I really want to know what happened. For him to straight up not even consider us anymore rubs me the wrong way.

It's called negative recruiting by Oregon and Justin Hopkins.

This. Some of the stuff he was told is unreal. But, you know per the uber-truthful Oregon recruiting ace Justin Hopkins, Oregon didn't even talk about other schools *eye roll*

It is unfortunate that Barnett is de-committing from ND and opening up his recruitment process. A lot to do with Oregon and what they had to offer. But I wonder if there was something going on with ND's coaching staff and Barnett. I can understand why a 17-18 year old kid would want to open it up and seriously consider some other schools. However, I find it awfully weird why a player that was solidly committed to a program would make a complete change AND also not even consider ND in the future.

Either ways, I was excited for a couple of months, especially after Barnett's performance at camps. Unfortunately, it was not meant to be.

I can understand him being TOLD a steaming pile of bullshit, but to believe it? Especially talking about career services and academic majors. That's like someone going to Alabama for academic rigor and the vibrant ethnic cultural scene.

This doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. A week ago he was recruiting for ND. Something major we don't know about had to have happened.

When a recruit goes from "all in" to "not considering school X" in a few days, something big has to happen. That something big was Hopkins pushing an agenda.

ND seems to take it up the ass in recruiting by playing nice. Sometimes I wish we had a Tosh or Orgeron to fight fire with fire.

I guess we will find out the story in a couple of years when they are hit with recruiting violations again.

So could this help us with Eason? If we grab a lower profile 2015 QB, could he think he has a better chance to start? Honestly, sucks to lose Barnett but if we can land a HUGE qb for 2016, the hurt won't be as bad. Thoughts?

I hate losing ya Blake and I won't say I hope you bust but I do hope you amount to no more than a 8 win QB and a 5th - 7th round pick while ND puts a QB in the draft higher than you...yup... that should be okay!

So many of these kids put trust in "mentors"... is what it is.

He might come back around. He's got his head so far in the clouds after doing amazing at that last camp. Everyone is talking about him, blah blah blah. Once this quiets down, if it's not academic related, he may come back to his senses. Either way, good luck to him. He probably wouldn't see the field for three years anyways which could very likely be the reason he de-committed. But who knows.

I hate to even say that but everyone knows the shit talking everyone is doing against ND. Sick of losing big time recruits. Better now than signing day but it's time to get down and dirty.
