recruiting

[Irish Canuck]

Screw recruiting...
Leafs lost last night!
But.... then NC beat Duke... so it was a wash.

I'm more depressed over the fact that spring training has started and now I have to hear about baseball....
....makes my friggin' ears bleed....
I put it on at night to fall asleep...

Rumour has it that ND has 10 silent verbals....

....maybe.

I wouldn't worry too much about commits as of right now. It's still very early though. We'll have to wait and see what happens when the Spring Game is over, what happens. I would expect a few after the Spring Game. Maybe not, but it'll be nice to have.

Fitz,I guess you are one of the ones who thinks 7-5 is a good season!Maybe it's okay with you that it's been 20 yrs. last nc,15 yrs. last bowl win,3-9 last year,losing to NAVY,and blownout by AIR FORCE at home, going thru coach after coach since Lou left,being mocked by other fans,really doing nothing since 1993 and etc.,etc.,etc.I guess you are ok with all of this,I'am not this is my team and I want to see them dominate the college football world!I'am pretty sure from 1988-1993 fans expected excellance!The same can be said from Leahy's,Rockne's,Devine's, and Parshagian(sorry about the spelling)era!!!If you think expecting the best is complaining,well I'am sorry then!

Sounds to me like 19 just likes to get under peoples skin. 19 of course we all would like to have a few commits right now but we don't and most of us feel that CW and his staff have proven that they can and will recruit and will work like dogs while they are doing it. Also 19 you seem to think that some people are ok with a 7-5 record.......my guess is that true ND fans never think 7-5 records are ok. I would also betcha that at the beginning of every game we think we are going to win. WE ARE...........ND WE ARE........ND

One other thing I don't think we like to read stuff from people who are continually negative about things if we wanted that most of us would just stay off the sites and talk more to our spouses!

No. We will not ever receive any more commitments to the University of Notre Dame. Football at ND will cease to exist once the 2008 class, as seniors playing both offense and defense, graduate.

We'll also go 7-5 until those players graduate, and everyone here except rockne19 will be perfectly fine with that record, as we've become accustomed to not having any expectations with our football team and therefore refusing to cheer/tailgate/attend games in South Bend.

I hope that was sarcasm Katz. I will agree with 19 on the point that 7-5 is not acceptable unless it is a step in improving the program. Like it or not, our beloved program is in a rebuilding mode and we all need to keep that in mind. CW has shown what he can do with experienced players with some talent and has done a pretty good job recruiting.
With the schedule as it is this coming season, I am looking more at 9-3 with us winning a 2nd tier bowl game. I expect we will see improved line play on both sides of the ball and an offense which can actually move the ball. It will all be about improvement!

Bummer- I missed out on all the fun this weekend. Didn't realize the recruiting for 09 had already been declaired a disaster and we would be guaranteed a 7-5 record , which must be accepted by all as good enough unless you call for heads to roll.

Oh, well. I guess I must have to switch to baseball now. :smilewink hwhateve

 

[Irish Canuck]

Holy Crap!
This just in.....

The sky is falling.

You guys are too serious. I think over the past two years Charlie has proven that he's a competent hard working recruiter.... let it happen.

RELAX!

He's already said that we're going to be more selective and put out less offers this year in interviews.

AGAIN.... RELAX!

Now..... back to my baseball pre-season game.

Reds are on, this thread may be time to go.

 

[Jason Pham]

Aye, there are many things that would be nice... oh like posting threads in the appropriate forums, a little sensibility, warmer weather.

I have no doubt will see another one shortly, so have no fear.
