Do you have something tangible to back this up? If not, there probably is no need to shoot anything down in the first place.

Tangible? No. 14 year old little brother of an Illini poster who recognized him at an airport in the ATL? Yes. (HT: el senor->DD)

Tangible-Benn, on tapen watching Claussen at 7 on 7 in California. Not Tangible-a 14 year old in an airport. If it happened, it may have been as simple as, here kid, here's an autograph, now get lost.

So some 14 year old kid can pick out Benn and Ballew in the very crowded Atlanta International Airport? I'm impressed. Oh yeah, and I'm calling bullshit.

 

[jiggafini19]

This is absolutely nuts. Find me some kind of tangible information I can sink my teeth into. This is completely insane.

He's going to VISIT Illinois and has them as one of his favorites. That's all.

All I'm saying is I've been to the ATL airport on numerous occasions as that is the hub before you fly West and I have a hard enough time picking out my wife in the crowd, let alone attempting to recognize some high school athlete.

 

[jiggafini19]

Busiest airport in the world....for now.

O'Hare International is creeping back up there again.

We stopped over in ATL on our way to Disneyland when I was a kid and again on our way down to Central Florida in college. A total zoo.

Well, according to "El Senor" from the DD, he was not "picked' out as ya'll been saying. Benn saw El Senor's brother wearing an orange Ill. shirt and sparked up the conversation about how he was going to play for Zook. All I know is, El Senor is normally a good source. Now his brother, I don't know? Just trying to figure out why we're going after more receivers now if Benn is in the fold? -Don

Yep, I always go up to everyone I see wearing a Notre Dame shirt and tell them something that privy, too.

 

[sblxdoc]

gimme a break. do you really think Benn is going to hold a conversation with a 14 yr old? I seriously doubt it.

It's not El Senor's brother actually. It is a poster on the Illini board's brother. El Senor was just reporting what he read on the board.

I think we all can agree that this is very likely a big load of BS.

But as far as your question about why is CW going after more receivers? Good question. I think it's maybe something to do with DJ Hord's injury???

Marvin Austin was wearing last year's "shirt' at the Blue and Gold Game. Doesn't really tickle us much these days does it?

I hope he spills BBQ sauce on that shirt.

Posting on this subject is a waste of time. Yet, here I am.

I heard from my aunts cousin's brother in law who is dating this newpaper printer who told this girl that i used to date that saw my mom on an airplane that Benn is going to play on the moon! now that is credible.

He sure looked good in that Mustard Yellow, I tell ya.

He had me fooled.

First of all - needed time to translate this (god I am getting old!!!) Second of all - So Benn just saw some guy in a shirt and went up to tell him all of the information that the major recruiting sites, every team after him, and every one he knows WANTS TO KNOW? Please tell me this guy did not get money from "EL SENOR" because I think he was had!

 

[donjuan]

My mistake. The source is a 14 year old pathological liar, who's been known to tell a yarn or two about his orange team. I still am confused about the recruitment of other receivers though. I do find peace at night knowing our captain is at the helm. Sometimes I feel as though we are all to close-minded on anything negative here. I understand what a stupid scenario this is with Benn walking up to some random kid wearing a Zook shirt in a busy hub, but it also kind of sounds to rediculous not to be true. Remember Tyler? I am 70% Irish. Well, we kept hearing that he changed his mind and nobody really paid attention to it. All we kept hearing was "70% Irish". Hey, I'm guilty too! That's why I even gave this rumor a second thought. Personally, I feel that anyone catching balls on ND's side is going to be Made into a star. I don't care if they were a 2 star, they're coming out a five! That's what CW does! He raises the bar for everyone and in return extracts all their potential. Look at his bio. He's done it everywhere he's gone. So if it's Benn, or Smith, or Kamara, or some white guy he saw playing catch in white field, they're going to be "coached" up. -Don

Wasn't that what Dan Rather said to his employers trying to justify his last great "scoop" when they asked him, "What were you thinking?"

Well, I think Charlie knows what has buttered his bread thus far and with his prolific offense, he will continue to stockpile offensive weapons. If he feels like we need to take 3/4 wideouts, so be it.

Don't forget, with the way we're missing on some of these backs, Greg Little is primarily a RB in high school. He could be a very flexible piece and not solely a WR.
