Darrin Walls

[Champion10]

Apparently he is set to announce his decision on Oct 3rd, this is interesting because he has an Irish visit for the USC game. I guess will se where this goes. For those of you with Rivals subscribtion you can read the article.

[ND2k9]

actually, i think this is good news for us. remember, he attended ND's first two games and michigan is looking poor

[Champion10]

:D Thank you for reminding me ND2k9 I forgot he visited those 2 games.

[SirJohn]

This isn't my area. But just got a peep that if Walls comes in he can go to ND early cause he is done almost with HS. Means like Aldredge he would NOT count as 2005 but be 2004 recruit so we pick up another slot to offer :D Can't say this is 100%

Grades are super tho.

[WeisGuy05]

I am only worried about the Gators at this point with Walls. He did go to the Florida and Tennessee game according to Mike from rivals last week on the Coaches Spotlight. However, the week before Mike ran a segment entitled "Weis Woeing Walls." October 3rd is going to be a big day...hopefully for us.

[Snatchy_McPants]

Another positive sign I pulled from this announcement..........ND is gathering commits, QUICKLY. This is especially true for DB's. One could then assume that Mr. Walls might be announcing earlier than planned in order to avoid missing the bus. Honestly, how could he NOT like what he sees in ND? This is an aggressive, rapidly improving team that will need gamebreakers to start in the secondary immediately. Who else can give him what we can?

[SirJohn]

Your on the ball Snatchy the door for guys into Notre dame is closing. If they don't get on now go to... Pooh Bear U.

I do not follow recruiting but do know some prima donnas hold out and hold out. (It is to their good) However I do know as season goes on any injury.. IN GENERAL a school will honor a verb.... But these un verbed kids one injury they are NOT gonigng to be sought anymore.. so do need to start verbing

[ND2k9]

ok, if we beat purdue or put up a fight against them this weekend (which we will) i can say he's ours. KNOCK KNOCK

[SirJohn]

ND2k Still we need some linemen I think someone like kates to SMASH MOUTH to spring people on eityher side of the line. I am all for any speeders you guys want and the hands..but trench wise we need some people BAD.

It's a thin crop 2005..we need some. I don't mind those 1 2 star guys. I figure our coaches and Mendoza will star them up. It's just I see all are chasing these hot shots and forgetting those 'unskilled positions' that we do need.

[Rockne3d]

I really think that Walls will be ND. Some of the Florida sites are conceding him to ND.

[SirJohn]

What broker? Really? :D

[Rockne3d]

What broker? Really? :D

Hey John, not sure what you are saying?

[Champion10]

What broker? Really? :D

Hey John, not sure what you are saying?

:lol:

[SirJohn]

Oh Sorry broker did not see your post till now. I admit i slopped my comment.
:oops:
It is about are Florida "Get this folks" FLORIDA sites conceding a guy to South Bend Notre Dame? (Gray and Cold?) :lol: :lol: I'd love to see those. :D

[Champion10]

Here ya go from a Florida site :)

[SirJohn]

:D The overall tone of Florida fans seems a bickering and negativism.

That is the most ND I have seen this recruit mentioned

[SirJohn]

I patrolled all ND boards and some listed under Walls bio choices. I think you guys here at DD are right. ND boards feel he is solid to commit 3rd the others concede him all the way to ND. While all is heresay I don't believe it's wishful thinking cuase mention of some of his HS coaches urging him and I suppose ray Herring playing early.

Not really following it like you guys I do see we invaded places we never touched. Oklahoma, Arkansas, Nevada, Kentucky and now a Florida kid you think would have stayed in state.

I think it's premier school on the rise, early playing time, no single team stars, Outstanding staff that has NFL contacts, sure future National Champions, Coast to coast TV exposure (And even a regional ABC broadcast last week went to 39 of the 50 states) great degree and education. a guy called Mendoza that can farter develop your body, Family atmosphere and solid contacts in the furture business world. (Want me to go on? :D ) Match that Michigan State :D

:D Plus he will enroll early so really won't count as a 2005 offer. :D

[ND2k9]

walls is from PA :wink:

[SirJohn]

ND2k9 :oops: Your absolutely correct :) Thank you.

:lol: I said I sure ain't the expert in recruiting. Once they are in or about in that's when I start checking but i blew that. :roll:

[ND2k9]

how is it, sir john, that you have been a member of DD for ONE DAY LONGER than me, but have 717 more posts then me?

[SirJohn]

718 now? My neighborood bar has an internet connection. :lol:

[Snatchy_McPants]

You're not kidding 2k9, I used to have the most posts for quite awhile. Sir John has a lot to say! :lol:

[Rockne3d]

You're not kidding 2k9, I used to have the most posts for quite awhile. Sir John has a lot to say! :lol:

but he keeps getting on the recruiting board to say he doesn't know much about recruiting. Just Jokes Sir John. Always glad to see ya post. Keep it up.

[SirJohn]

:( I follow the lfree links the posters here provide and information gleaned, I am alerted to news by Pals from Fla to Chicago and get red flagged from 7 ND fan sites have two contacts on campus, read the Observer and Vermin.

I have NO other sport except ND Football. I do not even follow ND Basketball etc. Hope we win but those sports bore me.

I mean inregarding recruiting those paid sites like Rivals etc whis is unaffordable anyway. I feel they tend to pump air into the tires of certain kids, ignore GPA quite a bit, give wrong often conflicting heights, weights and time. All of which I have posted is a problem in guaging a kids future sucess in college ball previously here.

There are those who specialize in following recruits or have a knack for statistics.

Once confirmed and in at ND then the bio printed with stats it's open house. :) Things I found about the recruits have been printed openly at various other sites and I simply pass them on as open information if a reader has not yet stumbled upon it. I didn't and don't consider my mentioning all other ND sites seem to consider Walls a ND lock as real news. I posted 'heresay' certainly not paid "insider information."

I will simply stay off posting on this recruiting board.
:(
I did make an error or so and did an :oops:

So :oops: Guys.

[Rockne3d]

whatcha all sorry about?

[domehead]

SIr, you keep postin' what you post...you have an obvious heated passion for the IRISH ...as do we all...you post because you know or you want to know..that is crucial. I read every post you write because of the same reasons..you my friend are a very big part of this site. I would like to do you a favor...hold on....Twaaaaaaang...(oh sorry snatchy) ....heh heh heh I didnt see you sitting there...GO IRISH

[Snatchy_McPants]

Yeah, no kidding Domehead. Sir John, I don't think anyone was being serious, they were just bustin' your chops a bit. I find your posts to be very entertaining, and full of enthusiasm. :D

[SirJohn]

Promised not to post but couldn't pass this up even taking a shot at myself

Entertaining? The last time I was called entertaining was my Honeymoon.

But unfortunately I quickly ran out of Imitations of stars, jokes sang bad, couldn't tune my guitar, and unbroken things to juggle."

[Rockne3d]

Sir, just so you know, you are not allowed to leave this site.

Keep up the posting. We were just havin' a little fun with ya. It's Friiiiiiiidaaaaaaayyyy!!!

[SirJohn]

:D

[domehead]

Ok sir...I must draw the line with singing and bad jokes...remember who I work with every stinkin' day...which I might add that I picked the wrong day to stop sniffin' glue...

[Snatchy_McPants]

Sniff, sniff, Domehead. It makes you vulnerable, slow reaction times. :twisted:

[ND2k9]

in one day we might have the top cornerback in the nation. im excited. know on wood

[domehead]

[Champion10]

[domehead]

Hell yeah...welcome to the family Mr. Walls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111

[Irish4life]

[chirodomer]

YES! We got Darrin Walls! Congratulations on 733 posts Sir John!!!!!

I had to bring this one up. Just so the new guys could see how few people were posting back in the stone age when Old Bear was still a cub! :)

Also, this icon wasn't available then either! :llama:

[chirodomer]

BTW Sir John took Broker/Rockne at face value when he said that SJ could never leave! :)

[NDsection23]

They were definitely some classics. As soon as I saw this thread, I know chiro had to be at it again, pulling threads from the bowels of the DD database. Nice.

Wow....that's a blast from the past. Vagas was a character, probably still lurking.

[Island Domer]

Good stuff Chiro! Thanks for the laugh...stuff like that sometimes puts recruiting in perspective.
