[Luckylucci]

Just logged on and had to read some of these posts a couple of times. Not much more to say that u guys haven't said already, glorious. I would have loved to play OSU last year, there defense was garbage.

We offered via a PM? WTF? You'd think the staff would have the courtesy of sending a personal letter, making a phone call or seeing him in person. Via PM? SMH.

This pisses me off more than any of you can even comprehend. Just ****ing ridiculous you couldn't come around faster on a guy who was ALREADY COMMITTED TO ND.

Now it is almost surely too late to get back in the race.

So... His reaction anyone?

No access but using psychic powers I'm going to guess it's "I'm fully committed to Ohio State" with a subtext "should've shown me interest when I was already committed to your school"

Hope I'm wrong and it's "yes, I'll happily come dominate at two sports"

It's way too late and he's "100% committed to OSU"

**** THIS SHITS

Another great job by Diaco identifying and landing LB prospects. How can you not do a better job of pouncing on a player already committed to your school?

Without having to reread through the thread:

(1) Is he playing both at Ohio State?

(2) Would ND not offering for football earlier have something to do with not stepping on the lacrosse program's toes?

 

[gkIrish]

Well this is ****ing stupid

Yes, those were the words used.

I'm not sure.

No. Just an example of Helen Keller-esque recruiting by the staff.

 

[koonja]

Good for him. Staff can't blame anyone but themselves.

 

[Bluto]

Don't we have four or five guys with that same basic profile already committed that don't want to play lacrosse?

I think Hubbard is a better prospect. Plus he's from Cincinnati.

Not just Cincy, but a Cincy Catholic school!

Salient point.

I guess in terms of DI prospects, it is basically a given, at least regarding ND recruiting.

Elder's not a Catholic school

 

[Bluto]

I lived in Ohio as a kid. Only cool thing's about that whole place were Daffy Dan's and the Thundering Buzzard.

Anyhow, is he going to only play football now? Seems pretty clear the staff is beginning to evaluate senior film of dudes who might have been borderline at beginning of the season. Why is he a better prospect than dudes we have on board?

Okay, Cincy "parochial" schools then haha.

Without having to reread through the thread:

No. Just football. And he's fine with that.

(2) Would ND not offering for football earlier have something to do with not stepping on the lacrosse program's toes?

No. Kelly couldn't care less about the feelings of lacrosse coaches. He didn't get offered because the staff was extremely "lackadaisical" in even reviewing his film and showing interest, largely because it seemed at the time that they figured they could land better prospects.

What dudes that we have on board even resemble his athletic profile? I don't see a single one right now. Luatua will be close if/when he signs up, but will get his first shot on the offensive side of the ball.
