'12 FL DB Brian Poole (Florida Signed LOI)

[Who'saWildManNow]

His comments in that ESPN article seem pretty loud and clear to me.

I'm excited to hear the staff talk about this class.

The tweet is after the article. He will have our LOI on Wed, there have been weirder things happen on NSD than him actually faxing it in.

I think he will still end up a Gator, but I think his action of having our LOI speaks volumes.

Word. Tis true. It is odd that he says that but will have both LOIs. Could his parents just be forcing him to have it there just in case??

I think him having both LOIs speaks volumes. If he was as solid to UF as that quote implies then he would not have both LoIs available to sign.

 

[Emcee77]

God this is weird. I don't even know what to make of that tweet. Poole said he is going to UF. Direct quote. I guess Holt just doesn't know about the article? Why would he pretend to keep us in suspense?

 

[Whiskeyjack]

They like jerking ND fans around? Any mention of ND is certain to double their page views?

It's an ESPN article. I will leave it at that.

If he ended up Irish, I don't care if his parents used voodoo or black magic to get him here. lol

Here's a analogy:

Deontay Greenberry keeps saying he's 100% Irish even after his visit to SC. All he tells reporters is that he is going to ND . A day before NSD we here that Tay B will have a USC LOI with him to when he signs.

What would this site do if that happend?

YUP!!!!!! We are a national fan base, we probably buy more subscriptions than any other team out there......just putting ND in a story will generate clicks on your website, these clowns are very smart, they know this and toy with us........

I suspect the Poole crap is nothing more than an attempt to drive interest in his recruitment......maybe he is live on one of the websites signing and they need to drum up some excitement..(just a guess) but I think it's time to move on from this kid.......

'S all drama for the next 24 hours.

 

[JughedJones]

That's pretty darn hilarious.

 

[Emcee77]

lol awesome

Not sure why the LOI tweet adds much to our level of hope. It just says Poole will "receive" LOIs from both schools. That doesn't tell me that Poole is playing up this fact, or that he's planning to hold some big signing ceremony filled with intrigue where he dramatically picks one or the other. Am I missing something?

Also, while I can get that he wouldn't necessarily want to tell Florida reporters that he's switching to ND, I also don't get why, if he's intending to switch to ND, he chooses to talk to Florida reporters at all, much less tell them that he's 100% Gator and is going to sign with them on Wednesday. Why blatantly lie if not necessary? Instead he could just lay low and send his LOI to ND on Wednesday. Recall that even if he were to pick ND for various good reasons, Florida is still his team of heart, which makes it very unlikely he would decommit in a way that would rub it in their faces unnecessarily.

If you're missing something I'm missing it too. I've been really optimistic about Poole (not even sure why) but it's tough to imagine him picking ND now ... it would be the biggest kick in the crotch to Gator Nation ever ...

 

[Emcee77]

I mean he didn't even have to do anything to get our LOI, did he? We probably just sent it to him.

 

[NDPhilly]

Jake Brown on II says that from everything he has heard we are still in it.

 

[irishfan]

Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but does anyone know if Poole is 18 or 17? Just wondering because I'm pretty sure his parents have to sign the LOI if he's under 18, and if they favor ND, then who knows.

This is just another fine reason why I support an early signing period.

 

[Ricochet]

He's not coming, never was. He listened to ND most likely at the urging of his parents but his heart is with the Gators.

Don't get me I want to be wrong and would gladly eat my crow as well as all the other doubts as well but it's for good reason because he's say's he a Gator, they're insiders say he's not flipping and 9/10 of ND insiders say he's not flipping.

To me this is nothing more than the pay sites being able to create more articles out of nothing more than visits and assuming a whole.

I agree, the fact that he will have a ND LOI doesn't mean anything. Darby probably will have one from ND too and we all know there's no chance of him signing with ND.

Feel better?

Agreed.

We should be looking at it like this: If he somehow decides to flip at the last second, it'd be an amazing coup to add to an already solid class. If he doesn't, well we never realistically expected anything from the kid anyway.

It's comical how Irish nation went from glee and "WE MOMENTUM NOW" after Kiel signed to... well, this.

 

[NDinL.A.]

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?

He's signing with the rest of his teammates. Has nothing to do with building suspense or anything like that.

Let's go Brian Poole! Come to the Gold!

 

[rocket66]

Poole's quote from the Sapp update late last night: "I know where I'm going".

It's definitely interesting that he isn't coming right out saying Florida..

 

[rtrn2glory]

didn't he say above though that he was signing with fla.

If he chooses ND it would be one of the great signing day flips in history. Everything to this point indicates Florida and it sounds like he is not coming right out and saying so because he wants to keep whatever signing day drama there is left to his announcement. Just glad we are finally finding out tomorrow.

Considering the Armsteads were ours until Armond didn't get the clearance from the ND doctors.
