'16 MI WR Donnie Corley (Offer)

[GBdomer]

Don't sleep on Ohio State here. I'll be different and thinks he ends up here. Hopefully we can regain some momentum with him that we had in March. I think it's safe to say his parents would be perfectly ok if he wanted to come to ND

 

[GBdomer]

Didn't make it per one of the members of the gruesome twosome

 

[Luckylucci]

Loy backed that up by saying this is over

Sucks that we lead for this kid out of a March visit and then basically never heard from him again

 

[Luckylucci]

He's being pushed away from ND. I originally thought it was the family that liked ND but the other way around. I believe the dad and support group are looking for other things. Good player actually one of my favorite receivers in the entire class.

I think it is shocking - that someone with the experience at college recruiting Anna Hickey claims, goes with the righteous moral indignation line. And those of you who don't understand why any given kid on the path to ND can make a left turn out of nowhere for lovin', drugs, or money, take a quick reality check.

I was such a bad prospect coming out of high school, that they left empty spaces on the boards between me and the second worst prospect in the nation. Even I got laid in the process, (more than once.) And my experience goes back to the early Christian era!

It is too bad when someone with this talent gets waylaid, though. I hope it all works out for him.

So what was the video? It's down now.

What's the big deal? It's 20 seconds of a recruit having his pic taken by some young coeds. Nothing out of bounds here. We also have no clue what was or wasn't discussed on the visit. Much ado about nothing unless the complainers can provide evidence that this was the entire visit.

presented without comment. for me its all normal recruiting stuff but all the ND recruitniks seemed to have their knickers in a twist about it.

Video still seems to be working here (for ndfi78)

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

That's ridiculous

In defense of CoachD, I've talked to him off-the-record about recruiting stuff that goes on, and that video is just the tip of the iceberg of what he knows most likely went on during that visit. It's crazy and so incredinly different than what ND is presenting (but nothing we all don't already know), and a big reason many had already written off Corley a long time ago...

 

[Booslum31]

Get the girls for four years or get them for forty.

 

[IrishLion]

Ha, I would be overwhelmed by that if I were a recruit. Wouldn't be able to focus on anything.

But hey, if loud music and flashing cameras is your style, I won't knock it I guess.

That's fair enough. Can we agree that the video (as an isolated incident) isn't equal to the tone of the tweets? Obviously if you're Coach D (or anyone privy to that inside info of this recruitment) then there is more than meets the eye, but to the rest of us on the outside looking in, seems like no harm no foul. But I don't doubt for a second that this is just the tip of the iceberg, unfortunately.

 

[PANDFAN]

I think the main reason also is how much the volunteer girls are part of their recruiting at Tenn

This, the video alone doesn't really say LOOK AT THIS SEC RECRUITING, CANT BELIVE THIS., as ND had a "red carpet" type thing set up for last seasons Year End Award Banquet.

Now the lil twerp comign in the picture with him and holding up the shocker was interesting but still nothing OMG.

I am sure, like LA mentioned, Coach D knows what happened after the cameras were rolling.

 

[woolybug25]

Not sure why, but I always thought highly of Butch Jones. I'm rethinking that now if this is the style of recruiting his program does. As others have pointed out, the video itself isn't too bad. But you can clearly see the methodology in their approach.

 

[Classic Irish]

Hints of Gary Barnett's recruiting tactics at Colorado which Lou Somogyi, I believe, referred to as "porno-recruiting."

 

[Irish#1]

Oh yes you would! lol

very hard for him to take the moral high ground in the SEC, its dog eat dog and he's gotta compete. Look at his first couple of classes..oversigning and taking commits from borderline eligible players on NSD

"There are still other teams in there," Corley said. "I still like Notre Dame, I still like Ohio State and I still like West Virginia."

"I am still in contact with both of those schools and talk with them every other day probably. I'll talk with Coach (Zach) Smith or Coach (Kerry) Coombs (at Ohio State) and Coach (Keith) Gilmore or Coach (Mike) Denbrock (at Notre Dame) a lot."

MY OPINION-don't expect ND ...it's a Tenn vs MSU

 

[Big23Head]

This recruitment might go on for a while, I don't think ND will be involved though

Not impressed at all by whoever that d*ck was shunning the opposing captains hand shake attempt at the beginning.
