January 3, 200718 yr does anyone think that martin will announce during the AA Bowl? ARTICLE-CLICK HERE A scout article says yes. At least that what a poster on II said. He was a Florida Poster too by the way, and they feel very confident.
January 3, 200718 yr What's interesting is that every team in the mix (Florida, Ohio St., Tennessee and ND) seems confident they are in good standing. For one reason or another the fans of Florida seemed convinced they'll get him, and Tennessee fans on VolNation have essentially backed off on Donald but think they are in great shape with Martin. And then the home team, OSU, isn't scared of losing him at all. I have no idea what's to read from all of this but I guess we'll find out in a few days.
January 4, 200718 yr I haven't read or seen anything about Martin that would lead me to believe we have much of a chance with him. What is sustaining our optimism with this kid?
January 4, 200718 yr Rumors are Florida, but I actually think Tennessee has a better shot than the Gators but that is just a random opinion. I still say Ohio State.
January 5, 200718 yr Ben, I have heard that alot of recruits view these sites with the intention of learning about the fan base. I assure you that we at Notre Dame will be behind Justin, Kerry and you all the way. Every time you stuff a run or sack the quarterback...you will feel each and everyone of us in your heart. Sure, we are momentarily looking more like a rebuilding team rather than a contender...but again with Kerry, Justin, Gary, Aaron, Harrison, Ian and possibly Donald, Lorenzo, Major, Will, Jason and Malcom joining you...we should be that much closer to erasing this enigma? Anyway Ben, just wanted you'd like to know...
January 5, 200718 yr I've read on about 3 different boards that there are RUMORS of him thinking OSU, Florida and Tennessee, but it looks like there aren't rumors of ND. It doesn't look good for us with Martin, but with Trattou and Neal both impressing I don't think this hurts too much. And the news on Donald is GREAT!!!
January 5, 200718 yr Things just get crazier and crazier. Here is a link that was posted over on IE on Ben Martin http://www.yappi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=134091
January 5, 200718 yr Things just get crazier and crazier. Here is a link that was posted over on IE on Ben Martin http://www.yappi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=134091 Yeah, I seen on B&G free board some poster with 1/2 a post said Ben just called his coaches at his HS to tell them he commited to UT. the poster claims to be from Cincy. Makes sense that he would call his HS coaches and tell them today and then some guy outta know where finds it out and posts it because his coaches would hurry up and tell people about it-HILARIOUS
January 5, 200718 yr Hopefully that is untrue, but if it is, I think that TN just got back at us. Oh wait, we're still up 3-1 For some reason I kept having this very vague feeling that the Vols had a chance in this one...a better one than anyone else thought, but nothing had really ever been said about them. This one threw everyone for a loop though...ND vs. tOSU...Florida silent...

Martin would and still could be a HUGE get for us. But I am feeling pretty good with both Justin and Kerry too. Another defensive tackle would sure be great though.
January 5, 200718 yr Martin would and still could be a HUGE get for us. But I am feeling pretty good with both Justin and Kerry too. Another defensive tackle would sure be great though. Good post dreamer. People are "sleeping" on Kerry Neal because he's from such a small town and not much is known about him. As for Trattou, he has also slipped the minds of a lot of people, due to his early commitment. IMO, Martin has never publicly stated a leader and his entire recruitment, he has played it close to his vest (no pun intended ). Everybody feels good about their chances with him. If he was looking for buildup to his announcement, than he surely accomplished that goal.
January 5, 200718 yr I think that Trattou has a very good shot of coming in and starting from game 1, but I think that Neal will mainly be used in passing situations until he can get his weight and strength up a bit. But both of those guys should be studs for us in the future.
January 5, 200718 yr Martin's parents are presumably in Cincy. But, I was under the impression that this is a dead period. Does this not prohibit contacts between coaches and parents? Anyways, there could be a flight to Cincy for any number of reasons.
January 5, 200718 yr I thought Martin was in Austin?He is. And it's a dead period anyway, I believe. That flight to Cincy has to be something else.
Who-dey, who-dey, who-dey think gonna sign Ben Martin? ND owns Cincy!
