Christian Lombard Interview

Posted on August 6, 2009 by Conner

After I did the Chris Martin Q and A , I really wanted to do another so I asked Christian if he would be interested. Certainly enough, he said yes. Here's six questions with the prized Irish recruit.

I know Chris Martin has been recruiting other recruits to come to Notre Dame like Kendall Moore. Is there any recruits you are trying make go to ND?

I’ve been talking mostly to Chance Carter on and off. Just trying to build a relationship.

How close are you to the Coaches at ND? Which ones? and Hows your relationship with Coach Weis?

I have a really good relationship with Coach Ianello. He’s been there since step one with me. Also I’m talking to Coach Verducci and building a relationship. Coach Weis played a big role in me committing. He was very understanding and helped me through the process.

What was the main reason why you committed to ND?

 They made me feel comfortable and apart of their family even before I committed. Also the education was a very strong selling point for me.

Which NFL player do you model yourself after? Why?

I would have to say Joe Thomas. I am pretty athletic like him and a very hard worker.

How do you think you will make an impact your freshamn year?

I know it’s going to be a tough transition from high school to college but I think if I work hard enough, I could earn a spot. Like Chris (Martin) said, I don’t expect anything to be given to me.

Are you going to enroll early in the spring?

No. I’m going to enjoy my last year of high school.

 

Thank you for your time Christian. It is much appreciated.

My next Q and A will be with Irish commit Kendall Moore. Some other Q and A's in the future will be Justin McCay and Bennet Jackson.

2010 Recruiting

Posted on March 26, 2009 by Conner

So far the 2010 class has started out pretty good by already landing three good verbal commits.

1. Chris Martin DE out of Oakland and Bishop O Dowd high school but he might transfer to a prep school in New Jersey. He is 6'4 and 222 lbs. According to Scout he is a 5 star and the 4th best player in the nation for next year. Chris is has already been named a 2010 high school army all american.

2. Christian Lombard OG out Palatine Illinois. He is 6'5 and 280 lbs. He to has already been named a 2010 army all american but he is not a 5 star like Martin but atleast he is a 4 star. Lombard according to scout is the 64 best player coming out of high school.

3. Daniel Smith WR right out of South Bend, Clay High School. Smith has good height 6'4 and 205 lbs. He like Lombard is a 4 star but was not one of the early ten players to be named for the army all american game. Smith has a junior caught 51 passes 1,071 yards and 9 TD celebrations. Though he will probably have to wait his time to get a lot of game action considering the depth the irish have at that position.
