I was following and contributing to a blog that focused on verbal commit Omar Hunter and a purported upcoming visit to Florida. Then it just disappeared, and I have not been able to find an explanation.

What gives?

Β 

It disappeared because there wasn't a shred of truth to it.

They removed it because there was no truth to it. Omar came out and said that he's 100 percent ND last night.

Hopefully someday we'll get to watch Hunter eat up the Gator line.

That's fine. Post that as a reply. But don't remove the other message. I think it sends the wrong signal to those who think they can unsettle us by starting those kinds of rumors. I think the best response is to refute them with facts and logic. What is not OK is when we hear news like this and then respond by saying "good ridance." That kind of overreaction reminds me of the hearbroken woman who, when asked why she divorced her husband, responded, "I was afraid he was about to divorce me."

Β 

Getting back to the issue: did Hunter deny that he is visiting Florida? Is he going? If so, will he be meeting with Meyer? And would that be considered breaking his agreement with Coach Weis?

Β 

We haven't really seen anyone test the Coach's new policy yet. I imagine soon enough we will, and I wonder how we will respond.

I agree. Hey mods, why was the thread removed?

Usually the mods do a really good job of letting things play themselves out, unless they get really personal and ugly. I thought maybe that had happened on the Hunter thread, but then usually just the offending replies would be deleted, not the entire thread.

Rivals database now has Omar Hunter visiting UF on 1/11/2008. Is he going on a visit now?

Well, before the other thread was deleted, I believe it said that one of Omar's teammates is visiting UF and Omar was going with him. Kind of smells a little Trattou-ish if you ask me.

I googled Omar Hunter Notre Dame Florida and then accessed a link to a September 26th Atlanta Journal-Constitution article by Jeff Hood:

Β 

Notre Dame-bound Hunter offered by the USC Trojans

When Pete Carroll talks, recruits listen. Even ones already committed to Notre Dame.

Buford’s Omar Hunter visited with Carroll over the phone Tuesday and received an offer from the coach of top-ranked Southern Cal.

β€œIt was pretty exciting. Southern Cal, that’s pretty big,” said Hunter, who verbally committed to Notre Dame in June.

That doesn’t mean the blue-chip defensive tackle has changed his mind about heading to South Bend.

β€œI’m sticking with Notre Dame for right now,” Hunter said.

Buford coach Jess Simpson said several schools, including Florida, Tennessee and Auburn, still contact Hunter, who is ranked as the sixth best defensive tackle in the nation by Rivals.com and the No. 78 prospect overall.

I know the article is old news, but it's also relevant right now. Check out Hunter's response. His first sentence makes him sound starstruck. The next quote: the first five words are great. Then the last three, and he ends up in my "soft verbal" category. Where there's smoke, there might be something bad cooking.

The "for now" was explained later as as long as there are no major coaching changes. there haven't been, Omar, as recently as yesterday said he is 100 % ND, he not going anywhere.

I don't doubt Hunter said it, but the explanation smells like damage control to me.

Β 

Either way, I digressed, but the questions still remain. Is he going for a visit and, if so, will he be meeting with any of the coaching staff? Or is he just going to hang out in the car while his buddy gets romanced?

Hopefully his buddy puts a sock on the door, and Hunter knows to stay out.

sock?? that's different. i used to use her underwear.........

He told Mike Frank he wasn't visiting Florida in January, or ever.

Β 

Anyone who keeps this going is directly questioning Hunter's word. Believe it or not, recruits and their friends and family DO read these boards. It's a bad idea to keep fretting over this rumor, which has already been debunked.

sock?? that's different. i used to use her underwear.........

Β 

I suppose that works too, I think you'd just grab whatever you can. Then again, by the time the underwear was available ...

Β 

Well, this is going way farther than I wanted it to
