'14 FL WR Isaiah McKenzie ( Georgia ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

[CanadalovesND]

@RyanBartow: #AAVIP: 4-star ATH Isaiah McKenzie gives a leader & more scoop Latest on 4-star McKenzie @LukeStampini @TomLoy247 #NotreDame #Florida #Ole Miss

And the leader is...

 

[rocket66]

Ole Miss

 

[rtrn2glory]

who wrote the article?

wouldn't surprise me to have them as his "leader"

will just give them more hits during his visit to ND this weekend

 

[rocket66]

He says BK tried getting a commitment on the spot and told him he couldn't guarantee a spot if Nelson and Quick commited. Sounds like it didn't sit well with McKenzie. He's still coming to ND this weekend and wants to see how life is with school in session.

well that makes sense especially with the similarities between him and Nelson.

am i reading too much into the comment on Quick !!!!!!!

 

[Irish#1]

I still think he's ours. The deal will be sealed when he visits.

Yeah he basically said "Ole Miss is sticking out more", which is logical considering he's fresh off his visit there. I still think it's up in the air completely and ND has the perfect chance to blow him away this weekend. The common theme from his visit comments is wanting to see if he fits in with the players and he'll get that experience this weekend.

 

[Luckylucci]

This kid is all over the place. Not sure what to make of what I just read.

Bartow wrote article, same guy who has been all over the map on his "scoop"... some of it accurate, others just wayyyyy off.

Says Ole Miss is his leader. Like I've been saying, he's not really a Notre Dame type of kid. He's just not. Like, really on any level. I do really hope he signs here because his talent can be special, and it's possible that the staff is able to pull this off, but it's less likely than him heading elsewhere.

Also notes Muschamp coming by for an in-home... but had previously been reported that Muschamp has already made an in-home?

Here is the stangest quote, because to my knowledge I've never seen Kelly do this with anyone:

(Coach Kelly) came down and he explained if I don’t make a decision that night I wouldn’t have a scholarship. If (Charles) Nelson and Michiah Quick, if they are getting the same talk then I don’t want (Notre Dame). I know its a business decision and the coach is trying to keep his job as well, but I wanted to take my visits and weigh my options. I guess he didn’t want me with my options.

And then hes says he talked to Alford and Alford said:

Coach didn’t mean that in any mean type of way. I was like I understand. He said they really want me and I’m their number one guy. He told me that before. I’m still planning to go up there. Just because the coach told me that it doesn’t effect my decision or the way I look at them. I still think they’re a great program.

And then he talks about Virginia Tech... who just came by today and looked at his film for what it seems is the first time... that he likes them for apparently no reason besides that he watched Michael Vick? And he's never even been to Tech for a visit? And that Tech is his "dream school" and that if they offered he could/would commit.

He's an absolute headcase.

 

[irishandy]

How long is he visiting for?

 

[Luckylucci]

To be fair he also said that if VT offered he'd might visit them instead this weekend. It's his dream school. Could commit on the spot if offered by them but will announce on NSD. They came by the school and are evaluating him currently.

 

[rocket66]

I'm not sure if he's a head case or just bad at interviews. Seems like the information coming from him is always choppy. Either way, I'm trying to block it all out an imagine a return game we haven't seen in years.

 

[Luckylucci]

This isn't sour grapes but as Lax has well documented this may not be a very good match. He's all over the place and they usually doesn't work out well when enrolled at ND. Hopefully I'm wrong.

This could be as well, he doesn't do a very good job of communicating with reporters. At least from the live interviews I've seen. I'm keeping them crossed that's what it is.

So was Golden Tate. Same bravado too.

he did ok here

 

[Luckylucci]

I said usually not never

Yup. If he comes he'll probably pull a Vanderdoesn't

Well this puts a totally different light on things. Maybe he's a headcase or maybe he is just immature and can't get his hands around this entire process? Someone said a while back that maybe he just wants to tell each school what they want to hear. I'm beginning to believe that. I changed my 8 ball prediction to, "Ask me again later".

This is why kids should keep talking to the recruiting sources to a small amount.

 

[rtrn2glory]

ok....i'm just really confused right now

 

[woolybug25]

I don't remember Vanderdoes "being all over the place". Not any more than a lot of recruits. His after NSD antics were quite strange, but everything before was pretty common for recruits nowadays.

If "all over the place" is referring to being indiscisive... Then I would argue that Tuitt, Bryant and to an extent... KRuss (with his flirtation with Auburn) all seem to be doing pretty well here.

you mean folston's flirtation with Auburn i take it?

 

[zbikowski88]

ISD is saying the rumors are untrue of Kelly pushing for a commitment on the spot and he didn't like that.

 

[Ironman8]

ISD is saying the rumors are untrue of Kelly pushing for a commitment on the spot.

Is it really a rumor if it is a quote from the kid himself? Sounds more like a lie than a rumor at that point if it isn't truth.

 

[rtrn2glory]

of course it's not true....

 

[Pachuco]

ISD is saying the rumors are untrue of Kelly pushing for a commitment on the spot.

So if we give the kid the benefit of the doubt, that means reporters are lying about what he said?

 

[CanadalovesND]

ISD is saying the rumors are untrue of Kelly pushing for a commitment on the spot and he didn't like that.

Then somebody is lying.

Either McKenzie or whomever is telling that to ISD.

Well this mud puddle just got a little more murky.

 

[koonja]

So he's still visiting us this weekend, unless VT offers?

And Ole Miss seems to be the team to beat?

 

[Luckylucci]

Wow, so he could publicly be lying about some of this stuff?
