'12 MD ATH Ronald Darby (Florida State Signee)

[GoldenIsThyFame]

"@rivalsmike: CB Ronald Darby is at #FSU, Noles could be team to beat I hear. #Clemson, #Auburn in there, #LSU no offer yet, #NotreDame still barely alive"

Farrell is a hater so take it with a grain of salt.

 

[NDinL.A.]

Agreed and I am a firm believer that he reads this board.

Not sure, although he might. He definitely is a member of ISD, as he admitted in a recent tweet. That board has the sunniest disposition of any of the pay sites (and having said that, there are a few fatalists on that board who might just be the unhappiest people on the earth), and so a lot of the things you'll read there are the ways people think here as well.

As for Darby, you'll hear a ton of rumors about him for the next 3 weeks. Hopefully ND can hit a grand slam on their in-home. He picked us for a reason - we all have to remember that and hope that he remembers that as well...

Pretty clear staff thinks Florida St. is the team to beat here, which is why you don't let Darby sit on the visit for too long.

Barely alive my ***... I understand its not a great chance, and I probably wouldn't put money on him going to ND.. but were still in the race. Just the other day he said he wish he could cut himself in thirds and go to nd fsu and lsu.... this guy is such a hater.

Kelly, Diaco, and Cooks meeting with Darby on Monday for his in-home visit.

not a bad strategy...should prevent Ron from committing on the visit.

"so what do you think Ron-are you in?"

"oh sir i really like it here, but i have the nd coaches coming in monday so i cant give you an answer now, or monday, sir"



this prevents an FSU "afterglow" commit (hopefully)

 

[anarin]

Looks like a sports book bet now. No one knows!

Start the bets!

 

[rtrn2glory]

can coach kelly still visit with darby after monday?

 

[NDinL.A.]

can coach kelly still visit with darby after monday?

No, he gets only one in-home visit...

 

[rtrn2glory]

has he already used the in home or the school only gets one in home??

if we only get one in home and he isn't there, i'm going to be very disappointed.

 

[NewEnglandGuy]

You'd think he would be there at some point during the visit. He went in with Tuitt, no reason to think Alford/Martin and Kelly wouldn't join Diaco and Cooks. We will find out more as it gets closer.

Coach gets one, assistants get plenty more (not sure how they are limited).

 

[koonja]

NCAA Recruiting Rules. Official Visits.

has coach kelly used his yet?? thanks

would love to see a whole staffer...especially since us landing armsteads isn't looking too good.

If Darby does read this board I just want to wish him luck in the future. I really do wish these kids the best. I just hope his carreer in sports goes as planned for him no matter where he goes, buuuuuuut if things don't go as planned I hope he remembers the reasons why notre dame had the opportunities for success in all aspects not just one or the other. The grass may be greener on the other side, but if you care about everything you can make your lawn just as nice, and still respect your decisions.

 

[DANsanity15]

Tuitt decommitted, committed to GT, then recommitted all in a few weeks.. You can't count ND out yet..

 

[mkg77]

Read that this visit is just Diaco and Cooks. Smart I think to save Kelly's in-home for later.

It was actually in the span of about a day.

 

[rikkitikki08]

I still think we have a good chance, we have to stick with what we have and continue to work hard on the recruiting front. Also not that its darby's fault but i really hate high school all star games for this reason. Kids start to talk and peer pressure comes in, all though i suppose that has worked in ND's favor a few times as well

 

[Ben E.]

In the words of the great athlete, motivational speaker, and transcendent icon Kenny Powers,"I play real sports I am not trying to be the best at exercising. " forget all that track stuff Ron, play football at ND!!! lol!

Exactly, we want the last word, not Jimbo.

Not sure if the cards are in our favor. I am sure the FSU people took him to that basketball game and he got to experience that wild scene. If you did not see it, they actually removed the North Carolina players and coaches from the bench with 14 seconds left to help protect them from the mayhem that followed after the FSU blowout win.

Hah that's pretty funny. I didn't even think about that. Oh well.

 

[GBdomer]

Had a great visit to FSU. Says FSU and Auburn with Clemson and Notre Dame kind of being in there.
Hes not coming back in my strong opinion.
per fsu rivals

 

[jerboski]

Last shot in my opinion is this home visit with Diaco, hope he can work his magic however I'm not holding my breath.

Yeah he seems really enamored with FSU. Too bad he didn't spark interest in them earlier so it had time to cool.

Having a weird case of déjà vu right now.

 

[irishtrinity]

How can he pass up being Rocket 2..

 

[irishandy]

Dr. Diaco does it again??? I have a good feeling about Diaco visiting Darby, let's hope for some good news after his visit.

 

[jerboski]

Diaco has a reputation to uphold! So he better deliver dammit!
