'13 MO ATH Ezekiel Elliott (Ohio State Verbal)

[Buster Bluth]

Mizzou's actually a little better than OSU - 64% vs. 62% for African-American GSR, respectively. Though OSU's degree value is still 27% better.

 

[GBdomer]

If we weren't recruiting him as a DB I feel he would have committed to ND.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

All of the recent points are converging. Graduation rates by racial group don't matter for this kid. He will succeed. He wants to do things his way. If we lied to him like they did, he would have committed; but would he ever have signed on the sixth? We will see if he really opens things up or is just trying to find out where he stands. I hope he gets a new school, far away from Mizzou.

I would love for us to get back in the hunt, but we are getting loaded at RB and DB; where would we play him?

give credit where credit is due.

that's funny!!! i never saw that one

always felt bad for Derek Dooley..UT is a graveyard these days

He had no business taking that job in the first place. UT panicked and hired a guy that had one year of a winning record while at La Tech.

 

[Bobias]

Damn damn damn c'mon make a push kelly! I know EE wants to be Irish...

This. I think we all have felt that this one was never really over. We have great opportunity here if we push now, and I sure wouldn't mind having him. Could be a great DB/OLB for us.

 

[ab2cmiller]

The only thing ND should be doing is making sure that EE knows that a spot could be available if Bryant or Folston flips.

The last thing you want to do now is push hard for EE and not get him and in the mean time you push Bryant or Folston out the door because they see us going after EE.

 

[ALLGATOR]

I despise UT but its a much better program than Mizzou. UT has new facilities and can get players out of North Carolina and Georgia.

 

[Emcee77]

I think this ship has sailed. If Bryant or Folston flips the staff will push for Isaac, the guy they've kept in contact with. Or has there been renewed contact with EE? I haven't heard of any.

 

[ab2cmiller]

Is it wrong for me to me be smiling at the thought of EE spurning pOSU?

This a a recruits thread

Not an Urban Meyer Thread.

Watch the foul language-Warning to All

 

[STLDomer]

I was told months ago Urban/OSU made some big promises to Zeke's family/friends so I doubt he flips to Mizzou but I know he is seriously considering it. Apparently Mizzou rolled out the red carpet big time including promises of a more run oriented offense (they have a new OC) and Pinkel walked out with the recruits during the Mizzou bball game led by Zeke to which the crowd chanted MIZ-EZE ( they did the EXACT same thing last year for Dorial Green Beckham: MIZ-DGB).

I have a hard time believing this. I'm pretty sure that'd be a violation.

 

[STLDomer]

I have a hard time believing this. I'm pretty sure that'd be a violation.

They weren't presented at mid-court or announced in any way. The fans just recognize high profile guys like Elliott or DGB. Similar to how EV said a lot of ND students knew who he was. Plus Notre Dame fans chanted Gunner Kiel when he walked threw following the player walk on his visit last year

Students made posters, faces, everything when DGB visited last year

Here are photos of DGB last year as he made his way to court side seats, very visible

 

[yankeeND]

This would be a solid flip for me. I really can't stand hearing about UM and his recruiting prowess anymore. I didn't mind him until his final year at Florida and how that all shook out. Something wasn't right. Anyways hate we couldn't reel him(EE) but this would suffice!

 

[greyhammer90]

Sorry misread. Thought you meant that he led the chant.

 

[ab2cmiller]

EE is keeping quiet till signing day.

Sadly, I think pOSU and UFM are probably in a no lose situation. I think EE sticks with his commit if Wilson doesn't choose the Bucks.

If Wilson commits to the Bucks, I think EE flips.

I wish there was a way that pOSU would get burned and end up with neither. But I just don't see that happening.

#Alabama offers Ohio State RB commit Ezekiel Elliott.

 

[Ironman8]

Relax Bama. 3 top RBs is enough.

 

[IrishLion]

LOL Saban trying to steal a late one from Urban.

 

[CanadalovesND]

Relax Bama. 3 top RBs is enough.

And they are still recruiting Alvin samara, a RB/WR prospect. Perhaps they think he (Kamara) is Georgia bound and want to get there foot in with another talented prospect before NSD.

 

[clashmore_mike]

Relax Bama. 3 top RBs is enough.

nah, not if #4 comes from Urban. You can never have enough of those.

 

[GBdomer]

FSU also offered. Damnit why can't we just recruit him as a RB

 

[NDPhilly]

Maybe Altee Tenpenny is decommiting?

 

[Me2SouthBend]

Strong belief that he is headed to Arkansas.

Would you still want him if (when, knock on wood) ND lands Bryant and Folston?

 

[ThePiombino]

Certainly wouldn't need him. That's for sure.

Heck ya man. Can never have enough play makers something we lack.
