'08 VA WR Deion Walker (Signed LOI to ND)

[MirageSmack]

My bad Stoney, I thought it was a joke. I need to take you more seriously!

 

[Jason Pham]

Just reiterating what I'm hearing, Deion talked to one of the coaches earlier this evening and confirmed that he is sending in his LOI to Notre Dame tomorrow.

since i wasnt a memberr here last year i dont know what happened with Ian Williams but i do know about chris little. can you tell me what happened?

Ian was getting a lot of attention from UF and was thinking about switching over in the middle of the night. From what I recall, Nick (gallup21) tracked him down over IM and confirmed that he'd be going to ND before any of the pay sites got the news.

(Doing my best to paraphrase here... as the show plays)
According to Dan Silver who spoke to DW's high school coach tonight - from B&G Midnight Madness on right now (free... check it out BlueandGold.com // Notre Dame Fighting Irish Football) - DW was struggling between ND and State Penn over the past few days. However, he spoke to Ron Pawlus this evening to confirm that he would be signing with ND tomorrow. There was also some speculation that Tennessee got into the mix late as well. DW said he was having a hard time because of his relationship with the State Penn receiver coach and owed them a call.

If I hear anything more... I'll post here.

Ugh.

 

[ashellm]

phork, relax, he's irish. he's sending his LOI at 9am.

 

[phork]

Like someone said before, I'll believe it when I see it. Not saying it isn't going to happen but we are dealing with teenagers here.

Urban tried to go after Ian very, very hard at the end and at one point during th evening he had decided that he was going to switch, but he called his older brother or mentor, I can't remember exactly who it was now, and he told Ian that he made a commitment and to keep his word. It actually got to the point where schools like LSU and Auburn were calling him and bashing ND and telling him to go to UF.

 

[Irish Canuck]

Goshen... I don't understand. Why would LSU and Auburn bash ND ob behalf of UF and want him to attend UF? I'm not denying it... but I just don't get it. They play each other... why would they help out?

Because they hate ND more and they don't want to consistantly lose their southern talent to northern schools.

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

So Walker is Irish right?

 

[NDOM]

So Walker is Irish right?

Not until I see him send in his letter of intent. I'm not going to believe anything until I see at least 22 LOI's SIGNED.

 

[GoshenGipper]

Probably but Rivals are reporting that they are unsure. They say one parent wants ND (Probably Dad) and one parent wants PSU (Probably Mom). I know Penn State has been in contact with him this week, but as of last night all reports comming from the family said he was solid.

 

[GoshenGipper]

He is supposed to be "announcing" in 10 min. then he'll be on Rivals Radio in about 40 min.

 

[Newc]

I need some pepto.

 

[GoshenGipper]

Welcome to NSD

 

[GoshenGipper]

Deion will be on Rivals Radio in about half an hour.

 

[Irish Canuck]

Walker Is Irish!!!!
From Rivals... he just announced he's sticking to his committment.<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

 

[irish4ever]

Whew ... thank you Deion!!! You, Floyd and Goodman are going to make a very good trio @ WR!

 

[Clausen2Kamara]

Yea yea!!!

 

[IrishRamMan10]

phew

 

[leprechaun4life]

You assholes!! I nearly had a panic attack last night.......sorry I'm calm now. Thank You Deion

 

[ab2cmiller]

You assholes!! I nearly had a panic attack last night.......sorry I'm calm now. Thank You Deion

Hey!!!! Nobody is allowed to call me an asshole except for my wife.

 

[GoshenGipper]

You assholes!! I nearly had a panic attack last night.......sorry I'm calm now. Thank You Deion

Well I guess it did get to the point where things were up in the air and he was reconsidering going to PSU. Don't ask me why.

 

[SoCalDomer]

Well I guess it did get to the point where things were up in the air and he was reconsidering going to PSU. Don't ask me why.

if he had changed to PSU, he would be lonely. they only have 12 commits this class (they're waiting on two LOI as of right now so they could have as many as 14 assuming no one on the fence jumps to them or from them).

in the class they only have 1 other WR, so maybe he saw less competition as a positive. But, they got no QB's this year, they got none last year, and got two in 2005. so who would throw the ball to him?

they only got 5 offensive commits this year, and those are 3-OL, 1-TE, and 1-WR. PSU is not an offensive school. offensive players will not shine. he made a good choice.

 

[LOVEMYIRISH]

Glad to see he hung tight. He will get plenty of playtime!!!

 

[Synoptico]

Wonder if now that Hord is transfering, Walker will take over the number 1 jersey that he wore in high school?

 

[IrishRamMan10]

your a thinkin man... i like it

 

[mick2]

so, we're probably never gonna see this guy on the field? or what?

I was excited about him but he's been virtually unheard of since he signed.

with all the injuries i was certain he would get a snap or two, but nuthin?

 

[BestBIrish47]

He looks fast in Uniform..LOL...that is the only assessment I can make based on what I have seen so far.
