His brother, Cam, mentioned on Instagram that he was proud of his younger brother on getting the attention he deserved. Mentioned offers from Clemson, SDSU, and Oregon.Ended the post by saying "obviously I am biased @ndfootball where is the love?"

Gotta say that I agree with him. Love this kid's film. IMO Kid should be an offer and take ASAP.

Never heard of him, but evidently this Pannell guy has a hard-on for the Irish.

Hahhahah, for real!

"most under used talent on the field for four years"........ummmmm Does this guy not watch ND, or know the talent that BK has wasted! (italics necessary?)

 

[IrishLax]

Who is Matt Pannell?

And considering ND was: 1) Cam's biggest offer, by far & 2) Gave him lots of opportunities to produce... it's crazy to me that he doesn't think he got a "fair shot." If anything, he got more utilization than someone in his shoes normally would because he was liked by the coaches.

Consider that Cam wasn't even an UDFA caliber RB and we gave him 2x the carries of any other back in '13 despite a significantly lower YP than Folston/Atkinson. Then in '14 he had a woeful 3.6 YPC while Folston/Bryant both 5+ YPC... and we STILL gave him near 90 touches to Bryant's 60. Every school splits carries these days. The LEAD back for Bama had only 22% of the carries this year (total carries, including Hurts). In McDaniel's last year, he had 25% of the RB carries.

So either this Pannell guy is an idiot, or they have a warped sense of how McDaniel's career at ND went. By all accounts - industry and otherwise - it surpassed expectations.

I assumed this guy was just some random dude, but after looking at his twitter feed a little bit, it's fairly obvious that he has some kind of connection to Cam or the family.

If his thoughts represent the family's thoughts, then we probably don't have any shot at TJ even if we offered.

Oh I can’t wait. I am finally getting recruited and I may get the opportunity to tell my brother’s alma mater NO!!

Makes all that hard work I put in over the past three years worth it.

What are his thoughts on Joe Schmidt?

If his thoughts are the family's thought we should steer as far away here as possible. Cam McDaniel got the fairest shake of anyone I've ever seen save maybe Joe Schmidt. He got a lion's share of the carries ahead of multiple more talented backs, and was given the ball in a number of key situations. He sure as hell was not "underutilized" throughout his career as an 0.85 rating guy coming in and sub-UDFA level guy going out.

If those are the thoughts of the family, that's mind blowing and nonsensical and I lost a LOT of respect for them today

"Underutilized" the "best weapon" what the fuck are these people even watching...

Kind of expect Cam to tweet...... "@mattpannell STFU"....

cam was into selling advocare and this douche nozzle is or was also affiliated with that so maybe that's how...i see he is following a couple ND players/people and vice versa

Yes, it looks like he has a similar background to Cam's family. Has a strong desire to do ministry, but needed to pay the bills. Families connected selling Advocare.

Attended lots of ND games with Cam's Bro's and definitely has a close relationship with the family.

 

[BobbyMac]

Got his first CB recently to Minnesota from the Oregon analyst.

Since his Clemson offer 6 weeks ago, he's added:

Oregon
Minnesota
SDSU
Air Force

Waiting on the ND staff to offer like

[BobbyMac]

If this were any other RB in the country ND fans would be having a heart attack as to why they haven't offered. After these numbers, get ready for some grumbling. Definitely a rung up the ladder from Cam.

If he goes to SC, the game in which Cam became a meme...well that's just all kinds of wrong

 

[BobbyMac]

Got 4 SMU CB's today.

Hope he goes there an rushes for 6,000 yards and wins the '21 Heisman so he can join Moss & Kuechly at the top of the "What If" list.

 

[Henges24]

I feel like this is in the same ballpark as not offering Justin Tranquill.

Still think that kid would have balled out at ND.

Picked from a final two of SDSU and SMU. He wanted playing time badly. Interesting take on his brother's ND career:

His decision has come down to what he thinks is the best situation for him as much as it did what he learned from the experience of his older brothers. Where many prospects say they embrace the spirit of competing for a feature role in a big team’s offense, McDaniel has seen enough how things can actually play out once camp starts and is looking for a more authentic opportunity with the right program.

“I’ve seen two of my brothers kind of be an insurance policy for football teams,” he said. “My oldest brother [Cam McDaniel] was Built Ford Tough Player of the Year, went to Notre Dame and wasn’t used much. He went to the CFL, tried to get film and couldn’t get that there, now he’s just living life.

“My middle brother [Gavin McDaniel] goes to Azusa Pacific and he’s finishing out his senior year there. But I’ve seen both kind of become insurance policies and if a school really wants me after the year, I have to know the same thing isn’t going to happen to me.”
