Like Gunner Kiel, Greenberry, Sheppard, Teo Aaron Lynch, Ishaq Williams, and Stephon Tuitt right?

I didn't say that at all, never did I imply every recruit does it or that ND never gets top guys.

Why is Notre Dame #2 with all these recruits?

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Gunner Kiel Part 2

Let's move on at this point. We can't be holding two scholarships open as signing day approaches in the hopes something happens.

That's what marginal 5Ys are for. Golic's chances of coming back just improved tremendously.

 

[johnnykillz]

Something will happen.

This isn't good for us.

But a good deal is good for two different parties, not one...

This may be the way to go. Isn't it true a) that a huge part of Arik's high ranking is because of his upside at O-line, where he refuses to play, and b) he fell substantially in the latest Rivals rankings after a lackluster performance in the All-American game? Not that I don't want him to come to ND but I'm not sold that this guy is Ndamukong Suh or anything. I guess I'm already preparing myself in case they don't come to ND.

If/when we start winning again, our success rate with recruits of this caliber will go up.

I was directing that comment to him. As he had stated that.

[Irishman77]

so arik is no longer a EE?

 

[johnnykillz]

It appears Summer term is his goal now.

So yes and no.

Prep Blog: Armstead decision: Arik to wait until Letter of Intent Day, Armond returning to USC for classes

 

[Riddickulous]

This pushes Arik to Cal, IMO.

 

[Sweetness34]

It's Over! Oh well.

 

[Irishman77]

i feel things could change for the better after the in home Kelly visit

 

[Sweetness34]

This pushes Arik to Cal, IMO.

He goes to Washington now I bet, even though they aren't in the picture now, I'm sure they will be.

 

[ND_HAS_RISEN]

So does Armond have to pay his was this semester @ USC for grad school? Seems unlikely that USC would continue to pay for him after trying to leave. I'd also have to think that its against NCAA rules to have a paid visit to Auburn/Notre Dame while under scholarship to another school.. Some things just don't add up with the entire situation.

Still confused on how Armond can/is enrolling to USC's grad program after all of this..

 

[NDPhilly]

Did Armond petition the SEC yet?

According to Bryan Mathews, 247 Auburn insider, yes he has.

Fantastic.

Pretty sure the Pac-12 rule is still playing a large part, even if its only for armond, i cant see arik going without armond and Lupoi (recruiter and position coach) to Cal, i say whoever gets the transfer cleared for armond wins it, 50/50 if we and AU do

 

[ab2cmiller]

He's on scholarship. It's a full year scholarship. So even if he is telling them he's not planning on being back in the fall, they can't revoke his scholarship part way through the year unless he violated any school policies or conditions of his scholarship

 

[Damion704]

Yea big news.. This is y I do not all hyped up over a teenagers decision

 

[ACamp1900]

hmmm... well this confirms one thing for sure to me... and this is where we have been anyway... that Cal was it before the coaching meltdown... seems like that really threw them for a loop...

beyond that who knows... I do know the staff won't give up on this, so it is not over.

[NDPhilly]

Maybe Armond petitioned the SEC just in case we don't approve him. Trying to remain optimistic.
