Does anyone know if we offered JayShawn Ross with him being from St Louis you would think we might have shot?

We have and it’s not a likelihood. He’s looking at other schools, and ND is looking at other players.

Small thing (unless you have STL in your handle) but JayShawn Ross appears to be from Kansas City.

Another way to keep an overachieving assistant coach happy. Unimportant, but funny, snippet from Loy's Coach's on the Road feature:

Lastly, the luckiest of the group, special teams coordinator Brian Mason will be in the state of Hawaii all week doing some area recruiting. Whether he lands anyone or not, after what his group did this season, this couldn’t be a more deserving trip for the elite special teams coach.

They're not worthless. They signify a silent commit, which outside of Dante Moore, was the vast majority of our class this past year.

Crystal Balls have value since they are to a specific player.

Acknowledging a silent commit but not which recruit is giving that (fairly useless) commit which by definition isn't public to begin with is like acknowledging a tree that falls in Siberia. I know trees fall in Siberia but who cares?

FWIW there were many other dancing emojis that didn't pan out other than Dante Moore. But of course, you can always reverse engineer the outcome since no recruit is actually tied to the dancing emoji. Hence the stupidity of it.

No, all of the silent commits worked out last year sans Moore. But you can reverse engineer any outcome to be the miserable "irish fan" you want to be.

A handful of D Line verbals would really be something. Then sign them all come December.

Silencing some of these little pockets out in our ND Football atmosphere is becoming refreshing.

Sorry you don't like my answer. There was more than just Moore btw and it was covered extensively here.

how would we know if he doesnt say the names?
Numbers would match up and using reason. For example, I expect these 3 silent commits to commit some time in the next 2-3 weeks. It doesn't count in my book if he says there's a silent and then they commit two months later.

Check the posting history player. Been here 10+ years.

So what does that mean? LOL. I noticed you didn't answer the question. Probably washed it down with some Mountain Dew.

You seem particularly emotional about this subject. If you dig these useless Dancing Emojis then enjoy Irish Breakdown and pay for that kind of intel.

Son, I know you're touched in the head, but I'm not Driskell. Proven by how I've been posting here for a long time. You're part of the influx of people in the last year that just add nothing positive to site and exist just to post trash. In fact, I even criticized Driskell in another thread in the last 10 minutes. One with some more positive news, which I'm sure you're not one to frequent as it doesn't fit with your narrative of being BKs best friend. But I've wasted enough of my life arguing with you. To the ignore list you go.

im not one side or another here and i dont listen jsut going off what ive read on here.

It does seem like there is a lot of wiggle room to ensure not being wrong. if there is some level of timeliness between the prediction (emojis??) to the announcements then i would think you could draw some direct conclusions.

Has that happened - beyond me.

I will say that I do recall some specific calling out of the vagueness in his predictions last summer to Irish Drunk's point.

I have never met BK but I do think he is a good coach.

I just know stupid recruiting intel semantics when I see it- that's all. Glad you take such pleasure in it and I am sure you see value in IB that I don't.

Crystal Balls are far more on the record than what IB offers.

He needs to just go back to that discussion. FWIW. Otherwise its the blind leading the blind.

I think there may have been one outside of Moore, but the rest had commitments in the next month. Yes, it can leave wiggle room and isnt specific, but if I'm looking at a data set, I'm going to go with the thing that has a 90% chance of something happening. Also, it's pretty easy to cross reference Driskells dancing gifs across 247, ISD, On3 etc.

I was a member of that site at the time & spoke to people there and I remember the large number of dancing Gifs (Tupac & Carlton) and I was told who they were at the time.
The only two who were dancing Gifs who didn’t sign were Moore & Hanafin.

Again, what is the value if you don't know who the silent commits are? Its a joke, really. Again, as useful as a fart in the wind - even if it was accurate which it hasn't been.

But if it gets your juices flowing, have at it and pay for that intel baby!
