'14 IN OLB/S Drue Tranquill (Notre Dame Man)

Fair point

Wisconsin offered

I wonder if Ben Smith will write an article about Gary Andersen's integrity. Remember, poaching other teams recruits is "weak sauce"

 

[Brown]

I've read a lot of different things that say we don't do non-actionable offers unless it's academics related. In fact one reason why it seems we are slow with offers in certain situations is because the staff will only offer if they are ready to accept a commitment.

This is far from the truth. BK gives out conditional and non-commitable offers just like every program in the country. And there's many examples.

An offer in 2013 just means a program is interested in you ... and unless you are at the very top of a program's board, they will slow play you the same way a recruit would.

You just never know who really has commitable offers (you can guess; e.g. elite 4 & 5 star kids) but you just never really know for sure.

Cincinnati is decent, but the Boilers shouldn't have lost that badly. They have a lot of work to do. If they play that bad next week, that may just sway him.

PU plays the "Trees" from ISU at home this weekend. He!!, even IU rang up 73 against ISU last week. I'm not sure what one could take away (as an indicator) from their game this coming weekend, regardless of the outcome.

ISU is missing Shakir Bell so the Boilers better beat them, but if they don't I thinks he's ours. Purdue's schedule only has 2 or 3 possible wins on it and that includes the trees.

Bump

Bump

i swear they didn't look like this 15 years ago...:brokenhea

Bump

What's the significance here? Did he set his profile pic to ND's locker room?

You are way over thinking it

 

[koonja]

I wouldn't put much into that being his profile pic, and that's because that's a damn sexy picture on many levels. Meaning, I don't care where where he's going, if I were him that'd be my pic everywhere I can have one.

lol. GITF, was that a dirty-old-man bump? Or is my mind in the gutter?

 

[Buster Bluth]

Best bump ever.

 

[irishog77]

I have officially changed my tune-- I'm on board with Drue at ND. Post haste.

I was actually looking at who the @ndfbrecruiting Instagram account was following (who I think is JR Sandlin btw) and thought his page was.... Interesting.

Of note though it only follows 15 people and the two newest people it started following are Josh Rosen and a Dual threat QB out of South Carolina named Kelly Bryant that we haven't heard much about.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

I need to stay away from discussions that involve pretty girls.

DOES NOT COMPUTE

Lol, that is interesting ... If I were a betting man I might wager that Josh Rosen and Kelly Bryant have really hot g/f's ... @ndfbrecruiting, we see what you are up to ...

It's definitely someone inside. I think it is Sandlin because they are always the same pictures he tweets. I really feel like he is already making an impact on our recruiting. He is becoming more active on Twitter and the letters we send to recruits have changed.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Drue is the man. Keep on keeping on playa.

 

[Kak7304]

Drue had 260 total yards on 9 touches. 5 td's

Per a text I just got from my friend who is his position coach on D.

What time do games start in Indiana? Is he texting you from the sideline while the game is going on?

 

[irishog77]

I would quote the OP with the pic of the girl from Florida...but I'm kinda scared I could get busted for kiddie porn at some point if I were to do so.

(Only half joking)

 

[BeauBenken]

They typically all start at 7. Very possible that if they whooped the other team, it was over quickly.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Member of the staff will be at his game Friday night per Wiltfong.

Well that was quick, Elston will now see him during the bye week instead.

 

[Luckylucci]

According to Wiltfong we'd be done at ILB if Tranquill jumps on board outside of major talents. Nyles Morgan not looking at ND. This is the first time I've heard Wiltfong concede that ND is out for Morgan.

Yeah, that's a big concession. He's been pretty consistent in saying that he thinks ND has a better chance at Morgan than most people think. Evidently he's seen the writing on the wall though.

And it bums me out a little. I really, really like Tranquill as a prospect, but what if it takes him a couple of years to get physically ready to play ILB? It took Councell two years to get up to the weight we want him at. I think we need at least one guy in the 2014 class who can potentially contribute at ILB right away. In 2014 are looking at Grace, Moore, Deeb, and incoming frosh, and it's beginning to look like the only incoming freshman who will have played much ILB before is Greer Martini. Unless he comes in ready to play, it's a precarious situation.

Isn't Randolph slotted for ILB too?

Any chance of Doug Randolph getting a look at ILB in the spring when he comes back from surgery?

Got ya.
