You know FL, I see what you are saying, and I can also see what his coach is aying. Say you're a prospect like Riggs, and you commit to ND early. Then FL, a school you really wanted offer, all of a sudden offers. Now what? You're committed to ND, but you got the offer from a school you really wanted to go to. DO you open your recruitment again and piss off your ND coaches and the fan base, thus making you feel like crap? Do you stay committed to ND, but still wondering what if? Do you carry that what if all the way to NSD, and then flip on ND and leave a school you previously loved in a fu**ed position?

From what I hear, the coach tells his players to take OV's to make sure they are solid with their decisions. That could hurt kids that wait too long and see their offers pulled, or it could help kids who are struggling to pick the right school. It's tough bro. I think in Riggs case I'm glad he didn't commit at the time because I wouldn't want to get heartbroken on NSD (and yes, when these guys flip it literally breaks my heart!)...

The Aquinas coach may have the players interest in heart but the Aquinas coach has HIS team in mind. He does not want his players flitting about in-season, once camp open it all about Aquinas. He does not want the distractions and disruptions to his schedule.

This came out during Young's recruitment. Sam didn't visit ND until January 20th. Wenger caused a stir at home the next year by taking a November visit.

So this means we can extend an extra scholly to A. Olyian (or however the hell you spell it). Hell... the kid wants to pull the trigger... why not get number 14/13?

Boyd responding to B&G's Jason Sapp:
When I first stepped on campus, it’s just a feeling that you get. It’s a family-type of atmosphere. You’re surrounded by all good people. I don’t have to worry about getting in trouble there and I can focus on my studies and football

Sounds like he has a little fan to root for him.

Sounds good to me. The gut can fly and we could use another LB this year.

Here's a comment from Connecticut coach Randy Edsall that deals with commitments from a HS coaches point of view:

I know the high school coaches don't like all this because one of their kids commits, and then they can't coach their kids anymore. The kids think they're done. Some kids shut it down and don't play as hard their senior year

The staff is holding the remaining LB spot for someone like Anthony Barr or Tony Jefferson. Both can play multiple positions but Notre Dame can be picky at LB.

Tony jefferson plays safety not LB at the next level. We are taking him as a safety. And we are in good position with tony and parker both at safety

He currently plays LB in high school and is being recruited as a safety. Jefferson could grow into a LB or in the very least play the nickel similar to Motta

Per ISD, he still plans on enrolling early and getting a head start on his Irish career...

It's as a backup plan in case that the new coach doesn't want him. He still plans on enrolling early as long as the new coach will have him.

I'm not worried....yet LOL...

I still don't like it. What kind of coach comes in and says to a high school kid..."I know they wanted you and recruited you, but I don't like ya."

Didn't Holtz say something to Stan Smagala? He ended up taking him but didn't he say something to try to discourge him from signing? I know I read that somewhere long ago but I don't remember where.

I have got a great story about Smagala. My Uncle, an all state runningback at fenwick, was being recruited by the big ten schools and what not. Him and smagala were the same year. My whole family was obviously enormous ND fans, hence where i got it. So a coach from ND came up to my grandpa and said if we offer Chris a scholorship, will he say yes right now. My grandpa was like hell yea no doubt. But there were three coahes in the area one wanted my uncle/godfather and the other two wanted smagala. So they took smagala and my uncle went to iowa and the line coach then was frank verducci! I have another great story about smagala, if you want to hear it let me know but this post is already really long... sorry.

Spurrier when he replaced Holtz at S.C. There's been numerous others over the years when coaching changes take place. Didn't Kiffen tell a QB he didn't fit in his system?

No it was a running back and ND was trying to recruit him. I cant think of his name right now

Anty way i believe Swarbick said he would honer all the recruits which is why he has the coaches still on them. Most that are looking are in case they dont like the new coach
