ND offers Cass Tech '15 QB Jayru Campbell
Per Allen Trieu: https://twitter.com/#!/AllenTrieu
Campbell now holds two offers. One from EMU, and now one from notre dame. Now that a big school/rival has offered him, I think it's time Michigan start keeping a very close eye on him.
In the Cass Tech games I attended this past season, he looked really impressive. Including the playoff game where he outperformed commit Shane Morris.
Jayru set Michigan HS Football State Championship game records for touchdown passes in Cass Tech's throttling of Catholic Central. Campbell was a FRESHMAN setting records.
He has mentioned to me that he has a relative that currently attends Michigan, and that he also "likes the school."
Interesting that ND has offered him this early, but I think this won't be the first of early offers he will be getting.
My God, that is just...so early to offer a recruit that young.
Guy hasn't even finished his first year of high school...
At least Brian Kelly will have gotten run out of South Bend by then (obviously, for trying to strangle Tommy Rees).
I'm not trying to sound creepy, but I think I may have met you (assuming your name is Nate and your avatar is you). Are you a manager at a local business in AA?
I'm not trying to sound creepy, but I think I may have met you (assuming your avatar is you). Are you a leader of a local sports team in AA?
I'm not trying to sound creepy, but I think we indeed have met (assuming your avatar is you). Did you catch a game-winning pass for said local sports team in AA in 1979?
if by "manager", you mean "minimum wage employee" and "AA" is Alcoholics Anonymous of Kalamazoo, then yes!
If not, then it's a pleasure to meet you!
For basketball that is way, way late to offer. Just ask Tom Crean -
Hoke and Co. will offer soon and he will commit silently. No need for unwanted early press on this...he will be Blue.
"I think this won't be the first of the early offers he will be getting."
This should be an interesting recruitment and will be even more interesting if he commits to Michigan in the next few months
It's cool. By the time he graduates the ND program will be in ruins - even worse than it is now.
Seriously? The dude's like 15; he's got a ton of growing to do.
From all I've heard, this kid sounds like he's going to be an amazing college quaterback. But still, I'm shocked that 2015 kids are getting offers from top programs. For god sakes...he's a freshman!
BK coached in the state, and he likely wants to tap into Cass' talent pool, so why not offer a guy that early and hope that worst case scenario, you buildup goodwill at the school. Great idea, IMO (although Kelly is still a redfaced crazyman).
any kid at this age IMO, flat out. Now a 15 year old kid will have three years of constant questions, interview requests, fans asking his school preferences, constant phone calls and texts from coaches, all of which he'll enjoy at first but then grow very tired of, not to mention the potential Pryor factor, where guys become arrogant asses from all the attention. Why disrupt a kids best years with that? Can't we (meaning everyone) wait until after their junior year to offer them, what's wrong with that?
He must be the number one recruit of that class if he is being offered this early.
Jayru is so young, but has enormous upside. He is going to be a huge kid by the time he graduates, and if he gets his mechanics down will be a major dual threat recruit by the time he is out of HS. Im not saying anything that people dont already know here. Expect many more to offer this kid down the road. Hope he ends up at Michigan.
I'm not sure if he will even be rated as a dual threat. He looks more like a pro-style QB who can also make plays with his feet if necessary.
FWIW, that QB kid - David Sills - is apparently still dominating.
he looks pretty good to me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ac1LuPrasKM
If you can lead your team to a Div-1 State Championship by blowing out DCC as a 14 Year-Old.... that's saying something...
His measurables are impressive, but his ability to lead a team full of Div-1 upperclassmen says something else about his intangibles...
Great upside.
There is no telling who the coach of ND will be by 2015
Why hasn't Lane Kiffin gotten in on this kid yet? Slacking! Oh wait, it's probably because he's already had his '15 qb for 2 years already.
Does that really say 2015 or is there a typo in there somewhere????
Class of 2015 is correct.
15 years old and setting records.
Goddamn, I'm a sophomore and this kid is younger than I am....now I know how you guys all feel about recruits.
Current starter unable to outrun the cops?
Recruit someone faster!
Meme generator types...Go!
i'd like to see something in a "Raising Arizona" chase sequence, if I have a say.
Not a Gif, but it's something. "COME TO NOTRE DAME!!!!!!"
I'm being very serious when asking this but since they offered , if he got hurt and couldn't play anymore ( God forbid) could he take the scholarship offer and still get an education from ND?
I don’t see why any coach would. Yeah, it’d be rough for the kid, but why would they give someone an athletic scholarship if they aren’t an athlete?
there is an entirely new coaching staff at ND when he graduates from hs.
It would be completely up to ND to honor it. That's something they might do if he had already committed, not going to happen if he hadn't.
srsly?
Kelly won't even be at ND by the time this kid graduates. The way Kelly acts and the thugs he has been recruiting, he won't last much longer.
