*Notre Dame* - On Vacation

Discussion in 'The Mainboard' started by Thoros of Beer, Feb 3, 2016.

  1. Thomas, Spindler (still assuming they don't land him and even if they do this is seems like Parker 2.0 like was mentioned earlier), Prince, Mokiao-Atimala, and one more safety seems to be the likely finish. Would be a a pretty good way to end the class but looking rankings wise this will end up just about where the last class ended up.

    For all the talk of taking recruiting to another level it seems to be status quo. I acknowledge I think ND benefits from official visits more than just about any other place and COVID obviously fucked that but still pretty disappointing. That being said, I think a few guys are relatively underrated, especially in the secondary which did a lot to mask for the dud that was last year's class with that position group. I wish ND could have followed up Tyree/Johnson/Mayer with a similar group and while I think the players they'd be getting are good I am just not sure how many move the needle.

    The only guy who can move the program forward is Buchner and I do not know what the fuck happened with him this offseason but It seems like until ND gets the 'guy' (or a different head coach) they will tread water in the top 10-15ish territory

    Loy very confident in Rocco this morning

    He also CB'd Prince Kollie to ND today saying ND took the lead for him over the past couple of weeks

    To scientifically prove that Prince Ali from the Aladdin soundtrack is in fact the greatest Disney song I’ve instructed user Druce to sit some of his children down (not sure how many, he’s got like 8 now because all he does is buy shoes and reproduce) and have them rate each song from every Disney movie created.

    The criteria used in scoring includes, but is not limited to,: tempo, rhyme structure, subject matter, and references to monkeys.

    Disney now owns 21st Century Fox so the best Disney song is The Greatest Show from The Greatest Showman,

    Is the Spindler = Parker 2.0 stuff just hedging into hating him when he's a Wolverine? What else has he done to make people think he's a diva?

    I don’t think Spindler enjoys the process a ton, he was just waiting to announce a commitment till he could actually take some visits

    Covid has gone on longer than expected and will for some time so he decided to make a decision

    Mike Frank, the most pessimistic ND fan around, just said he thought ND was landing Rocco and he didn't even try to hedge. I think that says all you need to know.

    I think it's because his name is Rocco and he has long hair. I haven't seen any interviews with him or anything though.

    Everything about him seems pretty normal. I haven't seen him out doing stuff, it honestly sounds like ND fans are preparing to hate him if he chooses UM.

    if we would land rocco, kollie, jayden thomas and titus the hawaiian our class would be ranked bang in line with the 2 previous classes. After things were looking kinda grim for a while things did kind of improve the last few months

    Jurk granted the waiver. Gonna be so funny when Grossel beats him out in camp.

    Legit feels like Alohi was pretty much the last player who lost their waiver case.

    you think he wouldve skipped another year? Think he wouldve helped a ton in that 2017 season btw as we had zero safeties that year

    I just don’t get how Jurk can get a waiver but Alohi Gilman, who had a major change to his ability of going pro, was not given one.

    my bad, I thought he would’ve been done after the 2018 season if he played in 2017.

    but sitting down the 2017 season probably helped him make the decision to come back for 2019
