'14 CA ATH John (Juju) Smith (USC Signee)

[NDdomer2]

If we take IM, Alexander, JuJu, Quick, that only leaves one spot for a DT. Not so sure I like that. IM becomes expendable if Quick is gonna be here imo

 

[Kaneyoufeelit]

Would be sweet to land these four, but I really want another front four player in this class.

In the unlikely event that the above would transpire, there would still be room for a DT

 

[koonja]

IFF we get all 4 of those (which we won't, so this is moot), I'd be fine sacrificing one of the DT spots, and only taking 1 DT.

Those 4 are serious fire power.

 

[Emcee77]

Wiltfong is also sticking to his prediction with JuJu and Quick citing "optimism is high in the Gug today regarding these four" (JuJu, Quick, McKenzie, Alexander).

Whoa. That would be a stunning way to close the class.

Wiltfong also ranked them in order of confidence that they would pick ND:
1) McKenzie
2) Alexander
3) Juju
4) Quick

We should keep in mind, though, that no one has ever disputed the staff's optimism about Juju. The issue is that he tells ND people one thing and SC people something else.

 

[dwshade]

I'm confused. I thought Wiltfong believes we get Quick but he rates JuJu more likely?

I think he heard some things today that made him feel better about JuJu. Probably had something to do with Loy's earlier update about the in-home with Denbrock.

Bingo. Where was he last weekend? Where will he be this weekend?

 

[Pachuco]

Offensive weapon? We're recruiting him for safety.

Thanks for catching that. You're right.

My prediction is that we get IM, JuJu, and Quick, but one of them will not be on the team in fall. It's an ND tradition.

 

[greyhammer90]

sorry what's good about that? Didn't she just say she doesn't think we get him?

My bad, I read it wrong, I read it as he wasn't sold enough on USC and it shifted towards ND's favor. My fault.

 

[Emcee77]

I read it the same way you did, but now that I reread Anna's tweet, was she saying that momentum is swinging back toward ND, even if it hasn't swung back far enough yet?

Might be reading into it.

 

[koonja]

Here's my twitterpretation:

He's been all USC. Although the ND visit went well, it doesn't sound like it will be enough to change his mind.

I actually think it's pretty clear, but I've been wrong before.

This ends this twitterpretation.

 

[ThePiombino]

She's saying as of Jan 1 he was USC and not enough of a momentum change has occurred to make her feel otherwise now. She's saying he's USC at the moment.

 

[WakeUpEchoes]

Mike Frank just posted on ISD that our visit with his mom last night went really well. We are very much in the race and will be a difficult decision.

 

[koonja]

I still think this is you letting the really good girl down slowly, even though you know you can't turn down the hot girl.

 

[Pachuco]

Yes, except the hot girl has crazy eyes beneath those lashes,

and the good girl has clear eyes behind those bifocals.

Hopefully, JuJu has an eye fetish for overtly smart.

Go Irish!

Shit's getting weird in here.

Whiskey is right. Things started to get weird. Too weird. Deleted a few posts. Let's remained civilized.

So you're telling me there's a chance ...

You bastard, now I'm going to waste even more time on this thread with inevitable disappointment, lol.

Am I doing this right?
