'14 AL RB Bo Scarbrough (Alabama Verbal)

[Cackalacky]

I'm assuming its the more we win, the more Kelly gets his way because nobody wants to see what happens if we were to start going 6-6 again.

Yes.

Also, did anyone hear about how his OV to UCLA went?

 

[GreenSox04]

Bo's that play running back from AL can play as many ways/sports as they desire.

 

[ulukinatme]

man it sucks when you're in the dark when someone sees the light!!!! i know you can't explain...

I want to follow the light. What god do I need to worship to find the way?

 

[connor_in]

That can only mean one thing. Get your protractor and compasses out.

Awwww...that was acute pun!

{Everything I know about humor I learned from the Muppets!}

Obviously true for the long-term. But I don't see how winning 2-3 more games this year makes things move that quickly for a 2014 prospect.

Bingo. Better record and no problems = better relationship with admissions. You keep these kids eligible and win games, then BK gets more trust. Right now, he wins out thats damn good for all thats taken place since the Bama game.

Are you saying this affirmatively? Or are you just speculating?

 

[greyhammer90]

That makes no sense to me at all. If BK was losing would be of a reason to relax things in my mind. But whatever, I never understand admissions office reasoning

 

[Luckylucci]

Yes.

I have not but from the sounds of it he loved it and left them thinking there's a chance. I'll look for something and post later unless somebody beats me too it.

 

[Domina Nostra]

If we don't have much of a chance, we should just go all in on his being a LB. Tell him about how we said the same thing to Anthony Barr, but he thought he was going to be a RB too.

 

[GATTACA!]

But in Bo's case wouldn't admissions have already had to make a decision one way or the other? I'm sure winning out can't hurt, but what if Bo committed to ND tomorrow?

i am guessing the current roster has more questions on it from an admissions standpoint than they have had in the past. Kelly keeps them eligible and shows that it truly does = winning then admissions sees they can trust in his process getting more kids in.

not that theyshould get more strict when we los but nothing to build proof with 6,7 losses

So the 'interesting angle' is that BO (and others) are more likely to get accepted to ND?

Or what is the interesting new angle that ND now has in its hand?

Tradition

 

[T Town Tommy]

Bo will be back in town this weekend for the LSU game. He has made a few stops in T Town recently to check in with the staff. Until I read something different, Bo comes home.

 

[Me2SouthBend]

I don't follow either. How does winning help us in the short-term with a specific recruit's ability to be admitted?

He never said it helped short term.

 

[gkIrish]

He never said it helped short term.

We are talking about Bo's recruitment. Isn't that the short term?

 

[Rack Em]

We are talking about Bo's recruitment. Isn't that the short term?

We should really be talking about the number of hats I'll eat if Bo comes here.

New angle is totally different.

 

[Irish Man3]

New angle is totally different.

I think the new angle is life after football. He injured his knee again recently. Maybe he's looking at life outside of football because of his injuries.

 

[dwshade]

I don't see any new "angle" flipping Bo from Bama or UF. Longshot.

 

[GreenSox04]

The angle from south bend to FLA is definitely different then south bend to Alabama.


Seriously though, ILB? Doesn't he prefer RB? Or does getting on the filed ASAP wherever trump all?

Maybe a two way player?

Whatever the case, good, let's go down swinging.

what is he doing up in Green Bay?

 

[T Town Tommy]

what is he doing up in Green Bay?

Said he was checking out the "cold" climate. Didn't like it too well.

 

[koonja]

New angle is totally different.

Can you share what this 'new angle' is?

I can't imagine Notre Dame's recruiting tactics need to be kept secret, unless it's shady business and I don't think BK is going to go there.

Isn't it time for you to go home?

 

[T Town Tommy]

Isn't it time for you to go home?

Waiting on Bo to get his bags packed. He packs like a girl....

 

[Kaneyoufeelit]

Is Saban's ramblin' nature the possible new angle the Irish are using with Bo

You may be on to something there...

He already did. To sum it up if Kelly can keep the knuckle heads in line (ie not knocking people up, smoking weed on campus and cheating on tests) while still winning, admissions might give more of the knuckle head prone kids Kelly wants a chance. I feel like Nancy Drew.
