John Turner 6’2" Safety from Indianapolis makes it 11. Recently offered he pulled the trigger quick. ND now has a solid crew of DB’s–lets hope they stick. Now lets get some RB’s Like to see some defensive tackles added to this group especially NG–really no one behind Nix. And you just can’t get enough OL’s. That now leaves about 9 slots left and just to be on the safe side–grab a QB.
C.J.Prosise 6’2" Safety makes it 8. ND now has 2 Safety and 2 CB commits for 2012. Prosise commits but has not yet visited. There is always concern, at least in my mind, when this occurs–keep fingers crossed for we now have a completed defensive backfield for this class if we can hold them. Great pickup with excellent speed.
ND picks up 3 commits: Nicky Baratti–6’2" safety from Texas. Yes. Ronald Darby-5’11" CB(Think Speed) from Maryland. Yes. Scott Daly 6’4′ Long Snapper from Illinois. Yes. That makes 5 in a short recruiting class and the CB position is finished.
BG Game– Fairly interesting. Lots of running around and many players – hard to keep track in the rain. I don’t care, I want names on jerseys from now on. Just because Gipp didn’t – excuse me, I don’t have a program for every game.
All QB’s did ok, both Hendrix and Golson can pass and run so the future looks good.
Without looking at the game again, I’ll just pick 4 players for comment:
If Tuitt shows up in shape and has the motor he very well could beat out current DE’s for starting position. Feel confident for this season especially on defense if injuries kept to a minimum – although I’m still concerned with the hamstring issue.
Special mention to Justin Utopo ILB played well. Keith Arnold from NBC on sideline so look for the inside scoop from him.
Also, check out Subway Domer – sort of like the Mark Steyn on football.
Looks like Nate Montana is now enrolled at Montana. MSNBC is reporting that Luke Massa is moving to wide receiver. Don’t know how fast or athletic he is, but he is 6’4". Maybe a shot at safety could happen.
