Anzalone:

what does it all mean!!!!

I read that too, thanks for posting! Should I be getting excited???

 

[beryirish]

IDK..I think it is just Jaylon and Mike trying to throw those little tidbits at Alex to commit to ND...could be right could be wrong but I still like it.

Jaylon Smith ‏@JaeeSmiff9ENT
@AlexAnzalone_24 #NDbound~

Someone please translate, I saw this on Jaylons Twitter

Like most people on here always say, be wary of Twitter- especially if you don't tweet yourself. This is just Jaylon tweeting at Alex with a hashtag of "NDbound" i.e. a playful push by Jaylon saying he wants Alex at ND.

If you follow these guys on twitter at all you know this kind of stuff happens all the time so best to just take it with a grain of salt but it is certainly good that he is getting close/chummy with these guys. I saw him tweet Matuska asking for his number the other day, presumably so they can talk/text.

Great play

The more they tweet, chat and talk, the better.

Right, of course. It is just always good to remember that they often tweet and talk to players from other teams too. We just don't see that as much because usually those kids are targets no longer on our radar as they are already committed elsewhere/never received interest from us.

A tweet can mean good things but it is always best to remember that these are just kids. They can fire off 20 tweets in an hour and we generally read WAY too much into them.

The above being said, which I agree with completely, they can direct message tweets to each other at anytime so no one else sees them. Whether they are purposefully tweeting this stuff publicly...... i will leave open to speculation.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Wiltfong thinks we are the team to beat now. Decision could come before The Opening. Still very tight race with Florida though.

 

[FLDomer]

Ha maybe my tweet reading wasnt so retarded after all!!! BOOM!

 

[yankeeND]

Wiltfong thinks we are the team to beat now.

I like it when Wiltfong and Sapp say things like that!

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Biggest things are the business school and the relationships he has built with other recruits, BK, and Alford.

 

[STLDomer]

PSU still has a chance, Breneman and Hack will be there for his visit coming up

 

[GBdomer]

PSU is out imo. Its down to Florida and Notre Dame. I think distance also plays a factor and the depth chart. Also playing with Jaylon Smith would be nice.

Agreed IMO as well regarding PSU. It's almost like a common courtesty thing I think he's doing with PSU, he's probably got a lot of buddies going to PSU from HS and the surrounding area and felt he was atleast obligated to take a visit. I really haven't been following PSU much, I can't imagine the Sandusky thing has helped the recruiting at all, so I feel the same that its got to be down to ND and Florida with ND in the lead, mainly because IMO the relationship he has with Heurman (Spelled it wrong I think), and the ability to play with Jaylon has got to help as well. Now granted we probably don't have the same ins and out on the info were getting in regards to ND that we are with Florida, but it just seems like distance could end up playing a bigger roll then we think. These kids are still very young, and not a whole lot of them have the ability to go too far from home, I'm sure there may be some soft pressure to be able to play games closer to his home state for his parents to come see, or atleast be able to see on TV (NBC). I am pretty sure there are not going to be a lot of Florida games playing up in PA. I'm very optimistic and it shows in my posts, but I really hope he chooses the correct long-term career path, and choose ND.

Go Irish 10+ wins this season! Do it for Rudy!

The Sandusky thing I think has zero to do with it. I mean his brother goes to school there and loves it. Right now he just sees ND as a better fit. Wiltfong was the one that said PSU could make up some ground this weekend. I agree though that it will be ND or UF.

 

[Irish YJ]

ND, then UF, then PSU. Agree that PSU is more of a courtesy thing right now. I said ND weeks ago, and to book it. Still feeling the same way. Would wager my few IE $ that he's ND. I'd wager my personal $ that he's not PSU...

Maybe had nothing to do with it, but it defintily didn't help PSU by any means.

If he's from a close knit family, I can see him staying closer to home.

 

[ab2cmiller]

I think Penn State's best opportunity is if they accept him into their MBA/BS program that he has said only about 12 kids a year get accepted into. Even if he gets accepted into that program, he still seems to have more interest in ND and UF.

Not to overly analyze twitter interaction, but the banter between Anzalone is starting to give me the feeling that Alex has built some excellent relationships with some of our recruits.

I'm terrible with Tweeting lingo, can you explain in lame-a$$ terms?

Who said what and what did they say?

“@J_Walls: Local paper said I'm expected to play Linebacker at Notre Dame hahahah. Sorry @JaeeSmiff9ENT @AlexAnzalone_24 #thatsajoke #getyourstuffright”

Twitter Translation:
Onwualu telling Jaylon and Anzalone the local papers are saying he is a LB.

Curious group of people he is tweeting it to.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

“@J_Walls: Local paper said I'm expected to play Linebacker at Notre Dame hahahah. Sorry @JaeeSmiff9ENT @AlexAnzalone_24 #thatsajoke #getyourstuffright”

To clarify, the above was tweeted by Onwualu, in which he mentions Smith and Anzalone.

Edit: RuntheBall beat me to it.

 

[Chris P. Bacon]

Thanks for the trans.


That sounds like good news, granted Alex hasn't verb yet, but maybe Onwualu knows something we don't?

They always know something before we do. It seems like a bunch of hints have been dropped by Smith and Heurman too.

 

[FLDomer]

Dont read into it!! Much to do about nothing!!!

 

[NDhoosier]

ill tell you what, a tweet here and there is nothing to overreact about, but if fellow recruits usually know beforehand (which seems to be the case with this class) There are a lot of tweets piling up regarding Anzalone... just saying, I would be surprised if he doesnt verbal to ND.
