Bummer. He’s by far the best follow on Twitter. Hopefully Driscoll lets the next guy link to freebie stories also or as much as Ryan did.

Ouch that's a big blow for IB

And one less podcast in the rotation for me, IB ones when Roberts was on were at least somewhat tolerable

shit the pants guy?

shit the pants guy?

No, that's Biden, different guy

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Ryan was by far the best of that bunch.
Very curious to hear what he has lined up next.

Regardless, I'm assuming that 1) it's probably more money/benefits ..2) certainly a much, much better boss to work for.

So congrats to him for escaping the lion's den (pig's pen?)

 

[a mike]

shit the pants guy?

Listen to one of their podcasts and within about three to five minutes you will be able to identify "shit the pants guy"

He will be the one ****ing off D3('s ego) every time he opens his mouth

Along with stupid/corny/cliche jokes

 

[Fbolt]

Unhealthy hate going on around here

Ryan also has two young daughters at home. He constantly talks about getting no sleep and I know Bryan Driskell askes a lot of him. It is his job, he's Director of Recruiting for IB, so certain times of the year, he's overloaded with work. Ryan also has a podcast with co-host Joe DeLeone, and does some of his own work on the side for the NFL Draft.

He's only 31, but he's the definition of a total grinder.

 

[IAIrish]

Wonder if he's striking out on his own or heading to a bigger market? Rivals could use some help in that dept.

If they give Shaun Davis his job I am dropping IB

Ryan especially highlighted Shaun today as "recruiting analyst" with a little extra mustard and insinuation in his tone.

 

[Fbolt]

Ugh.

This means more Vince. This means podcasts that should wrap in 90 minutes will take 3 hours because shit for brains has to repeat everything Driskell says, and then repeat it again. And then have a bad original thought that Driskell is confused by, so then Vince has to backtrack to a thought he knows Bryan will agree with.

Don’t believe me? Listen to the recent “mailbag” podcast. Pick out one coherent, original statement from what passes as a high school teacher in NW Indiana. He must be the only guy with the password to the podcasting software or something. He adds nothing.

I’ve been enjoying the Singer cast as well as Greg’s show more these days. IB is just always on, but I’d say a combo of ISD and B&G is better than IB. Just my personal taste.

I doubt it. Vince is Dean of Students at Penn HS. He only was only doing two shows a week with Sean Stires in the evening. And is now more frequently on shows because of the academic year ending.

II posters have resorted to taking info from other team site’s insiders and posting it on the II boards. They’re starving for info but can’t seem to get it from II.

Are the other VIP sites similar?

What are you referring too?
I've posts from other 247 sites and reporters...
Like Texas 247 reporter for Hines update
And 247 National reporter for Meadows...

247 is sharing updates... no irish visitors this week (unlike other schools).

The Tanook Hines thread is one that I’m talking about. There’s also a 6 page thread of a bunch of post OV updates from this past weekend for the recruits we’re in on.

Dang! Did he bang your woman? That is some resentful hate.

Any chance 247 would hire Ryan Roberts?

 

[Irishdwarte]

Any chance 247 would hire Ryan Roberts?

He said on his Monday recruiting hour that he is not going there.

Any chance 247 would hire Ryan Roberts?

on the pod he said he ain't goin there because he doesn't like them

And knowing how Vince gets down--unfortunately it was probably a Hot Carl

Just some tragic sh!t

 

[NDMatt91]

Just listened to the latest II recruiting podcast with Kevin Sinclair and Eric Thomas.

-ND remains very confident in landing Hines
-Meadows is a coinflip
-Hall might be trending elsewhere
-ND made significant headway with Robinson, but probably can't get it done
-Will be surprised if Faraimo isn't in the class
-NOB is a ND-Michigan battle based on his current timeline and they still like where ND is situated
-They like Blair for ND
-Sinclair spoke to someone last night who said they'd be "quite surprised" if Taylor ended up flipping

Weird reporting on Hall. He knows he doesn't have a seat right now. The staff told him that and he was forced to place a priority on Purdue, Stanford, etc. The question the sites should be asking is... IF ND doesn't land one of the Top 3 WR's, will Hall jump at a then committable offer immediately or has he moved on?

 

[allenm5333]

Mixed reporting on Meadows and Robinson. Many have ND and favorites

Yup. They were more confident in NOB and Taylor than others

A Dirty Sanchez is more Vince's speed....
