LOL sorry, I only saw the part about his mom being a doctor. Cheers. Stanford CS is indeed pretty good

ESPN mentions Ifeadi in their piece on the changing nature of the recruiting game.

Uncommitted linebacker Ifeadi Odenigbo of Centerville, Ohio, found it bothersome when the coach at one school asked him about his visit to another.

The questions made him feel uncomfortable.

"They want to know how it went," Odenigbo said. "That's happened to me multiple times. I think they should just mind their own business. It's a business for us, too."

Odenigbo, in fact, changed his phone number this past fall to minimize the distractions. Before the switch, he said, he averaged a phone call every 45 minutes in the late afternoon, evening and night. Even late at night, he said, schools and media from the West Coast would call, failing to realize that while the clock read 8 p.m. out there, it was 11 at his home in the Eastern time zone. He just wanted to sleep.

Ifeadi found it bothersome when Brian K-, sorry "the coach at one school" kept asking him how his other visits went

Sounds like a great fit for Ifeadi. Good luck to the young man.

May he reak havoc on those blood-sucking scUMmers for the next 4 years in whatever the name of that division that is.

In the Recruiting Tidbits thread in the Rumor Mill, he was turned down by the Stanford admissions office which probably helped him make his decision. I don't know for a fact but I think Stanford was probably his first and it's a shame if that is true because he is a outstanding individual.

 

[jwinslow]

Outstanding. Great get, fit and it will be a treat to follow him on the BTN on and off the field.

Congratulations to the entire Odenigbo family.

Huge pickup for Northwestern. Somewhat glad he's in the conference, it'll be easier to see how he's doing in the B1G plus he's close to home.

 

[southcampus]

Really happy for this kid. It's nice to keep him in the B1G and it'll be fun seeing him on Saturday afternoons.

 

[RB07OSU]

Happy to see him wind up in the Big 10. Great choice Ifeadi, can't wait to see you tear it up on and off the field.

I'm a newbie moron. Where is the Rumor Mill?

Made an excellent choice. Pat Fitzgerald will groom him into a GREAT collegiate athlete.

A word of advice for a newbie; ask politely rather than insult respected posters

And you just made a great introduction for yourself to the site.

Do yourself a favor and search the term "McNeiled" or Trey McNeil.
