'13 NC ATH Josh McNeil

[ant80]

Named Bama his leader

Bama is trying to rivals us as TE U haha, him and OJ Howard wow

OSU people saying Urban must have only wanted 1 Tight End since he let
Heuerman go to ND and McNeil to Bama

Don't believe it. We want 2 TE's in this class. Heuerman was a loss, and McNeil might be as well.

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

He was invited to the UA game. Not bad for one year of playing football.. oh and the 30 some offers.

 

[NDPhilly]

Will definitely take officials to Alabama and Notre Dame. Alabama still leads. He likes how ND puts TEs in to the NFL.

 

[Redbar]

When your twitter handle is BIBTY_12, you're one confident guy. I like it.

Confidence is one thing, not sure where your head has to be to put that in the twitter-verse...Love Heurman's reply though. That is one way to find out.

@BGInews:

TE Josh McNeil's top dozen: Alabama, Cal, Clemson, Florida, Georgia, ECU, Miami, NC State, Irish, Oregon, OSU, & South Carolina

Football-first kid with an ego. Never works out for us.

I would think a lot of the players on National Championship teams are football-first kids. We need more players who are like that.

You'd be correct.

Disagree. Being a student athlete at Notre Dame is a ton of work. Most football-first kids aren't willing to put up with it, which is why they go to football factories where they have no responsibilities outside of football.

Stanford and ND can succeed (see the Cardinal's last two seasons), but it's harder. Unless they're willing to completely trash their standards, they have to do it with RKGs. FFKs typically don't succeed in ND's culture.

 

[TerryTate]

Vaguely reminiscent of some of the decommits we've had in the past.

 

[Zwidmanio]

As for RKGs vs. FFKs, I'm always interested in the prospect's interest list. Generally I feel that if a kid has Stanford, Vanderbilt, or Northwestern, amongst a few others, on their list, then we'll be given a fair shot and have a good shot for it working out in the long run. When I see a bunch of SEC or football factory teams on their list along with us, it gives me pause. Not to say it can't work out, but it makes me a little more wary of the prospect.

Reminiscent of Davonte Neal as well. And Clausen. We don't always get these types, but we do on occasion.

 

[Cackalacky]

We have no problem using multiple tight ends at once...especially really athletic ones.

We could just take a page out of Stanford's playbook. Line up 5 OL, 5 TEs and 1 QB, and run you the **** over....

 

[ab2cmiller]

Yesterday he tweeted his top 11 and we weren't included. Then an hour later he tweets again that he's also adding ND. It would seem that currently we must be #12. I wonder if we simply are included to gain additional exposure and followers.

 

[Irishnuke]

I have no issues with not being in his top 11.

 

[Buster Bluth]

Neither do I.

 

[beryirish]

will be committing on ESPN July 5th

 

[Andy in Sactown]

ESPN? He gone.

 

[peoriairish]

ESPN? He gone.

No need for the italics.

 

[Buster Bluth]

ESPN? He gone.

Meh.

“@BIBTY_12: “@BuckeyeNation6 @BIBTY_12 When did you drop Ohio State?” long story”

Recently offered by LSU.

Down to Bama (the favorite IMO), LSU, UGA, UF, Miami

 

[rtrn2glory]

looks like the perfect top 5 for the way this one started out...not surprised

“@BIBTY_12: Thia have nun to do wit you all buckeyeFans its just the coaches”

“@BIBTY_12: To be honest ohioState I thought was the place for me but when u dnt feel welcome there's nothing u can do”

He's probably upset that Meyer didn't spoon with him and promise to make him the next Percy Harvin.

 

[Buster Bluth]

Everything I've heard from OSU is that they did their due diligence and figured that he was a low-class sorta person. They told him that they were only taking one TE this year.

Honestly, in my opinion OSU is 100% correct; this kid has prima donna written all over him. Urban doesn't want a lockeroom of idiots like at Florida, just the next Percy Harvins.

His Twitter name (BIBTY) means 'because I'm better than you'. The combination of that and the jab he took at Hueurman, I would say yeah, huge prima dona. That will happen when you become such a highly rated player after only playing 1 year of football.

I don't recall that....what did he do/say?

 

[Irish#1]

Kids and their ego's. Someone tweet him and tell him we don't want him.

 

[Buster Bluth]

Something along the lines of:

"wow Notre Dame just got a top TE to commit and they're still recruiting me hard....i must be better than him."

Soooo stupid.
