No big deal, thanks for keeping the recruiting info going strong!

This is the most puzzling offer. He got his scholly pulled by Petey and UGA, rumors going around that Alabama pulled his offer, and even the slimeball himself may have. At this point, I have read Tennessee is the leader, but even the mods at the TN sites are leery of him

Some strange things with this recruit:

First he's a Georgian. He visits Athens but no offer for an obviously talented receiver.

Then I read that the Under Armour All-State game had rescinded his invitation to play there. That didn't raise an eyebrow to me as I thought he been selected to the U.S. Army AA game weeks ago.

I did a google search on this kid as something seems amiss.

Came across a UGA poster claiming UGA didn't offer as there are problems with his academic record. Hmmm, I didn't think anybody checked more throughly than ND. Keep in mind it's a poster on an internet board. He could be knowledgable or posting sour whine.

Then I come across this:


5/26 Rumor Markeith Ambles No Longer Has USC Offer.

TrojanNYC.com: Rumor: Markeith Ambles No Longer Has Offer from USC?

Wow. Big rumor going around that SC and Florida have pulled their offers from Markeith Ambles due to off-the-field issues. Whatever went down must have been pretty big to have the two leading schools back out of the recruiting race. Very disappointing news since I thought Markeith was the best WR prospect we've offered so far in the 2010 class. Trojannyc.com

Again, a blog. There are quite a few similar to this including one having Auburn rescinding his offer. AUBURN and USC? rejecting a recruit. Boggles the mind.

I'll discount the blogs as many of them are circular reports simply regurgitating somebody else's rumor.

Blue and Gold shows Ambles with an ND offer.

But there does seem to be a paucity of info on the ND sites (articles, headlines) for such a talented Wide Receiver.

Markeith Ambles Visits West Coast

USC offered Markeith Ambles a scholarship early in the recruiting process, but Ambles recently said in an interview that the USC coaches had informed him he was no longer being recruited by the Trojans. But that hasn't stopped Ambles from recruiting USC and last week he stopped by USC and spoke to the coaches.

Not details of why but it's not a blog either.

BGIF, I have read numerous rumors. One was a physical confrontation with at teacher. Another was sleeping with a coach's wife.

however, there should be no more issues because he has since transfered schools. Atleast lets hope so because if he were to commit to ND I would not want another Randy Moss situation on our hands

Core courses are frequently the stumbling block at ND. ND has required 16 core courses at least back through the Holtz years while only a few other schools required the same. The NCAA requirement was 14. I think the NCAA now requires 16 also but the level of the courses, particularly math has been a problem. There was a big back that ended up at MSU whose father was P.O'd over ND's (Saracino's) lack of approval over concern he wouldn't be able to handle the math at ND without HS preparation. Walter Payton erupted over the same issue.

Also an "A" as some schools might be considered a "C" at others. Supposedly Admissions takes that into consideration when evaluating GPA.

You do realize we're talking about a school in Georgia. right? It's no better here in Florida, but I did not go to school here, I went in Minnesota.

Anyways, why would ND pursue a guy with issues? Isn't that why we pulled the scholarship from Randy Moss?
