Recruiting Thread:

When I think of USC I think of Amanda Marcum and her Maxim cover.Other than that I don't think much about USC.

I'll be shocked if both pick ND. However, I like to be wrong....

 

[purguy12]

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.

He has mention that he loves both schools. He wants to pick ND because of the degree and he wants to pick USC because its his childhood dream school.

Pur....there is some new news on Garnett and his visit...you got anything? Just saw something on twitter, but am not a member to blue&gold...suppose to be something positive from what I am reading in the comment section..

Hopefully his commitment to Oklahoma is very short lived.

 

[purguy12]

Word is he committed to Oklahoma because he liked Oklahoma and didn't think he would get into ND. He took his visit to ND to talk to ND's academic advisors and to see if he has a chance to go to ND. The positive is that it seems like he would qualify to go to ND. He loved his visit.

ND coaches feel like they have flipped him and that the only thing holding him back was grades but now that he is ok in that department look for a switch.

Coaches have Garnett higher then Cage. Coaches didn't push for Cages commit because they wanted to wait for Garnett's visit. Looks like ND will land one of them.

Oklahoma recruiting analyst feels that he will end up at Oklahoma and 1 main reason is that his best friend J. paul is committed there. They grew up together and both said from the start that they really wanted to play together. If I was ND I would give an offer to his friend for the hell of it.

His visit will be done on Sunday. Look for more update on this.

We can't take both? Man, watch them not get either......

 

[purguy12]

Sooners staff feel 100% he is staying committed. Word is that if he did flip it would be a shock to Oklahoma nation. They also feel that this kid should of been graded at least a 4 star. They think he is a diamond in the rough.

Well yes they can take both because IM is out. They can take 4 between Alexander, Quick, JuJu, Garnett and Cage. Also their is a sleeper pick out there.

 

[poewelch84]

They're probably right about the 4 star rating, ESPN does have him as a 4 star.

Who is the sleeper? From that list or someone else....

 

[poewelch84]

Erik Brown?

They are suppose to have a back up plan if they didn't land Quick, or IM.

 

[poewelch84]

I'm hoping it's Erik Brown.

Update on Garnett: word is that he told the staff that its up to his parents. If his parents are ok with him going so far away he is all Irish.

C'mon.

 

[purguy12]

Looks like he is staying at Oklahoma.

 

[poewelch84]

I'm not sure they are going to get any more DT's in this class. It's time to take that surprise recruits commitment.

 

[poewelch84]

Also I'll feel like they will be lucky to end up with another commitment in this class, and I have serious doubts that they will end up with 85 scholarship athletes.

 

[Irish7478]

I'm ready to take the class as is, and save a scholly or two for next year.
