why has Ray decommitting become a done deal? general pessimism, or reasons?

Nothing is a done deal. EA lists his commitment as soft. He stated that he has recently received an offer from Indiana which has made him think about looking around. He has also stated that if Lousiville or Kentucky were to offer he would strongly consider them.

The biggest concern is that if a program like Indiana offering is making him reconsider, there has to be something brewing.

Upgrades to Alumni stadium are needed to attract more fans and recruits. Gladchuk wanted to close in the upper deck after seeing the big improvement in the game day atmosphere from closing in the lower deck. The stadium was sold out on a season ticket basis by giving 1 free garage parking pass for every 4 season tickets purchased. It worked, DBS and crazy parking prices and tailgating rules fucked everything up.

The bull shit we keep hearing about not having the money to build an indoor building is coming from Leahy only. We can over 35 million per year in all forms of football revenue including fundraising. It's time for Leahy to do what every other P5 school is doing and reinvest that money into new facilities. Standford, Baylor and TCU are all prime examples for Leahy to follow.

eaglekeeper posting this shit in the recruiting w3ird0z thread is why he isn't running away in his asshat head-to-head. if he posted it in non-w3ird0z threads that more people actually read... he'd be up there with roonie, teddy and hansen

Is Eaglekeeper making a stealth attempt to win AssHat of the year?

I am very suspicious

Better go put in some extra reps on the Pitt pre game thread just in case.

[hawaiirob]

Wonder if the championship game next Monday serves a similar purpose as the NCAA F4 in hoops, with coaches gathering and behind the scenes deals being made. If Daz goes (watch his buddy Urban), wonder if he sneaks in some recruiting in TX or God-forbid Cali?

Can someone explain how losing a chance at one of the best DT prospects out there would help with Ray? Crawford I get... but that is assuming we were back-burnering him. I'm thinking that if he wanted in, he would have done it by now.

sirius is just on top of his posting game right now.

Troy Williams, #1 DT QB in the country a bit ago is transferring from Washington.

Assuming there's nothing weird about this situation, BC should reach out

[BCEagle14]

Besides trying to stop any of the current commits from decommitting, who is the staff still targeting for this year's class?

I think Aaron Crawford is the main target at this point.

I am hearing that at this point he is sticking with BC. Louisville was sniffing around but he still wants to go to BC. I am sure that can change overnight as we have seen with these kids.

247 shows him visiting Jan 16th. Hopefully that solidifies things. At this point, for me, he's a guy like Landry last year, not buying anything untill he's on campus. With coaching turnover and other classes needing to fill spots, as well as being at one of the most visible football high schools in the country, he will continue to be recruited. If Indiana made him think twice, any school with the slightest amount of national recognition that comes in late is a threat.

BC is the cheapest outfit in the ACC. SA has made it clear to Leahy that an indoor building and major upgrades to the stadium are needed to stay competitive. The cost estimate for the indoor field is 40 million and SA received a commitment that it will be built. Stadium upgrades are being discussed, but they have not come up with a final plan. Gladchuk had all of this scheduled to be built back in the 90's when the cost would have been significantly less. Leahy opposed the facilities calling athletics a distraction to the mission of BC.

RECRUITS WANT THE BEST. Stanford just got a 4 star WR. They don't need to fill their stadium to get recruiting dividends.

The Stanford 4-star receiver picked Stanford IRREGARDLESS of their facilities. They could be holding practices in the O.co parking lot and this could would've picked Stanford. And good for him... he'll be your boss one day.

The rest of the post is not worthy of comment... especially the fiction about Gladchuck and Leahy having any sort of working relationship in the 5-seconds between Leahy's arrival and the gambling scandal.

BC is ridiculously cheap and I think cowardly at times when interacting with the politicians.

Otherwise the rest of EagleKeeper's agenda is absurd. They need to build a practice facility.

[TobaccoRoadEagle]

question - do the recruits expect the corners to be filled in on the indoor practice facility?

Where are you pulling this $40mm dollar number from. That is not even remotely close to the ther facilities that have been recently built. VT spent $25. Wake spent 21 and Syracuse spent 13 (or both are budgeting that amount).

fill in the corners. for some reason eaglekeeper believes that recruits desire more empty seats formed in a perfect bowl as opposed to 4 distinct sections of empty seats. he stinks and should be super voted into the next asshat round
