Prayers to your little girl---really all the best. And, anyone named Murphy has got to be a winner.

 

[KPENN]

Take all the S*** you want KPENN...he was right.

First off He had a 1 in 3 shout dude. Secondly He said that he had commited Wednesday when he actually commited Friday.... He guessed.

I hope for all the best for you daughter.

On a note intended to distract, where in Orlando? I graduated from Bishop Moore in 1970. Is it still the only Catholic high school in town?

 

[NankerPhelge]

Fair enough.

What is funny is that a source called the Oracle had insight 2 days prior to Ishaq committing to ND.

DShans has his own site?

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

jmurph, your daughter and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you.

I'm out by UCF, and Bishop Moore might not be the only Catholic High School....it still is THE Catholic High School in the area. Thanks for the well wishes.

Golden was trying to get in Rabasa's ear but Anthony told him not to waiste his time cause he already bought his Tie and Hat that he is going to wear on Feb.2 and it has a ND sign on it...

I even heard that some board had Golden in his house this weekend and got Anthony to decomit,that would be hard to do cause Anthony is in the Bahammas this weekend...

Guys Anthony is 100% Irish,aside from Alford staying in touch with Lynch,Rabasa called him all the time telling him ND was the place he needed to be.

Kelly and Diaco are in love with this kid,they have promised him that he is going to see alot of action next season.

Kelly will be at his house not this friday but the one after for a BBQ which i will also be attending.

Prayers to your family jmurph; really hope your daughter is OK.

As for Rabasa, this one's in the bag.

Sorry if I was a little touchy, I've been without sleep for a while now. I'm posting from the hospital where my newborn baby girl just had her 2nd surgery. If I post something it comes from people involved in the program that I'm posting about. What I hears about Miami making a push for Rabasa is not top secret info, however 2 Miami boosters have told me that he is still on their wish list(wich I'm sure is quite long) I didn't ever think he was going anywhere he just hasn't been any post on his thread for quite some time. Sorry for getting defensive

JMurph, I just read about your daughter. You, your wife, and your precious daughter are in my constant prayers and will be until this is but a memory in her long and sucessful life. If their is anything that I, or any of us on here I'm sure, can do, please let us know. All of you guys feel like family to me and I just want you to know that we are here for you brother!

Awesome, thanks for the info. We really appreciate the real insight.

 

[rocket31]

so when irish man3 told us miami was "all over rabassa" it was inaccurate?

...crap i had my fingers crossed all throughout the night.

 

[Mavericknyc1980]

Thanks for the great news. I am sure we all appreciate it.

Bruce Pearl Liked BBQ's LOL

My Virginia Tech Ball Player Brother says that there is nothing that enough BBQ sauce can't fix.

No it's not inaccurate. Miami and Florida both were all over Anthony. I specifically noted that I had no idea if they made any advances. The second Golden was hired, Rivals noted that his first two phone calls went to Anthony Chickillo and Anthony Rabasa.

BIG Drop!

BIG Drop!

Scout dropped him 9 slots to #56 DE, 3 Stars

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Scout dropped him 9 slots to #56 DE, 3 Stars

That's not right...Kid is a lethal pass rusher.

 

[irishandy]

Scout dropped him 9 slots to #56 DE, 3 Stars

He'll prove them wrong when he gets on the field.

 

[IrishLax]

It just doesn't make sense how far off Scout is from everyone else on this guy. Kinda like with Councell dropping even as he played awesome... makes me wonder how much effort they really put in to evaluating some guys.

I agree. Of the major three recruiting services (Scout, Rivals & ESPN) I put the least stock in Scout.

 

[Rocket89]

It almost seems like Scout wasn't prepared for the Irish just jump into the top 5 in team rankings and is starting to lower some of the players ratings accordingly.

It wouldn't surprise me if they see ND is hovering around 10 or 12 and people are giving their site crap for having the Irish at No. 3 in the nation.

 

[Old Man Mike]

Some of the ratings nonsense that occurs is that these guys don't know how to assess the player who is playing a spot in high school that he is not going to play in college. This is happening all the time with players who are DEs in high school but project at OLBs in college.

The ratings services particularly are boggled by guys going into 3-4 defenses. They seem generally not to have a clue. For US to get a better clue, we probably need to ignore the services on our OLB recruits [and linebackers in general] and see how much our coaching staff wanted them. That will give us a better feeling for whether Kelly and Diaco see them as "5-stars" in a 3-4.

[P.S. I see the same thing on all but the very top "Athletes", and on the guys who are HS RBs but are headed to positions like Spread offense Slot. Our systems are still too novel for these raters to get a grip on them].

 

[jason_h537]

Added to the US vs the World game. Will be joining fellow commits, Hegarty, Tuitt and the Atkinson Bros.

 

[rtrn2glory]

Good for him...great opportunity for him to get some more quality experience.

 

[Ironman8]

Miami was ALL OVER Rabasa when Golden took over. I have to defend my man IM3 here. There is a premium story coming on ISD that talks about how Rabasa had to have his high school coach call Miami and tell them to back off with the calls and visits because he was solid ND. He and Chickillo were their top targets right off the bat.

Other notes: Elston and Diaco visited him this morning and just chatted, mostly about signing day plans and his new all-star game invite. He will be play OLB in the USA vs the World game.
