'18 GA OG Jamaree Salyer (Georgia Signee)

[zelezo vlk]

And just like that, our hopes of a 4 year starter are vanquished.

It could be just because of the hurricane? Maybe he'll come back later?

Reported to be a death in family.

That's too bad. Hope all ends ok for his family.

He wasn't expecting much of a game anyways. When asked for a prediction he gave:

Jamaree Salyer/5-star OG/Pace Academy/Atlanta — “Georgia 28, Notre Dame 14.”

So what you're saying is... when ND rolls by 17 he will make sure he schedules that USC game!? I like it!!

Hope everything is alright for him/his family.

And if you have to play the education card, don't forget the Head of School at his high school is Fred Assaf... whose son is ND soph WR Mick Assaf's and Jamaree's former teammate at Pace.

I sat in front of Mick Assaf's younger brother at the Temple game. Seems like a good young lad, plays Lacrosse at Pace.
I think he was telling me about Salyer (I think he said: "number one recruit in nation goes to my school") but there were some accent issues so I couldn't really work out who he was talking about...until now. Otherwise I would have asked some more questions and tried to get a vibe if Salyer is coming to Notre Dame. Instead, I asked him if his brother was going to play today which he seemed to think was pretty funny.

Top 2 Clemson and UGA, deciding Dec. 20th, will EE

Also:

Salyer told Simmons that Notre Dame, Ohio State and possibly Stanford are still in play, but those schools are firmly in a tier below the two schools closest to home for the lineman from Atlanta.

Dawgnation reporting ND and Stanford have been cut from Salyer's list. UGA and Clemson remain the Top 2 while OSU and Florida will receive OV's.

In light of recent FBI activity, the cynic in me immediately thought, "ND and Stanford won't enter a bidding war."

But then I realized it's probably as simple as "we ain't come to play school"

i dont know still seems fishy that he narrowed to two (uga, clemson) with OSU, ND, Stanford in second tier on the 25th, then 4 days later Florida is getting a visit?

maybe it was always scheduled idk, but doesnt exactly pass a smell test either.

I was hoping Jamaree would be the dark horse to go to ND this year.

Here's how I think it happens. You start off the process knowing what everyone else does, and part of that is that certain schools-- Stanford, Notre Dame, Duke, etc.--are better academically, because they are. That's why all the best students scratch and claw to get in them (when they can make it work financially).

The recruiters (i.e., professional salesmen) from the big Power 5 schools eventually clue into the fact that you are academically minded, and they start pitching their schools in that manner.

The professional salesmen do their jobs, and eventually you are convinced that "all of these schools offer a top flight education." In fact, you would probably get most Irish Envy posters to agree in principle because its true. (It's not that the education at UGA is bad, its that its elite at ND, they are more committed to it, and it opens more doors, etc....)

So now that you are in the mindset that you can get a great education anywhere, schools like Florida (which are good schools), re-enter the picture.

When you step back years later, you may wonder why you turned down a full ride to Stanford, ND, Duke, etc., but you will have had your great memories and life-long friends: no regrets, YOLO, etc.

I think this is pretty accurate, at least from what I've seen from other fanbases trying to knock ND down a peg. They'll point to rankings which take into account undergrad AND graduate programs to "prove" that State U is better than ND. Of course, ND doesn't offer as many graduate programs and it hurts its ranking and the reality is that it's a much better undergrad school.

When I was on 247, I remember the Oklahoma mod tried to argue that OU was a better school than ND because it ranked higher on some obscure site on value for in state students. Made no sense, but often times 17 year old kids and parents who never went to college don't know any better.

you can't flunk out if you take a shitty degree!

You didn't drink enough in undergrad.

Put this one back on the shelf and let's look at some other options.

Just disappointing to see kids pass up extraordinary academic opportunities. In basketball, my own sport that I played in college, guys can leave after one year in college. Even the best of the best in college football are in school for 3 years. Some of them 7 semesters by the time they leave for the draft junior year because of summer school, early enrollment, etc. Not all, but some come back and finish their degree after attempting pro ball or during pro ball over the summer. And listen, if you know in high school exactly what degree you want to pursue the profession that you love, then any school that fits that mold is the right choice for you. For example, if you want to be an engineer and you know this in high school, Purdue and Illinois are two schools that aren't the highest rated schools overall academically, but have fantastic engineering programs. However, most kids, and I strongly emphasize most, do not have any idea what they want to study. For those instances, it makes sense to choose the best overall school you can get into because it opens more doors overall. For example, Notre Dame can offer a diverse and extremely well connected alumni base around the world which Illinois might not be able to offer outside of the engineering school and some other strong programs. (This comment is not an attack on Purdue and Illinois, they are fantastic institutions, just making a point related to their rankings in individual school vs. their overall prowess).

Boiler Nation strongly disagrees with your "overall" assessment. Ranked 16 out of 666 public universities.
