Seriously? You would miss a lot of games.

I wouldn't like it, but I would.

Not with espn 3 on our xbox. That is already a paid add on. That'd be my alternative.

I was thinking that too, I hate ESPN, but may pony up during college football season

 

[stlnd01]

ESPN's pretty much the only reason I finally broke down and got cable. If I could get it alone, I would. But to pay extra? Yow.

As for the college football coverage on their website, they're more comprehensive than anyone else, but lost a couple of their best (Feldman, Forde) this season.

On of the USC boards on rivals it seemed to imply that Arik set a date, but I couldn't read it. Is this true?

I'd be interested in this answer as well.

Arik Armstead @arikarmstead 2h

This right here could very well be my last high school game

 

[Buster Bluth]

He's thinking of coming back for a fifth year of high school? hah

Hahah i would love to read into this and get excited, but I can't bring myself to do it.

^This.

It's funny how much people underestimate us here. If he doesn't take a trip to Auburn, we're 1 of his top 2. If he does take a trip to Auburn, we're 1 of his top 3.

I will absolutely take those odds for the #1 player in the country.

PS. The concept of a "Cal lock" is beyond absurd.

Here's hoping!

 

[Irish2015]

No No I'm all for being an eternal optimist and I firmly believe we have a great shot with him, but wasn't it you that said as the days go by our chances decrease dramatically and Kelly also said he had all the EE's taking care of like two weeks ago?

 

[NDPhilly]

I believe we will get one commit this cycle that we all didn't think we would get, whether it be Armstead, Poole, Agholor, or Garnet I think the staff pulls it off with one of them.

 

[NDinToledo]

Has anyone heard of a announcement date? I thought he was going to EE and possibly play Basketball?

 

[jimmymac]

I heard he will be an EE, and he is taking the classes he needs to do online.
Edit: I infer this info from his tweets, which always talk about finishing those online classes.

 

[PLACforever]

If he were to Commit right now and EE at ND, how soon could he join the basketball team?

 

[Grahambo]

I heard he will be an EE, and he is taking the classes he needs to do online.

Add that to his tweet the other night saying he thinks the basketball game he played in was his last in high school, yeah. Assuming of course, an EE from him plays into our hands.

Heck yeah, our odds are way lower than what they were at one point a couple weeks ago. No question about it. Still in the race though... and Cal has not helped themselves at all. I don't think anyone knows right now where he is going to end up.

But we're one of the very few players remaining in this race. After he visits or doesn't visit Auburn we should immediately know more about how much of a player we will be and if there is any chance of him EEing at ND.

 

[jimmymac]

He stated he ann. Saturday ,because school he's EE start January 17.I try find link.

I translated this to mean he will announce Saturday. I havent heard that but that should be interesting.

Big Lou willing to make a # switch for the good of the cause... love it!

And didn't Nix take #9 as an homage to his friendship with Rudy? I hope Arik realizes the significance of his offer.

You're right. That's a big offer from another big man.

 

[koonja]

Still waiting for someone to bet one vbuck to my 40,000 that he doesn't come to ND. Send me the bet and in the mean time don't get your hopes up. Hope I'm wrong.

EDIT: If you want to bet him, take it to PM. Thanks.

 

[Irish2015]

Live chat with Arik coming soon. Don't get weird people Rivals.com Football Recruiting - Army Bowl: Arik Armstead live chat

 

[pkt77242]

ND is getting some mentions in his Rivals live chat.

First for him being closest to the B-Ball coaches at Cal and ND and then for which teams current commits are working him the hardest (again Cal and ND).

 

[Irishnuke]

Says ND's and Cal's commits have been recruiting him the hardest.

 

[SirStrutsAlot]

lookin like a cal-ND battle the way he's talking..

 

[WhoDeyIrish]

I actually got my question answered in this live chat.
