ND #1 Recruiting class

[GATORnGA31909]

how many do they lose after this Slaughterfest...got to be some ship jumpers ya think!!!

[wolfjs70]

Maybe Anzalone will decommit and flirt with UF again, before committing to Michigan.

[gator7_5]

This is the top of the mountain for ND. Seriously. This is as good as it's going to get. Which I'd like to point out, is still better than fsu and clemson.

[GATORAZ]

they will lose no one after this loss just like we lost no one after the loss to Chalie

[GATORnGA31909]

This loss is on a scale much greater than our loss...they got a lot of recruits based off their undefeated season, now they see its all a fraud, no way all of those stud athletes stick..willing to bet somebody decommits soon..just my opinion that is

Notre Dame is/was a fraud all year long, and 'bama proved it.

Someone (Washington) needs to tweet him (Anzalone) and get him back on board.

Are you sure? :wink:

He is a legacy.

[m35elder]

Doubt they lose many, but what's worse, having a recruit sign somewhere else or having players transferring once there already their? We seem to have a problem with the latter!

Most of our transfers are not going to start here anyway. ....makes room for new recruits too.

[mikehev]

I don't think they lose anyone. Anybody remember Nebraska 1995? It did not cost us recruits.

Notre Dame was overrated this year and fortunate to go 12-0, but the athletes they are bringing in with this recruiting class are far better than what they have now, especially in the secondary. I think they'll maintain their class and be a real threat in a few years.

[dadx4]

When they hired Kelly, I knew they were getting a good coach. I think they will do well but they need to start playing teams that don't stink and they definately don't need to join the ACC. They will just keep getting blown out in MNC games. They should have been 10-2 and never have been in the MNC in the first place. The refs handed them the Stanford and Pitt games.

[orangeblueorangeblue]

They might lose one, maybe two.

These single games tend to have very little impact. At this point the recruits have put in a lot of time thinking about this stuff, so suddenly losing (when you were the biggest underdog in recent history) is not going to change much.

[LimeyGator]

I'm not worried. Oklahoma, Michigan, USC, Stanford won't all lay eggs against ND again next year. Their time has been and gone and they blew it.

In fact, they blew reeeeeeal hard.

[eastowest]

Hate to start a new thread....
Anyone know what time Duke makes his pick[UF/f$u/ today?

Looks like it's at 1:30 according to Gatorsports.

[StrangeGator]

FWIW, Notre Dame's class is ranked anywhere between #1 and #4 across various "expert" sites. UF's class is comparable, if not better than Notre Dame's. Bama's class is better than both, though they already lost a lineman, possibly because of the dominant win.

[ofmgator]

Recruits only waver when they realize they are not the only guy signed at their position. Some guys don't like competition, some do...but most guys honor their comittment. Guys who transfer our see the handwriting on the wall or have problems fans are unware of. Transfers creat room on the roster...sad to see some leave but sobeit!

[BengermanV]

I think people overestimate the impact a loss has on a recruits opinion of a school. One bad loss should not even come close to swaying the opinion of a recruit, not one that I would want at least.

[wci347]

You will see a fallout in the 2014 class when they lose at 3 and perhaps 5 games in 2013 and the hype of their reemergence fades away.

[tommyuf21]

FSU is one every year and the pull in the recruits like crazy!

Poodles recruit like crazy and have two SEC titles since I was a junior in High School. I like to keep bring this up because I'm getting old in a hurry.

What did our old ball coach say about Poodle player development under Goof, Donnan and Richt (2001)?

[DeBigLeezard]

Could it be the over 7,000 female students next door???

[tommyuf21]

As for Anzalone, the fever pitch in this state for ND over the last month has been pretty strong.

They got kicked in the mouth last night, but after the Sandusky debacle and the Steelers and Eagles collapse, these people will cling to anything positive.

[Gatorrick22]

I now what you mean - yet the suck like crazy every year too.

Completely disagree!!!! No kid is going to switch from Notre Dame because of that game.

VERY few recruits make their decisions based on a single game and the one's who do are probably not guys a school really wants anyway!

Believe it or not, most of the commitments any school has now were earned before the season started. Kids may not have verbally committed yet, but most probably had a really good idea where they were going to commit. The recruits that are going to be swayed by this year's results is the class of 2014.

Both Notre Dame and UF are likely to see the results of the season have a very positive influence on kids in next year's class. Notre Dame and UF will not see any negative impact from the bowl losses but will both benefit significantly from having 12 and 11 win seasons.

[GATORnGA31909]

I guess we all can sit here and speculate...however only time will tell!!

[atlantagator86]

I guess we all can sit here and speculate...however only time will tell!!

In all my years of following recruiting, I don't think I can EVER remember seeing or hearing a recruit de-commit from a school because of a loss, especially from a team playing playing for the NC or in a BCS bowl. It might have happened somewhere at some time, but I don't remember it.

But I have seen un-committed recruits commit after a big win, but that's more of a tie breaker as opposed to something that changed a kid's mind. But even that's pretty rare.

[619_Gator]

Still cant believe D Walker decommitted last night right after Bama curb stomped ND. With the coach who flipped him in the locker room with Saban.

[Dreamliner]

Recall that some here were deathly afraid that our Sugar Bowl debacle was going to cost us Demarcus Robinson.

[GATORnGA31909]

maybe I was hoping a few of those recruits from the State of Florida would reconsider going to ND and maybe choose to stay close to home...hint hint..UF!!

[GatorBen]

ND has 4 commits from Florida, two of whom UF hasn't even offered. The other two are RB which we have done just fine on ourselves.

[Gatorrick22]

Notre Dame's Florida recruits


Greg Bryant RB, 5'11" , 197 Delray Beach, FL-American Heritage School

Michael Deeb LB, 6'2", 237 Plantation, FL-American Heritage

Tarean Folston RB, 5'10" ,195, 4.5 40yd Cocoa, FL

Mike Heuerman TE, 6'4", 220, 4.7, Naples, FL-Barron Collier

Saban got some of his own treatment.

And this my friend we both agree on!! :yes:

Bryant's a great player, but the other three weren't offfered by UF (from what I've heard).

[GATORAZ]

Bryant's a great player, but the other three weren't offfered by UF (from what I've heard).

Florida didn't want any of the 4 players. They didnt even want Bryant. Most schools in the south didn't want Bryant that is why he is going to ND.

[SydneySLee]

[GATORAZ]

Any idea why the staff didn't like Deeb? Kid can play.

He is 6 feet tall not very athletic and not good in pass coverage. CWM should be fired if we gave a scholarship to Deeb.

[GATORnGA31909]

what about the impact of the possibility of Coach Kelly leaving for the Eagles..since you guys are experts does that hurt this class at ND???

[gatordee]

I do not see them losing anyone. Nor do I see them going back to the NCCG any time soon.

[Gatorrick22]

what about the impact of the possibility of Coach Kelly leaving for the Eagles..since you guys are experts does that hurt this class at ND???

Notre Dame's coach Kelly? Or Oregon's coach Kelly?

[gatorbait96]

Notre Dame

[Juggernautz]

Oregon's coach is going nowhere!

[GATORnGA31909]

Sorry guys..I thought everyone watched ESPN all day lol..I was talking about ND Kelly

[Gatorrick22]

Sorry guys..I thought everyone watched ESPN all day lol..I was talking about ND Kelly

No worries. I saw that later in the night and couldn't believe that they actually talked to both of them.

[Tebowism0823]

If I was a ND recruit I'd be a little upset by this.

[Gatorrick22]

Especially the EE's.

[Bladerunner]

I was curious. Why would (a major head coach) leave the Country during the final month leading up to National Signing Day. Makes no sense, if he's staying at Notre Dame.

from ESPN.com
Kelly met with the Eagles on Tuesday, and there was mutual interest after the interview, according to league sources. Kelly left the country after meeting with the Eagles and could not be reached for comment.

What?

[corpgator]

Because he's a complete d-bag. He let a kid die during one of his practices, so it's obvious he doesn't get a rat's behind about anyone or anything but himself.

[Gatorrick22]

Anzalone.....come on down. :yes:

[co_gator89]

ESPN has Kelvin Taylor listed as a 5* now. Am I correct in thinking that's a change or did they have him there all along? Needless to say I think he'll be a 5* player for us.

[revthejedi]

Yeah, he was a 4* before.

[Jaxgatorz]

every Gator commit could show up to Alex's house tomorrow he would still go to ND

Glad u were wrong.:laugh:

[rpmGator]

Not only did Kelly do the Pro interview, he left on vacation when most coaches are recruiting like its the lifeblood of a program it is. I expect him to take the job after they comply with the Rooney Rule and interview Lovie Smith.

Could be wrong, but the results are happening already.

[gator1986]

Glad u were wrong.:laugh:

Lol

[GATORAZ]

Kelly's interview with the Eagles was a black swan event that neither AZ nor anyone else could foretell.

[LAGatorDoc]

This has been in the works for some time apparently with whispers from some insiders, but nobody really knew who the insiders were talking about. This was Rolin's surprise apparently

[LAGatorDoc]

Sorry for the overuse of the word apparently

[GATORnGA31909]

I guess my original question wasn't wrong was it..I'm not the expert as most of you guys are but I knew somebody would leave ND...and even better flips to us..told ya so!!

[GATORnGA31909]

who is leaving? :whoa:

Anzalone...Mr Sarcastic..always remain open minded, not everyone is gonna agree with you, no need to ridicule and always push your opinions onto people in that way..I usually respect your opinions and look forward to your insight, but remember your not always gonna be right! Go Gators!!

continue reading..I also said later in the thread with Kelly interviewing with the Eagles could impact the class...what is with you people? can there ever be discussion without the attitude..the animosity is never ending..like a big pissin contest..who's is bigger!!

I simply wanted constructive opinions on this ND class and the possibility of recruits leaving considering all the circumstances..no need to increase your post count with snide remarks

[GatorJeff]

Sounds like he left because Kelly is interviewing for NFL jobs...........not because the Irish were beaten in their bowl game.

[orangeblueorangeblue]

Yeah. I would say a single game won't impact many recruits, but potentially losing a head coach is a completely different story.

[rpmGator]

Let me help. Anytime any head coach moves teams before signing day, there is an equal and opposite reaction from recruits.

Some stay, some leave. You can write it down if you need too.
