'14 FL DE/OLB Richard Yeargin III (Clemson Verbal)

[tko]

As we've seen so many times with these situations, it almost never ends up in favor of ND. Again, I hope the Band-Aid gets ripped off right away and we don't have to look back, Elijah Hood style.

don't know why yeargin would need to tell the coaches, does he tell them everytime he goes to the potty.

not worried about him flipping and if he does so what as long as we land kolin hill.

That is a horrible and stupid comparison. It is more like being engaged/girlfriend and going on a date with another girl.

And this is why I don't get vested into recruiting anymore

When will the NCAA stop the insanity and institute an early signing period. Basketball has one. We would see how serious a player is in his verbal commitment.

I think we would find a lot less kids verballing early in the process.

I'd rather that than having so many kids verbal and decommit every year. Having the serious kids sign early would take a lot of pressure off the coaches.

Let's see what happens before we pass judgement here. Do we ever learn? lol

You always want the wait until you are married before you date someone else

Its funny since before even clicking on this thread earlier, I was just thinking that we haven't had any talk of any of our commits looking elsewhere and that's very rare for any school.

I want everyone who has committed to stay here, since I see the value there, but we only have 3 scholarships available right now (including McKenzie and 4 5th year guys in QB Hendrix, G/T Lombard, LB Moore, and S Collinsworth) and some very good recruits still available (some at even more necessary positions such as DE, NG and MLB). So I can't say that I would be very mad at losing RYIII but he is a good player.

How long until someone questions his grades?

 

[ACamp1900]

I'm hearing something about possible grades...??

 

[GreenSox04]

definitely have seen this movie before.

I hate Clemson to boot.

They have a statue/building or two that should be removed and renamed (Lookin at you Tillman)

 

[PANDFAN]

I would be more worried If it was a d lineman however he had such good athleticism and flexability position wise he would suck to lose but there is always someone or more who flip and we always end up with a flip for us... more names will pop up that are committed just like always. . It's about that time when recruiting gets even more cutthroat

 

[stlnd01]

Lose Yeargin, get Morgan, Sykes and Hill and I'm more than happy with that trade.

Was kind of wondering why we've been offering ALL the DE/OLBs. Maybe the staff was concerned this might happen and started lining up fallbacks.
That said, based on those quotes from two weeks ago this doesn't feel like a done deal to Clemson so much as evaluating options. Nothing wrong with that. Has he used his OV to us yet?

 

[irishpat183]

I read these posts and I just laugh now....

When he committed:We got him!! Playmaker! Gonna be so good in this D!! Can't wait!

Visits Clemson: Ehhh...I'd trade him for so-and-so. You could argue that so-and-so is a better prospect on film....etc.


Hilarious. Really.

And this dude is about as close to the total package as it gets. Has frame to really become a dominant one. Could be a Mario Williams type with some weight room work.

Let's not kid ourselves with this guy. He's a big time get

Yes, he OV'd for the USC game.

We have 6-7 schollys available. The working number for this class has been 24-25.

I could see their point based on our needs, but I agree. Far too often people shift from one side to another based on who looks like they are going to be here and who doesn't.

With the premise of Andrew Hendrix, Christian Lombard, Kendall Moore, and Austin Collinsworth coming back for 5th years, counting Isaiah McKenzie, Richard Yeargin III as commits and counting Stephon Tuitt as coming back for senior year we would only have 3 scholarships remaining if no one transfers out.

I just made a post about it: http://www.irishenvy.com/forums/1164992-post49.html

Yes, he OV'd for the USC game.

Awesome. So he got to watch our offense in its fullest glory, while missing Clemson getting rocked by FSU.

Why would he care about how the offense played in one half? The environment of the game and how the defense played in thats game (especially in the second half) should be very enticing to a defensive player. If that and academics doesn't do it for him, well to each his own and best of luck to him. He is a very good recruit.

I can see a case where Collinsworth may not come back.

We are loaded at the safety position.

Heading into the 2014-15 season, we'll have six safeties, who together, form a solid group of present and future contributors.

Baratti (3 years left), Shumate (2 years left), Farley (2 years left), Hardy (2 years left), Redfield (3 years left) and Turner (3 years left)

Collinsworth's scholarship may come to better use.

A weak attempt at humor on my part. Settle down. He did, though, miss the chance to watch Clemson get rocked.
Obviously Notre Dame has a lot to offer. We'll see where he winds up. It doesn't sound like we're out of this by any means.

Its possible if we view Turner or Drue Tranquill as a safety, but I would think a solid player who is a starter this year and plays special teams is a valuable piece and one we would bring back if he wants back.

Oh whoops. Sometimes humor doesn't come off great on the internet. lol.

Yup, either way though we should be in solid position as a team.

Trying to follow the numbers by breaking down a roster chart is useless. Staff knows what the real numbers will be and it's common knowledge they will take 24 this year. We have 18 now. Izzy doesn't count since he hasn't qualified and likely won't. I can tell you for sure if Morgan, Elam, Luatua, Quick, Holley and JuJu want to come not a one of them will be turned away.

True. And sometimes the sarcasm font seems like too much.
Anyway, I do hope Yeargin makes the right choice. But ND won't rise or fall on one four-star outside linebacker.

I would hope not.

Maybe we take on up to 24, but Im not 100% on that. We might if some players transfer(or get pushed out)/we take less than 4 5th year guys.

I'm 100% certain unless we just strike out everywhere which I don't see happening.
