'14 FL RB Sony Michel (Georgia Verbal)

[ALLGATOR]

The fact that there is no Miami is crazy. I like our chances better now than I did a while back.

It is far from over if Miami doesn't get Cook Yerby or Michel there will be a mass suicide in south Florida.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

He said he likes those three because they are college towns and have the college feel. "Miami is just Miami."

 

[Chamellion]

South Bend has a college town feel?

News to me. I guess Eddy St. counts a bit.

 

[Irish2155]

South Bend has a college town feel?

I think so, especially around campus.

 

[NDman3]

Just throw reality out the window for a second and imagine this, leonard fournette and sony michel as our two rbs for 2014...
HOLY SH!T!!!!!!!

Would there be reason to pass it more than 10 times a game with the RBs on the roster?

From August to December, yes

From January to July, no

Could be close to making a decision per 247 sports.

I would guess that this news doesn't bode well?

 

[STLDomer]

Just visited Miami...

We are in his top 5

 

[KyfightingIrish36]

On 247 it has us at the same level with Florida and Miami.

 

[clashmore_mike]

Sony Michel, a five-star RB, could be close to a decision


He says he has no timeline, but may decide soon. Little bit of speculation from the 247 writer. Michel also talked about the 5 schools he is considering. Likes how ND uses backs both in the run game and pass game. The article also says there is some buzz (really, it said that) about Georgia. Michel himself didn't give any indication of leaning either way but he did just visit Miami.

 

[greyhammer90]

Did he end up coming to Solider Field to watch us kick the s**t out of Miami?

Don't believe so, but he did come up in June.

I have to believe if he decides soon he is going to Miami. He has been there a ton.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

I never have any idea where anyone would go, except guys like Eddie. Because I would go to ND, and I cannot see anything different.

But, this guy reminds me of a Greg Bryant as far as recruitment. I don't know if I would want to be a local school or football factory and get this guy's committment early. I think when it comes to crunch time, this guy really sweats about the dome: A)More and more high powered recruits are; B) He and Michael Deeb are friends enough. When he sees good things happening, that will carry lots of weight!

 

[Luckylucci]

In the picture from the 247 article he looks like he's in the NFL combine. Maybe a little stretch but pretty darn close. Stacked for a high school junior.

 

[Irish_irish]

Really hope we can use the connections currently on the team to pull either Michel or Starks next year.

 

[jerboski]

Gonna be tough to get him out of Florida in my opinion, really hoping Miami blows again and sanctions come! Could help us big time with Sony and KC

 

[rtrn2glory]

it kills me how it's taking the NCAA soooo long to crack down on miami, especially with all the evidence against them

And some evidence may have been obtained illegally so it can't be used in the case.

NCAA fail.

Better Miami than the other places.

 

[West Coast Domer]

Him and Duke Johnson would be quite the tandem

Does this really matter? It may not speak well of them, but we are talking rules violations...not a court of law.

Yeah, I don't think the NCAA has to follow any rules of procedure. It can pretty much do whatever it wants, hence the widely varying punishments for seemingly similar infractions.

 

[clashmore_mike]

it would probably only be for one season, since Johnson would be draft eligible, but yes that would be legit.

duck, duck, duck, duck, GOOSE!

 

[yankeeND]

Only northern team on the list. Never know!

 

[Who'saWildManNow]

I don't feel intimidated by any name, on any list, anymore.

 

[FLDomer]

I think FSU and Miami might be the teams to beat, both can offer early playing time. I hope Deeb can work his magic and pull this kid north!
