Think he will project more towards the WR position?

here's an article on Adams

quote Scout:
“Our running backs coach said that Notre Dame requested film of me and they had invited me to camp, but I couldn’t make it at the time, so I will be looking to visit them sometime this year. Notre Dame is great academically, they are always on television because they have their own contract and they have an unbelievable history and tradition.”

sounds like there's some interest in us. kid has good measurables and scout says he runs a 4.5 which is pretty good for being 6'4

As well as being a rising-junior.

rumour about that some folks from ND staff were visiting his coaches this Sunday.
Gallup-can your sources up there near Beantown confirm/deny any of this?

[gallup21]

haha...i have no sources here, the HS football talent the majority of the time is nothing like it is in CA, OH, FL, TX, or even CT. Sorry, i could try and call his school? wat nvm just got an idea..haha its like im talking to myself. ok ill post this now and try to get back to you

[stonebreakerwasgod]

With your posting style, it's like watching an accountant lay down some debits and credits.

[gallup21]

haha i dont know what that means because im not an accountant and ive never had to deal with a bank.

[stonebreakerwasgod]

You will be afraid, you wiiiill be.

[gallup21]

maybe not if im a banker..but that looks slim/none with my math skills

[stonebreakerwasgod]

We're not talking quantum physics here. Very little accounting is difficult. There's just a hell of a lot of stuff to know. :)

Finance: Who knows, I only took 2 classes. Hardly anybody does that crap in the real world, it's why computers were invented.

[gallup21]

okay got the quote from Joshua. "I was sent hand written letters, but I don't know if any coaches visited my school yesterday.'

so that doesn't answer the question, but at least hes getting some attention. i wish he played closer to here..cambridge is about 40 minutes away, and a good 40 minutes at that. if he plays nearer here ill try and watch him

nick-you are the man...within a day you got a quote from him-great work! i have to assume it was a rumor b/c gotta believe that he would have known about something like that...again, nice work and great follow up-you can come work for my company anyday in sales...i got 20 year sales veterans who cant get to the "decision makers" like you can.

[JMR8]

so is he pretty high on ND?

[gallup21]

i remember jason ford got hand written letters from Weis and no offer...so that doesnt neccassarily mean hes high on ND or that he'll get a schollie offer.

[IRISH52]

Joshua Adams is one that hopefully will join the ND team. Sounds like a winner!

[irishunclebill]

Committed to North Carolina.

I would not be surprised if this name is in the news again a year from now with another school's name attached.

Profile Updated with Scout 100 Ranking & Scout Position Ranking.

Adams just barely makes the Rivals 250 at #243.

Sureal, he is now officially a CT High School recruit. WOO HOO!

Profile Updated to reflect latest Rivals and Scout rankings.

Adams also drops out of the Rivals 250 and drops 70 slots to fall out of the Scout 100 as well.

Was UConn ever in the mix with this guy? What if UConn kept at least 80% of the kids in Connecticut instate? Do you think they would be better?

Adams is not really a CT kid, he just transferred to Cheshire Academy to play football his Senior year so UConn was never really involved here, but then again neither was anyone else all that much except for UNC. I don't think getting the very elite CT players (all two or three of them a year) would make much difference at UConn. Edsal does a pretty good job getting the CT kids that are looking to stay close to home, and as evidenced by last year, a pretty good job of winning with lackluster talent. However, until they start playing an OOC schedule that is stronger than the CCC North in football, and also win some games on the road against quality Big East opponents, they are not going to get much respect. That is exactly why the UConn AD was so adamant about standing by the deal to play ND despite taking a lot of heat from the Connecticut hoo hah crowd.

[Sureal]

I guess your right. UConn just needs to go and raid Jack Cochran's teams to get some players...

LOL- I don't think they can do that. All of Cochran's players are already professional.
