'15 NJ QB Brandon Wimbush (Notre Dame Signed NLI)

[CanadalovesND]

That was not really the question. It was stated that we almost always win out with recruits against psu. It just was not an accurate statement.

My provided examples were following that statement. Committed or considered leans.

Sorry, I should have been more direct about it with my OP.

I think some might have considered Shrive a lean but of my exampleshe is probably the only one.

The thoughts around the Scranton area were that he was all Irish. So glad we didn't land him.

We have lost plenty of recruiting battles with them as well

I am sure you are right ... But the only one I can think of where it was a true battle, i.e. the recruit truly could have gone either way at one point, was adam breneman.

Sorry but I hate when people say that in regards to coaches. I disagree with that.

I agree with you regarding coaches. But I was simply pointing out Franklin's hypocrisy in calling out someone else for reneging on a commitment.

Not necessarily disagreeing, but I am curious why you think coaches should get a pass on this? I understand that sometimes the universities involved prefer to disseminate that info but that fact, doesn't make it any less of a lie if the coach tells his team the opposite of what he knows to be true. There is the option of simply refusing to discuss that topic with your players.

I question any coach, if franklin actually did that, that takes to social media (or any route) to complain about a 17 year old's possible college selection like that.

doesn't have the chest.

Adam Breneman is all i can think of

Kevin Sumlin just said players shouldn't come to A&M if "they are scared" to the national media right after Demarcus Lodge decommitted.

So, GB, is rivals really showing up at his school today? If true I am going to be anxious all day. He has become my number one want in the class as soon as the news broke that he was going to visit. I also think that if he flips, things are going to get very interesting and very fun to be an Irish fan!

I just don't think you should be comparing the lives of a head coach to a 17 year old recruit. Both are doing what they feel is best for themselves. A coach for example, is trying to put himself in the best possible situation for him and his family. Whether it be for more money, higher profile, better location, better situation, etc.

People move around the job world all the time when something better opens up. A coach is allowed to do that as well. Most have stipulations in their contract you don't hear about that forces them to pay back some amount of money to the school.

A kid is in a different situation. Now, I do believe it should be easier for kids to transfer schools. I don't think its fair to hold them out for a year and if a coach that recruited them leaves, then I think they should be allowed to leave as well for a better situation.

Comparing head coaches to recruits is apples to oranges to me.

Not GB but an II member. Yes the plan is for rivals to have somebody at St. Peters Prep today to get the scoop. M. Farrell posted a little bit ago that he was in contact with him last night around 10pm and he said that he and his family were discussing a "football and life" decision. Keep in mind that he is saying that he wants to keep things quiet for a bit so not sure how much rivals with get today or not.

Thanks brotha! I don't want to get crazy about this, but you know as well as I how huge this would be for us. Will be patient and I really appreciate the scoop!

Get crazy, he here. Everything out there reads like a no brainer for this kid. Will bet 100,000,000 he ends up Irish.

Per M. Farrell who spoke with St. Peter Prep's coach neither Brandon or Minkah will be conducting interviews today about their OV's over the weekend. So just a heads up that at least rivals won't have anything coming out like previously thought.

Where did Minkah OV to?

 

[BleedBlueGold]

I found it odd that Rivals would send someone out there anyways given Wimbush said he needed some quiet time to reflect. Geez, respect the kid's wishes and give him some space.

 

[Cpnd1]

Where did Minkah OV to?

FSU

 

[yankeeND]

Where did Minkah OV to?

I believe he was at FSU this weekend.

 

[Luckylucci]

I believe he was at FSU this weekend.

Correct. And it sounded like an OV from Minkah could still be in the works. I wouldn't get your hopes up there but something to follow.

If Wimbush is all in, then we get an OV from Minkah, I'll be like

Seems like it's almost time for...

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

I'd love to get a Wimbush commit today to kick start some other skill players, cough, Soso, cough.

Here you go fellas.
