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

[Cackalacky]

???

It's not a popular opinion but it's mine and I keep it. No biggie.

 

[IrishSpartan]

Haven't checked in lately what is the latest?

IM not coming to ND.

That's all.

 

[Kaneyoufeelit]

IM not coming to ND.

That's all.

Unless he gets on a plane tomorrow, at which point he will be coming. Maybe

 

[greyhammer90]

Greyhammer,

Side note - we should have a 'vbuck' thread to keep track of the bets made.

Oh the irony

 

[Bubbles]

This one has had #cutbait all over it for the last few weeks.....meh. Wish him well and all that.

 

[connect the dots]

Very interesting tidbit from Pete Sampson is that he is hearing that the HC at American Heritage is upset and frustrated with Isaiah over how this whole situation played out, not ND.

That is huge, as it is imperative to keep a good relationship with that school, staff and prospects moving forward. Also pretty telling as to who is perceived as 'in the wrong' here.

Loved Pete's earlier quote: That recruiting should be a means to an ultimate desired end, and that IM has seemingly put the means and process over the result. Shame.

American Heritage(Plantation) Coach Mike Rumph played defensive back on the 2001 Miami Hurricane Championship team. First round draft pick of the 49ers. Played his high school ball and ran track at Heritage Delray Beach. Won't be long before he'll be coaching in college.

Wow really?? What a guy to have as your coach. Rumph was a great player, obviously.

It is what it is, we were all young and dumb at one point but good god, this kid is all over the place. Eventually ND had to put its foot down, and I can respect the fact that in no way is this one on ND. Alford worked his magic and it didn't work out this time, so be it.

My personel opinion is that the kid got nervous about the academics side yesterday and completely talked himself out of the opportunity

 

[koonja]

It is what it is. It's his dream school, so whatever.

But I hope his visit sucks and the girls all smell like venison.

 

[rikkitikki08]

Someone needs to tell this kid that every time he changes his mind a baby elephant dies. Its science

 

[Huntr]

Welp, that's the name of that tune. Onward and upward.

They actually smell like turkeys and drunk hillbillies.

Surisly

Here is the classiest and clearest statement I have seen written, it of course is from Keith Arnold :

How badly the Irish will miss McKenzie remains to be seen. His highlight video and improbable story had him a favorite of many Irish fans. But he was always a high-risk target. Student-athletes with this profile have failed quite a bit lately, and if there’s any frustration in all of this for the Irish coaching staff, it’s that they’ve spent months putting their neck on the line for a kid that now looks to be walking away from that loyalty.

All is fair in recruiting and football though, and McKenzie’s departure is better now than after a few months in South Bend. While his playmaking skills at the Under Armour All-American game helped boost his final ranking, we’ll have to wait and see if the Irish missed out on the next great big play threat.

My apologies if this was already quoted.

 

[Irish#1]

Yeah. There was a report that IM and Florida had a "mutual parting."

Sounds like they might have tired of his drama as well.

ugh.....let it go trolls.....leave the kid alone.

 

[ACamp1900]

LOL

 

[clashmore_mike]

while I do agree, I did get a small chuckle out of IM favoriting the tweet and saying thanks.

I'm not saying he isn't feeding them, or doesn't deserve it, I just don't like what it says about us as a fanbase. It's just not that hard to be the 'bigger man' when he's your opposition....right?

“@CoachTonyAlford: They say "Good things come to those who wait". While this may be true, I also believe that "Great things come to those who GO GET IT!"”

Oh shit

Oh shit

But what does it all mean?

Oh wow! I am behind.

“@CoachTonyAlford: They say "Good things come to those who wait". While this may be true, I also believe that "Great things come to those who GO GET IT!"”

Oh shit

Wow. I interpret that as him trying to make one last motivational push at IM.

 

[greyhammer90]

Maybe someone who speaks twitter can tell me what that means and who it was sent to.

Alford tweeted the comment above. He didn't say it to anyone directly, but considering who he met last, one could assume.

He should have put an emogie of a plane on the end. lol

It is what it is.
