'12 WA RB Keivarae Russell (Notre Dame Signed LOI)

[eNDzone]

I will bet anyone a million Vbucks he is Irish.

 

[IrishInFl]

I will bet anyone a million Vbucks he is Irish.

It's on.

 

[Kansas Irish]

from SB Nation:

"Took notes on what schools fit me the best and which ones would benefit me in the long run, as far as football and opportunities outside of football," Russell said.

BK has mentioned this type of recruitment in many interviews and la few of last year's recruits said providing opportunities outside of football has been a factor. I think it's looking good.

Pretty sure he's going to go for ND this week, so keep the obnoxious statements out of his thread.

EDIT: Post TT is talking about was deleted, and all posts quoting the post from that idiot have been deleted as well - NDinL.A.

TT with the "let's not count our chickens before they hatch" hammer. Merry XMAS TT.

Wow three strong commitments. TT your becomming my Santa Clause!!!!

 

[TerryTate]

2 days...

 

[Damion704]

You are that confident that he is IRISH?

 

[TerryTate]

70%

 

[eNDzone]

More like 95%.

 

[beryirish]

70%

More like 95%.

Either way they are both passing grades in my eyes...

 

[NYMIKE6]

So theres a 82.5% chance he's Irish....

 

[irish4ever]

So theres a 82.5% chance he's Irish....

Straight average yes, weighted average could be more or less than that! I hope that it's MORE .... the Irish would love to have him!!!

I'm curious about the high confidence in Russell committing to ND over UW. I reside in the PNW, and the popular opinion in local blogs seems to be the exact opposite of what I'm reading here (of course there's local bias).

Call me paranoid...I just have an uneasy feeling about this one! Go Irish!

I was very skeptical. I didn't see him leaving the state. But every premium site is putting him as an ND lean right now, and some of the tea leaves add up.

Russel would be a huge get, so I'm crossing my fingers here that all of the "experts" are right.

His comments about knowing where he wanted to go earlier in the month, in concert with Mahone's tweet last Monday, seem to indicate there's a better chance Russell is leaning towards ND than at least was previously thought.

When is Keivarae announcing?

Do anyboby know, what paid insider are saying nd or wash.

I just don't know how we are ahead for this kid i thought we stopped recruiting him at one point! You sure Mahone wasn't blowing smoke? Kid has been a Washington lean from the very beginning

.... where did you hear that? If I'm not mistaken he was quoted roughly a month ago saying we were recruiting him the hardest.

I think he is thinking of Byron Marshall (when we cooled on him after the academics weren't there).

Just got his RB's crossed.

I will cross my fingers as well, but I am not getting my hopes up. I don't know why but I am still not feeling it.

 

[Mavericknyc1980]

I think everyone is letting the Kiel announcement get them down. We are still having a great recruiting class. I feel this kid will be Irish.

 

[BeauBenken]

Yea, I didn't think we'd be landing Russell, but hell, I'll be happy if we do!

I think we do.
