'13 CA DT Eddie Vanderdoes (UCLA)

[Who'saWildManNow]

I'm actually really close to Tuscaloosa right now aaaand my old roommate is Mal Moore's (Bama AD) nephew.

Might have to take a trip with the 'ol Rudy jacket and hit Tuscy town with my Bama friend...

 

[peoriairish]

Yes he is.

As of now. Things could change after the in home.

 

[tko]

am i wrong for hoping for flight delays and horrific weather across the south?

 

[rtrn2glory]

if the rumors are true and if he's as in to us as he seems to be with BK having the in home this week too....i wouldn't be surprised to see Saban have an in home before the visit to secure him coming this weekend.

yes (shaking my head no)

 

[FLDomer]

Does anyone have any word on how Poggi's visit went to Alabama? If Bama was to get a commitment from Poggi would that help us more with EV?

 

[clashmore_mike]

Dee Liner too

 

[ndfb3]

Dee Liner too

Awesome name for someone playing DLine.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

My heart is racing right now...

interview today from another Bama site.

After the Alabama visit, where does Poggi's recruitment stand? Is he still firmly committed to Michigan?

"I'm not saying a word about that," Coach Poggi said.


I think his dad wants him to go to Bama but Henry wants to fo to Michigan.

According to B&G, Vanderdoes’ mother is “all in, all Notre Dame.”

Awesomeness.

 

[TheTurningPoint]

Itll be interesting to see if he goes on the visit to Bama this weekend

If he does, are his parents expected to go along as well?

Mom being "all in" is huge! Feeling good, but not over confident. Like TP said, it will be very interesting to see if he makes the trip to Bama.

 

[NDFANnSouthWest]

If he cancels the Bama trip I am feeling good on this one. If he goes ... my confidence takes a hit.

 

[STLDomer]

Sapp is unsure if his mom will visit Bama, said his dad and Grandpa are

 

[quarterback1010]

I feel the same way exactly. It sounds like he really enjoyed Notre Dame, as did his parents. Put that together with the fact that he has a bigger shot at playing time early and that we don't have pending offers (Liner etc.) and we actually look to be in really good shape. It sounds like USC might be out of the picture but I still wouldn't count out UCLA.

One is never wrong to hope for good things for Notre Dame and bad things for Ohio State.

 

[WakeUpEchoes]

Why do we think U$C is out of picture...?

 

[calvegas04]

what about UCLA? thought they were front runners?

 

[palinurus]

I have predicted Bama and will be highly surprised if he doesn't even visit Bama, but that's all hunch.

I say in all seriousness, if recruits' mothers had the deciding word, I think ND would have the #1 class every year. As we all suspect, if we are honest with ourselves, mothers know.

Ok so I signed up for the USC 247 for the month and there is this guy that posts there that is supposed to be in the know about everything. Seriously everytime he posts they drool over it, including Scott Schrader who is the actual reporter. Anyways he posted today that if NSD was today both EV and A'Shawn Robinson would be Trojans. He also went on to say that Prevot is gone and that people shouldn't be surprised if SC gets Matthew Thomas.

That guy sounds full of dogshit!

Recruiting is crazy. I have now seen 4 'legit sources' state that each of ND, UCLA, USC, and Bama are in the best position to get his LOI on NSD.

In a world where information can travel at the blink of an eye, misinformation can travel even faster.

 

[rtrn2glory]

i just have a really hard time believing that this kid has eliminated both west coast schools with over a week before signing day. maybe i'm not giving ND's and bama's coaches enough credit, but for them to come into his picture as late as they did and suddenly be the top 2 is just hard for me to digest. am i crazy??

Boo! Take it back.

 

[ResLife Hero]

I'm less skeptical of the EV piece of that as I am the Robinson and Thomas bits. I thought there was an article after Thomas' visit that it was "just ok", but I can't find it so I could be wrong.

I was going to sign up for that too but my next free trail isn't until the April. Damn Gatorbait.

Is the poster "AltadenaMike"? Sapp just quoted him on the BGI board. Bizarre to see him quoting a poster.
