"I don’t want to play for a mediocre school,” he said.

[cgvr]

“I don’t want to play for a team that goes like 7-6. I want to go to a school that plays in the big bowl games or plays in the College Football Playoff. I don’t want to go to an average school because I don’t think I’m an average player. I want to make big time plays on a big time stage.”

wow

this is what ND fans feared most; that it would get this way with the nations top players.

Kelly is a horrible game day coach and a just average overall coach, but this is not all on him.
The was a values and priorities decision by the institution's hierarchy.

ND fans now can just go game to game cheering for the players, and hope for 'todays victory'; but illusions of greatness are withering.

So this kid does not want to be a Kelly RKG ?

He is definitely not referencing Mr Potato Head. Mentioning a 7-6 record was a dead give away.... He correctly views that as mediocre. We won't come near that.....

Have you ever posted something positive? In the midst of the 2012 season or last year when ND was a field goal from the playoff? Can somebody run the numbers on the amount of posts during a 2-5 season vs 12-0? ha He is clearly dominating this board in this time of turmoil basking in the troubles of ND, has taken the throne from Pers, hard to do. Clear agenda here, where is 78 and the sky is falling cause we had a de-commit.

Also, hasn't Pitt been the favorite throughout his recruitment? I guess Heinz field is the big time stage he is talking about..

Everything I post is 100 % accurate. Porky stinks and so do you....

Nothing wrong with a kid wanting to play for a better team. Could have been classier about it, but oh well. It's football. It's not always classy. Kid is a baller. Will be a good one wherever he ends up.

 

[dwqwiz]

That quote was actually from this summer before he had committed to ND. It wasn't recent, but it does hint at the reason why he may have chosen to decommit

 

[bizzybecknd]

Accurate or just silent during the successful years. You also posted last week that Nix was a Weis guy and I had to point out that he committed to ND when there was no coach.

There ya go. Maybe 99% accurate.

 

[dagimpper1]

I am only surprised it took this long for the first de commit. And shocked ND got a new commit today.

Another lie....explain to me how Nix is a Porky recruit.

“I look and Michigan is undefeated and Notre Dame is 2-5."

 

[vivalas]

Agree that Kelly stinks, but to me not the kind of kid I want. In response I don't want a kid that doesn't have enough faith in his own ability to make a difference, be a leader that winning follows. Sad really.

 

[BGI User 1596]

“I look and Michigan is undefeated and Notre Dame is 2-5."

With the way they schedule plus the crap that is most of the Big - they should have been undefeated pretty much every season which makes you wonder - Why was it ZERO for Bo. 31 -0 !

Nix was recruited by Weis but actually commited between head coaches

with ND predicament, the Plan C list will jump at an offer.
But that won't up the level of play.
ND needs some very large people on defense.

It's the reference to Pitt being a favorite. When did they last play in a major bowl? I guessed I missed it. He needs to brush up on a few things including spelling the school correctly

 

[ND4Real]

Hey this stuff happens. When you lose games recruits lose intrest. It's hard enough getting kids to south bend as it is. Kids want to play and WIN in big games. Winning cures everything. It can make a scumbag coach look like a million bucks. ND graduates it players and has high academic standards that's great but for 12 weeks I want to see some ruthless agression and passion on the field.

Big Louie knew where he wanted to go, and was going no matter who the coach was. Unusual.

Thought Nix would be a long time NFL starter. Good thing I don't attempt to make my living off of my football predictions.

I'm not sure Louie was desperate enough to be successful at the next level. He was kind of an eclectic kid with lots of other interests.

i'm hearing if Kelly still has another year that he'll recommit to our irish. him and Kelly have developed a really good relationship

The crappy big ten that most analysts consider the best conference this year, with 0-3 MSU beating ND Lol. Here's a clue: Wisconsin and Colorado are better then any team ND has faced all year.

You love talking smack to conferences and teams that own you. Good for you! Once you hit your teenage years, things might get rough for you.

I know exactly what happened and posted as such a while back to debunk decker/bizzy who was claiming numerous weis' recruits as Porky's...including Nix.
I covered Nix situation in detail. Fatso was fired a couple of days before the Nix commit. Mr Potato Head was hired a week after...
weis and his staff got Nix to commit to ND....

And don't talk shit when you're on your last leg. Michigan would destroy you worse than 31-0 this year. Just be glad we're not playing

If Michigan is the armpit of America then Southbend is the asshole. People that live in glasshouses shouldn't throw stones. You're not Miami or USC (meaning you're not located in a glamorous location). Your program is storied, but falling on hard times and you choose to hurl insults at a school that is far better positioned than you right now. ND will definitely rise again, but until they do shut up...and grow up too. You type as if you're still a teenager

Go take a flying f..k at a rolling doughnut....you don't come close to my class, skill or education. Take your tiny brain and income back to the slum you crawled out of. You can't even afford a trip to the places I live. AA is a Detroit slumburb.
