Just an opinion but I'm not sure it's a great idea for fans to start calling the AD. Um, notice his mom's statements weren't in quotations, maybe for good reason..it makes the trip and yet another story sound possible. Notice they said "internet rumors" instead of taking credit for starting the story themselves, that says about everything. GO IRISH!!!

I'm 100% positive I did not violate any NCAA rules by calling the AD.

If that's a violation, I'm a USC fan and I'm calling every kid personally to welcome him to USC (checks in the mail).

Well if that's a violation, then no doubt I violated NCAA rules in 1999, I attended the summer football camp at N.D. in 99. A fellow player there was Gerome Sapp. He lived in Texas and I in Tennesse. Anyways to make a long story short, We flew from S.B to Detroit then to Nashville together on the way home. At nashville, he borded another plane to head on down to Texas. On the flight from Detroit to Nashville, we sat together. He told me that they offered him at camp so I spent the entire flight telling him about the majestic and traditional place Notre Dame is. Also throwing in there many other reasons why he should go to N.D.

So if you violated by calling the AD, I probably did too. Either way I was glad to have Sapp at N.D. just as I am to have Omar.

did you attend as a player? Did you end up playing anywhere? Is your name Jerious Jackson?

Running into a prospect is a little different than calling the AD from a school a commit attends. I'm sure the staff would say leave the recruiting to the them, it's their job.

Yeah, because I'm sure he'd say so on a public forum if he was. Lord knows I wouldn't tell you guys who I was if I were a current or former player, or someone else famous. Well, maybe ACamp, but that's just because I like his pussy. LOL!

That doesn't mean that it makes it ok to do it.

First of all, Why wasn't it OK to call? Did I break the law? no Did I scream or upset anybody? no Did it have any effect Omar's life or any of yours? no Now who are you or anyone else to tell me what's right and what's wrong?

Second, I'm sick and tired of people always wanting answers, but scared to find them for their selves. I'm also sick of the peanut gallery questioning the select few that actually bring ND FOOTBALL information to this website. Irish envy is dependant on the the information that these select few bring to it. If your one of the select few(and you know who you are) this does not pertain to you.

Thanks for your time
Tom

The only reason it came up is that there were some issues a while ago with posters doing some things that could have been perceived as trying to convince recruits to come to ND, which would potential have been in violation of some NCAA guidelines.

But I agree that calling the AD to ask for a piece of information was totally unproblematic. The only point was that these actually are things we need to be careful about.

Let's all be friends, okay? :hug:

Okay, I'll admit it, I'm LeBron James. I just put the Indians logo there to throw you off.

I'd remain annonymous after that too.

I figured LeBron lurked on here. And after last night, I realized so does Sean Salisbury; more on that in a different thread.

Go Omar! Go!

Tom, no offense but I personally don't think your hands on approach does much to solidiying Omar, if in fact he isn't solid. That's the staffs job, they get paid to do it. I'd venture to say you'd get about a sentence or two in before the AD hung up. It isn't your job to get to the bottom like it isn't his (Omar's AD) job to talk to every ND fan. Some things won't be answered until NSD, that's just how it is. It's just not the best idea to start calling schools, if you call please just say you're a Trojan, it will reflect on their fanbase. Again, just my opinion, not trying to harp on anyone.

BTW, I've seen that Omar changed his number to stop other schools from calling.

Yes, that's true. In fact it's already been on this site in several different locations. I'm suprised that it hadn't made it's way into his profile. Thanks for adding it Dubose.

Yeah, I posted it first. Who said I was trying to solidify anything? I know I didn't.

I am encouraged by the report that he changed his phone number, but he's still about the only guy on our commit list that I'm seriously wondering if he'll be around come NSD.

It's a great job by our staff to keep this class together, let's hope they can keep it up!

I'm not, after this. Steve Filer did the same thing. I'll have to go find his quote about it, it's pretty funny.

There's also another story that most don't know about Omar. A few weeks ago a poster from II's premium board went to Omar's game with his wife and two little children all decked out in ND gear and they were holding a big poster that said go Omar. Well since the game was a blowout Omar was on the sideline most of the game and the poster caught his attention. He sent someone up to talk to them and to see if they would like to meet him. Oh they went down and met him after the game and they talked about ND a little bit and they all took a group picture where Omar was helping hold the little girl, then he signed their poster and added a big Go Irish! to the end of his signature. I have seen the pictures too so I know it's a legit story.

Here it is
He said he's still getting letters from a handful of other schools, but because they don't have his new number, they haven't been able to call him. "They kill a lot trees trying to recruit," Filer said. "They’re not big environmentalists."

With some of the facial expressions he has I think we should start calling him Omar "Mad Dog" Hunter. He so tenaciously devours OLs and QBs I think that might almost work.
