Bleacher Report is total trash... That being said:

Do you sincerely think that ND is having their track coaches meet with Darby? (along with BK and Cooks)

while i completely agree...it had the track stuff listed about ND placing 30 something while clemson was only 22 but of course..fsu was top 5

The article was completely stupid. By that logic, the coaches would have to make a decision of how much effort they put into recruiting a kid who openly states he wants to play for a National Championship contender, since for the past 10+ years we havent been one. We would also have to decide how much effort we want to put into recruiting a kid from out of state who mentions distance and a preference to stay close to home will factor into his decision.
The JOB of these coaches is to put the best possible players, and best possible team out on the field. If there is a stud out there who is willing to listen to what they have to say, it is their job and responsibility to the university to put the full court press on until said recruit says thanks but no thanks, and even then they should not give up until it is clear and obvious they have no chance and the recruit would prefer they backed off.

The rankings are accurate (anyone could look those up)

I am curious if this writer is just blowing smoke about the track coaches going to meet with Darby

Sorry bro, I definently didn't mean to come across that way.

I appreciate the link, and definently hope that BK is using all available resources (track coaches) to get Darby back

Correct, but he also said BK better lock him up before the trip and I was just saying that I would rather BK use his in home after Darby visits FSU, like we did with Tuitt last year.

Good point but i was thinking more Ishaq and locking him up so as Ronald doesnt feel the need to even visit FSU

I wonder if this firing had anything to do w Clemson falling out of Darby's top 3 (provided that info is accurate).

Ehhhh I'm thinking this had more to do with it:

I realize they suck on D, but you can hear Sweeney giving him the line that he's a big piece of the solution. Clearly the 70 got the Ax to fall on Steele.

Supposedly still very much in the mix... other teams considered are LSU (who hasn't offered yet) and FSU. Need to get him on the phone with Lynch.

Someone in the Bang Bang ND Gang group posted "Darby tweeted "wish I could chop myself in three and go to ND LSU and FSU."

I dont think darby has a twitter and this wasnt his fbook status so idk where it came from, but if true definitely a strong sign that were still in it.

If he's taken visits to us and been committed to us and still hasn't visited LSU or FSU, but has them 'equal' to us, according to the tweet, that probably isn't great. If he already has LSU and FSU on par with us, they have a good chance of moving ahead after they roll out the red carpet for him. Fingers crossed.

ND still offers a lot of advantages over both FSU and LSU. If Kelly's in-home goes well, I could easily see him flipping back.

Very true... All we can do is hope the in-home goes very well with with him
