If the kid was smart he'd stay away from Flordia. I wonder how Justin and Omar feels after the lost to FSU.

Considering they both have championship rings, are surrounded by incredibly hot women, and just finished their WORST year (7-5), the same record as our BEST year during these last 3 years, I'd say they don't feel nearly as bad as ND fans have during Justin's and Omar's football tenure.

But I do agree, right now the program to be at in FL looks to be Florida St. And having said that, I still have questions about their program as well.

 

[TerryTate]

The entire staff is out recruiting hard this week. Expect a lot of visits and recruiting updates/surprises in the next two weeks.

 

[Irish Man3]

Time to lock some people up and time to poach. Should be an interesting couple of weeks. Excited to see what happends with Golson, French, Chickillo, and Louis-Jean in the next couple weeks.

I guess getting an NC title ring riding the bench is accomplishment. Please it isn't like Omar getting p*ssy stock has risen.

Looking forward to the action. Go Irish!

Riding the pine??? Are you serious? Please...as a redshirt freshman, Omar Hunter played in all 14 games and got plenty of PT. Justin Trattou as a true freshman had 20 tackles and got plenty of run too, and then as a sophomore he started all but one game...the year they won the national championship. How in the hell is that riding the pine?

No one is saying that they are all-world players or anything like that. In fact it's safe to say they didn't fully live up to all the hype. But if you think they are sitting there rueing (sp?) their choice of FL over ND right now, that's crazy. They won almost as many games in one year (14) as ND did in 3 years (16) - that's insane -, and were starters as it was happening. Not everyone that chooses another school, even FL, regrets that decision.

These guys might regret that decision later if they don't graduate or have a successful career, but right now, I HIGHLY doubt they feel bad or regretful in any way for choosing FL over ND.

EDIT: Does this sound like a guy who regrets his decision?

“I have made some of my best friends on this team,” said Trattou. “We have been through a lot of ups and downs together. We have stuck together through criticism and a lot of guys have showed a lot of character because of it.”

Down to his final games as a member of the Gator football team, Trattou hopes to cherish every moment.

“Playing at Florida has been the best experience a person can have as a football player,” said Trattou. “To me, the game-day atmosphere, the fans and the prime-time exposure are better than anywhere else in the country.”

As for Chickillo, time to put on the full-court press for him.

[ryno 24]

is he a linebacker or d end in our system

 

[TerryTate]

OLB

 

[WabashFalcon]

If we keep Tuitt... he is the one legit, game changing end we need in this cycle.

 

[military_irish]

Per ISD Twitter Chickillo is in the process of finalizing an official visit to ND this weekend, could be a good sign

 

[TerryTate]

Huge weekend.

That sounds very promising indeed. I can see us really stepping up our recruiting pitches to alot of guys now after our recent win and with a few weeks to go before our bowl game.

 

[irishff1014]

Good to see big names coming back after us winning a few games.

 

[ryno 24]

Wow that could be big I like him he is an athlete that is fast

 

[CanadianIrish]

We need this kid badly, he could step right in to fill the void Lynch left. Hopefully he isn't scared by a little cold weather.

 

[ryno 24]

he would be an outside linebacker for us Lynch would have been a DE... Very talented though

 

[Mavericknyc1980]

Getting this kid would be huge!!!!

 

[zbikowski88]

He is about to set a visit. Good news.

 

[ryno 24]

yea i thought he set a visit for this weekend?

 

[aubeirish]

Oh maybe he did. I don't quite remember what I heard...

 

[ryno 24]

Still good news... I still want a stud to replace Lynch at DE most of these guys we are recruiting that are DEs are going to be OLBs

 

[jason_h537]

Chickillo was intrigued by ND earlier and had talked of taking an OV. This is one kid who i am really high on (wish we would have offered Colt Lyerla but thats another story)

Anyway he passes the Barry Every test and can play.

He is a lifelong Miami fan so a solid hire could solidify him as a hurricane once again
