'13 CA DT Eddie Vanderdoes (UCLA)

[yankeeND]

Sounds to me like Bama hit a home run.

Yeah, sucks but you never know. Just 3 days away and we will know for sure. Right now Bama shits gold eggs so there really isn't anything we can do.

 

[IrishSteelhead]

Sounds to me like Bama hit a home run.

Sounds to me like a 3 star Bama has committed in this class needs a contingency plan.

Not so fast my friend. Every school has hit a home run with him. Alabama got into this later than we did. I just have a hard time believing he'll go there.

Just a little perspective.

They're grayshirting two already. Why stop there?

 

[ND NYC]

did a quik look on rivals at this yrs 2013 class and last yrs 2012 for Bama...not loaded with bunch of 5* DT amd DL's at all.
Nicky Satan may actually had chance to play the early PT card here with EV.

Bozeman is one. Who is the second?

 

[STLDomer]

Did Marcel Dareus play NG for Bama?

 

[Rack Em]

I thought Lax said there were 2? Maybe I was mistaken. I could have sworn he said 2 though.

 

[NewBrunswickIrish]

Did Marcel Dareus play NG for Bama?

I think DE, Wasn't Cody around when he was at Bama

 

[STLDomer]

Yep you are right, his Bama profile said he was a DE that slide inside in passing situations.

So Bama and ND are both recruiting for DE. Are UCLA or/and USC also?

 

[chicago51]

Did Marcel Dareus play NG for Bama?

He played DE for Bama but he is now a 3-4 NG for the Bills.

 

[tadman95]

His technique and/or his ability to improve his technique will be the same at any of the schools.

I think it matters more where he made the best connection. So far I can't see an advantage to any school, certainly his comments have been pretty upbeat for all of the schools.

Unless he tweets something between now and Wednesday, I think we're all guessing.

 

[Redbar]

all i can say about this is raise your hand if you thought you'd be paying as close attention as we are to who this stud was going to sign with on February 6th?

definitely not me for sure, so we are in as good a position as we possibly could be in.

gonna try to stay as optimisitc as possible the last 3 days of the 2013 cycle b/c this class is phenomenal and i am stoked to have each of them!

The Right Stuff.

 

[CanadalovesND]

He played DE for Bama but he is now a 3-4 NG for the Bills.

Bills play a 4-3. Well, they have a new D coordinator, Mike pettine, previously of the Jets, and he ran a 3-4 there, but he has said that the D will have multiple fronts.

Dareus may be a NG, but Kyle Williams was the NG when they ran a 3-4 for Chan Gailey's first two years.

Couldn't agree more.

 

[KyfightingIrish36]

I've became very pessimistic over the last few days about us landing anyone else.

 

[chicago51]

I have seen him going ND since his decommitment and nothing that has happened since to change my mind.

I am I too stupid to see the light? Perhaps though not in my in my eyes.

 

[WakeUpEchoes]

Recruiting is just so funny. We knew about this 'bama visit forever. His tweets are consistent with everything he has been tweeting during and after every other visit. Yet, people (myself included) are pessimistic by a visit that we knew would happen.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Mike Farrell ‏@rivalsmike
yep, I'm allowed, picking #UCLA for Vanderdoes so there @ben_woods15: @rivalsmike are you allowed to ever not pick bama

So, it's down to Bama and us.

This is exactly why I don't care for recruiting and tend to post less on it. I much rather break down a matchup or a position battle. I feel like I actually have some knowledge to contribute in those areas. Recruiting while interesting and certainly important ends make people look foolish trying to predict what is on the minds of 18 year old kids.

 

[Irish#1]

I really have no idea. I figured he would have gone home yesterday.

It could be due to the flight schedules and getting the connections. Birmingham is a decent size city, bit I would guess the flights out on a Saturday might be difficult to get,

Food, sleep and getting laid.

 

[Green Mountains]

All I can say about this recruitment is best said by another EV (Eddie Vedder) "Just Breathe"

Just Breathe - Pearl Jam - YouTube

 

[NDPhilly]

Food, sleep and getting laid.

Pretty much this

 

[TheTurningPoint]

Most visits are through Sunday morning.

 

[Irishman77]

Food, sleep and getting laid.

Not in that order though

 

[IrishSteelhead]

Most visits are through Sunday morning.

Do you have anything else to say, like perhaps a 3 word slogan???????????

 

[Ironman8]

Lol what did you think he ment?

Winter is coming.

 

[NDinL.A.]

A couple of things here:

1. The reason he is late arriving back is because his flight was delayed a couple of hours.

2. A poster on Rivals SC who sounds absolutely legit has talked to EV's dad very recently. The dad swears that EV hasn't eliminated anyone and any rumors that he is a silent are completely false. He says EV is genuinely torn and has no leader yet. Says they'll sit down as a family and talk about all the schools and what they have to offer.

If that poster is accurate I take that as great news.
