Who knows. I'm still unclear whether the "extra classes" thing was an ND problem or a general problem. Even though it was reported that the ND coaches visit on the same day as the announcement about the two classes was "unrelated" I have a hunch that it wasn't. Then immediately after the visit his order changes to put Cal on top. Might be another case of ND admissions shooting us in the foot (Byron Marshall, etc. etc. etc.) but we'll never know. There's no way a reporter or anyone but Arik himself would ever be able to confirm such a thing.

Anyways, I'm Mr. Optimist here and I think as of a couple days ago it was basically already game over in Cal's favor. But I guess we'll wait and see.

This could be one of the EE scenarios that BK talked about. I'm hoping so.

Sweet! Love it .... there still IS a chance! YES!!!!!!!!

jimmymac · Dec 17, 2011

I would say this is a great thing, an it can't be bad, but I also remember Keith Marshall saying a similar thing but obviously he was going to UGA.

Irish2015 · Dec 19, 2011

Arik tweeted about finishing his online class. Nice to know that it at least keeps him in the fold to EE possibly.

PANDFAN · Dec 21, 2011

Arik Armstead won't be signing in the early period according to his pops and the final off. visit will go to #Auburn or #Washington
about 12 hours ago

ND_HAS_RISEN · Dec 21, 2011

Darn. EE gave us our only real opportunity IMO..

beryirish · Dec 21, 2011

I get less confident as each day goes on. Would love for ND to grab in this stud but my money got transferred to Cal. Hope I lose it all.

Pandfan where are you seeing that?

Just looked at the ESPN Recruiting page and all "On The Trail" postings from today and did not see what you were referring to. Could you please provide a link/source?

Twitter

Irish2015 · Dec 21, 2011

is any other site reporting this? It just seems odd because he tweeted last night about trying to finish his online class and i feel like he would have tweeted something about not early enrolling. Also is the "early signing period" the same as an early enrolee because i have never seen it called that before.

IrishLax · Dec 21, 2011

I think it has to do with the early signing period that is today or something... not actually EEing... but I'm unsure.

jason_h537 · Dec 21, 2011

I thought th early signing was for JUCO's, EE's are enrolled once they start class

See, that's what I thought too.... but someone told me differently today.... so now I'm just super confused all around...

What I always thought is what you just said though.

To my knowlege he tweeted about it being the first day to sign a couple days ago. I don't think that means anyhing about Early enrolling though.

So does this just confirm what we all know, and that is ESPN sucks at recruiting news?

They can eval, but suck at everything else IMO.

Based on the link below, I think they could sign the papers today, but I am not sure under what circumstances.

That's news to me. They had to raise Greenberry up 65 spots from their initial rankings because they didn't pay attention to any camps but their own. They still have him ranked far lower than the rest of the sites at #19.

EsPN are a bunch of hacks.

I would look at them as more hit and miss. Sure they missed on him, but they also have Fergie pretty high.

They have their system, but I usually feel they are no better or worse than the other sites.

This is off topic but with ESPN's continued domination of sports programming and them constantly demanding more money from providers, there is serious talk that ESPN will have to be offered as a separate package to keep prices low on DirecTV and more. Would you pay for an ESPN package?

Seriously? You would miss a lot of games.

I wouldn't like it, but I would.
