he's right, likely no shot here.

The opportunity was there for over a year, but ND never jump on it until it was to late. I never understood why ND is so late to offer some kids. Is there requirements or a process that it goes through before Charlie gets the thumbs up to offer kids?

We always gotta make sure about their academics unlike ALOT of other schools which hurts us with a lot of kids unfortunately.

I kept reading through the thread, his 1st semester just finshed and he got All A's and 1 C. And that one C was because he missed a project and did bad on one test. And it was a coaches class. That one C couldn't of drop his GPA that low but who knows!!

this idea that a spring offer is "late" is part of the problem. recruits, and people who follow recruiting, somehow think a post-April offer is somehow late.

sometime its the recruit or their coach who aren't diligently getting their film or transcripts out there. sometimes its because the college staffs have hundreds and hundreds of film and paperwork to review, in addition to coaching, recruiting the prior year's class, and a myriad of other responsibilities .

in NDs case, there is an additional hurdle. not alot of recruits have the grades to get into ND. it seems as though there is a policy or at least a practice of making sure the kid will most likey gain admittance before extending an offer. now, when you consider that the 2010 class of recruits has 1 whole year of schooling left, it's not a given that the recruit will have the necessary classes to qualify for admission.

in my opinion, missing out on a recruit b/c they got a may, june or summer offer instead of an "early offer" isn't much of a loss. recruits who think they deserve an earlier offer or are somehow offended by a two month late offer can enjoy their time taking buble gum 101 at the Harvard of the South for all i care. then they can end up like the 70% of pro players who are broke within 2 years of retirement from their pro career, if they had one at all.

You hit the nail on the head.. I think some recruits don't see it that way. It could of been the high school coaches fault, to the University football staff having so much on the plate to deal with(as you stated). To sit and say they offered me to little to late this early, in my opinion, is kind a of arrogant mentality(which you'll find that in plenty people in life) when recruits still have one more year of high school left. What ever happen to the saying "patience is a vertrue."

I wish the best of luck to Lamarcus Joyner. His highlight films are sick and wish he would reconsider Notre Dame.

just for the record, i want to make sure people understood my comments weren't about Lamarcus Joyner. they were in general to recruits who may get offended by not being offered Sept 1 or look at a june or later offer as "late."

I have no idea whether Joyner is turned off by ND since they have yet to offer.

I understood. Many recruits feel like it's an insulted if they haven't been offer by certain colleges by Spet 1. Not try to single out Joyner, there are many kids like that..

Looks like Joyner "was turned off by a late offer." He has cut his list down to Florida State and Ohio State.

Where did you get that info? I talked to the owner of Warchant.com tonight, Gene, and he never heard that rumor. He thinks that FSU has a great chance with him, but ND has almost as good of a chance because STA is a ND pipeline school. Also, he think's FSU's defense is going to suck this season :)

Joyner is making a trip to ND? I thought he through a fit that he didn't get offer early so he put us a the bottom of the totem pole.

Things can change quickly in recruiting, espically when all your teammates are going to the game.

Can you imagine the team you would be able to field with all the recruits on the sideline and how good they would be in 4 years?

If he did come to ND would they use as a wide out? I know we pickuped Wood, Boyd, and if we get Riggs were good at corner in depth..

Joyner was always a FSU lean. No longer a lock because of FSU's decline. Luc was never considered a FSU lock or even a lean. Florida all the way.

If he did come to ND would they use as a wide out? I know we pickuped Wood, Boyd, and if we get Riggs were good at corner in depth..
He is a shut down corner.
Agreed. He's corner all the way. Corner and ST returner.

lord if there is ever a game we need to win, it is this one
You don't need to win. You have to ensure you don't get blown out.

I beg to differ. I was told that Luc was very close to commiting this past summer. Even though he didn't, he remained in constant contact with Gene and FSU.
