2012 United States Army All-American Game

[raiseherGOLSONblue]

Shaq Thompson
Yuri Wright
Arik Armstead
Jordan Payton
Taylor McNamara
Zach Banner
Elijah Shumate

All somewhat possible ND commits playing in the game. Any that I missed? Any chance that a couple of these guys commit during the game? Lets discuss it here on the (unofficial) 2012 United States Army All-American Game Thread...All becaue I'm a typical, pathetic, hopeful Notre Dame fan and cannot sleep tonight due to this game, being able to watch my 1st ND hockey game of the season vs The University of Minnesota (My alma mater, but don't hate me for it i'm Irish all the way) on the B1G Network, and ND Mens BBall vs Louisville. BIG DAY FOR IRISH NATION LETS STAY OPTIMISTIC PPL!!! YAAAAY

* I'm hoping for a Shumate commit at the very least.

I agree i think we get Shumate. Watch out for Cal they might have a big day.

Devin Fuller

Shumate and Fuller are definite possibilities. I'd love to see Armstead, Wright, or Banner suprise me though.

 

[ThePiombino]

Shumate is announcing today, right? Any others of the aforementioned announcing as well? Wright announcing has been debunked I believe, but any others?

*EDIT: Read as "any others that we don't already know are going to Cal"*

 

[notredomer23]

We're out with banner. No chance we get Payton. Thompson is 5% chance and macnamara is gone cuz he has no offer. Only players we have realistic chances at besides our commits are Armstead wright fuller and shumate, shumate being most likely

 

[irish4ever]

It would be sweet to see at least 1 recruit announce his commitment to ND on TV (i.e. Shumate), but 2 or 3 would be just awesome!

As much as I would LOVE to see Shaq pull a ND hat, I would be more than happy with the four we're still in play with.

BTW, for anyone who's interested- game is at 1:00 PM EST on NBC.

Agreed. Don't think there is anyway we get shaq but apparently tee has been recruiting him relentlessly

Is Fuller deciding today?

 

[Count_on_Me]

Is Armstead an EE?

 

[Count_on_Me]

Tosh Lupoi must be a miracle worker.

I read Ellis ,Payton,Armstead,Thompson all going to Cal.

Better there than going to SCum.

I'll be at the U tonight for the game! GO IRISH, BEAT GOPHERS!

Is Fuller deciding today?

I believe he wants to take a couple more visits before deciding, hopefully one of which is to South Bend.

 

[raiseherGOLSONblue]

Why do I still think Cal won't be a BCS contender even after landing all these recruits. It seems like the same old song n' dance every year w/ Cal and Clemson both. It did finally work out for Clemson (kinda) this year getting an Orange Bowl bid but it makes you wonder what are they pitching to these kids every year to land so many big names?

 

[anarin]

does anyone know if this is gonna be streamed on nbc's site?

Cheer extra loud for me brotha!!! Wish I could be there back in BEAUTFIUL Minneapolis, MN but I'm stuck up here in God forsaken Alaska

I hate the Goofers so much. Only team to sweep us this season, but we are on a 15 game unbeaten streak and #1 in the country, so it's not all bad. Go Dogs!

I'll also be at the game tonight. I'm going with my dad, brother, and friend. Although my friend is rooting for MN even though we invited him. Haha Doesn't matter, Irish gonna kick some gopher a**.

+1

We should land Shumate today. Wright won't be deciding which makes sense if he wants to take visits.

Cal should land Thompson and Payton. This will continue to mean little to nothing because these guys will suck up as much attention as possible until NSD.

Fuller is not deciding today. Still has visits to take. Hopefully one to ND although it has not been set up.

Jarron Jones is slowed by a leg injury. Keep that in mind when you watch him play.

K Russell is playing WR. Explosive in the open field. Should be fun to watch.

We have lotsa Minnasoodans on this board I see ya you betcha!!!

 

[TheTurningPoint]

Shumate will be Irish about 99.99.% sure and is announcing at the start of the 4th.

Payton/Shaq are Cal Bears. Although Shaq as stated earlier, he would be the one to not choose Cal. My guess is its a 2 team race with washington. His brothers coach from college is now at Washington. I also think he would like to go to ND, but its not on the West Coast. But we will see how well Russell has done this week.

Either way should be a great day and game!
