Supposedly according to Matt we pushed him to commit because of scholarship numbers and he said no thank you so we parted ways. He told BGI that we'll have to move to a 4 man front now because of this, haha.

Haha. I wonder if we told him that. We really really need you, we can't execute our 3-4 base without you, etc. etc.

Good riddance.

Time to unsubscribe this little turd.

I'm sure we did and he extrapolated that into we'll have to stop running a 3-4. I still think that we take a NT.

Not to toot TP's horn too much, but months ago (around when McKenzie "committed") he said straight up that Elam had worse academics than McKenzie and that there could be major hurdles. Seems like that was an astute assessment.

Good thing he relayed the message to @JR_Sandlin.

The staff clearly thinks Matt Dickerson can play the role as well.

Irishnuke · Dec 19, 2013

This guy looks well over 400 pounds. I doubt there's any way he would have been in shape to play next year. Add that to his attitude and academics and we may have dodged a bullet.

koonja · Dec 19, 2013

I'm not sold on jarron jones, but remember we have him for 3 more years.

STLDomer · Dec 19, 2013

Wow I know some have had concerns for a while but seems like a lot more posters not high on him now that he eliminated us.

Calabrese's People · Dec 19, 2013

He's going to pick Kentucky. Then he's going to crow about how he turned down the 'biggest' programs in the country to play for UK. I'm surer of it now than i ever was.

These same people have practically been felatioing him on twitter while we were still in it.

peoriairish · Dec 19, 2013

Ugh. Thank God I can stop following him on Twitter. He was the worst. Sucks we didn't get him, but we'll be okay with Manti's fake girlfriends.

dublinirish · Dec 20, 2013

Kentucky fans are felicitating Matt on twitter? Congratulations, I think we get your drift!

We pulled out of the race, but he also was never coming here.

Edit: pulled out and coming in the same sentence, I'm so fcking funny

And possibly a daddy, too!

Some people will get the connection MAC + DADDY.

And that young man, is the way it is done.

Hahaha. You are a smart internet person. I meant to type that word but I like what you did there. I learned a new word. :thumbsup:

Seriously #BBN on twitter has been basically begging him not to go anywhere else. Guy is eating it up.

T Town Tommy · Dec 20, 2013

Personally, the junior ILB from Warren Central out of Bowling Green, Ky (E. Smith) is who Notre Dame should be getting to know. I would take him over Elam any day.

Wingman Ray · Dec 20, 2013

From what I have seen, it doesnt appear like this guy is realistically ready to play. At 400 lbs, he seems a lot more goo and less muscle than what is required to take on two seasoned OLmen at one time. Alabama will have his lunch and he will sit for at least two years getting in play shape if he goes there. As for KY, he could start day one with their talent pool but still will get crushed by SEC OLmen.

Seems quite a bit entitled from what he has posted in the past. ND isnt for everyone. I would question KY HS academics as well to prepare him for ND. Maybe I am wrong but I would see him as a long term project that likely would not have lasted long enough to develop at ND.

This guy is going to KY. Or at least will wind up there after Bama chews him up and crushes his ego.

Jarron has shown significant improvement from last year. Very encouraging if you ask me.

GATTACA! · Dec 20, 2013

I wrote a script and gave it to a guy that reads scripts. And he read it and said he really likes it, but he thinks I need to rewrite it. I said, "Fuck that, I'll just make a copy."

^ better use of this thread now.

Agreed. He retweeted anything and everything that mentioned his name. I've never seen a kid enjoy the recruiting attention as much as him. He's a rough prospect but he does have a high ceiling. Wish him the best.

My thoughts exactly. Wish the young man well, but honestly feel Notre Dame isn't the place for him.

I love the rationalizing that happens here after we lose a recruit

Pre-dropping ND: "Future All-Pro. Incredible talent."

Post-dropping ND: "He'd be lucky to make a D-III practice squad."
