'08 PA LB Shayne Hale (Pitt Verbal)

Even if it's not Hale (and a guy at DD who called the Armando commitment is saying it's a done deal), it looks like we definitely did get a commit in the past couple days.

With Johnson, Floyd, Slaughter, and Hale's name being thrown around, at least we know we're going to be getting a terrific player.

Man, going back to work right now will NOT be easy.

Hey, what is this "DD" board you guys sometimes mention?

Katzenboyer seems right--with any one of these commitments, we'll again have a whole lot to be praising Coach Brown for.

(First post--I appreciate the recruiting discussions you guys offer. Have been a grateful lurker for the past several months.)

A lot of guys are taking the cautious approach over at DD, and maybe that's smart, but screw it.

I say we get him. CB and CW have done pretty great things so far on the recruiting aspect, and him coming to campus is HUGE. What a get he'd be.

Katz, you are starting to look like a freakin genius. Eleven days ago when you made the above post, I thought, "no way in hell." Today, I'm going out of my mind thinking you were right about Hale. Hope you were right, and it's starting to look that way.

1) The guy over at DD is the same one who called the Armando Allen verbal.
2) He has confirmed that Hale was at ND today and has cancelled the rest of his visits
3) I just got out of my seat too fast and became dizzy about hearing all this Hale and Slaughter stuff.

If for some insane reason these rumorsare true...everyone come to my house in Philly. I'm calling off work tomorrow and having a beer BQ tonight. I promise it will put Urban Myers' barbeques to shame

I'm hearing people say they heard about Hale cancelling trips a couple of days ago which would ruin any chance of a Hale commitment.

There are plenty of folks trying to poke holes in this guy's story, but he is quite confidently sticking to his guns. He is obviously convinced that his info is correct. I think we all hope he is right.

Hijole! We have guys barbequeing their beer?!?!?! Running naked! Getting up from their desk chair too fast. CB/CW are doing something right, that is for damn sure. IK23, whay would cancelled visits before this visit poke a hole in the story?

Let's try to stay on topic. WHAT THE HALE IS GOING ON????

Haha well the post you're referring to happened a few weeks before Hale's visit, and everyone seemed to be going cautious, and I decided to be bold.

Hey, if it comes true, I'll take the rep points

sorry for the lack of solid info on this, but that's exactly what there is to this point... we'll just have to wait and see

what does this do to Filer or Sabino. Saying if Hale is a commitment, what do we do.

We get the best class of linebackers the nation has seen in a hot minute

Exactly! Filer & Sabino may be out of time at this point. I remember last year getting Brian Smith from Iowa and being so happy with getting a much needed LB. Now we're loaded with or without Filer, Sabino or Hale.

I'd still like to save a spot for Arthur Brown. How can Weis not save a spot for him even if we land Hale?

Well according to IUB, if Hale commits that might force Filer to and that would probably drop Sabino after contention.

If Hale to ND proves to be true, the player that I would think that would be most effected would be Sabino because from what I understand Sabino, Hale and Brown are being recruited as OLB whereas Filer is being recruited as a ILB. Maybe I'm wrong but thats how I see it.

Another thing if this does indeed pan out to be true then I like ND chances alot more than I did before to get Arthur Brown because great players want to play with other great players and getting Hale IMO be catalyst for such things to happen.

So please let this rumor be true. Please.

Hale plays middle linebacker, but with his size, I see him as a perfect DE/LB hybrid in a 3-4. With his size and speed he can rush the end or drop back in coverage. However, he may not see it that way, and I am cautiously waiting to buy my plane ticket to Philly for Leppy's party tonight.

Hale is being recruited by ND as an OLB, and many think with the size he already has many teams will try to make him a DE which he doesn't want. If any of this turns out to be true, which I still have my doubts about at this point that could be one of his big reasons for comming to ND.
