'13 CA DT Eddie Vanderdoes (UCLA)

[arrowryan]

OH GAWD.

He said he loved the cold

 

[phgreek]

OH GAWD.

saw that too...I laughed out loud...SMH

I have no idea what EV is going to do in the morning, but for the rest of the night I'm going to sip on a beer and just pretend I know he's commiting to the Irish.

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

He isnt making his decision til 5 PM Pacific Time, correct?

then perhaps I won't need to sip afterall.

 

[GoldenDomerDJ]

At this point I just hope he doesn't go to USC or Alabama. Of course I would be thrilled if he choose the Irish, but I wouldn't be to upset if went to UCLA. UDub seems out of it at this point.

 

[greyhammer90]

Am I the only one that becomes suspicious of anything posted by the media the week of signing day? These guys live for signing day impulse members.

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

I heard that on the Sirius College Sports station early this morning. You will be guzzling by that point. Too much thread to unravel and read to confirm one small piece of info. Will be a long afternoon and evening if we have to wait til 8 PM EST.

 

[Irish Insanity]

By his tweet earlier I gather he will commit to the program earlier on silently, but not announce until later.

It's reached full on addiction. I can't help it. I am a total hypocrite.

The first step on the road to recovery is admitting you have a problem

JC Shuburt's reasoning for predicting Vanderdoes to ND.

"Confidence on the part of ND and at least one other school in the mix thinks that the Irish are who they have to beat.
I think it's Notre Dame or UCLA to be quite honest. Could go either way and it's all going to depend on if he wants to stay on the west coast or not.
He's a great kid and can't make a bad choice. He will be successful wherever he goes."

 

[palinurus]

If he's really as uncertain as the Preps article makes it seem, then it's a close call, right? And if it's a close call, and when it's a close call, doesn't any boy want to make his ma happy and proud?

bama?

I speculate his only reservation on being Irish is geography. I don't think it will stop him but the real reality of moving to the Midwest is taking some time to work through. Up until a month or so ago he thought he was a California kid.

We offer the best degree and will compete for a national championship every year without screwing kids over.

He is a great kid. He is Irish!

 

[WakeUpEchoes]

Just quick question: IFFFFFFFF we get EV...when is the last time we will have had a class this good?

 

[Goldedommer44]

never

 

[Luckylucci]

Definitely interested to know which team said that they thought we were the team to beat. My guess would be Bama as well.

 

[NDPhilly]

2008 or early 90s

 

[GoIrish41]

2008 or early 90s

weak on D, especially DL. This class will be better. Probably have to go back to the Holtz years -- maybe even the Faust years. I donno.

1990 class with Jerome Bettis, Bryant Young, Brian Hamilton, Oliver Gibson, Tom Carter and Aaron Taylor is hard to beat. Also Jeff Burris. Four 1st round draft choices in Young, Bettis, Carter and Taylor.

He's announcing his decision at 5PM Pacific. I would guess he will have made his decision prior to that.

Don't forget Tim Ruddy in that awesome class.

Recruiting: On Paper vs. On Field

 

[IrishLion]

No one seen his Roll Tide Roll tweet? Or was that way earlier?

 

[arrowryan]

It was to Nicoh Falah and Nico sent him a tweet saying Roll Tide Roll first.

So EV just didn't randomly tweet it

 

[IrishLion]

I think he's just trolling for fun at this point, he was saying that every fanbase gets pissed off when he doesn't RT them haha

 

[pumpdog20]

Well Manti's class was revised to #2 I believe, so that's good right?
