Goodbye recruiting. I am officially done with you and no longer care.

Assuming he's gone, who are the other RB targets now on the board for us?

The worst part about this might not be that he may decommit, but that now, any gains he's made on any other players in recruiting them to ND are now gone. Eff.


STAY ELIJAH!!!! Get on it Tony.

This was my initial reaction too. When something like this basically ruins your day like it did mine, it's probably time to take a step back and not get so emotionally invested. On a positive note, at least this isn't happening in January, so there's plenty of time to find someone else. Good luck to Elijah wherever he ends up.

His reasoning has to be based on the gauntlet being backwards. i'm sure other teams are negatively recruiting about how Kelly doesn't know what he's doing.

Interesting - Hood has seemed like all ND since his verbal.

Wonder of he would still recruit for us?

Yeah, between what Loy/Christian have said and the UNC board rumors and that tweet it seems like this is trending to a bad place.

Also, before the tweet there was a poster on ISD who said "distance + girlfriend" was about to rear it's ugly head... who knows how much truth there is to that or the specifics, I guess we'll have to wait and see. Maybe they both want to go to UNC together.

At least Alford is on it... so I'll give us a 5% chance.

Nathan Starks was close to commit a few months ago when he visited along with one teammate, M. Quick and the CB from Texas. But maybe the things changed after he was expelled.

First, even a decommitment may not be the end of his road to South Bend. He could be back.

Second, this woun't crush our backfield strength by any stretch. We have an embearassment of riches in the backfield right now and if Folston or Bryan sit for the year, we have a stud with 4 years of eligibility ready to take the field next year.

I'm not going to get worked up about this.

This would definitely hurt, but it's better for Hood to man up and come out with it, rather than ND get a surprise on NSD.

If he does it now, the staff can make necessary adjustments.

It will be funny to see how this impacts the class rankings...

he is the corner stone of the class.

Never want to lose a 5 star recruit, but the 14 class is the first class that is for reloading not rebuilding. We are set up for the long haul now. Barring a transfer catastrophe I am not bothered by this. We will win, we will get ours, all is well.

Unless we lose Kelly!

I check back here to see what words of comfort our poet laureate, irishpat183, has for us in this time of strife:



Thank you, Pat. You have a beautiful soul.



BAD KARMA.

Point trying to make is that despite Greg Bryant, depth is important because you never know what could happen. Kid is a stud. Do wish him the best if he leaves.
