I'm not sure why everyone thinks we're completely out for Isaac. I understand he's visited SC but I don't see "USC verbal" next to his name. He's a fairly local kid and it's freaking May. Why would he even make a return trip to ND if he had no interest? I get that it's a short drive but still, you don't make it if you're not interested.

Committed to USC. per 247

Well...I stand corrected. Shiit.

USC's class is going to be so elite.

Tough to lose a stud like this to a rival but not shocking news.

Even though we all pretty much knew he wasn't comming here this still sucks. Something about missing out on kids from Illinois to USC is gut wrenching to me.

We'll see how it all plays out. The last elite IL prospect that went to USC was Prater. How did he work out?

lame

I can say that I'm not heartbroken. I think he has the look of Forte, but if he doesn't get to that level of a runner I think he'll be a very average back. My two cents, take or leave it.

hahaha a few posts in and the first "I think he'll be a very average back" line comes out to play...

I'm pretty sure that I've only posted in this particular thread once before. And I said he reminded me of Forte, but I never voiced how his running style didn't excite me. Guess I should've voiced my opinion before his commit to USC. I see where it looks like I'm just being that guy talking him down.

It is what it is.

@TJamesISR: USC says we see your Amir Carlisle transfer, and we raise you a Ty Isaac. Big get to pluck Isaac out of ND's backyard. #recruitingrivalry

Last I checked Forte was pretty solid and I wouldnt mind a Forte like back, especially since Forte is a great receiving back and thats kinda what we are doing with our backs now...

Yeah Forte is very solid. And I think that's the ceiling for this kid, unfortunately I just see him being the diet coke version.

We'll visit this thread again in 4 years and discuss, haha

If Forte is his ceiling, that's pretty friggin good. I'm just not getting the Forte comments. I would love if any of our backs wound up producing like Forte.

Disappointing, as I'm really high on Isaac, but I'm also really high on Green, and maybe this paves the way for him. Would have loved to have both though.

IMO I dont think this will effect Green because I dont think we ever had a real legit shot at Isaac. I think winning is what will pull Green away from FSU but even then, it will be tough.

This is a win in my book... anywhere but Michigan. How many 5:s: RBs bust at USC? Answer: in the last 10 years, all of them but Reggie Bush. USC is always going to "get theirs" and I'm really happy Michigan didn't get this stud.

That's how I look at it too. USC is always going to throw a 5:s: RB at us. Just another back in their stable.
