'08 MN WR Michael Floyd (Signed LOI to ND) - Page 71 - Notre Dame Football Discussion

I think this is a good point, however none of your QB's has looked very good. This is hugely the OL's issue, but whatever the case the WR is still not getting the ball much. Further, if OSU does get Pryor that is even more worrisome. One point I failed to state before is that nobody can argue that Tressel is a great coach and motivator of kids. Many could argue at this point that CW is not that great of a head coach. He has shown flashes of brilliance, but not a person here has seen any evidence of that this year and in most big games he has fallen short.

Tressel is a good coach but OSU does not play the toughest teams and that helps his players progress in skill and confidence.

The longer this one goes, the less likely he is IRISH. I pray I am totally wrong.

I feel the same way. I still reasonalbly ok right now, but if he still goes on a OSU visit after his trip to ND this weekend then I think I'm going to start leaning toward OSU.

Im just hoping OSU doesnt get Terrelle Pryor. I think our QBs would help us ND out more than OSU's QBs.

Even though I think he'll end up at OSU I don't think it'll matter. Pryor is more know for his running ability than his trowing skills.

Golden,
Shedule is not going to be a prohibitive factor for Floyd dediding on OSU. They are playing a cupcake schedule so far this year, but if you look at ND's upcoming schedules we have really dumbed things down. San Diego St, Nevada, Duke. Not exactly powerhouses. OSU has picked up USC on their schedule so that is a definite upgrade. Fact is that OSU is putting many more folks in the NFL than ND right now, so your arguement just will NOT fly.

The coaching staff needs to cast their reel this weekend in hopes to catch a SHARK Jr. Alright I'll settle for Floyd.

Who knows, we could get real lucky and harpoon a Robinson.

Great news for ND! Ohio state got a commitment from athlete Lamaar Thomas last night. Thomas is an absolute burner(10.4 100m) and projects as a playing the same role as Ted Ginn did at OSU. Thomas is currently ranked a little higher in the Rivals 100 than Floyd. Hopefully this will help sway his decision to ND.

I don't think that affects Floyd at all. Thomas had been an Ohio State lean for a while, and the Ohio State coaches were recruiting Floyd just as hard as ever even after it appeared that Thomas would commit to Ohio State(a few months ago).

Ohio State could be looking to bring in as many as five wide receivers(though one, Cordale Scott, could end up at safety) this year, and I don't think any of them will deter a top talent like Floyd. That's not to say he'll choose Ohio State, but if he does, it won't be because he's afraid of competition.
