Other teams flip a recruit: tough luck brah, coffee is for closers only.

Notre Dame potentially flips a recruit: SNAKES! This is disgusting. Notre Dame and Under Armor are paying the coach. You can’t do that!

Search his name on Twitter. It’s almost as good as Hardcore Huskies. People are convinced we are forcing his high school coach to force Asa to sign to orovide him with UA funding for his 7 on 7 league.

I'm probably misinterpreting your words, but are you suggesting Turner has leadership skills and two extra inches of height that Drue Tranquill doesn't have? Or are you saying you hope Turner (if he signs with ND) will have those same leadership skills in a slightly longer body?

Turner may be two inches taller than Tranquill (not that 2 inches of additional height really matters that much), but Tranquill certainly doesn't lack leadership skills. He was playing with one good ankle at times this season. His commitment to play when hurt was inspirational for the defense as a whole. One can only hope that Turner and/or Kiser will have that same type of character. The play of our defense this year displayed the leadership that previous ND defenses lacked. The play of Tranquill and Coney had a lot to do with that.

I'm just saying we have no idea if Asa is the greatest leader of all time, the worst, or somewhere in between. TBD.

I fully believe Tranquill is a fantastic leader.

He's definitely much longer but there's nothing out there that suggests Asa is a sub 11 sec 100M guy.

This. He's Drue+. Hope we get to see a pic of the two of them together once JK gets on campus.

His ESPN profile that I looked at in the beginning of his recruitment shows pretty lackluster speed results, which is probably why I've never been all that high on him. Decent shuttle but poor 40. Not sure where the the numbers came from as I could not find anything on him in terms of the Nike Opening. He does have a "sparq" listed on ESPN's page though. Anyway, I doubt the 40 time is accurate if WA is looking at him for S. IIRC film was pretty limited. If WA is going after him hard at S, that says something. If ND hasn't given up all this time, that says something. That's enough for me anyway.

Flipping a recruit was only acceptable prior to 2018. Any university that prides itself from being a catholic institution and tries to sway a football recruit in a different direction is disgusting!

Merica.

He did The Opening LA Regional this past summer but didn't run the 40. I believe the score above was from the summer of 2017.

I like Asa and it'd be cool if he signed with ND, but 33-year-old me remembers how pissed 21-year-old me was when Gary Gray was rumored to be visiting Florida after he committed to ND and I feel so embarrassed that I cared that much about any prospect's decision.

Starting to feel sorry for this kid. He doesn't strike me as the type of kid who would appreciate this kind of attention. Saw that that site was encouraging everyone to hit Asa up on Twitter to let him know he is loved. Seriously don't believe that site has mods. Let the hate pour out.

I don't know how to put this, but I'm kind of a big deal. My post was screenshotted and put forth as a representation of IE. I am global. I am a multi message board thing.

Congrats dude..that's quite an accomplishment...

Been on the road most of the day. From reading the last page I guess we're still in "holding" mode and Huskie fans still hate Catholics and anything associated with ND? Amirite?

I wish the fans on that board were a bit more clever. It gets boring reading unadulterated vitriol. Have a little fun with the hate.

Yeah they have only three main attacks repeated ad nauseam, and there's so much hate among them when there's really no bad blood between our programs

> LOL Catholic Diddlers!

> Brian Kelly killed a kid

> ND has put NOBODY in the NFL


Can't help but be reminded of this scene from Madmen

whoa whoa whoa. You aren’t global. You’re a fan of Notre Dame, a school in Buttfuck, Indiana that doesn’t even have good academics. We’re basically the Washington of the Midwest.

At this point, I'd be really surprised if he ended up at ND. Usually the longer something like this takes, the less likely they are to pull the trigger.

Then again, I thought this was all BS heading into NSD because we were full at the position so what do I know?

It's truly hilarious to watch something like this play out where the other side is obsessed over something most hear are completely apathetic about.

Found this Welcome/Warning on a different thread on the Hardcore site. It explains a lot. LOL

First off, welcome to our message boards. The first thing you'll notice is that you're not in Kansas anymore. In this era of heavy-handed censorship, we've created a place where people can relax and say what's on their mind.

We've become a magnet for rascals, scoundrels, and the dispossessed. Our best posters are clever and eccentric. Many of them have been banned from every other football message board on the west coast. One military member (AZDuck) calls this place his "Internet Romper Room".

My best advice to you is to lurk awhile and get acclimated before posting. Now, why would I say that? Good question.

If I had a nickel for every naïve soul that wandered onto our boards looking for Pollyanna discussions about the Dawgs, or wanting to find the coldest beer near Husky Stadium, I wouldn't have to solicit donations. (You can help out by donating here)

Yes, things can get ugly for newcomers really quick. Like a tourist going for a quick swim in a South American river, only to be devoured by piranhas. As our elder statesman Race Bannon says, "Hardcore Husky is a combination of Lord of the Flies and Full Metal Jacket. If you don't get shanked or kill yourself, you're in!"

Or let's look at a post made by the irreverent poster AllPurpleAllGold.

"The thing is we don't need new posters. We make better posters. One poster here is worth a hundred on Dawgman.com.

"That's because Dawgman.com is a place for random people to hang out and talk Husky football. This is a place to hang out with your friends. And new friends are always welcome. But the sucky ones will get weeded out."

That's why if you have some game and can endure the initial hazing, you'll have a blast here.

"The football talk here is top notch and all the bullshit in between is pretty fucking fun. You can't talk football 24/7. I enjoy fucking around until the next football related story/event drops. That's really what we're doing here.

"Don't try to mainstream this place or try to win over the respect of the athletic department. Those motherfuckers come and go, year in and year out, you don't. Fuck em!

"HardcoreHusky's perceived weakness is it's very strength. Embrace it. There is a hell of a lot of activity here, at least from my perspective.

"I have to act professionally 8-10 hours a day and it's fucking stifling. I spend all day being neutral and non-offensive so I can pay the bills. I love this outlet.

"At work, social gatherings, semi-professional parties, I go hang with the outcast smokers even though I'm not a smoker. That's where the real shit is happening, that's what this place is.

"Every day something here makes me laff. The last place I want to be is some politically correct, soft pussy bullshit-everyone-gets-trophy message bored.

"Keep this bitch going and keep the cunts outta here."

Another Pac-12 interloper, Bearswiin, explained the value he derives from Hardcore Husky:

"This is a place for true fans, no matter what colors they wear. You want to play footsie with rah-rah lemmings from UW, Dawgman is the place for you. But here, these are the people who dared to expect more from UW than the shit they got with Ty and Sark, and were banned from Dawgman for it. These guys aren't afraid to question or criticize their team or school for what it does wrong, in addition to cheering for what their team and school does right.

"I respect these people. I've known and bantered with many of them for a dozen years on several boards, some of which don't exist anymore. It would also seem that they respect me, because they recognize that I, too, am a true fan, even if I root for another team. And I'm not the only outsider here; there are several other non-Huskies here who enjoy and "get" this liberating environment. I dare not speak for them, for they have their own voices, but for mine own, I'll say as nicely as possible: go fuck yourself."

The UW 247 mods were handling it fairly well early on but once Petersen started whining like a bitch, they are also all in on conspiracy theories.

So the premise is that ND is doing shady and conspiracy theory level stuff for a recruit like Turner when they haven't for literally dozens of other, more important recruits?

Only a matter of time until they blame Trump, Jews, the Illuminati, and Kyrie Irving.

I find their comments funny on so many levels. Would have been good to read that site when Sark was there.

Love how the one poster bashes ND as an irrelevant academic school and then says an undergrad degree is only useful if you major in engineering or business... thanks for cherry picking NDs two best programs lol
