True, but there's going to be less and less surprises in recruiting from here on out thanks to twitter. - per kuehnja

Really - seems like twitter has nothing to do with it with some recruits... Ask Armstead about Cal, Ask Thompson who made a pact with Armstead to play at OR and picked WASH, I do not see how twitter has anything to do with those recruits picking their final schools and they are both 5 star in my book...

you can quote by pressing the blue quote button at the bottom right corner of someones posts. thought id help out

GoIrish2917 · Jan 31, 2012

Those the want the drama and the attention will flock to twitter, no doubt there, but there are certainly going to be recruits that were not raised that way and we will not learn their decision until NSD...

Ahh - thanks Jimmy!!!

DB Brian Poole MT @JustPooleN_It: Cant satisfy everyone with the decisions we make in life but long as im Happy that's all that matters!

If I was forced to decipher this I would say it is not positive for us

jimmymac · Jan 31, 2012

He retweeted something about signing with UF and talked to a couple of tweeps about UF...

NDPhilly · Jan 31, 2012

IDK. Cant satisfy everyone as in cant satisfy UF fans?

irishff1014 · Jan 31, 2012

I have a strong feeling he is 100% committed to the Gators.

Assuming the rumors that his parents were pro-ND were true, I tend to think it's directed to them. We'll see tomorrow I guess

I actually think this refers to the preceding tweet: "I wonder how many followers I will lose tomorrow" He knows whichever way he goes a lot of people will be disappointed.

Yeah, this is the really bad part. Someone says something to him about putting on a UF shirt and Poole says, "Make sure I see it."

Yes. Totally. He is an awfully devious one if he goes anywhere but UF.

But are you really sure?

cLaRk_JoNeS · Jan 31, 2012

hes retweeted a couple ppl saying hes gonna look good in gator gear. 1 of you twitter users should say same bout ND gear and see if he retweets it.

koonja · Jan 31, 2012

There's literally not one person close to him or person of importance that thinks he's going to ND. Time to move on.

TerryTate · Jan 31, 2012

Except for his parents

Well his parents should become facebook friends with him, because he's currently blowing up about FLA on there and was earlier tweeting about FLA.

No they just would like him to it sounds like.

Hasn't retweeted my Go Irish tweet to him yet

I feel ya. His f-book status is about tomorrow, and he's liked every single pro-gator tweet. I threw out there a lonely 'ND baby!' but it got neglected as well.

That fat lady is at the podium and just waiting for the band.

gkIrish · Jan 31, 2012

While I don't think he wants to go to ND, you can't underestimate the power of an early morning cry by his parents. Potential game-changer.

And if the tweets are a "guarantee" that he is a Gator, then he might as well just say it clearly---which he hasn't.

I just have a weird feeling that something will happen in the morning to change his mind. Te'o style.

But he has. He's been quoted saying it today, I believe. It's a couple pages back.

Seriously? How much more clearly must he say it??? This reeks of the Tee Shepard deal where he said 50 times he was all Irish but people just kept running with whatever they wanted to run with and eventually the kid just realizes ppl are going to say and think whatever they are going to say and think...and gives up trying to get people to believe. His parents obviously want him at ND and that is the lonely string of home that everybody is clinging to. Brian has clearly stated he is a gator..NUMEROUS times.

Te'o4Heisman · Jan 31, 2012

When it comes to recruiting, lots of ppl on this board remind me of one of my ex-gf's. Chick just wouldnt accept it and get it through her head when I told her it was over and time to move on.

This is what I thought at first, too, and it's why I was initially worried, in spite of my own common sense and everything he's done for months, that Greenberry was considering flipping to someone else -- not necessarily Houston, but someone, because why else would he not answer Brian Dohn OR JSapp when both asked him directly if he was still committed to the Irish? Just say yes; not like that spoils a surprise, you've been committed to ND for months. The Poole situation was similar, but with a different configuration of schools: he refused to answer JSapp's question about whether he was still fully committed to the Gators, although virtually everything he has said (on Twitter, etc.) points toward the Gators, and he's been committed since June. Why would these kids seem so clear on where they are going but decline to make it officially official?

I guess they get worn out by the long grueling recruiting process and they want to mark the end with a cathartic ceremony, and they feel like that ceremony is less meaningful or cathartic if they aren't seeming to choose one school over another. So even though they and everyone basically know where they are going, it feels weird to them to tell a reporter and have it broadcasted or to broadcast it themselves on Twitter. (what I still don't get is why Poole told the ESPN reporter that he was sticking with FL ... why tell him but not Sapp? Maybe he was confused about whether he was being quoted, or had a greater comfort level with him?) So my two cents: this is just how they feel like the process is supposed to end.

Would be nice, but by no means would I be heartbroken. Great class already

I don't think he has said "I'm committing to Florida tomorrow"

I don't doubt that Brian wants to be a Gator. I'm sure he does. I am merely hopeful and think it's not unreasonable to think that his parents are going to be upset tomorrow, just like Gunner's mother supposedly was.

IrishLax · Feb 1, 2012

Could've been an old quote used by ESPN. Frankly, they run out-of-date **** all the time. But yeah... seems like he's going to do what he wants and not what his parents suggest... soooooo... time to pray for Neal?

f*** it. We're done. Neal will go to OSU because they are crooked and college football is a sorry sack of s***. I am happy with the class we got, but f***.... I sometimes dont understand my attraction to a sport predicated on cheating and taking advantage of young, misguided youth.

true college football is dead.

I'm going to sleep.
