'14 MI WR Drake Harris (Michigan Verbal)

[BeauBenken]

I like it. He can meet up with Nathan.

Unless something has changed since last week's TV, it's safe to assume that we still aren't really pursuing Harris, right? I'm not expecting any real movement on this front until that changes.

It's not that we aren't pursuing Harris, we are, its that we aren't pursuing him as hard as other schools. Similar to that other schools are pursuing Jabrill Peppers harder than we are. Still frustrating though, both are 5 talents.

Wait....why are we not pursuing Peppers that hard?

We are pursuing him hard, just not as hard as OSU and Stanford. Just like with Harris, Michigan and others are pursuing him harder than we are.

Oh. I see. I had angry eyes momentarily. I'm normal again.

 

[rtrn2glory]

if we are not pushing hard for jabril peppers....than we are screwing up big time imo

It's from "The Huge show" Facebook page.

Drake Harris tells reporters tonight" He wants to play football where he can win a national championship". He only wanted to go to MSU if he played basketball.

Can't stand that show. Living in Southwest Michigan makes it unbearable to listen to. He only talks Michigan football and MSU basketball. He will finally talk about UM basketball this year. He is a true bandwagoner. I believed once Kelly became head coach he may be more prone to sone ND talk, but nope, only the negative stuff. He used to have Coach Kelly on his program while he was at GVSU and CMU, but not anymore. Maybe that is not his fault though. Kelly doesn't need to promote ND like the others. On a side note, Harris dropped in 37 points the other night in a regional final basketball game.

Funny thing though is Lloyd Carr never came on the Huge Show as RichRod did and now Brady Hoke. Huge is a bandwagon fan and likes UM football and MSU basketball (or more specifically Tom Izzo).

I thought he would be more kind to ND now that Brian Kelly was there but he is a typical Michigan homer living in this state. He rips on Kelly quite a bit and really took off on the T'eo situation. Oh well, I never expect any kind of objective coverage when it comes to ND on his show.

Sounds like the coaching staff is failing then.

There are some character issue rumors there.

 

[Irish#1]

I don't see it on his twitter anywhere, but apparently he made a comment yesterday stating that since he's only playing football in college that he plans on going to a football powerhouse.

Well that leaves UM out of the picture!

Wasn't gonna say anything, but what the hell. I remember reading some stuff a while back about exactly that. I took it with a grain of salt at the time, but given what you're hearing I'm thinking maybe there was something to it. Who knows...

The Peppers talk will get moved, but he seems like a kid with his head on straight to me, especially since Stanford is all over him. RecruitingNation: Jabrill Peppers Interview - YouTube

 

[Irishnuke]

Sounds like the coaching staff is failing then.

Lol. You're shitting me? We supposedly lead for, off the top of my head, Hood, Starks, Luatua, McDermott, and are firmly in it with many other elite recruits, not to mention last years class. Yep, sounds like the staff doesn't know what the F they're doing.

 

[Buster Bluth]

I don't know how, after last season and the start to this season, such a statement is even possible.

 

[NDTampa]

Drake had 37 points last night in his teams win in the regional basketball final.

This kid is an incredible athlete.

you see everything on a ND board these days... I am sure NDnation is calling for Kelly's head still.

 

[GBdomer]

Will be at Ohio States spring game. I do know he is planning on visiting South Bend this month. Kind of jealous of who Ohio State has coming in this weekend.

I don't think we lead for a single one of the kids you mentioned...

Its down to Temple, UCONN and Fla. Gulf Coast.

At one point it was posted by various people that we lead for each of them. I also didn't post this today. Things change.

True - but I must've missed where we ever lead for Starks or Luatua....I thought Starks has been leaning to OU from the start and BAMA/USC then the rest for Luatua. Not trying to start anything but lets face it - ND isn't exactly lighting the world on fire.

Per TV, staff feels good about where they stand with Starks. Could commit with a good visit in April.

Source close to Lautua tells 247 ND leads over Bama, will need to get him on campus to keep momentum.

 

[STLDomer]

IMO technically your both right about Starks. If he committed tommorow it would be OU but as the above posts says the staff likes where they are with him with a visit April 11 (I'm guessing his coach will be attending the Coaching Clinic)

 

[TomHaverford]

visiting Ohio State next weekend then leaving Saturday morning to make it to Michigan's spring game. I'll be surprised if he doesn't wind up in Ann Arbor. His father is pushing him in that direction pretty hard despite what he says.

Tom, thanks for the info, but what is your source? Unless, of course, you're close to the situation and know personally.

 

[GBdomer]

Thomas you are correct on that one sir

 

[GBdomer]

Will be in town this week or next week or so per rivals

that doesn't make any sense but whatever.
