'08 MN WR Michael Floyd (Signed LOI to ND)

Not sure what your point is, considering you are from Akron...

A bucknut calling out an Irishfan on IE ??? Dude, get with the program.

 

[ant80]

Akron is not much better. Its a little more classy though

I can see that. But you have to consider that Columbus is a larger city. In any larger city, you are always going to have poorer neighborhoods. If you go to Clintonville, Dublin or Gahana, you will see the richer neighborhoods near Columbus.

Keepin' it remotely in the ballpark of Floyd or recruiting would be nice. Thanks.

Michael made it to ND's camp this week and reportedly has been having a very good time hanging out with Ethan Johnson, and several other ND palyers. He should be on campus through Wed.

Cretin-Derham Hall (Minn.) receiver Michael Floyd was at Notre Dame as part of a summer unofficial visits tour with his mother. When he stepped into the Irish's football stadium, he encountered some Notre Dame alumni who had paid about $3,000 to have a wedding picture taken there. The wedding party noticed Floyd and began cheering and clapping, and pleading with him to play for Notre Dame.

Floyd's making his rounds, allegedly he has spent a good amount of time with Clausen at camp.

I always hear Clausen trying to talk to recruits. Makes me like him that much more.

In this case, can you blame him? The way he becomes a best if he's throwing to the best -- help us out a little Jimmy, and you'll be helping yourself.

Article lead in on B&G says that Floyd enjoyed his visit, but is not yet ready to commit.

Highlight vids look nice.

I was wondering if anyone knew his ESPN rating and ranking. I know there is an old post somewhere that has the ESPN150 list and all the ratings, but I can't find it and it's probably outdated by now. I wondering if it is possible to re-post the list, now that we have 17 going on 20 committments. Also, any idea on when Lemmings list comes out, or has it?

Espn ranking is an 88. 8th player overall

 

[KamaraPolice]

Wow, that is impressive.

 

[mlcspinner]

I think he would be the crown jewel in this class IMHO

---After his recent unofficial Midwest recruiting trip, Notre Dame and Ohio State have pulled ahead, with the Minnesota still in contention, for Cretin-Derham Hall wide receiver Michael Floyd, the state's most sought-after prospect.---

-----I think that means ND is way ahead of everybody. OSU can dream can't they?

 

[mlcspinner]

I wish Floyd would just pull the trigger and say ND!!!!!!!!

 

[benneboy]

I may have misunderstood GoshenGipper, but it I think he mentioned Wed. as being a big day with Floyd. Is there any reason for this? Or was he talking about last Wednesday which was the last day Floyd was in South Bend?

 

[marv81s]

i believe, without looking back, Goshen said within the month.

Patience fellow Golden Domers, patience

 

[stonebreakerwasgod]

I think we're gonna have a great July. Patience is indeed a virtue.

It wasn't me that said Wed. was going to be a big day. I've heard it sould be official in about a month or so.

 

[stonebreakerwasgod]

Goshen.....Ya need one more quote in your signature.

 

[benneboy]

It wasn't me that said Wed. was going to be a big day. I've heard it sould be official in about a month or so.

[Irishknight1023]

Is Floyd home now and done with his tour of visits?

 

[Fishin'_Irish]

I figured I'd bring it back up if we were to hold this bet thing.

Gophers fall on Floyd's list after unofficial visit
BY RAY RICHARDSON
Pioneer Press
Article Last Updated: 07/11/2007 06:12:01 PM CDT

Cretin-Derham Hall wide receiver Michael Floyd, considered the state's best high school recruit, said the University of Minnesota has "dropped a notch" on his list after a disappointing unofficial visit to the campus last month.

Expressing concern about the "atmosphere" and about the talent level of the defensive backs who would challenge him in practice at Minnesota, Floyd told the Pioneer Press today that his top four choices are Florida, Michigan, Notre Dame and Ohio State.

Minnesota, he said, is in the second tier with Iowa and Wisconsin.

Floyd, who also took unofficial visits last month to Wisconsin, Michigan, Notre Dame and Ohio State, said, "It was just so different when I went to those places. It wasn't what I expected at the U. I didn't like some of the people I met. Some people said they really wanted me to come. Other people I met just seem to be saying it."

As for the defensive backs, Floyd said, "I'm looking for more competition, people that can make me better. I want to go up against better DBs in practice everyday."

Last season, the Gophers allowed 268.2 yards passing per game and ranked 117th out of 119 NCAA Division I programs in pass defense.

Landing Floyd, ranked No. 52 nationally among seniors and No. 8 among wide receivers by web siterivals.com, would be a major coup for new Gophers head coach Tim Brewster. Floyd emphasized that he likes Brewster and his staff and that his concerns about Minnesota had nothing to do with them.

"I think Brewster is a great guy," Floyd said. "I know he's working hard to bring people in and build up the program."

NCAA rules prohibit Brewster and his assistants from commenting on Floyd until he signs a national letter of intent in February.

Floyd had 63 catches last season for 1,240 yards and 16 touchdowns. He is the first Minnesota football player to earn a Rivals top 100 ranking since former Cretin star and current Twins catcher Joe Mauer was
ranked No. 2 overall as a quarterback in 2001.

Nice find IK1023. Too bad I hate his other 3 choices. UMinn falling out is big for ND though.

 

[johnnd05]

Well, THAT's good news. Thanks, Knight.
