'11 FL OT Jordan Prestwood (Arizona Western C.C.)

[Whiskeyjack]

That brought a tear to my eye. God bless Tony Alford.

Another huge notch on his belt. Has anyone compiled a list of all his blue-chip recruits? I'd love to see it.

Let there be no doubt . . . Tony Alford is a f*cking man. The man.

He is the man...and was a pretty good player at CSU, also, he was the one that blew my shoulder out in 91.

^this

If Alford ever came to recruit my son I would make him commit on the spot (well my son isn't even 2 yet so not very likely).

I bet you can oddly thow a football 60 yards with that shoulder now... am I right?

 

[WabashFalcon]

Well. I just became a happybear.

 

[Cali_domer]

FSU fans on the (rivals)main board are saying there O-line coach weeded him out because he was weak. LOL. Got to love delusion.

 

[WabashFalcon]

It just scares me that we may lose Diaco or Alford in the next 2-6 years to a major head coaching position. Their ability to recuit... it is un-f*cking-believeable.

Around 6 yards. . Two surgeries later...its still jacked up.

 

[WabashFalcon]

I just double-checked our roster. We are beyond stacked at OT for the next five years.

We'll lose Warriner and Martin before Diaco and Alford bolt.

But Alford probably deserves a nice raise, and I hope Kelly has discussed potential advancement with him; if he feels like he can't go any further at ND, I'm sure there are plenty of good programs who would love to offer him a coordinator job.

I was going to post something along these lines but I didn't want to remind folks of what's to come. I couldn't make them feel how I now feel after I reading your post. It hurts.


But ... I will still rep you for having the same train of thought as me. (which is not good) lol

 

[TerryTate]

Add to that a ridiculous pull with Decker, Harrell, and the possible combo of Peat, Banner, or Garnett, and that is an absurd haul

 

[johnnykillz]

Here we are.

247sports B&G got a scoop:

Jordan Prestwood leaving Florida State, will be Irish soon

 

[Mihalko35]

Bruce Lee actually helped Norris train in the early 70s during Chuck's 6 year world heavyweight champion reign...he never lost a fight...I gotta say that Bruce probably had alot to do with that.

Apparently, Bob Diaco has been training Tony Alford

Mother ****in beautiful.......So my question is do we still go after a few more OL in this class?

 

[Whiskeyjack]

We're still in the hunt for 4 elite OL prospects-- Theus, Peat, Banner, and Garnett. If two of those guys want to come, I think we probably still take them.

 

[GBdomer]

I got a major man crush on Tony Alford

Hell yeah we do.

The staff will make room for the elite. It will have to get real chinchy for "no room at the inn" for these juicies.

Woah, easy there Mihalko! Tony Alford has been putting in work and landing top-flight prospects for the Irish long before Diaco has. I love Diaco, but Alford deserves all the credit in the world. Aaron Lynch anyone?

 

[BGIF]

I'll go home to me parents, confess what I've done,
and I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son.
And if they forgive me as oft times before,
I never will play the wild rover no more.

Time to kill the fatted calf!

But it was appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for this, your brother, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.

 

[BGIF]

I hope not that would be tampering. I'll give them credit for planting a seed last year that struggled with the environment and took a few more months to germinate.

Something must be up when these kids change this fast-yes maybe he saw it differently at FSU but really these kids must feel somethings happening in South Bend. This is really big stuff-this guy could be a player at 3 different positions. Way to go Jordan Prestwood. Times are a changing baby.

omggggg

YES!

I thought for awhile he might come around like Lynch... but i never expected this to happen!

 

[Irish4Life09]

Anyone have any confirmation on whether or not Bob Diaco wears Tony Alford pjs? I figure BGIF must know....haha.

 

[OCIrish]

Over on Rivals earlier in the spring, there we're rumblings of him not being happy, but nothing was concrete. I guess the few posters were right on about him not being happy with his decision.

 

[beryirish]

I get the tweet from ISD about BREAKING NEWS....then it goes about Prestwood transferring...I'm already in bed so I thought ok I'll check it tomorrow morning. So I wake up to 8 pages of reading. I'm already exhausted. Official or not?? Congrats Jordan! In the end you made the right decision.

Don't know what the staff plans to do with the OL recruiting....but the recruits better make a quick decision. I saw Cyler Miles went to UW....so that could look good for Banner & Garnett????? Need to make a good impression on Peat and Theus when they visit.

 

[MadMasher]

Hello everyone. I am new to this sight. Woke up this morning and cant tell you how excited I am to hear about prestwoods decision. Really bugged me when this kid decommitted. Nice addition to the class of 2012. Go Irish!!!!
