I want this kid in this class. If ND is last on his visit list I think he is Irish.

 

[PANDFAN]

looking like psu....wiltfong even put in the cb today to psu...

 

[tussin]

...so what is the deal with the weirdness of this kid's recruitment? Do any of the recruiting gurus on here have a read.

 

[BobbyMac]

Petroleum Engineering... The birthplace of the Oil Industry... Seneca Oil... Pennzoil.... Linebacker U. It always made sense.

 

[IrishLax]

PSU is the only school that wants him. No italics. So weird.

 

[Luckylucci]

So I guess I already need to change my realistic prediction, lol.

 

[PANDFAN]

where you seeing this lax....i mean i get the big dogs aren't after him which makes you wonder...but ND must have some interest if they had a teleconference w/ the fam etc

His family talked to a school member, and none of the coaches are putting on a press like they are doing with literally dozens of other players. They didn't recruit him before the season, didn't recruit him during the season, and are right now just barely recruiting him a little bit.

ND isn't interested. I mean, that should be obvious to everyone, but it's also what you hear straight from the people who work in the building. He's like the backup plan of all backup plans. And Ohio State, Michigan, and MSU don't want him. No other "big time" schools nationally want him. Just Franklin -- who only cares about recruiting rankings and has zero ability to evaluate talent -- and WVU.

It's just really weird given his rankings and his athletic traits. I don't know why you wouldn't take him over some like, say, Alloway.

 

[ryno 24]

By the way LAX, I appreciate your perspective on Alloway. We dont need him and could use a player like Ferns above him. We already have a couple players like him on the team.

Yeah, I'm in this boat as well. Thinking the staff is keeping him close enough just in case other chips don't fall into place.

IMO is a smart approach with an in between recruit following an at minimum 10 win season...just as long as we for once field a full roster.

 

[rtrn2glory]

Yea this is kind of a weird recruitment for such a highly touted recruit

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

Weirdest recruitment ever. It'll be fun to see if he pans out or flames out and then point fingers at the wrong party.

If he is playing at PSU it'll be hard for him to stick out at anything. Nobody cares...

 

[dublinirish]

kid's recruitment is like that mitchell kid from texas that signed with OSU and then transferred home to Texas Tech. Highly regarded by recruiting folks but not so much by coaches

This is definitely an odd one, and you just know there's a juicy story here somewhere lol

 

[GBdomer]

Mike Frank believes ND here while the rest of the staff pick West Virginia. As a certain mod stated it seems like he wants ND more then ND wants him.

GB- ND

 

[NDVirginia19]

So is Ferns a take? Gotta think that we definitely take McCulloch and Kelly over him, but do we take Ferns over Jones?

 

[arrowryan]

How I would rank the linebackers in terms of how bad I want them on the team

1a. Davis
1b. McCulloch
1c. Kelly
4. Jones
5. Ferns

 

[dwshade]

Davis will be Bama or Georgia.

 

[ThePiombino]

Pretty sure Ferns recently eliminated ND, so it's a moot point.

 

[Big23Head]

He did eliminate ND per a couple scources

 

[Luckylucci]

He's not taking the OV anymore.

 

[anarin]

WVU

 

[NDVirginia19]

Such a mysterious recruitment... Never understood how somebody so highly ranked could be so not sought after in recruitment
