ND RECRUITER: Tony Alford

DECISION: 7/31/10 Verbal (December graduation for Early Entrance)

 

[TerryTate]

Fresh start?

Aaron Lynch to Reopen Recruitment

 

[TerryTate]

Lynch will take an official visit to Notre Dame on Friday.

 

[ab2cmiller]

OMG. OMG OMG

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Terry are you serious? You are kidding me right.

 

[nd1]

who thinks he will be irish again. he is a great player and would sure help out alot on defense.

 

[TerryTate]

This is real.

 

[SpeedsterX]

Mrs. Lynch, Please do not read internet message boards or let Aaron read them until he signs his LOI no matter where he ends up!

We are not representative of the fanbase majority!

 

[Rambler09]

I love it. Playing opposite Tuitt and being around those ND guys must have made him realize his mistake. With the public apology he made I bet Brian Kelly will be taking him back. Just listening to the descriptions of him and Tuitt playing opposite each other is getting me excited for the future of our defensive line. Can we have Ishaq too, please?

From all of the reports I've read about Tuitt and Lynch at the AA game, they utterly dominated together. One of the Rivals guy said that Lynch would be his number one prospect from the east in his next rankings.

Alford needs to be all over this kid, he could be an absolute legend at ND and could be instrumental in taking the program back to the top.

No matter how upset people were (and I said some nasty things myself) he is one of the premier talents in high school this year. People need to get over the sense of betrayal and realize this kid is going to be playing on Sundays, and it would be good for us if he played here on Saturdays for a few years first.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Please people I beg you show some respect for the young man and his family. Especially if Alice comes back to the site show some respect no matter what happens!

 

[NDFANnSouthWest]

I have been saying....The SAGA i far from over!

 

[Freeman Ara]

Is he going to EE?

 

[china423]

Looks like he deleted his facebook...probably a good idea

Beasts of the East

 

[CanadianIrish]

Maybe the Army All American Bowl is doing wonders for our recruiting. Comments like this:

"Lynch and Tuitt again combined for a sack on the next play. Tuitt split a double team with ease, forcing the QB to scramble right into the waiting arms of Lynch, who had just blown past Smith on the opposite side. Lynch and Tuitt were a lethal combination all day. On the following play Tuitt drove LT Antonio Richardson deep into the backfield."

From the practice reports can't hurt.

And my earlier statement about Aaron's improvement over the year and the fact that one Rivals analyst will have him as the highest ranked player from the East squad, is from this article:

Beasts of the East

One can only hope that he really likes playing with Tuitt on the other end of the line. Hopefully Tuitt talks to him a lot over the next few days and they really bond.

Looks like he deleted his facebook...probably a good idea

probably the best thing he's done so far. he has to make his own choice on were he goes. if it's here then great if not then i wish him all the luck until he plays the irish.

 

[CanadianIrish]

Double post

 

[IrishLax]

OMFG YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

Come home Aaron... we all still love you.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

This has been a freaking soap opera. I love it!

 

[calidomer43]

wow...just made my weekend!

 

[Kingbish01]

If he has really decommited from FSU, I would say he is 100% Irish. Done Deal!! Nix, Tuitt, and Lynch up front will be sooo nasty!

 

[calidomer43]

Tuitt

 

[Kingbish01]

Tuitt

Just excited. (the "r" is next door to the "t") LOL

 

[CanadianIrish]

If he has really decommited from FSU, I would say he is 100% Irish. Done Deal!! Nix, truitt, and Lynch up front will be sooo nasty!

One would have to assume ND would be the favourite if it's not going to be FSU. Between the ND shirt on the way to the Army AA practice, his strong relationship with Alford and the love fest in the recent interview, I'm hopeful.

However, let me play devil's advocate and present the nightmare scenario. How many d-linemen have we lost to Florida in recent years? And which school just signed coaches designed to turn their program into an NFL development league? This could be the first casualty of the new Florida coaching regime.

 

[BestBIrish47]

Aaron come home to those who will welcome you with Open Arms!!! Go IRISH

 

[nd1]

If he has really decommited from FSU, I would say he is 100% Irish. Done Deal!! Nix, truitt, and Lynch up front will be sooo nasty!

lets hope you are right and he is coming back to the irish. it would make a;lot of people around here eat their words.

 

[mavscoach]

I don't think I had ever felt so bad when he decommitted. That poor young man must be going through emotional hell. I will be ecstatic if he winds up in South Bend

 

[IrishInFl]

Merge other thread? Damn tomorrow is going to be a wacky all-star game.

 

[magogian]

Does this mean Jordan Prestwood might come back also?
