According to my source (yeah, I know) the reason why Liar is still recruiting is because of immense pressure by boosters to get the #1 recruiting class. As soon as NSD is over, he's gone.

For the newbies or those who don't know, IrishFL knows the guy who runs a prominent FL St website, so his info, while not always right because things change and people lie etc, is legit...

Gone from coaching, or gone until August?

Gone, out, zip, skeedadle. Supposedly not to return. But then again my source was the guy who broke the news that Matt Elam de-committed from UF and flipped to FSU as a solid verbal. A week later, Elam de-committed from FSU. Saw Gene for about 5 minutes yesterday, I was too tired too ask many questions because I got sloppy ass drunk the previous night (not as bad as Wabash though).

Another tidbit, his opinion on why booth Poodle and the players are leaving SC is because of the pending stuff about recruiting violations, but he has absolutely no connections to the situation, so it's just a fans opinion. Said McKnight in the SUV was the major contributor to going forward with the investigations. SC could be in for some harsh times...

Hendrix seems like a very good kid. He committed to a proven, tier-1, pro-style, coach. In fact, you could make a tongue-and-cheek argument that the last 3 years of ND football were little more than a turotial for Jimmy Clausen. Further, Charlie was loved by his players because of the family atmosphere he created in his program.

In comes a hard-nosed spread coach who was avery known quantity in town and who recruited another kid in your area (Massa) over you. What is Hendrix going to do? Hendrix probably defended his choice of ND to all the OSU fans by talking about preparation in a pro-style offense. Now he is supposed to be instatnly committed to another guy with a totally different pedigree and attitude?

Personally, if I were choosing NOW I would go to ND because it is Catholic, it has an amazing atmosphere, and it provides serious life-long connections across the country. In fact, I wouldn't even look anywhere else unless the coaches were big jerks. BUt when I was 19 I based my decision on weather, rankings, and a major that I never pursued, etc.. I bet if I had been interviewed about why I was looking at different schools and I read it now, I would be slightly embarrassed about why I thought I knew so much about something I had no clue about. Lets cut the kid some slack.

I have no idea why he would want to jump into the UF debacle, but it makes sense for him to look around.

Meyer actually staying in florida is such a shame. I think its an obvious recruiting move by an excellent recruiter. The man can recruit like hell, but he isnt going to be coaching there next season, i truly believe that.

It made me laugh today when Floyd tried to pull the ND "forty year decision" for FLorida but instead just said he was going to stay in florida for the next forty years. Meyer almost got him to say it right.

I got an update about my comments over Meyer staying at UF until NSD: rumor has it that Meyer was offered $10 million by the boosters to wait until after NSD. I have no idea if this is true, because Gene is just bitter about losing Elam to UF and may be making shit up.

Boosters are allowed to do that with non-contractual cash gifts?

WTF?

Per Keith Arnold NBCSports.com

Speaking of quarterbacks, as I mentioned earlier this weekend, Notre Dame commit Andrew Hendrix spent his weekend in Gainesville visiting the Florida Gators. According to Ryan Moss of GatorCountry.com (via IrishSportsDaily.com), here are a few of the choice quotes.


"I had a blast. There were a lot of highlights from the trip, but I would say that touring the stadium was pretty special."

"I spent a lot of time with Coach Loeffler. He was there with me every step of the visit and same with Coach Addazio he was around a lot. Coach Loeffler is a great guy who definitely knows what he is talking about and he is very personable. I've been privileged to get to know him over the past few months I also really like Coach Addazio. He is a tough guy but he is also a really fun guy."

"I did get an opportunity to have dinner with Coach Meyer and his wife, which was a cool experience."
​
I'm sure Irish fans will wipe more than a few drips of sweat from their brow, but that's the recruiting world that we now live in. A kid like Hendrix is probably more confused than anything, (which could explain the complimentary Loeffler comments... Ziing!) and the staff at Florida obviously knows the game when it comes to recruiting Notre Dame commits. It's tough to look at either depth chart and think that Florida is the better place, but best of luck to Hendrix, wherever he decides to attend college.

I don't consider Hendrix Irish until after National Signing Day. Even if Weis was still our coach, I thought the 2010 recruiting class was important; I still do. I see other teams going after our guys until the minute they sign their LOI. I hope Hendrix makes the right decision and stays Irish.

do you guys think Hendrix is going to wait until national sighing day to decide where to go, or will he commit sooner.

Hendrix to decide tonight. Probably.

"Anytime anybody goes on an official visit to a big school they love it," (Hendrix's Coach) Rodenberg said. "I don’t think that’s the issue. He liked it, it was fun. It’s the typical answer I would get if he visited six other schools.

"The big schools are going to wine and dine you well. It was fun, interesting, good –– all that stuff."

It is amazing that we expect recruits visiting other campuses to say, "Meh".

Why, what's the ominous significance of Tuesday night, January 12th?

On January 12th 1906, Football rules committee legalizes forward pass. See the connection.

Also in recruiting, the last visit 90% of the time get the commit.
