'12 MD ATH Ronald Darby (Florida State Signee)

[Who'saWildManNow]

Also it's a camp. He will be getting the chance to learn and compete. Why not go?

 

[Grahambo]

Its my understanding that we have offered all three as well.

Scout, Rivals, and ESPN do not list ND as offering Gurley. He is listed as a 4 star athlete by ESPN and Scout has him as a 3 star RB/S while Rivals says 3 star athlete. Has a so/so offer list too.

It was reported months ago that we had offered him. The recruiting services miss stuff all the time.

Check Gurley's thread. His offer status is explained there.

We had a lengthy discussion on this earlier in the week. Consensus is that he does have an offer.

 

[Irish Man3]

I hate to bring the twitter thing up again buuut.. Remember that Todd Gurley tweet that splattered Marshall's thread for a few pages?



Auburn has offered all three.

I hate to think it but I can't say it's not a possibility.

The tweet that you are referring to is in reference to a video game. It has nothing to do with them playing college football together.

You gotta be kidding me.

Wow.

 

[koonja]

I think TT mentioned that Gurley has an offer. He's usually correct.

 

[Irish Man3]

You gotta be kidding me.

Wow.

Yes sir. Keith Marshall is very good at playing games with people that fall over every word he tweets. If you scroll back through the whole conversation, it's simply a dynasty they created on NCAA 12. They created their own team.

I do remember that.. I actually posted that I had just bought the game and it could be what they are talking about.. That was one of the first things I assumed.

I didn't see anything confirming it was NCAA12 that they were talking about. Either way, it's not a big deal.. I don't think he's going anywhere.

 

[BleedBlue&Gold]

my only worry is the appeal of SEC track, Mr. Darby says he is a football player first, it is what it is. we'll see how this plays out.

 

[calvegas04]

They are going down for a mini camp, I wouldn't put too much thought into this "Visit" attending these camps will help our guys get better playing against other top recruits.

hope your right. If it came down to it i think we could out bid auburn

[GBdomer]

Confirmed but Auburn mods he is on campus for a camp.

 

[Riddickulous]

Auburn is going to be a 7-8 win team this year.

They lose 16 starters. That includes (but not limited to) the Heisman Trophy winner, 4 OL, their top two WRs, their All-American DT, and their entire secondary.

And they play Mississippi State, Clemson, South Carolina, Arkansas, Florida, LSU, Georgia, and Alabama. Alabama will be out for blood.

 

[IrishLax]

I honestly don't know if they'll even get 7 wins... they have at least 4 sure losses in the games you've listed and you have to think Florida and Mississippi State will be favored.

 

[OCIrish]

I saw over on rivals that maybe some posters are ready for the ledge on the 4HL, I don't have premie at rivals so I don't know for sure what's going on. Of course, I don't much care either, but thought I would pass what I saw over on II.

 

[GBdomer]

What you mean?

 

[TheTurningPoint]

Not a good thing, but not a bad thing either. If he decommits theres PLENTY of time to get him back. If there wasnt a camp and he was down there, that would raise some concerns, but we win games in the fall....they will come. If we dont, then I cant blame them to not come.

 

[TerryTate]

Always thought Darby had the greatest chance of decommitting. Regardless, this recruiting battle won't be over until February.

agreed...closest thing we have committed right now to sec type of guy...hope we can hand on to him. Hopefully his desire to early enroll, if that's still the case, will help us out if we're able to hand on to em.

I agree and last years recruiting cycle showed we can overcome adversity. Go Irish!

 

[Praytorian]

I think we are good here. If I remember correctly on Power Hour when he was interviewed he DID want to EE, and I think if you want to EE @ ND that means your already set for it.

 

[johnnykillz]

I'm hoping this kid stays Irish!

 

[Riddickulous]

Far from it. Aaron Lynch is an example.

 

[Praytorian]

I didnt (and still don't remember Aaron wanting to be an EE - though I have been wrong many times), but I do remember the kid from 2 years ago/just not his name. Chris Barr?, but I still will take our chances with EE's staying true far more than not.

 

[BostonND]

I get the feeling that this thread will have 100+ pages by the end of February.

February hell... it will hit 100 by September at this rate.

 

[rtrn2glory]

any updates on what it says on II??

 

[GBdomer]

Not really an update. He was there did not do any interviews with rivals or anyone which is odd. In contact with ND staff i dont think they were to pumped about him visiting but understood. Hopefully he pulls a Tuitt, if we win he wont go anywhere.
