'13 FL RB Greg Bryant (R.I.P.)

[arrowryan]

It depends on what he knows from other schools: is Williams a silent to SCAR and how will Chizik shake up the Auburn staff?

If he has satisfactory answers to those questions, then I think he'll pull the trigger for ND next Tuesday.
If he doesn't have satisfactory answers to those questions, this will drag out longer and our chances go down as Auburn stabilizes and Chizik can talk to him. Still wouldn't mean we were out though.

JMO.

He said he isn't considering Auburn anymore

 

[zbikowski88]

He will be 100% in or out after his visit. I'm liking our chances more and more.

 

[clashmore_mike]

Chizik GONE.

and no one from the staff will be retained

 

[Whatever]

and no one from the staff will be retained

Except for Malzahn.

Did I do that right?

Recruiting, Rumors, and ND Football

Filling needs

From everything I heard to date, Cierre Wood has his heart set on the NFL after this season. Fair enough. Along with losing Theo Riddick to graduation, that leaves a big void at running back. Thus, at least one running back is needed. I feel very good about Notre Dame landing Folston and Bryant. There’s ample playing time available, prestige, and Notre Dame running back and assistant coach Tony Alford just happens to recruit Florida where Folston and Bryant played high school football. They are familiar with coach Alford. Big bonus for Notre Dame in both of their recruitments. I also feel that both players will pick Notre Dame well before national signing day. That’s based on what I’ve heard about where each recruit is with his recruitment, combined with my gut feel. I believe Bryant picks Notre Dame by no later than a week from Friday, or he’s likely headed to South Carolina to play his college football. Folston beats to his own drummer, but he’s a very articulate young man. I’ve met him. He’s not going to drag his recruitment out for media attention. Heck, he hates interviews. He should make his college selection by mid-January at the latest. That leaves two scholarships.

This whole story is up in LAX's Upshot thread thanks to SoCal NDFan, but wanted to bring Bryant's portion over.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Per BGI, surging. Like tidal wave surging.

 

[Riddickulous]

This staff is relentless.

 

[OrlaNDomer]

I'm getting way too excited. Possibly two stud RBs from Florida playing for ND?!!

 

[Rack Em]

Chizik GONE.

I meant Malzahn

He said he isn't considering Auburn anymore

Woo!

 

[zbikowski88]

So is it ok to get excited about his recruitment now?

Yes

 

[koonja]

He's on campus tomorrow?

 

[arrowryan]

I'm just waiting to see "Notre Dame Verbal" next to his name

 

[Ironman8]

I'm just waiting to see "Notre Dame Verbal" next to his name

I'm waited until I see "Notre Dame Signee"

 

[Whatever]

I'm just waiting to see "Notre Dame Verbal" next to his name

Cue McLovin "I got a boner!"

 

[arrowryan]

I'm waited until I see "Notre Dame Signee"

Yes, I agree with that

Anyone else out there think he commits this weekend but the staff tells him to wait until US Army game to go public?

Just asking, but what do you think would be the reasoning for that? Was he hoping to announce at the AA game?

 

[TheChosen1]

Just asking, but what do you think would be the reasoning for that? Was he hoping to announce at the AA game?

Just my opinion. Not trying to stir the pot at all. Just think the staff would like the publicity of the game announcement. Listened to a podcast that felt the staff would like that.

The staff isn't going to ask a player to announce at said-time. They'll let the player announce whenever the player wants to announce. Announcements are about the player, not the school.

 

[NDBoiler]

Just my opinion. Not trying to stir the pot at all. Just think the staff would like the publicity of the game announcement. Listened to a podcast that felt the staff would like that.

Gotcha.

 

[Luckylucci]

Don't think the staff would tell a player to announce at an AA game but if they wanted too they wouldn't stop them.

 

[Ironman8]

Just my opinion. Not trying to stir the pot at all. Just think the staff would like the publicity of the game announcement. Listened to a podcast that felt the staff would like that.

We need more publicity than tonight?

Hell, our SID is probably getting a Wisconsin offer as we speak.

The Notre Dame equipment manager just turned down the Tennessee job.

 

[pkt77242]

A reliable source told me that Pham turned down FIU.

 

[IrishLax]

The Notre Dame equipment manager just turned down the Tennessee job.

This is excellent. I want to put this on Twitter.

"BREAKING: Ryan Grooms turns down Tennessee."

 

[TheChosen1]

Again not trying to stir the pot. Just my opinion. Hope we get him. By him I mean arguably the best rb out of Florida.

 

[ALLGATOR]

Anyone else out there think he commits this weekend but the staff tells him to wait until US Army game to go public?

Not a chance you want a commit to go public

 

[arrowryan]

So I'm guessing his visit starts today does it end on Sunday sice it is an OV?

 

[Me2SouthBend]

Jimmy Mac we need eyes on the ground. Let's go, get out there. Hourly reports.
