    So IF Turner signs with ND (not convinced he will but feels likely) what’s the play here? My hope is we don’t immediately offer anyone way down the list but wait and see who doesn’t sign and poach the hell out of somebody between signing periods.

    I would punt on the position and take 5 guys next year. Next years class is loaded at that spot.

    All CBs pointing towards the purple and gold for Ika.

    God I swear LSU's recruiting philosophy for DTs is just going into their scouting database and clicking 'sort by weight'.

    Apu Ika may be three fiddy, but Tyler Shelvin is 362 and used to be 376. Dom Livingston is 350 as well. Ed Alexander is 331.

    LSU has all the thiccest nose tackles man.

    Someone should let him know that ND is using their one good season every 10 years this year so if he goes there they will be dog shit.

    I laffed at the "global network" and "setting you up for life" bits. These are the same people that think Chicago is a "world class city".
    I'm sure there are a lot of "sociology" connections for the kid at Notre Dame. Let's be real, how many of these kids actually take serious courses while playing football?
    ND is one of the very few schools that make their football players take calculus.

    They have self reported players cheating on assignmemts. Makes them probably the only ncaa school to ever self report that. Most schools help the kids cheat.

    They may be dusty has beens in the shittiest state in the country, but the academic thing for the football players is legit.

    We've been told it's Ranson and nobody else at safety next year.

    I don't know if this is true but what makes you say it's so stacked?

    I'm not real comfortable losing 5 DB's this year and only taking 3, I think we have to take at least 4 and I'd be open to 5.

    I'm not worried. I just don't think he would betray the UW coaches at the last minute like this. He seems too nice to do that. There's a huge difference between wavering between two great schools and programs and actually picking up the phone to tell the UW coaches you're signing with Notre Dame. If he's too nice of a kid to do that then this recruitment has been over since he committed to UW. At some point today I would bet he gets fed up with the stress and the pressure of the situation he's in and just says "I'm over this, I'm just gonna stick with UW and be done with this shit."

    Worst case scenario I think is he and his parents decide he needs more time to make a final decision so he won't sign early. If that happens UW still has an advantage with him playing in the Poly bowl with a million UW commits there with him making him feel wanted at the player level and peer recruiting the shit out of him.

    Him not signing in the early period is great for us. No way we lose him then.

    If he signs tomorrow, who knows?

    Tom Loy referencing Foskey and Turner, "I expect, based on the Intel I continue to hear, both will be in Notre Dame’s class."

    What was the handle of that hack Notre Dame poster? Why isn't he over here rubbing it in?
    Hack?
    LOL

    You should read your own site. So much misinformation & meltdowns on here it’s comical.

    And I don’t spread rumors like a 13 year old girl, so nothing to “rub in.”
    The truth is nobody knows & if they say they do they are lying. I’ve talked to two different people who both said the same thing, which is Asa hasn’t decided yet, so everybody is just talking out their rear with “flip” talk.

    Agree.


    None of the writers know anything. They all have sources who are giving their best guesses but reading all accounts from both UW and ND sources, the kid is torn.

    He likes ND and what they have to offer and was blown away by his visit. He loves Jimmy Lake and seems to have the closest bond with him.

    He wants to play Safety and has seen what Jimmy Lake has done with his DBs over the last 5 years and how he gets them to the league. He's got the size of Zeke and JoJo, but is a better player than both.

    How hard would it be to feel like you belong one place, but you have a close bond with a coach somewhere else and are trying to also make a business decision about getting to the NFL.

    He'd be a fucking monster in our? defense and he knows it. He's just struggling, which is why he keeps deleting his twatter and likes twats from both fan bases.

    I honestly feel for the kid.

    No, which is why I used words such as "I think" and "he seems too nice". I don't know for sure but that's what my intuition is telling me about this kid.
