That's just the natural reaction of being a Notre Dame fan for many years. Shell-shocked, if you will...


Don't fret, mate. We got this...

I think he picks Notre Dame, I really do. But what if he doesnt? Everyone thinks this is in the bag. If he picks someone else this site is about to explode with anger, confusion, and the banhammer is going to be dropped.

Sorry for being a Negative Nancy

I'm just warning everyone not to make the same mistakes I made! Consider it a public service announcement. If you rep that post I expect it to be NA very shortly.

Does he have any other visits planned besides June 14? If not, that should be reassuring.

Is his announcement going to be televised or streamed so we can watch it? Or are we just waiting for reporters to say something?

Im such a homer..., Even though he wont announce until later, I will probably check IE a hundred times throughout the day. Really excited about the month of June as many people expect big things. Hopefully this evening will kickstart a great month of recruiting. Go Irish!!!

Not televised. I am sure there will be links later for premium sites for maybe video.

Quick question... why does ESPN have him ranked so much lower than the other three major sites? I mean, which one is not like the other?

24/7: :s::s::s::s::s: Overall #7, #1 OLB
Rivals: :s::s::s::s::s: Overall #4, #1 OLB
ESPN: :s::s::s::s: Overall #46, #3 OLB
Scout: :s::s::s::s::s: Overall #17, #1 OLB

I know it's not popular to say ESPN is conspiring against Notre Dame, but lets look at some facts.

They readily admit that last year, the reason they dropped Gunner so low was because he decommitted from LSU and enrolled at Notre Dame. Nothing to do with his physical abilities, just his choice in school.

Now we have a guy that resides in Indiana and has openly favored Notre Dame from the get-go. Every other recruiting expert sees him as a top 10 talent and he confirms those beliefs by killing it in every camp he goes to. So why the low grade ESPN?

Just a lil' tinfoil hat talk to kill some time.

ESPN hasn't done a reranking in a while. I think they do one next week. Rivals didn't have him that high until there reranking last week.

ESPN has actually been quite favorable to our recruits the past several years. For example, this year, I think they rank more of our players as 4 stars than any other service.

Also, regarding Gunnar, it wasn't his choice of school. It was his decommitting twice.

I completely agree. It will be sweet in 13' when we win it all and they are grinding their teeth.

So they still deranked him not because of any lack of physical abilities or stats? I thought rankings were based on physical abilities and stats. I guess you learn something new every day

ESPN recruiting is about as well put together as bleacher reports recruiting. Or my 2013 master list.

haha. Just saw on the 247 board that there are a bunch of OSU fans claiming that they pulled Jaylon's offer and that's why is committing today. They said that we are getting their "scraps".

If their scraps are the #1 OLB in the country, then we should follow them around with a broom. haha

ps - props to Philly for speaking the truth on there.

Very simple answer. ESPN sucks. Besides M & M in the morning, docs, and a few others personalities and shows, the corp behind it wreaks.
