I understand that these reporters want to give him his moment, but if Vaughn picks anyone else it would be one of the more shocking decisions that I can remember while following recruiting.
They have become very close over the last year as they have been on several visits together.
This and a decent chunk of these guys are basically just reclassing into the class they should have been in to begin with. Lot of these guys have been held back along the way to give them a physical advantage over their peers. No idea if that is the case with Vaughn but its incredibly common...
Saw somewhere he may have fractured his tibia, that was unverified though. Looked like a high ankle sprain to my relatively untrained eye, they may have done tightrope (?) surgery right away to give him plenty of time to rehab.
Edit: Didn't see the broken fibula at the top, that makes more...
The only true top target that we've missed on is Dollar in my opinion. And while it sucks because I think he'll be awesome, I can understand why they wouldn't throw a huge sum of money at him to commit a year after Premer. Denbrock probably cost us with Dollar as well but I digress.
If missing...
I mean I don't really know what you need to see at this point to realize this is illogical. ND's roster's will be over 40 million this year. They just paid 2 OSU WRs to transfer, both certainly over 7 figures. They signed a top 3 class last year. How do you think they signed them?
Count me in the actions have consequences camp. If you choose to sign a contract, honor it or take it to court. Shouldn't be able to use a bigger school as a free buyout. They had to know this was coming after the Mensah, Sorsby, and Demond Williams debacles. I also could be reading this...
Its amazing that we went from DT will never allow us to win a game again to there are not enough snaps to go around for 5 guys that are all at near starter level players. Mukam still has a lot to prove against good competition but Onye, Brewu, Gray and Hughes would start most places
Wiltfong said yesterday that no decision had been finalized as of yet and that Mom loves ND. I don't expect him to be Irish but I don't think its a done deal quite yet.
