'14 NC RB Elijah Hood (UNC Verbal)

[STLDomer]

Ernest Jones deserves a shoutout for this one, always is behind the scenes

 

[Irish8248]

Guess we really showed him what it was like to be a ND LB...

 

[Rhode Irish]

It's not so much of what it said, it's more of what I think is going to happen.

Comes away impressed by impressed by Notre Dame, parents love the campus/education, and he will have a Notre Dame high for about a week. Then everything will go back to normal and NC will still be the favorite.

And even after a "home run" visit to Notre Dame, he will still be a tough pull from NC. I don't like our chances but I'm probably wrong

well doesn't this guy feel like a dumbass

At least you were right about being wrong, man.

Christian on ISD is reporting that Elijah says that the distance will always suck, but ND is the only place he is visiting, and that the ND players were the biggest reason for his choice. He is fired up about his decision.

Welcome Elijah!!!!

 

[SaltyND24]

Sweet Baby Jesus! Is this real life?!?!

At least you were right about being wrong, man.

lol. So does that mean I was right all along!?

 

[clashmore_mike]

Let's go!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Irish Fam]

This is good news

 

[TCramer]

 

[Irishnuke]

Cool

 

[Rhode Irish]

Define drama. I'm interested.

I just don't think there will be much wavering. He isn't going to find out anything new about UNC at this point. He knows he likes them, and he still picked ND. There is always a chance, but I'm not predicting much.

If you really want to bet, I'll offer odds that no major recruiting service writes anything suggesting he is likely to flip to UNC (citing a source) between now and NSD. I'll offer 50M vBucks.

Welcome Elijah!!!!

The only place he is visiting? Wow.

I do think many of our players are the best ambassadors a program could hope for.

 

[JughedJones]

I'll bet vBucks on no drama if you want.

I'm with you on this.

Unless ND goes into the tank this season, I don't see him fluctuating.

This has been a family decision, I think he's solid.

One can only fully appreciate this fantastic news with this in the background.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Rambler09]

Can't wait to watch this kid truck people. Just imagine the competition we're going to have in the backfield

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

Awesome! Welcome Elijah! Congrats! Go Irish!

I'll take that bet, and gladly pay if I lose. So UNC will be the only school recognized for the bet?

*I'm assuming "major recruiting services" are the ones listed in every player profile right?

 

[magogian]

Wohoooooooooooooooooooooooooo. So excited.

Welcome to the ND family!!!!!!!

Just awesome. For the lack of a better term, he is an SEC back. Reminds me of Todd Gurley. He will be great. What a backfield of the future!

This is how recruiting at ND is supposed to be after playing for a NC!

[EddytoNow]

Welcome aboard, Elijah. This is beginning to look like a return to the days of the 7 Mules and the 4 Horsemen, high-quality running backs dashing through holes opened by top-notch offensive linemen. Now we just need to add Nelson and Bars to join the revival of the 7 Mules.
