So weird. Farrell is sure that Neal tried to commit to OSU today and his commitment wasn't accepted. "Well-sourced," he said.

From "I will use you as Percy Harvin" to "we don't want you anymore." Epic.

If all of this is true, I can't understand why he would go to Arizona unless he is concerned about being close to home. But then there is the whole leaving out of state comment and the supposed OSU thing. Who knows.

Recruiting has officially defeated me.

I hope we get Neal. I hate to label him as a "must have" but that is the reality of it, with only 2 receivers taken today. Here's to hoping we end this class out on a positive note instead of with the ridiculous Greenberry news.

Wow, wish he wasn't visiting there. I thought we had a chance. But, he can be BMOC in AZ with a new coach and new scheme. Probably goes there.

But, are they going to beat out USC, UCLA and Mora's nice recruiting, UW and their good recruiting, Oregon, and Stanford?????

I wouldn't Choose AZ over ND! Heck, we are on the way up with our talent level and we play on national TV every week.

He is talented enough to play really early here too. Oh well!

Go Irish!

He's from Ohio and his mom lives there.

You're setting yourself up for another temper tantrum

Has anyone heard from a reliable source that academics are in fact the reason? Or did ole Urban just run out of room? Hard to imagine it's the latter. Urban wanted him bad.

"Lol, I promise he didn't, he's literally sitting right across from me, not close to committing, one more visit on the 10th, then they'll decide" this is what greg biggins just said on the espn live chat when someone said they heard neal tried to commit to ohio st today.

Not Ridiculous on Greenberry. Tee is pretty special and maybe he didn't want to share or try to match the spotlight. Maybe he didn't want to have to work hard in the classroom, didn't want to play on national TV every week, didn't want the pressure of Irish Nation?????

@azc_obert: Luke Neal says he doesn't know anything about a Mike Farrell report that Ohio State now not taking his son Davonte Neal.

@azc_obert: Luke said 10 minutes ago he hadn't spoken to Meyer today.

Why would anyone want to play football at Arizona? Kid obviously isn't too concerned about the weather if he tried to commit to OSU today.

Didn't Neal's best friend just sign with Arizona though? I'll say I'm very cautiously optimistic.

So Neal didn't try to commit to OSU now? I'm so confused. I should have taken today off.

I think TP alluded to academics possibly being an issue for Neal, not that today is a day for lending credence to some of the things he's gone on record with.

lol before the Standifer fiasco I'd have said it is impossible that academic issues could have gone undetected for this long ... now we are cursed with the knowledge that they can

Yeah, TP's "credibility" is less than stellar at this juncture.

Buzz buzz

I sincerely hope that Mr. Neal's grades are up to par with ND's standards

@azc_obert: Luke Neal controls his son's recduiting and he said Ippolito going to UA has absolutely no bearing on his decison.
