I may hate blOwU fans but I will admit that they are the best farkers.

Tebow DIDN'T say that. That's the point. Your sorry ass cannot come correct about your player without including UF/Tebow/Meyer comment.

It's fucking old.....no one from UF said a thing.

Sorry, but try to actually defend/comment/post without being such a bitch.

You think you can do that big boy?

I try to post to the level of the person I'm debating. My bad. And in my first response to your idiotic fucking post, nary a word was said about UF.

I have absolutely zero issue with him saying that. The kid wants to come in and not lose a single game in his career. Should he have said it in that setting? That's a completely different debate. Is he cocky? Sure. Is he a little full of himself? Probably. But after 8 years of apathy, having a coach like Weis and recruits like Clausen who actually verbalize that their goals are to win multiple championships is a nice change.

Now, back to my question, do you have any original thought to add to the discussion, or are you just going to let others do all the thinking for you?

F-off.......

Don't bother responding to me or my posts. You really are a drain. It's too bad. You are unable to communicate w/o bringing UF/Meyer in on every shot. Don't say you don't because you do it pretty much at every chance. It's old beyond belief. It's almost unbearable to post.....I think to myself....I wonder how he'll include a Meyer joke. And, on queue.....you don't disappoint.

Trixie,

Actually, Killian never mentioned Meyer. The only one who did was Legacy 5.5. But it seems that his mere mention makes you a bit touchy.

Personally, I don't mention Meyer anymore, that's in the past, and I prefer to look ahead. Seems to me that Killian was making the comment about you, moreso than about Florida or Meyer. And, given that the next positive thing you post about ND on this board will be the first positive thing you post about ND on this board (although admittedly, you're not alone in that regard), it was a valid comment.

Yeah right....a spade's a spade.....

Honestly, out of all the douche bags I've ever seen on these message boards, you take the cake. In my mind, you're worse than Babs.

Take a clue from Terry dipshit, the only reason I even mention Opie or UF is because every time you post, you take a swipe at ND. So I call you on it, every time.

You call me out by saying that all I do is talk about Opie? Check back on our posts and see who calls out the other team more. Yet even when I respond and I pose questions to you, you never, ever try to answer them. Probably because ESPN or the guys at SwampGas haven't posted anything yet that you can use in your defense.

So go have your circle jerk to Opie and how he's going to dominate recruiting by bringing in all the 5 star studs.

You're a sad, ignorant person.

Switch UF/Meyer with ND/Weis and ditto

Terry in Crapchester · Tue May 02, 2006 5:58 pm

According to ND Nation, ND got a commitment today from Michael Ragone, a TE from Cherry Hill, NJ. Hopefully, this is a sign that the recruiting dominoes are starting to fall our way.

Killian · Post by **Killian** » Tue May 02, 2006 6:17 pm

I would expect two more kids from NJ, very soon. Add to that Arreleous Benn and some offensive lineman.

ND is in very, very good shape this year.

TheChief · Post by **TheChief** » Tue May 02, 2006 7:45 pm

Killian,

Is Benn a ND lock? I know we are recruiting him, but given our recent offensive masterminded air/ground attack, I figure we don't have much of a chance.

Killian · Post by **Killian** » Tue May 02, 2006 7:51 pm

He's as much of a lock as Clausen was.

I'm about 99.99% sure that Benn will commit to ND.

My guess is the offensive class will shake out like this:

QB - Clausen
RB - Tyler
TE - Ragone
WR - Benn and Duval Kamara
OL - Ryan Miller, Matt Romine, and Lee Ziemba

There are some other playes that could possibly commit (Greg Little or one or 2 other offensive lineman), but I think ND is in very strong shape with those above.

As for defense, it's anyone's guess. ND is going to have a great DE class (already have Kerry Neal, will likely get Justin Trattou and Martez Wilson, and possibly get Ben Martin) but they need DT's and LB's.

TheChief · Post by **TheChief** » Tue May 02, 2006 7:51 pm

Also, what's the scoop in ND nation about Marvin Austin? I know that Odell has a great relationship with him so far...and we have put DT's into the first/second round three years in a row...so that has to weigh in his decision...or so one would think.

Killian · Post by **Killian** » Tue May 02, 2006 8:20 pm

Austin is good friends with Benn, so that will help. He was at the ND spring game, wearing "The Shirt" (ND fans will know what I mean, long story) and was on sports center briefly with Clausen and Benn, laughing and having a good time. He fell asleep at the game because he had been to a couple of other schools that week and had gotten little sleep.

As of now, I don't know. I think ND has a great shot at him, but USC, PSU and others are going to be tough to beat. Haven't heard FSU mentiond too much with him. If they can get a couple of big name defensive players to fall their way, I think that will help out greatly with Austin. He is their #1 DT and he knows it. Weis cannot wiff again this year at DT.

TheChief · Post by **TheChief** » Tue May 02, 2006 8:28 pm

Yeah, if I was a betting man, I would say that he goes to ND, even though package deals seldom happen. I'm really hoping we can land him just to be selfish...John Brown and Marvin Austin to FSU would be pretty sweet.

Legacy5.5 · Post by **Legacy5.5** » Thu May 04, 2006 6:35 pm

lots of rumblings that Austin is favoring USC. For some reason I dont feel to strongly about him to the Irish. W/out Austin I dont really know who we are going to offer? Brent, Wade? any thoughts K?

Also Greg Little seems to be UNC bound (better than a rival). Kumara, Trattau, Benn, M. Wilson, and Tyler seem to be favoring ND. I hope we land Ben Martin out of Ohio, that guy is a beast.

Legacy5.5 · Post by **Legacy5.5** » Thu May 04, 2006 6:40 pm

By the way Chief, we need one of these when Notre Dame plays FSU this year in the Fiesta. We can drive it cross-country.

Awesome

Killian · Post by **Killian** » Thu May 04, 2006 7:03 pm

Little is looking less and less likely for ND. I'd love to get him because he could be an AA at a few different positions.

As for DT, right now it's Austin and Barksdale and that's it. Maybe some more offers after the May evaluation period.

TheChief · Post by **TheChief** » Fri May 05, 2006 1:53 am

Benn is good/great, but I think I would much rather have Greg Little...he is big and strong already at 17. At the Georgia NIKE camp he ran a 4.6 and Warchant reported that he has the frame of a Solja TE. That said, I'd still take him, Boldin had a big frame (not as tall) like that with less than outstanding speed and he turned out just fine.

I'd be shocked if he goes to UNC....wtf?

Legacy, nice avatar.....

Dude, I should be driving that EVERYWHERE I go.

Major schools: "Greg, come to State U and help win a NC and compete for a position."

UNC: "Greg, come here and be the man from day one. We have a top 5 QB and we're going to build our offense around you two."

Add to that he's from NC and that's why he's looking so hard at UNC. I agree, I want that kid right now. He already looks like T.O, but he would be an excellent SS or OLB.

The Cruzin Cooler is awesome. I'd like to see a big wheel model, foot-powered.

Who's the Top 5 QB at UNC? Paulus?

Terry in Crapchester · Fri May 05, 2006 4:09 pm

Yeah, saw that after I posted.

I predicted it would come down to Syracuse or North Carolina. But in the end, I thought he'd wind up at Syracuse, due to the fact that: (a) the lure of trying to turn around a program in his hometown would be too great to pass up; and (b) for all of Syracuse's problems, it would still appear that they have a better chance of winning a Big East championship in the next 5-6 years than North Carolina does of winning a ACC championship during that time.

Better move on to plan B. From what Austin stated in his AMP video, he doesn't care much for the country side and has a flare for the big city life.

Bodes well for Miami and USC...not so much for Tally and Bend.

Yeah, I heard that. The only thing I can pin my hopes on is that other city kids are deciding on ND because they feel it is the best place for them to develop and go on to the NFL. That's what Weis needs to sell. It worked for Lou, and it had better work for Weis. It's easy to get the offensive studs because of his reputation/resume. Now they need the defensive play makers.
