Isn't NDSean big into that too? IIRC he changed his S/N on IE.

This is what I was getting at. I have no problem with congratulating someone or saying good luck. I hope Braden is tweeting other recruits and recruiting for us. I am talking about fans full blown tweeting recruits and trying to recruit them. I have a very strong dislike and disagree with it 110%. This is what I'm talking about Crusader.
I am also not in favor or Braden telling ND fans to tweet and go after Malik Vann. Leave that up to the coaches and recruits. Take Nebraska fans for example, they do more recruiting then their actual coaches. It doesn't really work for them. Leave the crootin to the recruits and coaches and people affiliated to the ND football program.
Example Jafar Armstrong says major announcement coming tomorrow. First comment is a sweaty creepy fan in the background with a smirk. I busted out laughing at this because nothing screams COME TO ND more than this.
Damefan is a good dude but he's got a reputation and stuff like this is what I'm talking about.
There is a very, very high chance that BK asked Lenzy to do that. And by all accounts it worked. I have no problem whatsoever with fans tweeting recruits when a commit literally tells them to tweet a recruit. I'm not sure how you can look at the interaction yesterday and say that things would have been better if no one tweeted at Vann after Lenzy said that...

No there is not. BK has told the fanbase on several occasions not to do so.

Ah that's fair. Didn't know that. Question remains though: do you think it would be better for ND overall if no one had responded to Lenzy's tweet urging ND fans to tweet at Vann?

Careful Wooly, that kind of talk will get you some time in solitary.
Guys I have no problem with Lenzy wanting to start a hashtag and him tweeting at Vann. My problem is where fans tweet at Vann and ask/beg/recruit him to ND. It could be a NCAA violation in some instances. If you think BK told Lenzy to start the hashtag and have fans tweet at Vann then I don't know what to tell ya

Yeah I doubt BK told Lenzy to do it, Probably the recruiting coordinator did
Who you think ND fanbase lead recruiter is?
I finally decided to let my subscriptions go to the two sites I belonged to. I've followed this board for years (I guess a decade lol) so figured why not add my nonsense to the fold!

exactly. We may not like it, but they do.
You clearly post on rivals
You caught me. I'm not saying he ever was inappropriate but unless you have a prexisting relationship leave the kids alone, and let the coaching staff handle the recruiting. He felt the need to buddy up to all this kids and it just came across as incredibly creepy, even thinking about it makes me uncomfortable and I work with kids.
Lol he takes it to another level. Adds them on Facebook and hits them up all the time for recruiting info. Great guy but just takes it to a level it doesn't need to go too. His blog and youtube videos are legendary. We could be 4-8 and the way he talks you think we are 13-0! BUILDING WARRIORS. Let's talk about Marvin Austin hot tub pictures and pecs. lol every time I hear this story I think of Koon.
I saw leave them alone at all times. The staff, lenzy and Stepp can handle it

Back to Lenzy. I see a little Golden in him. Golden Tate that is.

If Lenzy says: "show him how much love there is ND" and then...crickets. Isn't the silence going to embarrass him to some other school with hurt feelings?
I can see what he might become like Golden. But out of high school Golden was basically a RB. I doubt he ever fills out like Golden did. He was a thick dude. Lenzy reminds me of Kenny Stills
I sure hope not

I can see Kenny Stills. Lenzy is faster I believe though.

He might be. Lenny and Stills both long ball go get it. I don't like the Fuller comparison...yet. What seperated Fuller from everyone was his ability to track the deep ball. Let's see if Lenzy can develop that

I agree with your optimism. This kid has some skills.
Tate was thick but I think his most important skillset was his strong hands and ability to win a jump ball. Not sure how much of that was due to his thickness.
Lenzy has e|!te speed and great hands. I think he's got some Tate in him.
I'm sure you'll agree that it's ok to let Lenzy be Lenzy. I think we'll be comparing future WRs to him just like Tate and Fuller.

Agree.
Also agree. You are dead on with Fuller's ability to track the deep ball. It's a very difficult skill set. As good as Stephenson was last year, he was very poor at tracking deep ball.

It's gonna be hard for anyone to live up to Fuller's deep threat ability. I've never seen anything like it. Lenzy can be a great deep threat but Fuller was something special. If he was single covered he was gonna make the play. Adoree has world class speed and is a great corner and Fuller made him his B.
The only other guy I can think of in my viewing experience (mid 2000's til now) who was comparable to Fuller on the deep ball is maybe Ted Ginn while he was at OSU. Lenzy can be great but Fuller is such a hard guy to be compared to as far as deep threats go. Maybe Lenzy can round out the rest of his game better than Fuller did. We'll see but Lenzy has great potential for sure. Glad we got him.

I think Calvin Johnson was comparable. I'd take Fuller over him, but Johnson was comparable, in my opinion.

Very true. I forgot about him. Also...Randy Moss. Little before my time of watching college football religiously but I do remember the great ones from when I was younger. He fits the bill for sure. And the crazy thing about Megatron and Moss is that they continued the dominance in the NFL too. Both on the deep balls and all around greatness. But as far as pure deep threat...I still haven't seen anyone like Fuller at the college level.
