The Opening" ......this ish crazy dope!!! 5 of us out here repin lookin like we gon leave wit 7 *Irish*

David Perkins facebook statuts. For those of you who cant understand what he is saying cause it took me about 5 minutes to figure it out also. Ferguson, Harrell, Greenberry, Sheppard, and Perkins are the 5 Irish commits there in Oregon. Saying he is going to leave with 7. So Perkins thinks he will get two verbals soon. Lots of smoke right now and where there is smoke there is usually a fire.

Here are some of the others we are recruiting that are in attendance at The Opening (copied from that thread).
Other Recruits of Interest include:
Zach Banner
Sheldon Day
Joshua Garnett
Korren Kirven
William Mahone
Durron Neal
Ifeadi Odenigbo
Armani Reeves
KeiVarae Russell
Elijah Shumate

I don't know about Day, he seems pretty emphatic that he is wide open at this point. Could just all be a show though.

Great find GB.

May I throw a 3rd hat in the ring for which on that list may commit? Keivarae Russell

Would it not be an insane turn of events if we reeled in two great running backs this week in Russell and Mahone?

I thought Mahone and Russell at first, too, but I'm not so sure. Russell has sounded really high on ND, and I like our chances with him in the long run, but he seems like a kid who enjoys the recruiting process so I would be surprised to see him commit already. Day is a good thought.

At the end of the day, maybe nobody pulls the trigger by the end of The Opening, but Perk's (oh, p.s., definitely calling him "Perk" a la my man Kendrick. Google "Perk is a Beast") enthusiasm is surely a good sign.

Perkins has dubbed himself "Boom". I like Perk, but Boom is better; assuming he lives up to the name.

The kid did shave a shamrock into his head for this week. If that's not enthusiasm for the Irish, I don't know what is.

Agreed. The only other one I could imagine would be Armani Reeves, but I think he would be less likely to verbal to ND right now than the other two.

I dont know how close he is to making any decisions, but TJ Davis is also out there and has stated on two seperate occassions, including just this week that ND is his leader.

One more quite note...does anybody else kind of think that Boom seems like he should be playing on one of Coach Holtz's teams from the late 80's early 90s? I've seen pictures of him sporting a "box" and a "gumby" and now he's got a shamrock shaved in his head. That and his persona that I am picking up just screams ND late 80's.

I agree with both Wildman and Ironman (men of Wild and Iron? nvm)

Mahone and Day are the most likely, with Reeves also a (less likely) possibility.

I honestly don't really think anyone is really going to committ during this event. With the exception of maybe Mahone, who we all know really liked ND and has recently been on campus, no other recruit really makes sense to me. Yes Day has interest in us, but if he committed on the spot at The Opening because some other recruits were talking ND up I would be leary as to how solid that committment would truly be.

Speaking of Mahone, TT didn't you say he had to retake his ACTs before the staff would accept his committment anyways? Or could he committ and it would be contigent on his ACT scores?

That's what I get for relying on the list of our recruiting targets in attendance.

I'd, uh, like to change my answer from Day to Davis then. :)

Davis, Mahone

Personally, I don't think anyone commits this week. I'll be ecstatic if it happens though. Props to the guys for getting in the ears of others.

So glad you found a pic of his hair. Thanks.

Now as for the hair...awesome.

The fact he is willing to sport that will bode well for us. His confidence in the Irish projects on to the other recruits, I'd think.

I said the ACT scores were a concern according to a poster on Rivals, not sure if it was staff or not. I tend to not post stuff from the mindless drones on that site, so it was probably one of the reputable guys. I don't think the staff would turn down the commitment regardless.

What about Dunn?? He is there. AND, that would be a good back.
