Yeah. I think the coaching change makes the "why not offer sooner" question very easy to explain away.

I think it's easy to explain, but it's still late in the game and that alone is always going to be a question mark in the recruits mind IMO. Now if we're talking about kids with offers from Toledo, Wyoming, etc., I can see where they would be thrilled to flip to ND, but we wouldn't be talking to them in the first place.

And 20 years ago, we would've easily said the same exact thing about Louisville........

Yeast's father said a decision has been made, and Russ will share that decision soon according to II. Steve Hare's gut feeling says Louisville, but his heart says ND. Hmmm in this instance, I think it's too little too late, and his gut is probably right.

He also said before that he thinks it's ND but close. Bottom line a total guess.

What are the chances of three stars at swing positions making it to the NFL and staying there? IF more of these kids had their parents looking out for their best interests they would be making the 40 year choice. Add that to TV every week and graduating with a legit degree and why not come to ND? We're still putting players in the pros and probably still in the top 15 in that category. Is Showtime going to Louisville next? I don't think so. How did the Showtime ratings for ND compare with those of FSU?

That was "A Season With"? I thought I was watching Cops!

Dude, you really need to starting citing your sources, and putting in links, or you are getting banned. This isn't the first time. Final warning.

LMAO, it came from a thread, and not an article. Loy said he received a text from the UL guys, and that he knew last night ND wasn't getting him, the UL guy that is. If you want me to link the thread, just tell me.

It's truly not difficult to understand. Yes, you have to post the link whether it be a premium article or a post from a message board.

I'm telling you it's board policy to cite and link your sources.

I hope not. I get that we had a deep haul at CB last year, but that's no excuse for landing zero this season. Not to mention that Love could potentially move to Safety and Crawford's injury plagued. Need at least one body for that spot this year.

For clarification, we now have to cite the source if it's a user on another cite posting their own opinion or guess? Isn't that what IFF23 did?

He didn't say it was a user posting their opinion, and that wasn't what it was. He said Louisville sites.

The guidelines Lax posted are pretty thorough and clear. This isn't because the mods want to chase people down and be dicks. It's because we have sites reaching out to our mods complaining and sometimes threatening action. It's not hard to copy and paste a link to where you are finding your information. Please do that so we don't get hounded or threatened, and we'd appreciate it. We are fans just like you guys and don't want to have to deal with that stuff when it can easily be avoided.

According to Louisville Courier-Journal he'll fax in LOI in morning then have ceremonial signing at his school at 3:00.

So what you are saying is that we should expect ND to include his profile in their NSD package?

Why let other sites or boards drive our policy? Really, who cares? The Internet is full of unverified information and people's opinions (no matter how well-intentioned). I don't think you can legislate this out of the Internet even if you try.

I don't have a dog in the fight but just thought the reasoning on this point was questionable from an effectiveness and efficiency perspective. Cheers!

BECAUSE THEY ARE MAJOR CORPORATIONS THAT CAN SUE US.

And if stuff were to hit the fan, then they'd just shut down the site.

As an aside, many of us have relationships with certain people from certain sites and are going to respect their wishes (if reasonable). We don't feel like we're really asking that much for people to provide a link to where they read something if it's behind a paywall.

Or, could be the bond he's formed with the other Louisville commits
