Posted July 30, 200618 yr Miami, USC and Notre Dame are the three schools he's most interested in. With Benn back in the mix, I hope we can gain some ground with Deonte Thompson, but if we lost Benn, I would be crushed.
July 30, 200618 yr Is that based on the Rivals update? If so it says that he likes a whole bunch of teams but those three stood out a bit. He said they weren't his top 3 or anything.
July 31, 200618 yr With Benn back in the mix, I hope we can gain some ground with Deonte Thompson, but if we lost Benn, I would be crushed. Don't understand your Benn "back in the mix" comment. Benn has NEVER been out of the mix, and his story has never changed.
July 31, 200618 yr benn is irish, we have been saying it for months now please everyone listen, stop worrying about benn!
July 31, 200618 yr Author Well I basically was saying Benn now has no favorite, he lists all 4 schools as equal. But TD if you say we have nothing to worry about we shouldn't. And sunshine, he said that those were the 3 schools he was most interested in.
July 31, 200618 yr Thompson obviously has talent but of all the WRs offered he stikes me as the least likely to end up at ND.
July 31, 200618 yr When did Benn say all three schools are equal... Everything I have read said ND was the leader by a margin. BTW I think he will commit formally just after or just before the Michigan game.
July 31, 200618 yr One of the Miami posters on rivals.com message board said that if Deonte leaves the state of Florida, it will be for ND. As of right now, I think he's gonna be a 'Cane.
August 1, 200618 yr I've been hearing that Polian is on DT like ice on cream! Remember, DT is from Belle Glade just like a top ex-miami back, who was drafted into the NFL by Bill POlian, Edgerrin James. Connection is in our favor at the moment. I agree it comes down to the convicts vs. catholics. Start praying people.
August 1, 200618 yr You all know how I feel about my boy Deonte (gold teeth and all). But, I wish this kid would just commit to Miami already. There is no way he ends up at ND. I'm so convinced, I've stopped talking about him. Not worth it.
August 1, 200618 yr Edge was not from Belle Glade, he was from Immokalee. Immokalee is Southwest of Glades. If anyone has been to Belle Glade you would know why most think he will stay in Florida. Belle Glade is almost like a country to itself. It is an interesting place with plenty of sugar cane and stuff like that. Many Haitians live around there. Those mothers are some crazy drivers as well. Glades is a very interesting place. You almost feel as if you left America.
August 1, 200618 yr 220-221 whatever it takes. You're right BG is like little haiti. I worked down in S. Florida for a while and quite a few Haitian mothers want their boys going to good schools. I don't know if he is creole or not but the guy can play ball. We need a BALLER at Notre U!
August 1, 200618 yr i would love it if ND landed DT but trying to pull players out of belle glade is something that ND has never done before.
August 2, 200618 yr I talked to my neighbor, who is friends with some of the staff at the U, and he said he had heard that DT was down to 2. U and ND. He is calling his boy tomorrow to see what he knows. BTW BENN is IRISH. The new HS recruitng magazine said that Benn was all but Irish. We've been saying it since March 2006 but no one wants to listen. Side note. The magazine said the Sukay was still undetermined and this had all of the guys committed that have. Time to bring back the Sukay thread?
August 2, 200618 yr yeah benn is irish, thats a done deal. pulling DT away from miami would be the jackpot after landing JC. i've read articles where DT said that CW was telling him how explosive he would be in his offense and obviously he's thinking hard about it.
August 2, 200618 yr yea suprisingly this really has seem to come down to miami and ND, i would have thought florida would have made a better push
August 2, 200618 yr yea suprisingly this really has seem to come down to miami and ND, i would have thought florida would have made a better push well UF signed i think six WRs in last years class, so that may have something to do with it.
Miami, USC and Notre Dame are the three schools he's most interested in. With Benn back in the mix, I hope we can gain some ground with Deonte Thompson, but if we lost Benn, I would be crushed.
