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.

Chris Martin Q & A

Posted on June 20, 2009 by Conner

Here's my email interview with Irish football recruit Chris Martin, one of the Irish's most highly touted recruits.

What are some recruits that you personally are trying to get to come to the Irish with you?

Some recruits i talk to on facebook are Kendall Moore, Kenneth Scott, David Amerson, Joshua Shaw, Devon Carrington, etc...

What is your relationship like with the Notre Dame coaches? Which ones? Coach Weis?

I have great relationships with coach Ianello, Polian, and especially coach hart.. He's probably been the most involved with me, not even recruiting but just looking after me. Coach Weis has took real good care of me as he helped me with my whole transfer situation to the Hun.

Are you going to enroll early at Notre Dame next spring?

No, no EE for me.

Which college  or NFL player do you model yourself after?

I'd say Ray Lewis. I'm a gentleman off the field, but mean as hell on the field.

What kind of an impact do you think you will have as a freshman?

I hope to see a little playing time and hopefully play some meaningful minutes. But i don't expect anything to be given to me.

What do think Notre Dame will do when you get there? like 2009 recruit Cierre Wood said Notre Dame will beat USC a number of times when he gets there.

Haha, you know, i would like to beat them all four times but lets say we'll take it 2 times at our place and hope we can get something going down in L.A.

 

Much thanks to Chris. We look forward to him joining the Irish and wish him the best of luck.
