No offense guys, but I'm psyched Floyd is headed to ND!
But no, it's not a diss to you guys. It's because I know Floyd will be criminally misused and ND's coaching staff is so brutal, they won't know what to do with him. At Ohio State, this kid would have been nasty. At ND, he'll probably be mediocre, though that's not his fault.

Cretin-Derham Hall star wide receiver Michael Floyd said he didn't go to Notre Dame over the weekend intending to give a verbal commitment. But after spending two days around the team, Floyd made that decision Sunday afternoon.
"I just got that feeling that Notre Dame was the place I wanted to be," Floyd said. He said he planned on contacting other schools recruiting him, including the Gophers, to let them know his decision.
"This is it," he said. "I'm not going to take any more visits."

You swallow. 
I hope he does well, but as someone else mentioned, you can never know what a kid is going to decide until after the decision is made, and even then, it's not set in stone (re: Carufel).
Gawd, will he be bored December through August.  |

Nope - and even though BN$ is open for all to see during October I feel it would be wrong to post a suggestion gleaned from their $ board --
Though I guess you could say I've told you where to look, even if I haven't turned over the rock to show you what is underneath.
Damn - I hate being cryptic.

Yes, as usual you have people claiming that we cooled on him and that our WR class was "full" and that he cooled on us after we had a recent commit and he feared he wouldn't play. I'm sure playing time comes into the equation, but it just seems like here was a guy who always had ND in his head, and we just couldn't overcome that. Hence we never even got a visit. Oh well. We got our share of good ones and then some. Shame to miss on Mike, but we'll just have to eek out our livin' as best we can

Is it just me, or does committing without taking all of your visits seem very premature?
I mean I know one of the first trips could seem like it was the perfect place for you, but there's no way you can make a fair comparison without giving all of them a shot.
Doesn't make sense to me.

matcar - cooler heads based on a full squad would be the usual suspects.
This is something less usual. But you would have to put 2 and 2 together from 2 different strains.

Aren't these visits free? Come on kids, mooch off the NCAA while you can!
Unless you're going to an SEC school, at which time grades, cars, cash, don't worry, it's all yours.  | |
