So you're saying we have a chance... Man this and the Hammond news is too much to take!

Talk to my moms... College I'm attending Cal Golden Bears.... GO BEARS

How many moms does he have?

 

[BGIF]

California Golden Bears to pick up commitments from Jordan Payton, Shaq Thompson - ESPN

...

Thompson and Payton tweeted Friday that they plan on attending Cal. The tweets were later removed from their accounts, but both are expected to formally announce their decisions on national television Saturday during the U.S. Army All-American Bowl.

This young man is going to be really good.

 

[Rocky2820]

Flat out stud is what I'm seeing in the AA game. Wish nothing but the best for the kid. Looking forward to seeing him apply his immense talents against SC the next 3-4 years.

 

[Sweetness34]

ANIMAL!!!!!! Damn, wish he was going to ND!

 

[IrishLax]

Based on what Payton said about friendships and everything you have to think Shaq is an absolute lock at this point. Anyone know what point in the game he's making his announcement? Sorry if I missed it on previous pages.

 

[rtrn2glory]

kid's a freak athlete...will start immediately next year.

 

[MacIrish75]

My heart lept a little bit when he was running behind all the hats after he passed on the UW hat. Even though we knew where he was going, lol.

I had asked if we were his second choice in the AA thread. I hope so.

Unfortunately, Tosh went to another school Shaq was strongly considering. I'm not sure we're necessarily in any better of a spot, but if the class around him falls apart at Cal, I think he definitely looks around.

 

[WhoDeyIrish]

Well his recruiter just went to UW, so I'd imagine that's where he would go. I would love to say we have a shot, that would be awesome.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

If anything he will switch to UW.

I wouldn't get your hopes up on this one.

I think if Arik chooses ND today that will be huge with Shaq because they are tight

 

[OlympiaIrishFan]

Sorry to be a downer. But we have zero chance with him. Tosh lopoi just got lured away from cal and was hired by u of washington. Id bet if he decommirs it will to be to the huskies.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

he has friends at UW too.

 

[WhoDeyIrish]

If somehow we got Shaq Thompson though, my head would explode. Finally a safety and a difference maker at safety. Would have be exciting.

It's a business.. My family told me and have to do what's best for me


No idea what this means but it is obviously related to his recruitment

 

[Whiskeyjack]

UW is obviously much more likely than ND if Shaq flips. But the door is open a bit now. If we land Armstead, Kiel, etc. and get some momentum, we'd have a better shot at Shaq than we've ever had previously.

Isn't he tight with the cousins ?

 

[SoIll]

on the Bang Bang ND facebook group.. deotay mentioned how he was textn shaq last night.. and shaq knows "whats up" whatever you want to take into that go ahead..

 

[tadman95]

Would love to get him but I have never read anything here that made me feel like we were ever really in play.

Gbdomer = "hat on a table".

Just not going to get fired up on him. PLEEEEEEEAAAASE Shaq!

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Biggins just talked to Shaq and he said that Shaq is even closer with Wilcox at UW who was his brother's (and Tosh's for that matter) mentor. One of his best friends and former teammates James Sample is there as well.


Of course there have been stranger things that have happened...

See told you.


@tarafoxsports: Just got off the phone with 5-star S Shaq Thompson, who says he is now torn,"I am 50-50 between #Cal and #Washington."...

It surely doesn't hurt our chances with Arik or Yuri
