If those were true he'd have better offers besides Ball State. Just saying. Word on the street is Deiter even ate him alive.

Not a cover corner. I totally agree with, in concept, why you say that it's an "interesting" (to be polite) offer with how the class is shaping up. Unlike CJ Prosise who has the ball skills to play CB/S/WR and has been a huge playmaker at 7on7 events and in HS; Turner is certainly an odd fit and a project.

To address you and Whiskey and the DOLB debate... I think there is a very, very real possibility that either Turner or Shumate or both grows into that position. I know Baratti, on paper, also seems like he has the frame to be a great fit... but my hunch says he ends up being a stud at safety and the next Zbikowski. He just moves like a lighter Zibby on film I've watched and think his future is in the secondary. But I understand where you guys are coming from and could for sure be very wrong here.

-----------------------------

As an aside... I was talking with some people over dinner who said "thank God Perkins didn't have the grades and Decker decommitted" And while I don't necessarily agree with them, it's interesting to consider where we stand. Ekanem is a better prospect than Perkins (on so many levels... including his personality... I say this not knowing Perkins and only seeing reports, but having info from my old HS sports district on Ekanem) and more importantly f the Armsteads commit with Ekanem we have ~1-2 spots left open for a CB and maybe one other player.

That means if Decker had stayed on board we'd either be turning away Ekanem, a CB or the Armsteads for a very high upside project player on the OL where we are already fine thanks to the Prestwood transfer. That's crazy to think about... and gives credence to the strong buzz that once Decker flipped our staff said "OK, have fun in Columbus" and there his spot was 100% gone no matter how much his parents might've thought the flip to OSU was a mistake.

Interesting read on Yuri...

Yuri Wright's tweets are why Michigan stopped recruiting him | ChatWolverines.com

Wow.. I am pretty liberal when it comes to the behavior of 18 year old kids, but damn... those tweets are pretty over the line. Magnusson was certainly inappropriate but it was an isolated incident. If he did come to Notre Dame, I would hope that Kelly would have a looooong talk about the appropriate behavior of a Notre Dame student athlete.

agree 100%

If that's how he represents himself in a public forum.... Well it isn't doing him any favors

Those are pretty harsh tweets for a 17 years old kid... I must be getting old.

Meh that's normal HS talk. Kid just needs to know not to put it on twitter.

He just needs to exercise some common sense. No one on this board is a saint, I am sure. He is still a young guy.

Sometimes you gotta race.

Pretty forgiving myself but this tells me he has zero common sense. He just fell way down my big board..... but not completely off.

That sounds more like the hockey locker room back in the day than HS talk. I went to prep school, so maybe we said the same things in a more proper fashion.

I have two trains of thought here.

A> And this policy is in effect per my Social Media stance on these kids, following him on Twitter or Facebook. Frankly if he is talking junk to his buddies that is what it should be like, maybe not that rough but perhaps more lax than say speaking in front of strangers. He also has to understand the ramifications of a Social Media world.

B> The mere mention of the word "weed" in this tweets is kind of a put off to me. Regardless of the fact that he is speaking about someone else, clearly he is in that culture. In short Red Flag central.

I'm currently at a Prep school. I Hear this stuff everyday. Check a normal HS kids Facebook. Probably littered with this kind of stuff.

I'm not a big fan of him making an antisemitic statement on a social media outlet either...
