'12 CA WR Jordan Payton (UCLA Signed LOI)

[salveamicus]

Notre dame nice win #GoIrish

Seems to like to keep everyone guessing, doesn't he?

 

[IrishLax]

Yes, he does. Still think he ends up at Michigan but we'll see. Would love to have him.

 

[TouchdownStevus]

hes talkin like decision might be coming, according to his twitter

My guess is that he ends up in the armpit of America, Ann Arbor.

 

[irishandy]

I'd be fine if he went anywhere but Michigan...I don't want to see him for the next 4-5 years.

 

[salveamicus]

His Twitter game of charades is getting rather old... I hope he comes to a decision soon and stops asking fans where he should go. Ultimately, he's the one who's going to decide, so why ask?

Hmm... maybe I should stop looking at his Twitter.

 

[koonja]

Don't worry about his recruitment, Jimmy's all over it.

Haven't seen a HS football game since my fresh yr at ND...looking forward to seeing @jordanpayton & Oaks play tonight w/my boy @WiserThanFew

 

[greyhammer90]

Just watched his film. That's either the tallest 6 ft 2 kid ever or he plays in a high school full of dwarfs.

 

[TheTurningPoint]

Id take him in a heartbeat.

 

[NDPhilly]

I feel like if we get Gunner we'll get him.

 

[TheTurningPoint]

ND Philly....you should change ur sig pic to Penn St...


**bad joke.

Nearing a decision.

Michigan lock.

 

[rtrn2glory]

if we land gunner could that change?

I think Jordan came back from ND with us on top and only way i think he would of got a commitment was if he committed right away now that he didnt i think he ends up with Michigan. I think we got to this party a little to late. No disrespect to Jordan but i think the staff feels good where they are with Nelson and thats fine with me.

 

[rtrn2glory]

gotcha...buzz cleared a little now he knows where his heart is.

 

[IrishLax]

Premium article on ISD says not going to commit until around the Army all-star game.

I'll also share this quote: "“I do it all for the followers,” he said. “If you’re following me then I think you should be a part of my life and what I’m thinking. That’s my whole point with the entire thing. With those tweets that I sent out, I’m just having a fun time. I love hearing what people have to say. I got some great comments. Michigan is dominating the Twitter.”"

So yeah... do we want to up our Twitter game? I think GB's read is correct... Michigan desperately needs him and for us he'd simply be another very good piece. I think all of the attention and push has put them back in front... but I wouldn't be surprised if we make a run depending on what happens with Darboh.

Would we rather have Payton or Darboh?

I don't know how BK feels or the site as a whole, but I would rather have Darboh. I like them both though, they both can ball. I don't want either to end up at scUM. Payton's brother (who he see's as a mentor) loves Notre Dame, so I think that we have a better chance than people think.


That's funny how he pretty much says that he tweets whatever his followers want to hear.

 

[IrishLax]

Darboh/Thomas are good because they both have the athleticism to play safety. As far as a pure WR I think I like Payton. He's not very fast on film, but he's big and skilled. Could be another Floyd depending on how he develops.

Honestly, I just really wish Payton or Darboh was in last year's class and we wouldn't even be having this discussion. the staff would've gone after them hard and they'd be signed up right now.

This kid is growing on me. He seems to be a quality kid. I was off him after his Michigan visit. But after reading some more about the person, not the player, he's the kinda kid that I want on the team. He's a great underdog story.

Very well said. I too was not a big fan...and now I am.

 

[Ricochet]

Player like Payton get hurt in the rankings because his game isn't sexy but he's the type of player that's going to make all the important catches.

Actually he reminds me very much of a bigger version of former USC WR Steve Smith. A player that always seemed to get the 1st down on 3rd down when it mattered. You know just that sturdy WR that just knows to be where and when and always seems to make the catch.

 

[TheTurningPoint]

They are making a documentary on his recruitment...shoukd be interesting!
