He should, Shipley telling everyone who will listen how easy of a decision it was. He’s slapping a lot of faces with that.

Just makes our staff look even worse for their recruiting strategy of choice. Hopefully they learn from this.

how? shipley obviously was giving our staff the vibe he was interested in coming here or we wouldn't have gone all in.....same people bitching about missing out on the 5*s are the same ones bitching about us signing lower star rb's...he was identified as #1 on the board and we went after him.....its recruiting you win and lose some

THIS X 1000%.

While I do agree we could have had some open lines of communication going/back channel stuff ( and we might have), sometimes you have to show guys all the love. It didn't work this time. Would you rather be SkunkBear and offer EVERYONE. Cheapens every offer they send out.

I worked in scouting/recurting for a few different NAHL/USHL hockey teams. Sometimes you go above and beyond for guys, you think you have em, all the stars align and POOF they are gone. It sucks but it happens. MOVE ON lads...

Ryan Barnes... his tread and to put my off rail post back on track. My reading of the BF tea leaves, sounds like he could pop soon eh?

Also, with regards to Shipley saying it's an easy decision, I mean, that's his team now, and he's building it the same way Blake is trying on our end. Even if it was the hardest decision of his life, it'd be weird for him to air that constantly.

Sam Webb from UM 247 picked ND. UM is the biggest competition here. Feels like this sets up for a Abiara de-commitment followed by a Barnes commitment.

I’ll take a Barnes/Bennett for Abiara trade every day of the week and 10x on gameday.

How??! By putting virtually ALL of their eggs in a single basket when the writing was arguably on the wall the whole time. Carolina kid to boot. Literally no reason not to simultaneously recruit the others on the board. If Shipley couldn't understand that, then he was never meant to play here.

I think ND had a select group of guys they wanted first, and Shipley was the guy who showed the most interest. I know Kiner was never going to happen. Edwards may have been a possibility if they pushed, but I think that was probably an even bigger stretch than Shipley.

For me, I just wish they kept on LJ Johnson. I get some of the other names waiting for Shipley to decide, but Johnson could've been courted a bit while we waited.

Was bored and on mgoblog reading what they had to say about Spindler and came across this re Barnes.

Apparently he is visiting his grandparents right now (who if you remember live in Warsaw, IN) and will be doing a little unofficial campus visit similar to what Bounds did. Supposedly he is going to commit while on campus.

ND for sure. Maybe Michigan if it was on MGoBlo?

He's going to commit this weekend (Or announce it & make it official if he hasn't notified the staff already)

Loy mentioned he might swing by both ND and UM but I’ve seen no follow up on that. As mentioned before, UM is actually our biggest competition, not Clemson.
