Meyer's Impact on 2010 ND Recruiting

[BGIF]

Urban Meyer's resignation sends shock waves through Florida's top-ranked class - ESPN

J.C. Shurburtt's article on Meyer includes comments from several UF verbals/prospects on their shock at his departure.

It doesn't include ND but I included it in the title for this thread. I don't see UF recruits jumping to ND without Meyer. To start with only one, Travon Van, is from north of the Mason Dixon Line. More significantly most weren't offered by ND. If Kelly has little time and a staff of 4 (all ND holdovers) to assemble info and arrange transcripts, trips, etc if he is to lure any of them from Gainsville.

Recruits who haven't made a choice like Lemonier have used up all 5 visits. Looking through the Gator list of prospects CBs Shaw and Riggs would be the most probable prospects for ND - had they had ND in their final choices. ND gets any play out of his departure it most likely will be recruits like Hendrix or Seantrel Henderson crossing UF off from consideration. But for those like Henderson the ND doesn't jump into the lead.

I see Riggs and Shaw as the only Fla. recruits as admissions go aheads at ND.... the rest could just be graduation problems...

Alford may have a connection to Shaw.... Riggs could go stronger to Fla. if Strong heads up the program... Petrino could spell problems with Hendrix...

Would be nice to pull in Shaw now that Joyner picked FSU, but i dont know how i see that happening.

THough, Kelly did coach 2 AA CBs while at Cincy last season.

I'd be scared with Urbey flip-flopping.... mental instability...

Won't effect ND... but if you think you won't be coached by the offensive coordinator for all of 2010 and in an unstable coaching situation in 2011 - or beyond - by definition: you are a dumb and gullible high school kid.
