January 12, 200718 yr Author i really hope ND can land smith, in a few years he could be a real difference maker on defense.
January 12, 200718 yr Agreed. He will really get a chance to show what he can do right away. He might not start his freshman year, but I could see him getting a ton of time in 09 (like T. Smith in '08).
January 12, 200718 yr If Polian is on his way out, would that hurt us recruiting Smtih??? The gooe news is that he says distance is not a factor which is a plus for us.
January 12, 200718 yr If Polian is on his way out, would that hurt us recruiting Smtih??? The gooe news is that he says distance is not a factor which is a plus for us. I wrote this on another thread. With the rumors about Polian and Polian being his recruiter, this can't help the situation.

I wrote this on another thread. With the rumors about Polian and Polian being his recruiter, this can't help the situation. You're probably right, but Polian is a ST coach. If we bring in some new staff that coaches the defense, and more specifically LB's, then I think we can maintain our position with Smith. We could lose this kid over our coaching changes, no doubt, but this needs to happen ASAP to see if we can shore up our defense.
January 12, 200718 yr Hopefully all of those rumors about his parents no liking SC b/c of Steve's academic situation are true. Also, if we do get Corwin, maybe he can make a visit to Malcolm after he's done with Donald and Edwards. M. Smith is a very important get for us now and I agree that he can really be an impact guy in another year or two.
January 16, 200718 yr Author says he's real high on both ND and Cal, he also says he'd like to major in engineering (both Cal and ND have great engineering programs). http://www.usatoday.com/sports/recruiting/football/west/2007-01-15-west.htm?csp=34

But, I hope NDs academic support programs are superior... that would tip the scale for me. Engineering is a grind of a program.
January 19, 200718 yr Author malcom smith is scheduled to visit USC today then make his decision. can we expect an announcement by the end of january?
January 19, 200718 yr There is a new article on Rivals about ND possibly going after Paul Stefanik (who is a 2* LB currently committed to Kent). I wonder if this is just an article to fill space, or if the staff feels like Smith is gone.
January 19, 200718 yr Author it has to be a filler, i don't think ND would waste a scholorship for next year on this kid. at a combine he was messured at 6'1 185 lbs. and clocked at 4.78 40.
January 19, 200718 yr This guy might come back to haunt ND recruiting class. And he wanted to come but the staff said hold on..... http://scout.scout.com/a.z?s=157&p=8&c=1&nid=1800982
January 19, 200718 yr Author i don't remember what the deal was or why he was never offered but i bet ND would take him now.

January 19, 200718 yr The deal with these 2 are that they were both considered 2nd tier targets by the staff and were "on hold" til the smoke cleared for the 1st tier guys. The only problem was that they wanted to commit early….so ND missed out on the chance to fall back on them after the others had committed.
