'08 GA DT Omar Hunter (Florida Verbal)

[johnnd05]

------Having Weis there makes me warm and fuzzy inside. How uncomfortable is that for Omar with Poodle coming up to him after the game to poach him and Weis comes up at the same time (really pissed off but playing it smooth.) Oh and where do you read that Weis was there?

I just linked to an article in the "Where in the world ..." thread. Urban the Liar was there too.

 

[Irishknight1023]

Well, it might have been to look at juniors.

But wait - the Poodle's recruits are jumping ship?? How come I haven't heard about this?

------How could you of missed it? Poodle lost his commit Chris Polk (who is a 4 star with a 5.9 RR) to Ty Willingham of all people......truely embarressing.

Whoa. Crazy. I guess I hadn't seen that b/c - like with the rest of college football - I pay attention only to ND. Brilliant, though ...

 

[piyachi]

The article only said that representatives from UF were there - not exactly the star treatment if he were planning on shipping out, haha.

I thought USuCk also lost another guy or two recently - another WR.

 

[drewsko]

I bet Urbans snake ass sent Mattison i hate them creeps. Whats up with people saying JBrown and Beal are visting is there truth to this or just tryig to piss off the florida jerks.

 

[m-araim]

I doubt it's true, before his state finals or just after he talks to some one about decommiting ND and comminting to UF! not realstic

supposedly they thought carl moore was a lock..
and some joe adams or something like that is opening up his recruitment again..
they are both wr..so im guessing thats what you are talkin about

 

[mikejND]

Caught this off of the florida board....


True but the rumor of him visiting UF with his teammate has been debunked. A ND site talked to him tonight and he said that he has no interest in UF and will be making no visit there in Jan or at any other time.

That said I've followed recruiting, and Urbie, long enough to know that nothing is final until LOI's are in. But so far depite overtures from many schools Hunter has been 100% committed to ND.

 

[Paulo1300]

my notre dame layout is better than omars haha

 

[IHateMarkMay]

This is a rumor, it is a lie. This shouldn't even be discussed anymore, it just doesn't seem like he is bleeding blue and orange to me.

MySpace.com - Omar - 17 - Male - BUFORD, GEORGIA - www.myspace.com/81663058

Anyone else realize that the MySpace page said he is from New Jersey.... for some reason, i dont know if i believe its his or not.

They basically had five star JUCO Carl Moore locked up and then UF came in at the last min and gave his girlfriend a gymnastics scholarship to get get him to come to Florida.

I believe that was BGI. I know they pulled down the thread about this latest rumor too.

Thank god it is over now

Congratulations to <strong>Omar Hunter</strong> and the Buford Wolves, who brought home the class AA Georgia state championship today with a 50-0 drubbing of Lovett. It was the seventh shutout of the season for Hunter's defense, as the Wolves brought home their fourth state title since 2001.

Hopefully in a couple of years it will be him and CW or CB hugging after the NC game...

Just read on Irish Eyes that no visit to Florida is happening. Mike Frank got the info from Omar himself when this rumor first came out.

Omar received his 5th star from Scout today. Also, the new Scout 100 is out.

 

[goldandblue]

Great, another 5th star!

 

[HeavenKnows]

U. of Florida and USC will make another attempt to lure Omar to their schools at the All American game. This is when florida has had the most success against us and made a move on Justin Trattau as well as Rashon McNeil. I am sure they will send their recruits after Omar as they did at Justin and Rashon.

Omar is some defensive force. He could be a five star offensive lineman as well.

 

[goldandblue]

What I've seem to take in with Omar is that he is a strong commitment for the Irish. I'm sure like you said, teams will still make a push for him in the end but he seems to be a character kid who will honor his commitment.

Yeah, but he's rooming with Cave, and Slughter and Walker will be there as well. I'd prefer it if all four of them were in the other game, but I want to see those guys try to get past Cave to get to Omar.

 

[ChicagoIrishfan]

Cave will keep an eye on those dirty gators

 

[Irishknight1023]

I just don't see the worry because Cave is his roomate that is enough to hold him down. Omar hasn't waivered once. He said if the coaching staff stays, he does. Well they're still here so that pretty much takes care of that. Trattou wasn't lured away at the AAA game last year because we had quite a few ND recruits and he spent alot of his time with Duval....it was the firing on Minter (4-3 defense) and hiring of CB (3-4 defense) that suddenly made Justin take a trip to Florida.

 

[fwirish24]

i think florida put up a new article about omar and his teammate visiting them or is it the same one you guys were talking about?

I completely agree.
