'13 CA DT Eddie Vanderdoes (UCLA)

[Kingbish01]

I actually feel like I'm stealing from my company today. The only thing work related I did today was walk in the door....lol

 

[Cackalacky]

Is this gonna drag out past today?

 

[Luckylucci]

I don't think so. It sounds like UCLA and Alabama have been left behind.

 

[OlympiaIrishFan]

Man, I really hope Eddie decides to come to ND. He would be an instant Star in the ND Nation, and I just could see him teamming up with Big Lou this year--and then busting out and being a star the year after. Look at how good Sheldon did this year!

This kid is an immense talent. And solidifying the middle of the D for years to come. Scary, scary, scary!!!

Hope he comes, this would be an epic day.

Go Irish

Definitely updating the resume after today. I feel naked as there's no way to hide what I'm actually doing, lol.

 

[JughedJones]

BK just said they're waiting on some 'West Coast' time zones and 'doesn't see us having 3 scholarships left at the end of the day.'

 

[irishpat183]

6'7.5''

Buuuut.... I still feel ya. Lol

5 more hours. If we don't land him at this point, I will 100% blame our media relations staff / recruiting media members for causing this chaos and will honestly flip out. This kind of crap seems to happen way too often (historically) with ND recruits where the media tries to "scoop" a commit, ruins a kid's moment, and then **** hits the fan.

The media shouldn't have been leaking BS early in the AM to begin with (though to be fair it started by people hearing from Alabama that they thought they were out and that we won)... and then it just got to a serious cluster eff thanks to the ND people putting his profile in the release.

I blame Brian Hardin for leaving for the Ball State deputy AD job and the media relations team being leaderless.

with you 100% on this.

seems we have a bunch of McLovins who are our interns/students whatever out there with no common sense or street smarts.
this is serius business-can you just DO YOUR JOB?
there's 200 guys on this site that i guarantee wouldnt EVER let this type of gaffe happen.
you cannot get SLOPPY with a situation like EV's recrutiment. kid is on the razors edge in terms of making a choice, has wanted to do this "his way" all year...and now this?
good grief--it just can't happen.
ps is the Hardin Ball St gig considered a promotion??? wtf is that anyway?

I am ready fire my self right about now.. I haven't even answered my phone today..

 

[NDinFL]

BK just said they're waiting on some 'West Coast' time zones and 'doesn't see us having 3 scholarships left at the end of the day.'

Love it.

 

[NDBoiler]

I am EV - faxing my LOI now.

GIVE ME MY vBUCKS!!

Nice try mister.

 

[OlympiaIrishFan]

Oh, now look at the guys going into the NFL from the Defensive side of the ball the past couple of seasons and in the near future:

Ian Williams, Harrison Smith, Manti, Nix, Tuitt, Shembo, KLM, Motta, BJack, --Lynch sorry, Blanton.

Times are changing and going back to the old days. Come on Eddie just cement your spot in the Irish Nation!

BK just said they're waiting on some 'West Coast' time zones and 'doesn't see us having 3 scholarships left at the end of the day.'

Really...

 

[BleedBlueGold]

BK just said they're waiting on some 'West Coast' time zones and 'doesn't see us having 3 scholarships left at the end of the day.'

Who would be the other two?

 

[SoIll]

BK just said they're waiting on some 'West Coast' time zones and 'doesn't see us having 3 scholarships left at the end of the day.'

who else?? am I missing something??

 

[jimmymac]

Gonna be a long 4 and a half hours

 

[JughedJones]

He didn't say we wouldn't have any left, just said he didn't think we'd have 3.

 

[clashmore_mike]

BK just said they're waiting on some 'West Coast' time zones and 'doesn't see us having 3 scholarships left at the end of the day.'

where are you seeing/hearing that?

 

[woolybug25]

Who would be the other two?

Folston was one of them. I'm not sold on his comment meaning that all three will be gone, rather that we wont have three open spots at the end of the day.

 

[NDinFL]

Who would be the other two?

I didn't think we had room for 2 more (aside from EV)

 

[koonja]

He's saying 'not 3'. Not 3 could be 2, could be 1. Doesn't mean we're getting 3 more.

 

[TDHeysus]

Elite first step & burst for a 300 lbs man. He is the difference between one very good class and an elite class.

...and with no pads on, you can see the great technique being used along with that explosive first step; a deadly combination. You can also observe his 'head smarts' with regard to getting/applying leverage. dude is the total package for a dlineman

 

[Irishman77]

I posted the 3 schollies in the who's next and nsd if we don't want to clog up EV thread.

 

[JughedJones]

He's saying 'not 3'. Not 3 could be 2, could be 1. Doesn't mean we're getting 3 more.

precisely.

 

[irishff1014]

Yup i believe this too.

 

[clashmore_mike]

Maybe some positive news coming on Slaughter?

 

[ND NYC]

Maybe some positive news coming on Slaughter?

good point! anythng on his appeal yet?

 

[SD Irish]

BK just said they're waiting on some 'West Coast' time zones and 'doesn't see us having 3 scholarships left at the end of the day.'

Believe that was before TF became official (they specified 22 LOI were in)

So that leaves EV and...???? Maybe BK plans on having 1 scholarship left? What other dark horses are still out there?

 

[BleedBlueGold]

Hoping it means EV and one other...

Edit: Ah yea....could be w/ Slaughter. Good call.

 

[smcdonald5]

Is his announcement going to be on anywhere? If his commitment is at 8 then it won't be on ESPN because the ESPNU National Signing Day Special ends at 7
