Lynch explains his decommitment

[NDFANnSouthWest]

What if we were to extend an offer to Mama Lynch...her number would be 19!

 

[Sherm Sticky]

sorry GD i had to do it !! hahhaha

as for Lynch i wish him the best of luck with his future, it would have been nice to see him play on the ND field every saturday, but hey life goes on. you win some you lose some !

I really wish we ran a 4-3 system. I think recruiting DLine to a 3-4 is going to eventually be problematic over time.

 

[iamtrulyblessed]

If I could I would.....Lol and thanks for your kindness.

 

[fitz_bu47]

It's hard when people don't do what you THINK you would do if you were in their position. We all would love to play for ND and would not think about any other school, but this isn't our life, it's Aaron's and he has to do what he has to do, and I wish he and Alice luck.

 

[NDFANnSouthWest]

Ms. Lynch....we will miss you guys I for one still think ND is the best place for you two...however only you and Aaron know ALL the details that go into your decision. We have/had a strong bond with you guys and it hurts to lose a member of our family....so although we as a ND community did not make the best choices in expressing our selves...please realize we are most passionate about the ones we love.

I agree with you. I think they are going to eventually move to a 4-3 scheme. I know they played the 3-4 this year, because of the lack of depth on the D-line. I think and hope they move to a 4-3.
That being said Alabama runs a 3-4 and Saban doesn't seem to have any issues getting recruits on the D-line.

 

[iamtrulyblessed]

I can honestly understand, because if I didn't I wouldn't be in here right now. thank you

Notre Dame's had trouble recruiting d-lineman for about 7 or 8 years now. Look through the best classes of the last decade and there aren't very many defensive tackle recruits in there. I'm not sure how needing more d-line man in the 4 - 3 is going to make the recruiting problem any easier?

Man, if we just had a couple of guys who we lost late...Trattou, Hunter, Martin, now Aaron....can't live in the past, and I love the guys we have, and the guys coming in, but man it's hard not to think about adding all those guys to Ian/Ethan/Kapron etc.etc., in front of Manti/Carlo.

From Demetrius Jones per quote from DD.... "I wish I would have never left Notre Dame" Captain Hindsight needs to build a time machine!

The worst feeling in life is looking back with regret, and throwing a chance away to get a FREE Notre Dame education would fall in that category IMO. Hopefully this is a Mute point and Aaron has successful careers both on and off the field, he is a good kid, from a good family.[/quote
Unfortunately, 18 year olds don’t think of the future. To get a good education at a great University, for free no less, should be a top priority for these kids. Notre Dame would make sure he got his degree-that is why they have a 95% student athlete graduation rate. They can go to schools like FSU and have fun with no academic pressure, but in the end, if things don’t work out in football, like happens to most of them, they will regret it for the rest of their lives. As it has been stated before, this is a 40 year decision, not a four year one. Most 18 year olds can’t grasp that.

 

[IrishinSyria]

For all of you who have bashed him and said some negative, mean comments...........I will pray for you!!

Thank you.

And I sincerely hope Aaron gets the complete college experience he deserves. He'll be great on the field no matter where he ends up, but he's going to have to fight for the right to get a world-class education at some of these other places (it's definitely possible, but the same people who were in his ear telling him that ND was too hard will be telling him which classes to take so he doesn't have to worry about homework)... maybe he'll end up better for it.

how is sun bathing 101 sound. lol

Sounds like a "Do you want fries with that" future after football.... LOL...I keed I keed.... but seriously.

I had no intentions of coming back in here because of the bashing some of you guys have done to me and my son, but one of the members sent me a message on facebook and told me to come and read this new thread. Well, first of all, I will be honest just like I have been from the beginning. My apologies for the actions my son took when he decommited, I had no idea how it was done till Monday evening. I wasn't with him when this all took place and of course he didn't even tell me because he knew it wasn't the way it should of been handled. Thirdly, I didn't lead you guys on about my sons commitment at all. Fourthly, the comments that some of you are making about my son, SHAME ON YOU, my son will achieve and he will make it in college and will become a better man. Yes, he's made some mistakes in this process, but to bash him and to say the things some of you guys have said.....................WOW it's just terrible. The way he texts, come on now we are in 2010 and maybe some of you guys should get with it, current players at ND do text the same way my son does and guess what they are all supportive of my sons decision and haven't bashed him in no way at all. Aaron is a great person on and off the field, he's got the biggest heart, and at the same time he's learning what it is to become more mature, and thru this process he has stumbled in some areas where he wished he would of done differently, but by god that's a part of growing up. For all of you who have bashed him and said some negative, mean comments...........I will pray for you!!

I wasn't going to comment on this thread (from my history, you can see I am not exactly prolific on commenting, but I visit very often), but I did want to say one thing to Mama Lynch...I already know you will, but keep very close tabs on your son's academic career and guidance at whichever school he does end up at. I see you standing up for him and guiding him with what you say in your posts here and he should realize how trulyblessed HE is to have you in his corner. If he was told to be afraid of ND academics, I would say to watch out what classes and major they want him to go into as well as how they will "help" him study. He can still get a very good education elsewhere (I personally went to a Big 10 school), but he will need you as a shoulder angel to make sure he follows the right path.

Take care and good luck to both of you!

 

[BestBIrish47]

Cant.......Stop........Posting......on .......This .....Thread...........Be afraid of ND academics? AKA They are calling him dumb, how does that work in recruiting? That is crazy to me...Aaron is a bright kid, and is being treated like special ed...I would find that offensive.

The problem with the 3-4 is that the linemen are essentially blocking decoys. They take on linemen and let the LBs make the plays. Not much glory in that for an 18 year old kid at commit time.

Part of the Dline recruiting and production issues are also likely due to the fact we've switched schemes 5 times since 2003.

Just be careful of all the false promises...look at what happened in particular to Omar Hunter...Ask Meyer about that...see him squirm or lie to you with a straight face.

As for FSU "academics"...don't forget the recent rampant cheating scandal there across many sports...and don't forget "alum" like Sanders who bragged of never going to class...and can barely speak English...

As for that pos Meyer...ask him why there have been a record number of arrests under his watch (plus 30). What kind of environment is that where guns are brought (AK 47s and shots fired) or players threaten death to others???( Rainey who surprise surprise is playing...). Also, ask him about the kid dismissed this week from the team. Got beat out by another big time recruit...lost his spot...and presto he "violated" team rules or some bs...aka has someone coming in next year so Meyer wanted to clear up a spot...

FSU and Florida might be "fun" to party at...but your son will need his degree to make a living off once his football days are over. If they say ND is too hard for your son, isn't that an insult to his intelligence and also saying he is not a hard worker with any potential?

Can I ask you one last question. Has your son actually now mustered up the courage to call our coaches and talk to them?? IMO, its the least he can do as a matter of respect.

Later. When you and your son visit Meyer, tell meyer that the "CroatianSensation" thinks he is an a.sshole.

a four year scholarship to notre dame: $200,000?

a four year scholarship to a florida or a fsu (in-state schools): $15,000?

losing ~$185,000 on a text message. priceless.

No need for this anymore. Aaron isn't coming to ND. Aaron and Alice know the pros and cons of each school, it's their decision not ours.
Again I think this thread should be closed by a MOD now.
