'12 FL DB Brian Poole (Florida Signed LOI)

[rtrn2glory]

signing day is gonna be about watching to see if guys don't choose schools on our schedule over who chooses us...maybe i'm wrong and we'll get some good news, always nice to have a little hope i guess.

 

[SoDakDomer]

I Also don't see Poole flipping, between him being a long time Florida verbal and always reconfirming that and also doing the gator chomp at his all star game, it seems like a serious up hill battle

 

[phork]

Wait, where is the big surprise we have been hearing so much about?!

 

[rtrn2glory]

im hoping, but not putting all the eggs in the basket, not gonna bash the guy like others like to do here

All along I thought it was Neal... either that, or Darby has been ours all along, and is just messing with FSU to get revenge on them lol. (I don't actually think that, but that would be hilarious lol).

What I don't understand is the disparity of information between different sources. You have Irish insiders saying he has already flipped or is flipping. You have Irish mods saying everything from we've got a good shot to we've got a long shot. You have Florida people saying there is a 0% chance of a flip. I don't think there is anyone who truly knows what is going to happen and if Poole was for 100% staying a Gator he surely would've said something pro Gator after the in home with Florida coaches. His twitter feed used to be all Florida stuff all the time... does that mean he's going to be Irish? Absolutely not. But all of the crosstalk seems to indicate that no one knows what is going to happen and we'll just have to stay tuned.

Correct or not, the tip was that a big surprise was coming on NSD- not before.

He's just being passive-aggressive. He's clearly still feeling the butt hurt from his encounter with TP. Do yourself a favor, while you ARE correct, don't take the bait.

What Irish insiders are currently saying that?

National Signing Day, which is this Wednesday, chill out, no need to be taking shots at TP on this thread too. and if the surprise is Neal, it could be after NSD...

 

[GBdomer]

never mind now Nee see's him signing with the Gators.

 

[Emcee77]

what a tease

 

[zbikowski88]

Chris Nee can't make up his mind

 

[zbikowski88]

Stupid question, but who is Chris Nee?

Covers recruiting in Florida for Rivals

 

[rocket66]

Maybe he knows something but doesn't want to ruin it for Poole.

 

[NYMIKE6]

Maybe he knows something but doesn't want to ruin it for Poole.

Or just wanted ratings to spike....

 

[ND NYC]

thats Nee's way of telling us something without telling us







i hope LOL

 

[FLDomer]

Nee is pretty legit, I am hoping he is here! Brian you will look sick with our Gold Helmet on!

 

[Irish2015]

never mind now Nee see's him signing with the Gators.

Well this blows haha

 

[FLDomer]

DANG IT!! But Brian still would look better in Blue and Gold over Orange and Blue

And why the flip flop GB, any reason Nee switched?

According to Nee's twitter :

RivalsCNee Chris Nee
I expect Brian Poole to sign with Florida. Misspoke in the chat and said Notre Dame at one point. He will ink with the Gators. #NSDFatigue

 

[FLDomer]

According to Nee's twitter :

thanks, but it still sucks! Painful mis-speaking chris nee, you're killen me!!!

 

[woolybug25]

How does a Florida reporter accidently say that one of their best prospects in their class is flipping to a rumored school?

Sounds like either backtracking or clammering for web hits.

 

[RuntheBall]

I took it as a positive that the reason he made the mistake was due to "fatugue". IMO we are obviously on the radar if he "accidentally" put us down as where Poole will sign. "fatigue" seems like an easy excuse as to why he would have said ND.
Of course, all speculation; but, thats how I took it.

It's about the possible followers he gains with that or the possible clicks a story of his gets. Same thing with Poole trying to play coy but not really be coy. Once he officially announces, he loses a lot of his following.

My interpretation of it anyways. You don't let slip that he flipped to ND or something like that. That's not something that accidentally comes out. Say the f bomb on live tv is a slip up. Saying somebody committed to a totally different school is another.

 

[ND NYC]

maybe Nee didnt remember that he was to keep his mouth shut on the flip until nsd

 

[IrishLax]

New article on ESPN that, unless it has an old quote, shows Poole is staying with Florida.

ESPN 150 CB Poole not looking around - On The Trail Blog - ESPN

In the free portion it states: "Notre Dame has continued to come at me pretty hard but on Wednesday I'm signing with Florida," Poole said. "There's no secret to that."

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

It's like they are toying with us...

@Bryan_Holt: #Gators Rivals100 CB commit Brian Poole will sign at 12:45 p.m. on #NSD. Will receive LOI from #Florida and #NotreDame. #RivalsNSD

So then why is he waiting until 12:45 in the afternoon of Signing Day?
I don't know. Just trying to keep hope alive, eh?

whoa... I hope he sits down with his parents and go over the pro's and con's of each school and makes a well thought out, smart, 40 year decision.

Good luck, Brian.
