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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Saban got some of his own treatment.

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.

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.

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** · 01-09-2013, 08:58 PM

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