LB <t>a 3 star OLB? well, let's hope the coaches saw something that others didnt cause his offer list aint much to talk about.</t>
:idea: re: Jonathan Bonner This kid is not a famous recruit, but some kids play for lazy high school coaches who don't promote them. My old high school fired one of those at the end of last season. His players were walking on at places like Stanford, UCLA and Oregon while the fans at those schools were saying "Wow! Where did this kid come from?" I notice that Bonner has been offered at every recruiting camp that he has attended. Even the Missouri coaches had never heard of him and the kid plays in that state, but they offered him too. At 6'4" 255 lbs he's too big to hide, so I'm going to assume that his HS coaches are lazy. BTW- he also has a 3.8 GPA, so I hope Stanford doesn't hear about him. Remember, Rocky Boiman and many others were discovered at try-out camps... http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/player-Jonathan-Bonner-146288 Now watch some film. This kid and his family have been promoting him when the high school didn't. Did you ever see a defensive end run down a tailback from behind after he broke into the clear? This kid has some wheels that are highly unusual for a DE. No wonder he gets offered at every camp he attends. I'm glad he picked Notre Dame... <iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/SXfOhx5w4qE?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0"></iframe>
I'd rather have a three star player who really wants to be there than a five star prima donna. I was at a NY Giants football game years ago when Lawrence Taylor blitzed from the weak side end as Randall Cunningham ran a naked bootleg the opposite way. LT ran him down like a cheetah and Cunningham could motor.
He looks like he has a good pair of hands. He could play either DE of TE. The video indicates he was first team all state. How does he fly under the radar?
If you remember when Kelly arrived he talked a lot about developing players because he'd never had access to 4 and 5 star talent before. He rarely even got 3* kids. He also emphasized he wanted the right kind of kid (RKG) and recruited by body type. Big Power, Big Skill, etc So far his best players have been those 4* and 5* kids he has recruited, some of the lower ranked players are still developing ( I hope) But I do like that, as JO'Co pointed out, that he's been offered at every camp that he's been to this summer after being a little off the radar.
:idea: Notre Dame football: Bonner’s ties to Notre Dame run deep http://www.southbendtribune.com/sports/article_d790f85a-dee0-11e2-b153-0019bb30f31a.html
Bonner <t>well hopefully my doubts will be proven wrong and the kid becomes a great player for the Irish. Welcome to Notre Dame young man!</t>
So who's Michigans biggest rival? Well maybe I should rephrase that and ask who does Mich charge the most for a ticket for, that would be their biggest rival right, I mean the big game always draws the highest ticket price right? So it must of course be the Buckeyes, right?
Terry, Since Michigan enjoys more success against Notre Dame than Ohio State, might be the answer? :wink:
It's cold in fricking November...stadium prices down. Nobody wants to listen to those fricking television ND announcers...stadium prices up. :wink: Hey, don't blame me...you started it.
LOL...hey it's at UM so it's ABC announcers not NBC!! 8) And I always thought people up north (the PUN) loved their cold weather football! Sitting in the snow freezing your butt off in Lambeau or Mich or Ohio Stadiums were badges of honor!! What I am truly suprised at though is that they expect to have enough single game tickets available that this pricing model even makes sense to them. I know most team, even ND have single game tickets available but it's never really very many and what they sell for is insignificant no matter what the price.
Or maybe it's because one of the rivals will continue to be there every other year (how boring) while the other is taking it's talents elsewhere. :?:
:roll: Most NFL, NBA and MLB players go broke within two years of leaving the game. This includes college grads like Zorich too. Even smart guys like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar went belly up financially. Just last week, Curt Schilling filed for bankruptcy after being paid more than $100 million during his career, then betting the whole pile on a start-up baseball card company. Stories like this make me wonder. It was probably Babe Ruth who began the trend of players living the life of a Persian potentate, but that doesn't explain what's going on now. I confess that I don't get it...
