'11 GA DE Stephon Tuitt (Signed Notre Dame LOI)

[sportallyr]

This reminds me of the scene is Pet Sematary when the toddler gets smoked by the semi-truck.

LOL. Wonder if the QB's shoes came off in that collision.

 

[dshans]

Man look at the legs on that QB..

Just like mine ... chicken legs! Toothpicks, if you will.

 

[OlympiaIrishFan]

Can you imagine him coming after you in a game? What two outstanding DE's these guys are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[GBdomer]

Anthony keeps in touch with alot of recruits and guys playing now for ND,he has acually become very good friends with L.Nix...

He was pisssed at Lynch cause he told me they had talked a couple of days before and Rabasa told him he was flying up here and Lynch told him ah man i wish i could go with you..and that he's aways telling everybody that there going to be beast and that the Defense was going to be Nasty.. Thats what he's pissed about... And about Tuitt,he told me he spoke to Tuitt and that he was really down about how they have been playing,especially the defense... And that he was questioning Diaco's play calling..

I just told him to hang in there and keep talking positive to the other recruits cause they need to keep each other positive... He finished off with,Coach i wanna go to ND i really do,but i also wanna win,i wanna win and play in big games,games people remember...
And i told him,thats why you and all these other guys need to come to ND,cause when you guys win the big one,You guys will be remembered forever...

info from domer domain but it says Tuitt still solid with the irish

 

[irishff1014]

I am hopeful but barely

 

[mgriff]

I hope we keep him, but if the guy who spread his grandfather's ashes at ND decommits, everyone is fair game. That's not a knock on Lynch, but you would think that's a locked in commitment, with an action like that.

 

[GBdomer]

I think we are good with Rabasa tuitt ive always been on ice with. Tuitt just seems to good to be true if you guys know what i mean.

 

[irishandy]

I really hope we can keep Tuitt.....

 

[GBdomer]

just that he is solid
They asked if he was solid and he said "YES SIR"

 

[irishff1014]

where was this said at?

 

[GBdomer]

rivals

 

[jason_h537]

Doesn't matter. Prestwood and Lynch both saidb repeatedly they were both solid. Just have to keep recruiting the kid till the LOI is faxed in

 

[mgriff]

He can say whatever he wants, Aaron Lynch sprinkled the ashes of his grandfather on campus, and then decommited. Never, ever is a recruit solid until his LOI is in.

 

[GBdomer]

mgriff i completely agree with you my man.

 

[chyrspchuck]

at least Tuitt's mom isn't on here guaranteeing us he is all Irish

 

[ndcoltsfan2010]

I hope we keep Tuitt as well, but the way things have gone lately, I beginning to wonder who will actually stay Irish. I just got on here after taking a couple of days away after that loss and I can't even put into words my disappointment in finding out that we lost yet even another kid in this class. all along I was so stoked about getting Tuitt and Lynch..., well that ain't gonna happen now and I just hope and pray that we keep this kid.

 

[jonesman]

Remember that we are still pursuing Ishaq, Ray Drew, Brennan and other DE recruits who could replace Aaron. ND will survive and thrive.

 

[CroatianSensation]

I hope Tuitt keeps his word...but to me, I just have this weird feeling that his commitment is too good to be true....

Hopefully he stays and keeps the rest of the class solid and maybe gets us some more recruits as well with his leadership.

 

[aubeirish]

Let's be hopeful people. Maybe he can bring his good friend Ray Drew with him to replace Aaron. Just a thought.

 

[irishff1014]

That would be sweet.

I appreciate the positive attitude and you are right..., we are still in play for some other great recruits. I just have this horrible feeling in my gut that we are not done losing other recruits in this class. The one kid we all thought for sure would be Irish just backed out of his commitment. I will hope we can replace Aaron with another DE but I guess we will have to wait and see. Bottom line is we need to win games. The way we have played the past couple of weeks, I can honestly see alot of kids really wondering where our football program is headed. I for one am trying my best to stay positive and optimistic, but my faith has been tested as so many other people.

If Tuitt would stay and convince Lyons and Drew to come with him then this situation would be saved and we could all just move on with our lives as though Lynch had never happened.

Frankly, that should be the recruiter's biggest priority right now - and it shouldn't be that hard a sell. If you look at our depth chart, all three of them would be on the two deep right away because of graduations (H. Smith gone at safety, Neal and B. Smith gone at linebacker, Nwankwo at end) and they would all probably be starting by their second year (Johnson and KLM graduate, Flemming, Filer and McCarthy too).

They simply aren't going to get that elsewhere. Kelly needs to go out and sell defensive players on the fact that they still have a great offensive recruiting class and all we need is the defense to go with it.

If Lebron, DWade and Bosh can go to the Heat, we can dream of Tuitt, Drew and Lyons.

I hear you man. I would love to get Drew and Lyons and if I were a recruiter I would pull out every thing in the book and put on a full court press to get these guys. I also like French and IShaq and a few others. I really hope we keep Tuitt because he is a mega talented kid that will help us immediately. Lets hope we hear some positive things on the recruiting front for a change.

 

[GBdomer]

Kelly knows what he's doing he will sell this program everyone is asking Kelly on the hott seat and all this crazy stuff. They need to look at Cinnci right now there 3-5 with basically the same players. there a mess just shows how good of a good coach Kelly is cause cinnci is not doing a darn thing right now.

Harrison Smith has another year; no one seems to remember that. And who says any of those guys in parenthesis can beat out the new recruits? And there is no mention of Slaughter.

Ten@10: Struggles aside, Stephon Tuitt plans to stick with Notre Dame | AJC College Sports Recruiting

In the past couple of weeks, as Notre Dame struggled on the football field it has also struggled to hold onto recruits. It has lost three four-star commitments so far in defensive ends Clay Burton and Aaron Lynch and offensive tackle Jordan Prestwood. But they’re not going to lose their four-star defensive end from Georgia.

At least that’s what Stephon Tuitt told me this week. The 6-foot-5, 260-pound Monroe Area star told me he’s sticking with the Fighting Irish regardless of how this season shakes out.

“It just makes me more determined,” Tuitt said. “I’m going to Notre Dame for football, but that’s not the only thing I’m going there for. I’m also going for the school and the academics and the history and the tradition. None of that has changed.”

Tuitt said as he watches the Irish play it becomes more evident how he can help then on defense.

“It’s kind of like our school,” he said. “We had a couple of bad seasons. But we worked really hard and fought our way through it and got better and now we’re winning.”

Monroe Area was 0-20 the previous two seasons. The Purple Hurricanes (8-1) face Lumpkin County in a Region 8AAA play-in game Friday.

This is the difference between a GA player and a FLA player! love it! GO IRISH!!!!!!!!!

 

[Sherm Sticky]

GD Terry when his name popped up at the top of the page I nearly had a heart attack. This is great news and I believe what he says, he is an absolutely great kid!
