'13 CA DT Eddie Vanderdoes (UCLA)

[Whiskeyjack]

And that's it? We never get to learn what the extenuating circumstances are?

 

[STLDomer]

**** that

 

[tko]

absurdity.

 

[Rhode Irish]

Notre Dame blew this one. First time I've really been disappointed by the staff since they got here.

 

[KyfightingIrish36]

Actually has not been released yet. But family believes it will happen. Said ND was fearful that EV would sign with USC.

This recruitment is horseshit

 

[NDPhilly]

**** this. Matthew Thomas will probably get his release to USC now.

 

[NDBoiler]

Obviously the question still remains, what was the reason? ND allowing a release really makes it look like an "oops, my bad" situation.

 

[NDPhilly]

“@SacBee_JoeD: Vanderdoes said ND was "gracious" in the process. Stressed that "circumstances changed" w a desire to be close to family.”


You're ****in 6 hours from your family.

 

[Rack Em]

ESPN now has a legit reason to rail on us. So does all of college football. We just let them down big time.

 

[IrishSteelhead]

BOOOOOO

I liked this thread better yesterday.....

and who wants to go to college with their sister? Bad idea in my book.

Was it a coaching staff decision or Administration?

Jenkins isn't Gee.

Under Monk I would have no doubt.

 

[Emcee77]

Ugh sooooo disappointing

 

[ThePiombino]

This is some bullshits.

What's this based on? We still don't know why Vanderdoes changed his mind, do we? I mean for all we know there could be a legitimate reason he wants to be closer to home. Or did I miss it?

Not that I don't think you are probably be right. If the rumors of an "academic misunderstanding" are true, then the staff likely bears responsibility for that. Just wondering if you know something I don't or if you are just angry.

Kicking my neighbors dog in 3 2 1....

 

[ResLife Hero]

This whole fiasco sucks big time.

 

[ThePiombino]

I know better than to actually believe that we, as fans, are ever owed anything other than full intentions from staff and administration to put the best possible product on the field each and every year. That said, I want some ****ing answers here.

 

[HawaiianIrish]

No honor in signing you LOI....

6 hour drive means weekends are a possibility, means family can see every game as well as a lot of road ones being in the PAC12.

Not sure what the #^$& people want Kelly to do. Sounds like they didn't let him out. Maybe he had an underlying legit reason, maybe he didn't, maybe he pulled a Gunner and realized he didnt want to be there/that far. Who knows.

 

[Irishnuke]

@Jake_Brown: #NotreDame HAS NOT released Vanderdoes from his NLI. It’s written right in the story. 4th paragraph: Prep Blog: National football recruit Vanderdoes says he is not going to Notre Dame and is off to UCLA

So what is the truth?

I don't want it from the staff. We ALL deserve it from Eddie's mouth. To pull this stunt, say he is having a press conference, and leave us hanging has left a really bad feeling for him as a person. He has no integrity left and should be forthcoming unless he wants this to follow him into the NFL grading process.

 

[IrishSteelhead]

Love the new title to this thread. So fitting.

Good luck to the kid though. I hope EV gets whatever he wants the rest of his life, because things get pretty awkward when he doesn't......

According to Joe Schad,

@schadjoe: ND did not allow Vanderdoes a release from his National Letter of Intent

.

 

[STLDomer]

“@schadjoe: Vanderdoes can take a scholarship from UCLA this season and practice, but won't play.”

“@schadjoe: ND did not allow Vanderdoes a release from his National Letter of Intent”

“@schadjoe: In order to switch to UCLA, Vanderdoes gives up a year of playing eligibility (can only play three seasons in next 4 years)”

Sounds a little better than what Sac Bee was tweeting

 

[Luckylucci]

If we haven't released him and the family is trying to gain some good PR from this, then what a bunch of yahoos.

 

[Kak7304]

@schadjoe: In order to switch to UCLA, Vanderdoes gives up a year of playing eligibility (can only play three seasons in next 4 years)

 

[Chi_IRISH]

Why even have LOI? Seriously what is the point? Transferring is one thing, but this just smells bad! Best of luck at UCLA and your new staff in a year!

 

[ThePiombino]

According to Joe Schad, .

So he's going and paying his own way I assume? No football activities either until sophomore season? Or am I way off?
