are pass blocking.

Searching for info on him found this: his family is coming with him for the visit. They are most interested in the academic side; His dad loves ND; Was raised in a military family -- yes sir, nor sir environment; strong values; has always had 3.0 or better average and fell through the cracks in Louisiana high schools circles because there were so many good players his senior year; went the JUCO route to prove he could play with the big boys rather than take a lesser offer.

What's not to like? Sign me up for this guy!

Failing to see a downside to taking a JUCO that can make the grade academically.

 

The way I see it, better to have someone who has a couple of years of college under their belt, knows the rigor, can hack taking classes and playing ball, as opposed to some young shaver who's gonna bail or fail.

Is it just me or does he look kinda fat? lol

 

All joking aside...I'm on board with the signing if he wants in. Could be the power back with some speed.

I don't think there's an inherent downside to the person, automatically.

 

Just, how many JUCO's actually lineup their college classes so that transfers into ND could jump right right into a 4 year program and realistically graduate from ND on time?

No longer visiting. Possibly Louisville for him now.

damn..........

damn..........

 

Yeah ND could use a bigger back but something seems odd here. 3 RB targets have suddenly gone different directions. The only 2 remaining are Ronald Jones who is definitely coming and Cronkrite who technically could be viewed as an ATH more than pure RB. Things that make you go hmm...
