'11 NY OLB Ishaq Williams (Signed ND LOI-EE)

[RyCo1983]

Getting all three of these guys would be INCREDIBLE. Wake me up when they sign the LOI!!!

Well...no need for that...
Williams and Lynch are both planning to EE wherever they go
They'll be attended classes 2 or 3 weeks before signing day!
If they are there then bet your *** Tuitt won't decommit...Tuitt and Lynch played great together at the UA AAB.

Tuitt and Lynch weren't at the UA AAB, we've been getting the practice reports from them at the AAA game. The game is tomorrow, which is where Ishaq is announcing.

 

[Freeman Ara]

Can we change the thread title to OLB, it is getting annoying constantly having to tell people what position he will play at ND if he chooses to attend.

If we are putting in requests for info changes on recruits, can we get Golson's hometown changed to Myrtle Beach on the commit list on the front page. He isn't from Oil City.

 

[Ricochet]

Lynch no longer an EE if he recommits to ND, from what I understand.

 

[irishff1014]

thats fine by me I just want him on the team.

 

[Epitome]

Lynch no longer an EE if he recommits to ND, from what I understand.

That's incorrect... He stated today that he will EE at either ND or FSU

 

[NDfanatic333]

There is an update on Ishaq's decision timeline on ISD. Premium info though.

 

[Ironman8]

He won't be making the decision tomorrow anymore.

 

[NDPhilly]

Is it on ISD

 

[Ironman8]

Is it on ISD

The guys at ISD talked to his father. They want to talk about the decision more on the flight home.

 

[Freeman Ara]

I think we get both IShaq and Lynch or neither. If Lynch makes the visit and comes back to ND then I think IShaq follows. If Lynch goes to FSU I think IShaq ends up with the Orange.

 

[KPENN]

Any idea when he's deciding?

 

[Irish Man3]

Expect a decision shortly after the AAA game. He wants time alone with his father away from all the media to make a decision. No fault for that. The longer this draws out, the less I think it benefits ND. He almost committed to ND after his visit, and it just looks bad as time draws out.

Don't think thats known yet, but he does still plan on being an EE.

I initially agreed with your opinion, but the more I see read people's opinions on numerous boards that he could have gone into the decision as a Syracuse man, and had such a great time with the ND recruits and with Lynch that he had second thoughts. Who knows though.

 

[IrishLax]

I no longer think he ends up Irish. A flight home with his Syracuse alum father really does not bode well for the same reason him having a good time with the ND guys does bode well. It seems like this is case of him trying to weigh better teammates + facilities + academics + football prospects against the comfort factor + what everyone on the home front wants him to do. And I'm not just talking about his parents... you have to imagine 95% of the people he runs into on a daily basis pressure him to go to 'Cuse.

I always thought we would land him and I now think every moment he mulls it over at home makes him more likely to end up at a worse school that will never compete for anything.

This is also my train of thought.

Well P on you two, ya gotta believe.

It could also mean that he did not plan on announcing for the Irish, and after spending a week with the other ND guys, he has changed his mind and would like to talk things over with his parents and explain to them his change of heart before announcing his decision.

It could also be he wasn't planning on announcing for ND, but changed his mind over the course of this week, and much like we see recruits do after an official visit, he wants to let it sink in and see if he still feels that way in a few days, or if he was just caught up in the moment type of thing.

I am in no way implying I feel it is one way or the other at this point, moreso just that there could be literally dozens of scenarios playing out with Ishaq and his family, and the reality of it is we do not know if the change of events bodes better or worse for the Irish. There is a chance that Ishaq isn't even 100% sure what the answer to that would be right now.

Unfortunately we have to let the cards fall how they will, but man does this week feel like Christmas Eve when I was about 10 years old....

 

[ND_HAS_RISEN]

This is also my train of thought.

I hate thinking so, but something tells me he has had such a great time at the AA practices with all the ND guys, and maybe his parents (father) aren't on the same page with how Williams feels. It sounds almost like he wants to come, but the pressure of fulfilling a tradition may be holding him back. I hope I am wrong, and I hate speculating, but thats what it feels like to me...

I love our class regardless of how it shakes out, but as others have said, signing these 3 guys (Tuitt, Williams, and Lynch) would be a monumental statement for this program, and would set the stage for something truely special!!!

Here's hoping all wishes come true for all Irish fans in these last few agonizing weeks of the recruiting season!!

Hopefully they realize that they have great chemistry and they all come here. That would be a beautiful end to 2011 recruiting.

 

[choo choo]

yes any or all of these guys would be awesome

 

[rtrn2glory]

So, when exactly is he planning on making his announcement now??

 

[ndcoltsfan2010]

Really hope this kid becomes Irish, but like alot of you guys on here, I am also concerned and am beginning to have my doubts. This kid is going to be truly special no matter where he ends up. Just want to see him in blue and gold making some nice plays for our defense.

Syracuse football fans have to wait: Report says Ishaq Williams will delay decision | syracuse.com


says he will make his choice sometime next week.

 

[zemaniak]

anyone else thinks he is waiting to see what Lynch does..

 

[GoIrish41]

anyone else thinks he is waiting to see what Lynch does..

I think its more likely he's waiting to see what happens with PSU's Bradley and the Pitt job.

 

[anarin]

The timing seems a little ironic. Lynch opens back up and Ishaq delays.

Why not right? Fits perfectly with the drama!

 

[WhoDeyIrish]

They both knew they could get Notre Dame fans all hyped up for a couple of more days, just to announce they both decided to commit to USC and take Tuitt with them.

 

[BCSorBust]

I think they are going to take their talents to south beach and play basketball with Prince James.
