'13 CA DT Eddie Vanderdoes (UCLA)

[Irish#1]

My God is that 3 or 4 already.

Whatever it takes!

 

[aubeirish]

We should just ask if we can move into the room above his garage.

Hehe, Marcus Dupree style.

 

[Irish Man3]

Staff is relentless. Love the work this staff puts in. Also means the staff thinks they're getting through to him. Hard to believe they'd be putting forth so much effort if they thought they weren't making some headway.

 

[yankeeND]

Keep the hammer down! Future All-American!

 

[Whatever]

I honestly would trade any two current commits for this guy. Reminds of Ethan Johnson mixed with Louis Nix. Dominating nose tackle.

Uh no.

 

[yankeeND]

I wouldn't trade anybody in this class for him. We got a good thing going here and hopefully he wants to be part of it!

 

[Grahambo]

And he keeps letting us through the door...literally. I'll take it. Can't say we aren't trying.

Whatever.

You can't visit more than two times without feeling like you're making some serious progress. I'm excited to see what comes of this, because obviously the coaches feel pretty good about the situation.

 

[TheChosen1]

Probably obvious but anyone else think they are doing this in case Nix hears good things back from the NFL last minute.

Nope. I think he is that good and they want him that much. I'm more then confident in Nix returning.

 

[Emcee77]

Yeah, I agree, I doubt there is any connection between Nix's future and Vanderdoes's recruitment.

 

[Trojan Princess]

UCLA is USC competition for Eddie.

 

[koonja]

UCLA is USC competition for Eddie.

And apparently ND. Unless he's just into midwest vacations in the middle of winter.

Tyler James ‏@TJamesNDI
.@SacBee_JoeD says '13 DL @EddieVanderdoes is hosting another #NotreDame coach for an in-home visit tonight. Should be Kerry Cooks.

 

[KyfightingIrish36]

I love how that staff is going all out for Eddie. Could be a first round NG. They must have the feeling that they are gaining ground with him or they wouldn't keep going out there.

 

[Buster Bluth]

Apparently had another in home with him tonight

Joe Davidson ‏@SacBee_JoeD
Eddie Vanderdoes has good excuse for missing Optimist All-Star banquet - has home visit with Notre Dame. Irish applying golden touch

The fact that he's letting the coaches in can't be bad. If this were one of our recruits, say Jaylon, we'd all be FREAKING. Just know that Southern Cal fans are stressing over this.

This makes me smile.

 

[NDPhilly]

As of right now UCLA has a better chance than us. We'll see how his OV to Nd goes.

So you'd dump Jaylon and Bryant for Vanderdoes? That would be incredibly foolish.

Jaylon is the future of the defense.

i think we end up losing out cuz we're too far from home. if ND was closer it would be a no brainer imo. hope i'm wrong, just a gut feeling.

 

[Trojan Princess]

Eddie said from day one, he would take all his visits. Why wouldn't he have Notre Dame on his list? It's a special place, everyone can agree, even those of us who chose another school.

 

[yankeeND]

I'm with Philly on this, gotta see how his visit goes. That campus has worked more than it's share of magic over the years!

 

[PraetorianND]

I get it!

 

[NDPhilly]

USC has the last OV to which is a great insurance plan for them.

 

[NDdomer2]

Sorry Princess but if I get five free trips, and haven't taken any until December, I don't think South Bend, Indiana is on the list of destinations unless I'm truly interested in Notre Dame.
