    Deontay Greenberry was upgraded to a five-star WR, the #2 WR on 247.

    He will more than likely be boosted significantly in Rivals and ESPN since he dominated the Semper Fi Bowl and racked up over 2,100 receiving yards his senior season in California.

    Two guys who will make some noise in Brian Kelly's offense (i.e. no more throwing up prayers to John Goodman to win bowl games..)

    Deontay Greenberry - 6'3 185 4.44
    247 - #2 WR, #20 overall
    Rivals - #10 WR, #69 overall
    ESPN - #19 WR, #149 overall
    Scout - #7 WR, #108 overall

    Davaris Daniels - 6'2 190 4.52 (Class of 2011)
    247 - #12 WR, #63 overall
    Rivals - #21 WR, #178 overall
    ESPN - #12 WR, #65 overall
    Scout - #23 WR

    lol, I knew your cross country ass would come running when that was posted.


    He's been the best WR at every event he's been at for a year.

    Also, does your computer have a spellchecker?

    Why the hell are you on this thread? Don't you get put in the basement for breaking bets?

    I would expect a man of your great, great stature to respect the bets he makes and loses.

    The bet was for a year, and no Notre Dame was willing to make any bets to relieve the situation. Classless by ND fans, so I call it a fair trade. I will start a new account if this one is not allowed to post on Notre Dame threads. I don't care.
  • sleeper
    The other option is of course to take lines from this thread and start a whole new thread discussing that line without ND in the title.

    Either way, #sleeperwins

    uh he actually started out as an unranked 3* then he started going to the different combines and showcases over the summer. I assume you don't know how any of those rankings work do you?

    hahahahahahha

    Yeah Michael Floyd, Golden Tate, Jeff Samardzija, John Carlson, Kyle Rudolph, and Tyler Eifert weren't Ohio State-quality either.

    Notre Dame has it's issues with football, but it doesn't have anything to do with the receiving corp.

    It wasn't for a year. And either you leave or I leave.

    Just think if you could go two posts in a row without spelling something incorrectly.

    Jimmy's junior year was statistically better than any QB in Ohio State history... and that was on a 6-6 team

    I was unaware that Jimmy Clausen played defense?

    I don't really understand why all of you Buckeye fans got your panties in a bunch about my comment. It is a fair one.

    The 2011 Notre Dame team was really quite loaded with talent, the seniors were the #2 recruiting class in the country. The backfield was about to have two 1,000-yard rushers until Jonas Gray tore his ACL. The OL was very good, going two months without giving up a single sack (for a QB who is slower than I am) and run blocking for 4.8 yards a rush (27th in the country). The receiving corp had two all-Americans and a John Mackey Award finalist, and the defense's scoring ranked 26th in the country and played at a very high level for all but a few quarters.

    The quarterbacking though, was really rather pathetic when you take a look at it. On the surface, Tommy Rees looked like perhaps any sophomore quarterbacking dealing with a learning curve. But it was more than that. His fumble against Michigan opened the door for a comeback and he simply wasn't good enough to play with the defenses of Stanford and Florida State. In the Florida State loss particularly, he had the game winning drive going for him and he throws, incorrectly as post game interviews have stated, to a double-covered John Goodman instead of a single-covered guy running a simple drag. He is no good.

    The comment was meant to display how close this team really was to being very good. This wasn't a "Hey with Brett Favre or Otto Graham or Dan Marino they'd be undefeated!" That is asinine. Jimmy Clausen graduated from Notre Dame last year, his junior year he was outstanding and was good enough for third-best QB rating in the country with a 161.4 rating (just about Matt Barkley's this year).

    I don't think it's crazy to say "hey with the previous QB they'd be undefeated," it's a perfectly legitimate hypothetical statement. Would Jimmy Clausen have thrown that retarded interception that Dayne Crist threw against South Florida? I doubt it. Would he have fumbled--for no freaking reason--like Tommy Rees does against Michigan? I doubt it. Would he fumbled the snap like Dayne Crist did against Southern California? I doubt it. Would he have been a bitch against Stanford and Florida State? I doubt it.

    I'm not QQ'ing or anything, just simply realizing that this was Notre Dame's best team in awhile and they didn't get it done because of poor quarterback play. It'll be until 2013 until they are in position to make a run again.
