I don't get the comparison, Terrell Suggs isn't fat

I won't lie, it does amuse me that the "he gained bad weight" thing keeps coming up as if it lessens the blow...
If he would've remained an ND "lock" and picked the good guys, we'd all be talking about how it's no issue, that Longo would have him in shape in a year, and that other schools were dumb for backing off.

I can only speak for myself but I've been saying this for a long time. I have defended my view on here at length about him being overrated and not being the player that everybody thought he was. Also, everywhere that I look the staff really wasn't recruiting him towards the end of this. Lax has some good connections, TJ spelled it out for us the other day, and no mention from anybody (Loy, Wiltfong, Sampson, etc.) of communication between staff and player. Its not softening the blow, its they just don't think he's as good as other options. You don't see anybody saying anything bad about Hilliard.

Right. All I'm saying is that if the staff was still pushing for him/landed him, despite his "bad weight," no one would have said a thing about him being "fat." Everyone would be all about the weight he's going to lose in a college conditioning program and how it's not a big deal.
But since he's not coming to ND? No one mentions that he's probably going to get in shape at OSU and be a force.

Now that is one great shot at Urbie.

Agree. None of us really know what was going on behind the scenes, but if the staff cooled on him, they had a good reason and that's enough for me.

I think that would be more because most Irish fans do not bad mouth their players and they trust the staff. Some would have still mentioned it, the ones who are not thrilled with some of the 3 star guys we have gotten lately. But the majority would have said the staff will get him in shape. I'm sure Urbie's staff will too but at his current shape it's hard for fans to get too upset about losing a guy the staff had cooled on anyway and when we know we still have some better prospects in the mix.

wait a second....I thought that was Greg Mattison's famous recruiting pitch. How did Urban get in on that one?

I know he ended up a big disappointment with how he handled his recruitment but I hope he gets in shape and takes advantage of his natural athleticism. Would be a damn shame to waste all that potential.
If he keeps this up Urban is going to let him go on signing day. Just string him along so as not to rock the boat with Hilliard.

It's not really a surprise that everyone pulled their offers... it's just more of a surprise that OSU still went all out for him. I'm guessing it was to get to Hilliard.
Right now he's a 3
DT. He has the physical gifts to be a 4 DL if he puts it all together. He's nowhere close to the initial 5 ranking he was given on upside as an underclassmen... going to be interesting watching the rankings adjust on guys like him and Town.

Totally agree Ms. Hickey and I expect the next re-rating will start to reflect this. I don't expect it to be too drastic at first but if things don't change it may end up being just that. For example, ESPN still has him at #16. That's absurd!

Don't lose any sleep over it. The proof is on the field.
