Or hire their trainer that works too.

It's too bad Randy Moss didn't end up at Notre Dame, read an article about how he was pretty much on his way before his off field issues.

WOW. Did not know that either....shit!

 

[poewelch84]

I knew he was interested and Holtz tried like hell to get him in but after his off field stuff the powers that be said not a chance.

I'm not sure where Purguy get's his intel but he's usually right, minus McKenzie and Yeargin in this cycle.

"he wants to pick ND" . That's more than intel you'd have to be in his head .lol. I'm here in so cal and if he would have said that to someone it would be news. I know Latua is a friend of his and wants him to go there and according to many his parents are ok with him going anywhere he likes so if he did want to pick ND there's nothing stopping him. I think he will go to USC but since he's been on campus many times , had official visits and in home visits and hasn't pulled the trigger theres always a chance he can pick another school.

Like I said I'm not sure where he get's it but purguy is usually right, I would say considering he hasn't committed to USC like you said maybe that is the reason he hasn't picked the school he rooted for his whole life. Most people believed Te'o was heading to USC, I would say he made the right choice. Hopefully Smith shows up in Navy Blue with a gold tie when he announces.

Or it could be that for a while now he's set up his announcement on signing day on espnu and doesn't want to announce till then. Se will find out soon.
My predictions for certain players
Juju- USC
Quick-OU
Mama- Utah
Adoree- Florida (I have a feeling he doesnt pick SC because he likes the Florida track squad)

I fixed it for you, also Adoree isn't from Southern Cal so he doesn't have strong ties to the area.

I don't know how old he was when he got here but he's played his whole high school career here was a big reggie Bush fan and was a freshman on the team with Marquis Lee at Serra. Can you beleive all the talent coming from that school in the past five years. Woods, George Farmer, Marquise Lee, current SC commit J. Greene. If there's a school to have a pipline to thats a good one.

 

[poewelch84]

I don't know when he moved either but people have been saying his lack of ties to the area hasn't given the Southern Cal schools an advantage.

 

[purguy12]

"He wants to pick ND". I know he's considering ND but where do read that he wants to pick ND?

He mention that he wants to pick ND because of what a degree would mean but his heart is with USC.

 

[purguy12]

Like I said its 50/50 right now. I hope he pulls a Te'o.

 

[purguy12]

Some Update News: Alexander is between ND and Stanford.

 

[purguy12]

Matt Elam picked Kentucky. No surprise there.

 

[purguy12]

Coaches have plans to call JuJu and Quick on Sunday or MOnday to get one last shot in. Lets hope its enough for ND. These would be big pick ups. Come on Irish

 

[socaljim242]

He mention that he wants to pick ND because of what a degree would mean but his heart is with USC.

I'v read plenty of him liking NOtre Dame and valuing the degree , liking the coaches and saying it would help him in the future. But nothing that's says he wants to pick Notre dame. He's just saying what he likes about ND. Any time I've read "he wants to pick ND" it's coming from a NOtre Dame fan or site,.

 

[purguy12]

He has mention it multiple times that he wants to pick ND because of the Degree he would get.

He is torn between ND and USC.

We will find out soon.

lol. If he would have mentioned that or said that how ever you want to put it. It woulod have been quoted some where by someone especially in this 247 , rivals, scout age of recruiting . Especially coming for a top player. Yet I googled
JuJu Smith " I want to pick Notre Dame"
https://www.google.com/#q=juju+smith+%22+I+want+to+pick+Notre+dame%22

and Juju Smith wants to pick Notre dame
http://www.sportshoopla.com/forums/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=4467566

and not one article or site saying that other than some Notre Dame fans on boards like this one saying "I think he wants to pick Notre Dame"
Not saying he wont pick ND in the end no one knows . but come on how does a player say I want to pick a school and then not end up there? How is he received at the other school if he goes to the other? . You know the one he said he didn't want to pick?

 

[whywork2]

I'd be quite certain he probably said something like that about both schools since he's narrowed it down to two schools. I think we're parsing words. We'll find out Wednesday.
