'13 CA DT Eddie Vanderdoes (UCLA)

[Cackalacky]

Have the prayer pic ever worked? From what I recall, in the past, every time the prayer pics are utilized we lose out on the recruit (Armstead, Agholor, Poole).

Of course prayers work. There are conclusive studies that clearly show prayers work exactly when they are supposed to and when they dont then something else went wrong.

I am going a different route this year.

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Awww, the serenity prayer... Well played.

They started with Lynch (I think... may possibly have been another recruit)... pretty sure they're 0/2 since then. Anyone who did them for Agholor needed to bust out something far more drastic than prayer pics LOL.

Oh my goodness. Please tell me Fitts is making the 40 year decision. Or Eddie of course

 

[Ironman8]

Think he is referring to others, not specifically Eddie. Been wild developments on a few USC recruits, Priest Willis, Robinson twins, etc.

Hmmm.... Maybe we should do what Notre Dame did while it was winning all of those Championships- actually pray to Our Lady?

Recruiting is completely crazy and I love it

Care to elaborate on what the twins are doing? I haven't been able to check Twitter, work computer blocks most social media.

Rumors are one is leaning towards Washington, and the other towards Oregon, but they want to stick together. I guess one brother will have to persuade the other.

I am wondering if it might be in reference to what is currently being posted in the "USC recruiting" thread.

EDIT: Slow on the draw

Yeah I'm sure it is. I was hoping for a little buzz buzz

Gracias, Stories like these make me realize why I continue to get invested. It's like quality TV, and I just can't help it.

Makes me want to write a book about recruiting, except fiction and consisting of extreme hyperbole.

me too....

Actually, the more I think about recruiting, the harder it is to think that I could include hyperbole in my book. Most of those "extreme exaggerations" would probably turn out to be pretty accurate.

the fact that it said cue up crazy train immediately made me think ND ....thoughts??

And thus a lot like an Urban Meyer recruiting pitch.

 

[arrowryan]

Same here. That's what got me thinking

 

[Rack Em]

For any of you guys that still think Bama is squarely in the mix, they're getting Dee Liner tomorrow and A'Shawn Robinson AND are the favorite for a JC DT.

I'm just not seeing it.

 

[NDGOLDEN]

The one thing I like is the last thing he has retweeted has to do.with ND. Probably has absolutely nothing to do with it but

Please 8 pound 9 ounce baby jesus, allow eddie to make the 40 year decision and not the 4 year decision.

UCLA is a pretty good school ya'll. Not suggesting they graduate black players like we do or whatnot but it wouldn't be like going to Alabama
