*Notre Dame* - On Vacation

not to toot my own horn too much, but i did say the Mike Evans to Claypool comparisons when Claypool was a HS recruit

dude is incredible and it's shame we didn't use him even more this past year. He was unstoppable against UGA too, we just didn't get him the ball enough until the end (and i know they played coverage to his side but they just need to scheme around that)

 

That was a bold and spicy comparison but you nailed it

 

I'm actually a little surprised he's crossed the finish line already.

 

nvm, it was the little video on claypool. It did not work

 

Bball with a must win in an hour. I don't even see that in the next eight out in Bracketology right now

 

Is the game even on tv?

 

Ha, I thought it was on ACC network, but just checked and it's not. It's on some alternate channel I don't subscribe to (AT&T U-Verse).

 

I wish I wasn’t watching

 

Those back to back elite 8 runs feel like they were 10 years ago.

 

Fucked that up.

 

That’s a real bummer.

 

It's amazing how Brey just took that program momentum and pissed it down his leg

 

Okwara put up 27 reps.

Whoever made that comment about Valid was right.

 

Troy Pride 4.45 and 4.46. Yikes after all the 4.2 talk

 

that’s weird, that’s a big blow for him. I would be surprised if he is drafted now.

 

looks like it got brought down to a 4.40 officially

 

Ooof. Weren’t some people talking about him maybe being a CB in the NFL?

 

Fixed

 

Apparently all the DB's are running slow. Twitter speculation is something is up with the timing equipment.

 

Gilman flying up the board now

A new 247Sports Crystal Ball prediction is in for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and this is a big one.

Here’s the latest from Irish Illustrated.

I went ahead and put my prediction back on Notre Dame for Clarkston (Mich.) high school four-star offensive guard Rocco Spindler, the No. 49 overall player in America and No. 2 player at his position in the class of 2021. I initially picked the Fighting Irish back on Sept. 30, 2018, but went "foggy" after I felt as though Michigan took the lead. I am back on Notre Dame as of today based on the latest intel and the direction this recruitment seems to be going.

On Monday, the Under Armour All-American released his his Top 10, which included Notre Dame, Penn State, Alabama, Ohio State, Michigan, Tennessee, Oklahoma, LSU, Arizona State and Florida. He continues to move closer and closer to a decision, which will likely come in May. However, an exact date isn’t 100 percent locked in quite yet. Either way, his commitment will come before the start of his senior year.

In talking to multiple sources close to this recruitment, I believe Notre Dame is the team to beat as of today. Yes, ahead of the in-state Michigan Wolverines, which will likely be a surprise to many people connected with this recruitment. Spindler’s relationship with offensive line coach Jeff Quinn is second to none, which is really helping the Irish here, but it’s actually his connection with head coach Brian Kelly that is likely tipping this in favor of Notre Dame as of today. In the end, I think this duo, along with the help of fellow offensive lineman Blake Fisher and quarterback Tyler Buchner, two Notre Dame commits pushing hard to land Spindler, will get the job done and secure his pledge.

Spindler will be on campus from March 20-22 for the big recruiting weekend at Notre Dame and likely return shortly thereafter for his official visit.

This one isn’t a slam-dunk and while people are assuming he’s a lock to land at Michigan, I’m really keeping a close eye on Penn State in this recruitment. People are sleeping on the Nittany Lions and that program is very much in this. That said, I like Notre Dame as of today.

for the record, he said his confidence level was an 8 out of 10 on this

 

8 out of 10 for Loy is probably a 3 for most of us, right?

 

yeah. that, plus the little nugget about Notre Dame being in the lead would surprise people is not what you want to hear.

 

just so you all know what you're getting into. this is how the article starts

 

I mean they're coming off am 11 win season, a preseason top 10 and have a schedule with no super tough road games. I'm ok with unbridled optimism right before Spring practice. There's plenty of time for everyone to bring the mood down.

 

I think the last few years are the only years of my nd fandom when the national media and local media are more optimistic about nd football than the fans. Kelly is doing a solid job and it’s not enough. That should kill the stupid nd nation narrative that fans are the reason for the shitty product.

but i bet they will take credit for it anyway

 

Not sure why Idaho basketball has anything to do with this conversation

 

Why. It has nothing to do with ND football

 

I think he means Illinois

 

Or possibly Iowa. Hard to tell.

 

Says the Florida grad

 

IU basketball season has been over since we lost to Rutgers. Why are you letting a Gator troll us like this?

 

IU hoops ITT is almost as lame as sous vide posting in the BBQ thread

 

Totally agree.

 

Hey! Wtf?

 

What about the ability to pick up notes of sarcasm?

 

Anyone?


I’m sure everyone will assume the normal stuff...Brian Kelly’s successful QB development, 4 for 40, national championships.

 

There is never any IU talk here unless a certain person brings it up.

 

Thread is already plenty depressing as is
