'13 OH ATH Marcus Ball (ASU Signed LOI)

[PraetorianND]

I think he is a big time recruit that wants to get on the ND train. I'm pretty sure he misses his chance though.

We wouldn't accept his commitment?

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

He had an opportunity to commit over the summer or was it spring? Train left the station a while back. I hope he enjoys his time at ND, anyway.

[Domina Nostra]

He'll be fine. Even if he has to go to a lesser school that he does not like as much, he can always say he trusted the process...

 

[NDFAN22]

Told ya he would be a badger.

Visiting Michigan this weekend

 

[NDFAN22]

Expect a surprise here...not Irish though :/

 

[rtrn2glory]

ann arbor??

 

[IrishLax]

Apparently announcing at 2:30.... seems really stupid for him to flip from Wisconsin to either MSU or Michigan. I guess Michigan has a spot with us grabbing Smythe.

 

[rtrn2glory]

why do you consider that stupid??

 

[IrishLax]

why do you consider that stupid??

Because he'd have a much easier path to playing time at Wisconsin + Wisconsin was playing some really good football at the end of the year and won the Big Ten + he's been committed there for a long time and I think NSD flips, in general, are a poor way to handle things.

 

[rtrn2glory]

maybe...but i think if he went to michigan state he could get on the field too, might have a tougher time in ann arbor.

 

[NDFAN22]

Ill eliminate both of those haha...he turned down UM couple days after his visit there.

 

[rtrn2glory]

arizona st then is my guess, since you said it's a surprise.

 

[NDdomer2]

ill guess OSU

 

[NewBrunswickIrish]

Tennessee is what I'm saying, although West Virgina was my second guess

 

[NDFAN22]

He signing at 3 today and I know its not anywhere relevant to ND fans haha with EV going on but those last couple posts are very good guesses.

 

[IrishLax]

If he's going outside of the Big Ten or to Ohio State or to an elite academic school like Northwestern then I take back my comment about it being a silly decision.

 

[NDFAN22]

Arizona State

 

[NDFAN22]

Signed with ASU just a little bit ago. Was not too happy with the coaching changes at Wisconsin. Again not very important to ND but I was very impressed with Wisconsin not coming out saying he left a week ago and keeping it quiet. Very impressed with that staff for the class they showed.

 

[rtrn2glory]

good luck to him...girls are gorgeous out there.

"Shockingly" so. The magic of warm weather and low admissions standards.

Am I detecting some latent hostility here?

Make your money first. Then tail is always easy to come by. Don't need a spreadsheet to tell me that.

No... it was a joke. ...Am I detecting some insecurity here?
