'12 OH DE/OLB Ifeadi Odenigbo (Northwestern Verbal)

[Buster Bluth]

I didn't think we had a chance with him.

So, January 7th we could have Shumate, Wright, and Ifeadi?

I would lose. my. mind.

 

[IrishLax]

We're not going to get Ifeadi unless I've missed some game-changing update on my premium site/Twitter hiatus. NW has been on top for awhile now and I honestly don't know how hard ND has even been pushing for him these last couple weeks. I think Kelly still has a January in home visit on tap so that could change a lot... if he hasn't already decided.

Although, ND is at least 2 hours closer to home than NW, FWIW.

Regardless of where the kid decides to go, I respect him for truly prioritizing academics.

I am with you. Not holding my breath here.

+1

I am surprised that Urban Meyer is not all over Ifeadi. Would be a nice surprise if Kelly can pull off a nice in home visit into another ND recruit.

He doesn't like OSU, academics.

 

[magogian]

He doesn't like OSU, academics.

And that is why I love Ifeadi. I would love for him to come to ND, but NW is great choice for him as well. NW could sure use him.

 

[ColinKSU]

Good for the kid if he chooses Northwestern. It's a heck of a school and was one I wish I could have attended when I was deciding on a college.

I mean, he's going to win six games a year there, but I think it's pretty obvious at this point that he cares more about academics. Northwestern's definitely a great fit in that regard. I really liked the campus too.

 

[Buster Bluth]

I would think that smart families like the Odenigbo family do not decide colleges based on two hours of driving time haha

 

[GBdomer]

If anything we are 3rd for Ifeadi. His visit didnt click.

 

[rtrn2glory]

hope we're wrong and he's irish...by far my favorite still on the board.

Tyler James @TJamesISR 8m

Odenigbo has said he will announce his decision Saturday. #NotreDame, #Northwestern, and #Stanford are the choices

 

[beryirish]

He is looking like a complete beast at the UA game. From what I saw he had 2 sacks just rushing by the defender.

 

[BeauBenken]

Finger crossed, but not holding my breathe.

 

[beryirish]

Good thing..don't want to see you go that way BB..that would be tragic.

 

[cLaRk_JoNeS]

lol the way his mom Pronounced Stanford and Notre Dame was almost forgotten it seemed, id say He Gone.

Was a lil video about him just now during the game.

 

[beryirish]

Just did a 3 minute pre-recorded on IO and his family. Pretty sweet.

If it hasn't already been mentioned he said he would love to work for Google or EA Sports.

 

[felkey72]

Still favorite prospect left. ESPN just had a short segment about him

 

[BeauBenken]

To me, I'm afraid he ends up at Stanford...

 

[Ndaccountant]

To me, I'm afraid he ends up at Stanford...

I think NW. Distance will play a factor.

 

[BeauBenken]

I think NW. Distance will play a factor.

I should have said "I'm afraid if he ends up at Stanford..."

EDIT: You know what? I'll still stick with Stanford as where I think he goes too.

First college mentioned in that video and a pretty stellar computer department, I'm sure. And he already said he wants to work somewhere in Cali.

 

[NDFANnSouthWest]

I think its Stanford, NW, and then ND.

 

[Ricochet]

I really like IO but IMO he's not a good fit at all for ND's 3-4 defense.

The upside is there to be special but he's more athlete than football player at the moment and he's years away from helping but that said it would've been nice to get him and more or less build him from scratch but with limited scholarships available I'm not heartbroken on missing out on him.

 

[NYMIKE6]

Every year theres a crop of kids that are "tweeners" could play d-end in a 4-3 or Olb. in a 3-4 this years class had some good ones. It's good your not heartbroken cause look out in the 2013 class theres just some freakish athletes that would kill in our defense.

Wow. That is a surprise.

YES. I still think we trail Northwestern than.

 

[PLACforever]

If that's true, here's to hoping he wants revenge so he comes to ND to beat up on them for 3-4 years...

 

[IrishLax]

That is absolutely wack. I thought he had really good grades. Looks like NW for Ifeadi... do we play them while he'll be there?
