'13 FL RB Ryan Green (FSU Verbal)

[BeauBenken]

If he shuts it all down once he commits, we better make DAMN sure that it's us he is committing to.

 

[clashmore_mike]

I think I phrased that wrong.

It said he won't be making a quick decision like within the next week or two. No timeframe just wants to evaluate every option and cover every base before he decides because his dad said this is a decision you will live with for the rest of your life.

But I think he will definitely decide before next school year. Sounds like they are making all their visits in the summer.

Oh. Two weeks is about the end of my patience.

This was all posted yesterday btw.

Yeah my second post Johnny pretty much covered that but I wanted to throw in that quote by his father in the first quote.

Detail, detail, details as my comp teacher always said.

His father sounds awesome....force is strong with this one.

I'm kinda disappointed Ryan wasn't named Luke.

 

[Buster Bluth]

This kid sounds like a great young dude. I would think Notre Dame would have little trouble with Florida State in this battle, but that isn't how the world works...

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Will be at FSU's spring game.

We should know more about his level of ND interest after that trip.

Their Spring Game is April 14th, so that will be a big weekend to tell his interest, like you said. FSU was the school he almost committed to a month or so ago right?

You have to think that if he comes out of that weekend uncommitted and still saying good things about ND, we have a good shot.

I'm worried, though, about an Elliott situation here.

Thats my fear too! And word around these parts is FSU is feeling confident with another solid visit they can wow him into commiting...they feel good about him and really I cant blame em.

 

[IrishLax]

Yeah, probably going to strike out at RB. Oh well. Not worried personally.... it's a position of good depth moving forward.

Wish we had just sold Elliot strong on being a RB.

If Green pops for FSU then we can sell Elliot strong on being RB. Our current situation we can't.

Fair point.

 

[IrishLax]

Update on 247 says Green is very, very close to committing to ND. Says he has his mind made up but people close to him are trying to make sure he takes his time with his decision.

So looks like my pessimism above might have been premature.

Guess who else will be at the FSU spring game? Me.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

:djparty:

Come on Ryan you know you want to! IMO we need him to commit now so he doesn't visit UF and FSU again.

 

[Emcee77]

Sounds like he has all but made his decision. Let's just pray the upcoming visits don't change anything. Or that he decides not to take them.

If Buster is taking a ND sign to the pOSU spring game, it would seem only fair that you take one to the FSU spring game. What's the worst that could happen?

I won't need it. I'll be hanging out with the Warchant.com crew until Gene has to get to the field to "work". I'll probably see Green.

Very encouraging, and looks like he has a wise and strong support system to help him out through this tough process. Really hopes he heeds their advice and makes sure he is 100% sure of any decision before he makes it public. He would be a MASSIVE pickup for the program if he does sign with us.

 

[johnnykillz]

Come on Green!

 

[IrishInFl]

So what should my recruiting pitches be guys? I will probably meet him. BTW, I'll also see Darby if anyone has any questions for him.

Dear Ryan Green,

Come to the University of Notre Dame because...

Wish Darby luck from an Irish fan. Show him the class he won't be offered by FSU.

And for Green, a simple "Go Irish," smile, and wink will go a long ways.

"You're at the top of my list, Ryan. I think you have a ton of potential and are definitely a RKG. You are going to be beast. Bang Bang."

^This. or nothing. Subtle and not pushy is the way to go here.

For Darby...I want you to ask him if he plans on continuing his studies of trolling in college and whether he will attempt to share his knowledge of the craft with future recruits

 

[NDdomer2]

This may already be posted but Ryan has his own website Ryan Green Sports. This kid has some serious hops.

 

[SaltyND24]

"You're at the top of my list, Ryan. I think you have a ton of potential and are definitely a RKG. You are going to be beast. Bang Bang."

I think those two words used in succession should never be used ever again on this site...lol

 

[IrishLax]

Just be honest. Sell him hard on the hot women, great weather, and parties.

And if that fails fall back on "blah blah blah Percy Harvin Blah blah" or free tats or the timeless money handshake.

 

[Zbi]

I wish Darby the best until he plays Notre Dame. At this point and time, Green might be one of the biggest pick-ups of the class, especially since some of the other big names have already committed else where.

 

[Me2SouthBend]

"You're at the top of my list, Ryan. I think you have a ton of potential and are definitely a RKG. You are going to be beast. Bang Bang."

And hand him a business card the simply reads "Trinity"
