Not exactly official yet but I've been told the nation's #1 prep quarterback Gunner Kiel has decided to attend Notre Dame and early enroll this January. It was just a few weeks ago that Kiel was committed to Indiana but then decided to decommit and attend the Notre Dame-USC game along with 40 plus other top recruits.
For obvious reasons Kiel would be a tremendous coup for the Fighting Irish and head coach Brian Kelly. It's not too often you have a five star QB just fall into your laps so to speak but Kelly will definitely take it considering the amount of recruits Kiel could help bring in. The Irish are actively pursuing Nelson Agholor, a 6'2 180 lb speedy wideout, who is from Tampa, FL and is currently the #1 ranked athlete in the nation. Agholor visited Notre Dame in early October for the Air Force game and came away with the Irish on top of his list. Granted Notre Dame has been his only official visit so far with the Florida Gators being the main competition. Teaming up Kiel and Agholor in a class would be similar to what Notre Dame thought they were getting years ago when they paired Dayne Crist and Michael Floyd in the same class.
Another recruit that the Irish are pursuing actively is the #1 tailback in the nation in Keith Marshall. Marshall also officially visited with Kiel for the USC game and came away with the Irish neck-and-neck with his favorite school in Georgia. UGA has long been considered the leader for Marshall's services and the popular thinking was if Mark Richt stays in Athens then Marshall will be there next fall. The rumblings around Notre Dame is that Marshall is now leaning toward the Irish. I still have serious doubts he ends up anywhere else but UGA.
Still a long way till signing day in February so don't expect any early decisions from Agholor or Marshall but it should be a relief for Kelly to get Kiel (nephew of former ND QB Blair) signed and enrolled in early January so he can put his focus on the other recruits.
Here are some Youtube highlights of Gunner Kiel....
As an East grad and a longtime ND fan, I am giddy about Gunner going to ND. I hope this is true.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas early Irish Nation!
ReplyDeletewish this was a legit article with a legit source
ReplyDeleteanonymous, don't hate...congratulate
ReplyDeleteHah, how do you know it isn't legit? Trust me I wouldn't post it if I had bad information or a source.
ReplyDeleteMan, I really want to believe this, but I just can't until I see it on ESPN or Scout. Or of course, hear it from a source named Gunner Kiel.
ReplyDeleteYeah, nice email address. I clicked on your pic. You are really credible.
ReplyDeleteMore credible than some guy who hides behind an anonymous handle. yep.
ReplyDeleteAre you sure he is going to commit to ND? I'm hearing a big buzz about LSU lately...
ReplyDeleteLooks like you were right after all...
