Lol, but I feel much better just getting it off my chest

So full chub mode then?

Well, let's not go into detail....

Is it Neal that's supposed to announce after NSD?

most likely

 

[SJIrish]

Does anybody ND is going to wait well into February for Neal.

 

[ohara831]

You find a way to make room for someone of his talent. If he wants to be Irish, he will be Irish.

 

[TerryTate]

That would depend on who commits Feb 1, right?

If ND were in his top 2, maybe they would

 

[NDinFL]

Just re-watched his film again....

My goodness it would be sweet to have him, DD, Greenberry, and Chris Brown out there together.... (assuming Neal lines up as H back)

Lol. Either way, that much speed and talent on the field with Golson slingin the rock around.... It's a beautiful thought.

ATH Davonte Neal talks in-home visit with Brian Kelly

 

[rocket66]

Neal said the visit went great. BK said they would wait as long as Neal needed to decide as he will have a place for him. No leader right now. "Everyone's equal".

 

[clashmore_mike]

Said Kelly's message was the same as on his visit in December, which is important because some people change who they are. Also said BK will wait for him for however long it takes to make a decision. Could make a decision after one of his upcoming visits or wait until after his last one.

ha no doubt.. just thought you'd mention your fellow Floridian first lol

 

[clashmore_mike]

ha yeah I posted the link and then started reading so others could see it too.

 

[BeauBenken]

Me and GB have been thinking/saying that we weren't out of this one for awhile (and in very good position). Yes, this is a knock at you guys saying he was an OSU lock.

 

[clashmore_mike]

I've thought all along ND had a great shot at him. Every OSU fan thinks he's a lock though. They also feel they everyone that visits will commit on the spot. Some were disappointed he didn't commit last weekend.

Neal Hosts Irish Staff

“If I get hurt I want to be somewhere where I am comfortable,” continued the four-star athlete. “If I’m comfortable around them I have someone to talk to, it’s like a second family.”

If he gets hurt at OSU he may not be there for to long.

Thanks for posting...

I thought it stood out how he was looking for a family type atmosphere with teammates and around campus

Edit: damn Philly, that was quick

 

[irish o'phile]

He is a well spoken young man. His statements seem to bode well for ND.

Does sound like he's got a good head on his shoulders.
Hard to tell, obviously, but it would seem like this will probably boil down to us and OSU, right?

It's amazing that a kid could have this concern and still consider playing for Urban. How could a kid so seemingly intelligent not understand that Urban is feeding him crap. If he tears his ACL as a freshman, then he can forget about playing football at a scholarship strapped (sanctions) OSU team. He will be replaced by the next great recruit. At that point, he will have an OSU degree to fall back on instead of a Notre Dame degree.

Notre Dame will not only offer him a better degree, but we will also honor his scholarship. If what he says is truly how he feels, this should be a no brainer.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

At least his head's in the right place. Warms my heart when recruits have the insight to consider important contingencies like injury, failure to get drafted, etc.

Someone should show him the OSU Press Conference from a few days ago where Irban literally said that they are going to play by SEC rules.

@NDatRivals:

Caught up with Davonte Neal after Brian Kelly's in-home visit. Urban visit delayed, so no Anchorman-style brawl in the yard.

Slimy bugger finds a way to get the last word.

 

[NDinFL]

I hate Urban Liar so. Damn. Much.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

@NDatRivals:

Neal on Kiel: "That’s a big, big factor. It’s a huge momentum gain just because that he can throw to me if I were to go to Notre Dame.”

The Kiel Effect.

 

[NDPhilly]

Awesome.
