Recruit QB Clawson going to ND...Quinn come out in Sup. draft?

[Chuck 54]

Once again people, Clausen is still a junior in High School at this time. He will sign his letter of intent to attend ND in February 2007, when Brady Quinn's ND football career is over.

hahahaha...they aren't listening, man....they still miss the point.

The only reason this is in the news is because Clausen may be the best prospect at the QB position in the history of the world...he's been on ESPN since he was a freshman...he's announcing a verbal committment only to ND.

The kid will be coming in as a true Freshman in the fall of 2007...after Quinn comes out next year...that's probably why he chose ND, to follow Quinn under the tutilage of Weiss.

 

[CATCH17]

an incoming freshmen isnt going to steal the job of a heisman candidate like Quinn.

It wont be possible for him because he will still be in highschool but a lot of you havent heard the hype on this kid.

He's supposedly the Lebron James of highschool football.

He would go to these Quarterback camps with bigtime college QB's and they wouldn't throw with him because he could make throws as a sophomore that they couldn't make in college.

Both of the brothers have admitted that he is better in highschool than they were in college.

So to say he couldn't give Brady Quinn a run for his money isn't as black and white as it would appear. However it is just pure speculation.

Personally I dont think he could beat out Quinn just because of experience but he could come in his freshmen year and set College Football on fire.

the only greater joke then college hype going into the pros is highschool hype going into college.

Quinn aint going anywhere this year.....

except to the Heisman presentation...

Nothing like a good chuckle on a saturday morning. Anybody else got any gems they want to share on this mensa bound thread?

Jimmy Clausen is considered by many to be the top recruit in America.

Oaks Christian (Westlake Village, Calif.) quarterback Jimmy Clausen, the nation's No. 1 football recruit in the Class of 2007, will commit to Notre Dame tomorrow at 8:30 a.m. at the College Football Hall of Fame in South Bend, Ind., according to a report.

Clausen will reportedly pick Notre Dame over USC.

This past fall, Clausen completed 156 of 231 passes (67.5) for 2,778 and 30 touchdowns with just five interceptions and led Oaks Christian to its third straight CIF Southern Section Division XI championship. He threw for 3,665 yards, 57 touchdowns and only six interceptions as a sophomore.

Clausen has been called the LeBron James of high school football. His football skills are tremendously advanced for his age. He has excellent mechanics, a great arm and is a winner. This would be a great pickup for Charlie Weis and the Fighting Irish and further stamps Notre Dame as one of the nation's elite programs once again.

Before, recruits used to be all about USC. Now the Trojans look like they have competition, even for players in their own backyard.

Maybe this is Bledsoe's replacement .....Mr. Jones secret plan!

Stafford is a 2006 recruit.
Claussen is a 2007 recruit.

The difference is Stafford doesn't have two QB brothers.

Stafford was an outstanding high school QB and will excel in college.
He is the highest rated Texas schoolboy passer since Vince Young and a top 5 ever.

I haven't seen Claussen play so can't say for sure with him but it would make sense that he would be quite good in college as well given Weis' history and his tutelage thus far.

While it'd be nice to see Bledsoe stay that long, I doubt that would happen. He'd have to play about 4 more years. Although I could see a scenario where Bledsoe is long gone, we have no QB to replace him, Clausen lights it up at ND, and we end up taking him with a top 5 pick or something:bang2:

Think about getting a QB that had Charlie Weis teaching him for 4 years.

Chuckle all you want. I bet you wont chuckle when he gets on the field at Notre Dame.

He's been College ready for the last couple of years and every College scouting service has said that he would've been the #1 QB in the nation his Sophomore and JR year.

They even made mention of it during the all american game this year.
