'21 NC RB Will Shipley (Clemson Verbal)

[BeauBenken]

Here comes the season long depression of our fans.

Get your crap together you sad sacks. Sometimes you get boat raced. I like that you guys talk about the kids giving up when you're just as pathetic of a lot.

I'm still hoping that the team is pissed off for greatness after getting embarrassed like that against Michigan.

Right?

This team can still go 10-2 (and get to 11 wins with a bowl win!) but apparently everything sucks, totally and without redemption.

I'm bummed about the way Book is playing and the way Chip Long calls most of his games... but we know they are capable of much, MUCH more than what they showed against scUM.

Let's hope they respond and get to 10 wins, because recruiting and fixing the few issues holding the team back depend on it.

Totally agree with statement. And besides how is anyone already giving up on a recruit that is 2 years away from even playing college football. I would bet any odds that Vegas lays down that ND and coach Taylor don't stop recruiting him. So I am going to sit back and see how this all plays out.

Not sure if something is brewing here but Mike Singer seems to put a story out about will Shipley every other week. Wonder if it is because he is from the south but it's still odd

i haven't check in on Will so not sure, but i am assuming he's meaning committing otherwise he wouldn't be spending that much time

For the good guys?

Assuming that's the inference. Mike Singer is a reporter at Blue & Gold.

That would be amazing. But I will not get my hopes up

Lance Taylor headed to NC to watch him play on Friday https://247sports.com/college/notre...re-Dame-and-5-star-RB-Will-Shipley-139595773/

Loy also thinks he'll announce his decision as early as February

IDK how he doesn't go to OSU and take over and win titles but if ND can lock him up, wow.

We actually have legit star RBs for the forseeable future.

there's nothing more refreshing to me than your level of pessimism LOL

 

[InKellyWeTrust]

Does Long's departure help or hurt here?

 

[KizerWilhelm]

Lance Taylor is his primary recruiter, so possibly help if he sees his stature go up.

And really, with the reports that ND faced a mass player exodus/revolt if they kept Long, the answer might by default be "help"

 

[Luckylucci]

Seems like the main connection has been Taylor. He's the main contact and the guy who's visited him recently (twice).

I must have missed that part. Who was rumored to jump ship if Long stayed? SIAP.

Yeah, still need to hear about this one. Mass exodus?

 

[arrowryan]

Link?

It was in an article behind a paywall by Prister. He didn't go into great detail. Basically the players didn't like him and who knows what would've happened if he was retained. Prister described his coaching style as "old school" and old school left the building in 2016.

 

[spoonidentity]

It was a premium post on IrishIllustrated, written by Tim Prister. It was the third sentence in the article, quite jarring that it was so prominent.

I'm not sure if I can post the exact quote based on board rules, but I can guarantee you that this is what he is referencing.

 

[arrowryan]

From Prister

The relationship between coach and players was not a healthy one. There would have been a mutiny on the team had Long returned. That’s just the way it had evolved…or devolved. He’s old school and old school left the building a long time ago.

If this breaks IE rules, I apologize.

yikes if true that'll be a dent in his chances of getting his next job.

Is this kid similar to Tyree? He seems kinda small, would like to see ND go after a big power RB

He's McCaffrey 2.0

 

[BobbyMac]

He's McCaffrey 2.0

I think he's more like Danny Woodhead...

Come on everyone, you know the drill!

I see him as Cam McDaniel, but with better top-end speed.
