Well, at least for Notre Dame that is. GG, I hope you don’t mind, but since this is rather big news, losing any chance of nabbing one of the top recruits in the country, I am posting this as a separate thread, sort of an anti-commit thread. We will have to come up with an anti-Numa Numa for this.

Anyway, Hill has cut his list down to 9 schools and the Irish did not make the cut. Here is the final 9, with quite a few surprises:

Florida
Southern Cal
Michigan
Virginia
Maryland
Rutgers
Penn State
Florida State
Miami

Virginia, Maryland, Penn State, and Miami are not even currently listed as college choices in Hill’s Rivals profile. Three schools that are did not make his final 9, ND, Oklahoma, and Pitt. Now that ND is out of the picture, it would be nice to see Rutgers win this battle, but being the “warm-weather guy” that Will is, Rutgers is probably on this list just to appease the home state fans. Fortunately, the warm weather factor should also eliminate scUM. The 3 Florida schools & USC are probably the only real contenders here, with the final elimination round most likely between the Poodle & the Cockwad.

Three notes of interest on this news.

1) Polish Leppy, your buddy from St. Peter’s was either getting bad info, or just pulling your leg. This does not automatically eliminate you as son-in-law material, but you are on double secret probation until further notice.:)
2) I guess some Jersey guys only stick with other Jersey guys if the other Jersey guys coach in winter warm weather states.
3) Kudos to the Thrill for not stringing ND along like so many other recruits are prone to do. At least now the staff knows that the Irish are not in contention for Hill way ahead of time, so there is no need to hold a just-in-case schollie for him. This is especially critical this year with the limited number of ND schollies still available. So thanks for that Will, good luck, and see ya.


Go RU, get that Thrill, keep him away from the penis head and the pill.

That's a shame! While I never thought we had any real chance, I was hoping CW/CB could work some magic over the next few months. Oh well, good luck to him ... whoever lands him is getting an amazing athlete.

This isn't a huge suprise and don't count out UM because it's cold weather, if he likes his unofficial there it won't matter. He hasn't preached "I NEED WARM WEATHER" quite like Alexander. He grew up watching UM and UF mostly and also plays with them in NCAA football. RU fans rode him off in the beginning, but he is always around and on the campus so there is hope for RU. I think they would HAVE to win the Big East at least to get his services which is a very strong possibility. In the end I see him leaving state and it's too early to name favorites because he's definently taking his time on this one.

1) This surprises me more than it does most of you guys, I know. Didn't mean to get anyone's hopes up here. Just relaying info from my source at St. Peter's. Maybe Will was just saying ND so my friend would leave him alone.

2) This is still garbage. He won't visit ND, doesn't want cold weather, but still has UM, MD, UVA, and Penn State? Come on...

3) I am predicting a Florida- USC battle till NSD.

Oh well...I wish the kid the best of luck if/until he plays us. Sorry guys

Oh well. I'm sure Charlie and Corwin probably knew where the Irish stood with Hill for a while. They just need to go out and get the other guys on their list. Our Irish will be just fine. Go Irish!

Maybe Chase Clement or the DE from Georgia who is coming up to earn an offer at camp, but has offers from everybody already.

Wasn't the Hunter verbal enough fun for one week? We must be crazy if we need new offers to keep us going. Personally, I'd be thrilled if we didn't get another offer extended. Unless a kid blows up during his senior year, new offers are a bad sign - that we missed on one of our premiere targets.

I know what you're saying though. Not trying to rip on you or anything like it. We're fans, with an insatiable appetite for news. Just seems funny to have negative thoughts so soon after hearing tremendously positive news with Omar.

GD3- You got that half of it was in jest, in reality, all of it was in jest. Except for one of those guys, ND did not have a real prayer anyway, so there were no negative thoughts intended. I am as positive as anyone can be about this class thus far. I think it is a great one already with some very underrated talents, and it's only going to get better in the next few weeks and months. Even if CW failed to nab another recruit, this class is already far superior to anything out of the Ty/Davie era.

So, to be clear, I was not being negative, in fact, I am counting my blessings that my favorite college has been so incredibly succesful this year in recruiting elite athletes to my favorite campus.

P.S.- hint, anytime you see me using words like kerplunk and kazoom, be assured that what I am saying is in jest.

Gotcha. Sometimes dramatic words like "kerplunk" and "kazoom" can be signs of a guy who is going off the deep end too. Glad to hear its all in jest though.

Sorry for the 2nd post in a row, but where did you get that list from? I posted it on DD, and kinda got shot down immediately.

GD3- Not trying to be a horses ass, well maybe I am, but it is Friday afternoon of a pretty long week for me, so you will excuse me if I say, if they can't read, is it my fault?

No... never mind. I think we're just confused and cranky - no need to make ill feelings of it. I was asking if you got that list directly from Will Hill, and if not from what publication... but its not really that important. I'll drop it if you will.

GD3- no ill will at all, at least not from me to you. My response was because I read the horsesass response to your posting of Hill's list on DD. I was glad someone sensible posted something right after his idiotic post. Anyway, read my PM.

Oh and just to defend the honor of Irish Envy have NDCincy or whatever his name is read my post about Omar Hunter in the "ND Status on the 40 Uncommitted" before saying that everyone over here had Hunter written off. That comment is what really pissed me off, as if he or anyone else knew for sure before Monday morning that Hunter was going to select ND.

----------IUB you are now to me at least known as "The Don of Irish Envy" so don't be confused when I refer to you as Don Irish or just Don.

File this under the "you can't lose something you never had" folder.

I'll take Big Hafis and Arty Forst before Beal and Hill running away. Can't get all the Jersey kids I guess.

Great way to end a day. Guess who for else, the Thrill is Gone.

Hill has cut his list from 9 to 8, and the loser is scUM.:mob:


Chaos still reigns in Skunkbear land, although they did not have a prayer here either, unless SLH's dire warnings of Global Warming hit before NSD.

Now we just have to hope he knocks USC off that list and the Hill recruitment can be complete.
