[chicago51]

Everyone's just waiting to see if ND adds underwater basketweaving to the course catalog. No info.

[GBdomer]

I'm so bummed he's not going to ND.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

It's not a core class issue

Rumored to be test scores, which means the "work to be done" is retaking/ raising his ACT or SAT scores. Maybe he's unwilling to do so with so many others willing to take him as is.

It's more than one simple test score. It's a test score on top of a missing class.

That's the most believable to me. Especially if we continued to recruit him.
Anyway, bummed, but not heart broken like I was last year with a few guys.
This year, there seems to be a lot of fish in the sea still biting.
If it works out, good, if not, next man in.
MEH

 

[Luckylucci]

Very bummed as well GB. Like many of you have stated he was my #1 OLB/DE want in this class. Whats even more depressing is he is most likely headed to MIAMI, seriously. So we have to play him in the future.

:brokenhea
Still time left before signing day though. It's kinda like breaking up with a long time girlfriend. It's tough, but ya gotta move on. Just remember there's a couple of smokin hot blondes out there waiting for ya.

Funny. I just did that, and yes there is, LOL. Prompted me to change my avatar..... Boom.

This does seem the most likely. It explains why the coaches aren't totally giving up on him and why he seems to be considering going a different direction even so.


Prevot and Hollins are solid backup options, but neither has AQM's freakish athleticism. Definitely sad that it looks like he won't be part of the class.

We do?

 

[DCIrish]

If he didn't do what it takes to get in then that's his fault. This class will be great with or without him. Plenty of other options that ND can close with.

 

[Cali_domer]

We do?

Most likely with our ACC 5 games a year deal.

 

[RuntheBall]

One positive of him going (presumably) to Miami:
They have a good chance of getting sanctions, and then maybe the NCAA would allows players to transfer without penalty.

 

[Luckylucci]

I would assume that by the time he graduates that we'll have played them with at least one of our 5 ACC games a year. However, after you asked I did some checking and they way the current schedule looks for the next 3 years we might not. One thing to keep in mind is that we don't need to add 5 ACC games because we already play approx. 3/year. So we just have to add two and they might not be the first ones we schedule. Here is a link to our schedule until 2015.

I like the way you think...

 

[Irish To The Core]

Did I miss something here? Have either Muhammad or BK announced that he is no longer considering/being considered by Notre Dame?

I have to admit I did not read every doomsday post in this thread because most of them (okay all of them) that I looked at simply said he can't meet admissions standards.

Call me crazy but I'm waiting until he announces his choice to wave goodbye.

 

[irish o'phile]

I thought he was going to announce today. Did he? If he did not, isn't that a good thing?

It's only 12:12 AM the day is young...

Friday Night was the Semper Fi and UA Game, Saturday is the Army Game where AQM is announcing

Oh, I'm sorry. I am in a high school football all star game induced haze. They have all become one in the same.

ND is required to play every team at least once every 3 seasons.

 

[rikkitikki08]

Until he commits to Miami im saying we still have a solid chance. This coaching staff has my trust 110%

 

[Bogtrotter07]

This thread has been worth it. As bad as ESPN doing an article about Stephon Tuit and publishing a picture of TJ Jones. Yes they both wear "7". (Check out ESPN norts spews.)

lol why does everyone feel the need share this? Your faith in the staff, or lack thereof, doesn't affect this situation.

 

[johnnykillz]

* crosses fingers hoping for the big guy.

I still hope we miraculously close with AQM and Eddie V.

<.5% chance, arbitrarily, but I like our chances.

 

[yankeeND]

I'm with you JK! If he is leaning the other way he could of woke up today and said, I'm gonna get this done! Recruiting is crazy so you never know. Either way, there is a chance until Signing Day so keep the faith!

 

[clashmore_mike]

Announcing during 3rd quarter.

It's just not happening, unfortunately.

Well I hate that. Something that seemed so no brainer for months turns out so confusing. Thanks for the info.

My dad told me that his dad says the academic issue is all smoke but he did not really get into what al's choice is
