'14 IL QB Tommy Mister (Indiana Verbal)

[BeauBenken]

How could they possibly say they are 2-0 against us in recruiting match ups? We haven't been recruiting Mister for a very long time, and we only started recruiting Lazzard relatively recently...and he was already committed to ISU! That's like claiming to have outrun someone in a marathon because you ran it last year.

I'm not even entirely sure how high the staff is on Lazzard. He may be in the top 5 on our board, and I'm not even sure if that's the case.

Not pompous, just honest.

Seriously guys, lay off Iowa State. Does it make you feel good to rip on a school with an all-time winning percentage of .458? Are you jealous they have won 2 conference championships, the last one in 1912, and we have won zero? It doesn't matter that those championships were shared...they were earned. For a school that has averaged less than 5 wins a year all-time and has appeared in the final AP rankings only twice, they are on the come up. If you can't see that you're blind. We need to get used to losing recruits to them. It's only going to get worse.

I didn't look very hard for this one.

outrun.... just sayin'. You're a mod and should be held to higher standards.

Trust me guys we are way way way better off without this kid! We are recuriting ELITE talent and Tommy Mister is far from it! The kid earned himself a chance to get a free college education so congrats to him! He is an ISU guy not an ND guy, that's the bottom line. To all ISU fans, enjoy being ISU fans catch ya at the next BCS game you dorks make.......Wait, matter of fact just start with being bowl eligible for a few years! Btw beating western illinois, a d1aa team shouldn't count as one of your "bowl eligible" wins! Beat it!

 

[Rhode Irish]

Eerily reminiscent of the Northwestern fan who came on here a year ago talking about Northwestern beating ND for kids that ND wasn't recruiting AT ALL or had already filled up the position with a better player. He was soooooooooooo confident in his beliefs simply because the Rivals/247/Scout/ESPN profile showed a self-reported ND "offer"...

...when shown the error of his ways by linking him the recruiting profiles on this site and giving him crystal clear date specific information about the recruiting, he resorted to attacking "ND fans" for being "arrogant" and the typical dribble. RIP Purple Haze. Maybe we'll be lucky enough to get some mouth breather from ISU to sign up and entertain us.

Are you going to be the one to tell them about the internet?

 

[condoms SUCk]

Congrats to the kid.
Beat Iowa!

Fixed. Just for you.

72 guests viewing this. LOLOLOLOL. Does anybody know if either of our five star recruits had ISU offers? I wonder if our All-Americans had ISU offers.

Damn, it's a shame we haven't already landed a higher rated QB before this! Oh, wait, we did.

 

[Fbolt]

Congrats on committing and obtaining 4 years of free higher education. More than I received when I was kicked out of... errr, graduated HS.

 

[greyhammer90]

Rep limits are an excruciating annoyance at times. (I know I can buy unlimited but that kills the value.)

Excellent use of an excellent phrase.

 

[dublinirish]

its pretty sad no more ISU heads signed up for some banter on here.

Are you sure it was just kicked out of HS and not out of the country? Singapore is a long way from high school.

 

[Fbolt]

Moving back in a few days. The statute of limitations has expired which is why I'm smiling!!

They built the first computer, so I'm sure they know about the internet.

One quote by Rhoadhoused on cyclonefanatic.com:



I get the Lazard thing (but still far from NSD) but they seriously think that they are 2-0? Haha, I got nothing against Mister, but someone should just remind them that he is a 3 star ATH/QB and we stopped recruiting him months ago!

ISU just isn't used to getting those three star players..

Quote from their thread:

The best part about being an ISU fan: every little victory is pretty exciting.

Wahoo!

It's kinda funny, they're blowing loads left and right over this one. Gratz to Mister, he's happy with his decision, but I can't see why anyone would think we'd be really broken up over the announcement if we stopped recruiting him.

That part sounds pompous. Lazard is a high 4 star recruit at a position of dire need who has been in regular contact with our staff. I find it hard to believe our coaches don't want him badly.

He's right though. Either the II Podcast or ISD Power Hour said a similar thing. He was offered rather late for a guy Coach Elliott knew very much about. Derek Kief, Cameron Sims, Malachi Dupre, Dallis Todd, & Mark Andrews are all big bodied recievers offered before Lazard.

 

[IrishLax]

There is no doubt that Lazard is desired right now... but assuming we get Corey Holmes in a couple weeks (sans Jim Mora bull$hit... which should almost be expected with his track record of selling recruits on proximity to the Playboy Mansion, the EV nonsense, etc. but I digress) it's quite unclear if we'd have room for him or would take his commitment. You'd be looking at 2 more WR spots with at least 1 going to a "speed" guy. And we'd have two guys already signed up in Lazard's mold and who he is not necessarily appreciably better than.

Yep I fully expect Holmes and McKenzie to be part of this class in August. Then you're looking at only taking a Malachi Dupre, Michiah Quick (Top 2 on our board) or some other names like Cameron Sims.

See, to me, that's actually pretty cool and akin to every ISU fan I have ever encountered (meaning, one fan). This guy gets it. It's probably his local school, and instead of rooting for a school that always wins, he's stayed true to his roots. As an Angel fan who watched my team consistently lose and choke historically when we did have good teams, I always appreciate loyal fans.

I personally don't get why people are so up in arms over what a few Internet message boards idiots are saying on another team's board. Of course they don't know everything about ND and of course there are some bitter, idiot fans (have you read some of the things we've said on this site??? LOL...Didn't you know we have 8 elite defensive linemen, and every team that plays us sucks and has no chance? among many other beauties said on this site...hell, I backed CW for years lol) Why should anyone care about them? I bet ISU fans, if you tailgated with them, are pretty cool, down-to-earth people (not like OSU fans...the worst of all-time).

So for me...good for them. A little guy getting a big fish in Lazard and a player once offered by Notre Dame. Have fun with it boys...

 

[Ironman8]

There are a ton of ND fans who boast about the self reported offer lists of new ND commits, particularly offers from Alabama, LSU, Florida, Georgia, Oklahoma, USC, etc, where fans from those schools know that sometimes those offers either weren't actionable, the staff wasn't recruiting them hard, or some other set of similar circumstances.

Fans of every school do it. They see what they see, and react to it. How are they supposed to know who we are and aren't recruiting hard?

For instance, none of the SEC programs sans Auburn late were recruiting Greg Bryant very hard at the end (coming from their recruiting knowledgeable fans), yet most here think we beat out most of the SEC of him. Doesn't matter to me who we beat for him personally - all I care about is that he is a stud and he is at ND.

Hell, I'd love it if all the staff's top wants were easy gets and that other high name schools don't go after them hard. I trust our staff to find who they want and need for the program more than I trust recruiting services / other staffs / fans, especially since almost all have no idea how our staff view individual players and their fits into our schemes and program.

Pretty much what STL said. I like Lazard, and I think we would take him, but I also think there were at one point in time receivers on our board who were higher and there are STILL receivers who are higher.

Keep in mind that being outside of our top 5 targets does NOT mean he isn't good. We just recruit some really good dudes.

I don't really have any problems with ISU fans. Most of them are cool, these comments on the Cyclone board were just kind of silly:

Also, that makes us 2-0 against Notre Dame this so far with Mister and Lazard. Anyone want to go check that pompous ND board and see if they still think Lazard is coming?

Notre Dame has to hate losing multiple recruits to Iowa State....

Far be it from me to say that some of our fans aren't delusional too, but...well...I'm just tired of losing all our prized recruits to the ISU powerhouse

 

[ulukinatme]

Thought this was interesting. Mister was answering questions online, and this one was posed 3 days ago:

Why not ND? Not bashing them or anything but why was ISU better?
ND is great but i didnt feel at home there and Kelly acts upity

So, let it be known that Kelly is upity and it's costing him recruits.

Yawn

/facepalm

 

[Chi_IRISH]

Well when you are not being actively recruited and the coach really doesn't want you I'm sure he may seem uppity!
