Jordan Payton apparently very impressed w ND

Submitted by 7NK7 on

According to TVH and tweets and retweets of Payton, he is loving Notre Dame. Commitment watch may be put to a halt. 

Lets just hope he is saying he likes it bc he is there and not bc he actually really likes it!! I think its safe to say that many people have been anticipating Payton to commit to M this week. if we lose out on him, our WR targets suddenly get a little more concerning as i think he was the best of the bunch. 

Anyone know when Madaris or Darboh are thinking of announcing?

Haven't heard anybody talk about Urban Dictionary in years but I'll bring it back for this opportune moment.

The only one I can think of was William Mahone's visit to Penn State. " Mahone’s trip to State College last weekend to watch the Nittany Lions play Alabama did not go well. He apparently arrived late to the game, as planned, but told Scout.com that he did not talk to any Penn State coaches and was pretty much ignored. "

Door 1: "You're assuming he won't be in prison at that point"

Door 1.2: a joke stemming off that about how he will just be leaving prison Friday evening and therefore back on the field come Saturday.

Door 2: the high road, something about entering the draft?

Door 3: something extremely low road about attempting to injure him as a mob, then immediate guilt because we're hopefully on a higher level than that

Addendum: I really wish we could get Yost-like crowd participation/synchronization in the Big House. That would be awesome. It would make us even more fearful, methinks. There are glimpses of it, like during the wave (when people aren't f'ing it up like earlier this year).

Second addendum with caveats: Yost has been disappointing this year compared to previous, but it hasn't been conference play yet. Here's hoping it improves.

i'll be completely shocked if anybody who wasn't already planning to commit to nd, commits after watching nd's craptastic performance in that completely pulseless stadium.

nd's gameday experience has gotten consistently worse over the last 20 years, and its pretty much awful at this point. the stadium is a morgue.

i guess, the issue isn't that nd lost per se, its that they looked like a very mediocre football team that is going to be mediocre for a long time. i can't imagine that recruits watched that game, and thought that looks like a team that's just a year or two away from a national title.

i also can't imagine that anybody went to that game and was impressed by the intensity of the gameday experience. if they've been to happy valley, madison, columbus or just about anywhere in the sec, they've seen much more impressive crowds.

I think watching Rees and Crist (I know Crist is leaving) DERP around for 4 quarters doesn't engender much faith in Payton about the future of ND football.  My guess is that he was impressed because, yes, it is a pretty campus with a nice atmosphere and the ND name still has some cache.  But when you look at UM compared to ND, I can't imagine there is much competition.

I'm surprised any parent wants their child to commit to ND, so Kelly can berate them on national television.  Also surprised that NBC is allowed to have the camera on Kelly after a bad play by ND.  You'd think they would tell the camera crew to not show Kelly when he's in beet red mode.

Payton just wants to heighten the suspense for Tues.  When the glow of this visit wears off (hopefully soon), he'll realize that Michigan is the place to be.

aren't even sure he'll make it off campus without committing.  I hope things flip back but it's not looking fantastic at the moment.

Remember when everyone freaked out that Dee Hart said his visit to Auburn was a 9 out of 10, and then committed to UM like two weeks later? Hate to bring up bad memories, but being impressed does not always mean a commitment.

I don't begrudge Dee Hart one bit for looking elsewhere as we were in turmoil and he couldn't wait for us to figure it out since he was enrolling early but it's quite annoying when people always say he wasn't a good fit here anymore because of an offensive system change.

The kid ended up going to Alabama, not Oregon. Not exactly a "spread or die" recruit.

When Jordan (assuming a RS.. considering we return Stonum Gallon Roundtree and Jackson next year) is a r-Fr he will be one of basically 3 WR on the roster. Throwing him the ball will be either..

Devin Gardner -  rs Jr with 2 years of experience 

                                6'4 with laser rocket arm and Vince Young legs and Brett Favre improvisation 

Shane Morris -  Fr 5 star uber recruit who basically throws Chuck Norris footballs. 

 

And all this assumes that Gunner Kiel doesnt decide that UM >>>>>>>  everyone elswe

some good insight here on everyone's part.  We'll just have to wait until Tuesday to find out the news.  it's not the end of the world if he doesn't Go Blue!  Plus, signing day is still 3+ months away.  A lot can happen between now and then.
