'17 IN OLB Pete Werner (Ohio State Verbal)

[BobbyMac]

I didn't mean literally pulling the scholly. More of a distance themselves with communication and hope he starts looking elsewhere, which obviously he did. I just find it really hard to believe they would just stop communications with a player that was committed, unless A) this isn't true or B) they weren't impressed with him anymore and found other more suitable players.

I don't think they're lazy when it comes to recruiting and they've done a good job of putting together classes. Something is off with this one though....

You're right, they aren't the same. BUT in the end, it's the same as far as the damage it does. If they did cool, then distance to promote his looking elsewhere did they think it wouldn't come out in the media? It's bad enough if they did it and he committed to Ball St but he appears to be joining what looks like the greatest class in the recruiting industry era. So if the distancing is true, instead of just looking shady, now they look shady AND stupid.

ND will continue to pull in solid recruiting classes but having BK as HC is like Domino's letting the best delivery guy drive their car at the Indianapolis 500.

is ND not contacting recruits who are considered locks quite normal though? Guys like Kraemer and Eichenberg i doubt needed to speak to the staff everyday considering how solid they were seen to be. any chance this happened with werner and it caught the staff by surprize?

Maybe it's "normal" when you're in the playoff hunt but when you have a season like ND did this year, you better be in communication with everyone of your recruits.

Makes you really wonder what BK and the staff have been doing with the time. Clearly not coaching...

I love reading stupid comments.


Consider kellyand defensive staff turned BVG's defense into something worth while.

At the expense of the offense and special teams and to some extent recruiting. Great, he fielded a competent defense for half the year. It takes more than that to be a good head coach.

Yup, and a home grown Cathedral boy at that. Double booooo

Urban sold him on replacing Raekwon. Literally the lowest rated recruit in tOSU's class besides the kicker.

 

[rocket66]

Didn't the staff low-key cool on him anyway?

Do you trust Kelly's judgment over Meyer's? Lol

Great job Pete... single handedly drug OSU's team avg under a 96.

If I were the other recruits I would want him out to bring the team average backup. What a jerk Pete is to hurting the OSU's team ranking average.

The next Zeke Elliot, ND recruits at LB and he goes off as a RB

 

[OlympiaIrishFan]

Our program is in the dumpster, and OSU isn't. They also destroyed us last year They are in such a better place than us, how can we blame him. I can totally see bk not in contact, I think he is in his Ivory Tower. I thing jeter shed light on that.

Holy $HIT! Am I ever getting sick of these kind of posts. Yes OSU is doing better than us right now. We aren't where we want to be and we just had a down year but we are by no means in the "dumpster." And Kelly in his Ivory Tower??? Come on dude....that's ridiculous. Do you know how many recruits he's visited lately? Try not being so miserable and if that's too hard for you, I suggest rooting for and/or following another team.

If by ivory tower you mean on the road recruiting, then yes. Yes he is in his ivory tower.

 

[BobbyMac]

I can't wait for Markese to tell us what really happened.

Is that before or after he switches his commitment to tOSU????

update the bannerz while you are at it

 

[zelezo vlk]

Still listed as a commit on the front page with the other 2017 recruits. Can that be fixed?

No, it can't. They used permanent internet code.

We are also unable to change "Notre Dame, Signed LOI" or "Notre Dame Signee" to, for example, "Notre Dame, class of 2017." Just can't be done.
