Just celebrate the young man. He’s worth it. Rain on the parade some other time.

The kid from the little 1A school has turned out to be a star … on so many levels.

CONGRATULATIONS JACK KISER!

Jack Kiser, Cass County's 2019 Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship recipient continues to make all of Cass County proud. 

Kiser, a Royal Center, Indiana, native is now the 20th Notre Dame NFF National Scholar-Athlete to be inducted into the Hall of Fame during ceremonies in Las Vegas last night. 
 
Jack already has two degrees: graduating with his baccalaureate degree in three years in  May 2022, majoring in business analytics and earning a master's of accountancy in 2023. He is currently pursuing further graduate education. 

Jack earned the Tom Frecka Academic Achievement Award for posting the top GPA (3.97) in the entire Notre Dame Master of Accountancy program. A member of the 2024 NFF Hampshire Honor Society, Kiser claimed the Dean's Graduate Business Award.

Jack has also lead the fighting Irish football as a defensive Captain this year and is a finalist for the Allstate Wuerffel Trophy honoring collegiate football players who also excel off the field in leadership and community service.

Congratulations Jack and the Kiser family!

 

For those with peacock app there’s a series called Here Come the Irish. There are only 3 episodes that are like 35 minutes long but episode 3 I think has a nice piece with Jack Kiser on the farm and proposing to his girlfriend. All episodes are pretty good

Bob always chooses one Notre Dame player to obsess over…remember “the chosen one?”

You need to look up the definition of “obsess.”

Congratulations to young Mr. Kiser, but why does a student athlete with a full ride Notre Dame athletic scholarship also need the funds afforded by the Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship?  Sounds like the Lilly Scholarship could have gone to a Cass county youth who needed it more.

 

That's weak, just very weak!

No, it's not.  Just logical.

Jack Kiser having received an offer from Notre Dame does not mean that the offer was a full ride athletic scholarship at the time he was offered. Most don't receive full ride athletic scholarships maybe only 1% receive full ride athletic scholarships nationwide (not just Notre Dame).

Perhaps you can ask your question to the Lilly Foundation. My guess is that their response would indicate he earned it.

Of course that is what their response would be, Mr. Obvious.  That doesn't mean one has to accept it based on circumstances.

Transfer portal open only 48 hrs. and Alabama DB grad transfer DeVonta Smith, the Tide’s starting nickel this past season, is headed to Notre Dame. Need to bolster that secondary to try and fill the hole left by X when he heads to the NFL.

We’ll, if it’s that obvious, why ask the question in the first place?  
 

Do you really think people giving this award care whether or not YOU accept it?

Never said that…of course you’re entitled to your thoughts. Just think it’s irrelevant whether or not you or anyone on this forum ACCEPTS their decision as to who they believe is worthy.

Just following your suit and rendering an opinion.

That's devastating for that young man!  He's an outstanding player!  I heard that news during Coach Marcus Freeman's press conference today.

Damn…what a week for him 🙏
