Limar is perhaps equally good. I can't imagine his decommitment is what the staff wanted. That seems like cognitive dissonance. It doesn't appear to me that Love is better than Irivin, but I haven't seen much of him to know. Love does have an impressive offer list.
Totally agree. Thought he was a good foundational type player that would enable us to swing for another RB with a higher floor and higher ceiling. By all accounts, we are in good position with two or three with higher ceilings, and I think this is a good parting for him and us.
Please explain why Limar and Love have a higher ceiling. I am not saying they don't, but I would not have the knowledge to know that's the case and I wouldn't make that assumption simply because he decommited.
Love is a lot faster and bigger. And it's more athletic.
Doubt concern. We are loaded at RB. I would like take at least 1. Love seems to love Michigan too. I heard Limar is a hard ND lean.
So are you saying we're screwed? What's the upshot of this thumbnail analysis.... We're going to have trouble getting anyone at all to commit? And no good RBs want to play for ND, not at this juncture, because they're understandably all scared of the competition. Even the competition posed by other possible RB commits in this same, actively ongoing recruiting class?
this looks like a pretty standard de-commit thread to me. Players de-commit every year, from every program.
per my comment below, there is probably more to it. McCullough didn't recruit him, and he brought a RB with him from Indiana. maybe DM wasn't as high on him as Taylor, and he felt it. McCullough wouldn't take no for an answer from Richard Young, so maybe he felt that all those things were kind of the writing on the wall that he faced an uphill battle with this coach.
There are two things you think of, when a player de-commits, everything else being equal, first and foremost that the coaches are processing him, and they don't want him anymore. This seems to be a practice that all coaches are willing to do. Take commits, knowing full well you might later pull that offer/commitment if it suits you, which is something I'd like to see coaches and teams be publicly embarrassed for. If there's a way we could do that using the internet somehow....
Oh really, is there more to it? Is there shit that happened behind closed doors that we don't know about?
If we got Love I’d be ecstatic. Dude is a high end 4 star, at absolute worst. I actually think he’s a huge sleeper in the class at RB
I can see why you spend so much time on here - you must be a a real peach to be around IRL.
If you were coach, everyone in the entire country would make fun of us, and we’d never win another game. So, thank God that’s not, and will never, be the case.
I'm not sure how to respond to that. Other than I'm not sure you're going find someone with a greater aptitude for social graces than myself. I don't even think that would be at all hard to believe, especially given how I carry myself on this board, if that was your only evidence. Unless you think my overt insolence is a bad thing....
Trust me n Echo. I was in the room when Echo was with his source. This goes all the way to the Arms Services Committee and CostcoI need a name
You forgot to mention an enormous upgrade in recruiting, from Brian "shopping down a different aisle" Kelly to Marcus "Let's shop down the elite aisle" Freeman.
Right, precisely! MF has to the undo the damage, of when BK was the coach, and he only wanted shitty players to come here. Just mediocre, second-rate talents... That's who BK wanted as coach. And now that ND's roster will no longer be defiled by all these BK prospects, ND can finally cleanse and rid themselves of them.....
I see where others have explained this by the time I read your post. Simply a matter of staff liking a few running backs better, who reportedly have higher upsides. Not suggesting Anything negative about Irvin as he is a very solid four star running back with lots of success against good competition. It’s simply a matter where current staff like the skill sets and apparent upsides of a few others and they in turn are expressing a lot of interest in ND.
Shopping down a different a aisle are BK's words not mine. He clearly wasn't trying to bring the best athletes to Notre Dame. MF is, and it's a welcome upgrade. As a fan of the school and program you should be happy with the upgrade in recruiting as well, anyone who isn't clearly isn't a friend of Notre Dame.
I'm pretty sure MF is shopping down the same aisle. And it's the same pool of players available to both coaches. And unfortunately BK did the same thing, and pulled offers to committed players, I can't deny that.....
didn't say we were, but clearly the RB coach is pushing hard for several guys above you.
