I've seen on a few other message boards that there is possibility of another announcement soon.
I am not sure who the individual would be.
Does anyone have any insight as to who it could be?
By the way, i am very excited about the commitment of Calabrese. This gives us a solid Mike linebacker who can intimidate. Hopefully one of 4 linebackers in this class. With the possible loss of Nagel we will need to bring depth to the middle of our linebacker core.

they seem to be hinting at dan fox....which would make some sense in that he seems to be a heavy nd lean yet i believe he is taking a trip to nd in june, which is probably when he would commit.
although i cant be sure if the source is just basing it off that info and does not have any inside knowledge.

You never really know. But alot of times it's people trying to make it look like they have some info. You get pretty reliable info here. And we do have a poster or two who usually are dead on. I'm sure folks will keep checkin and update if anything comes of this.

In the days before GH, I was a loyal uhnd poster. When "Big news is afoot" that is a pretty relaible source that has inside info about an upconing verbal. I have not gone over today to see what's up, just sayin' that when I saw the title of this thread, I knew exactly what it meant. Hopefully it's legit and of the 4 or 5 star variety.

Personally, I think Hammer is hilarious, and he knows his stuff. Many detest him for being a jackass often times. Pretty much every message board has run him out because he is too crude for some. That is why he started his own site. There are still many who enjoy him at uhnd so word will travel there quickly.

When he just says big news a foot and gives no info i think he is completely guessing and everyone will worship him if he is right. Its a pure guess on his part IMO
The Manorite
05-26-2008, 08:08 PM
Grandson, I respect your opinion, but this Hammer guy has, in the past, posted anti-semitic comments on UHND that I found to be highly offensive. In fact, I believe he was banned from that site at least once for that reason.
Second, I've seen him post the "big news is afoot" thing before, on more than one occasion, and nothing has come of it.
Just my 2 cents.

05-26-2008, 08:11 PM
A lot of people post big news being afoot on uhnd, and with most of them it's usually BS. I find when Irishhammer posts it, it almost always comes to fruition. I agree with those who believe he has inside info.
If it's true, I'm hoping for Lalota.

Knowing Hammer's style, the "big news" might not be recruiting related, but he's probably referring to something factual.

He could be saying something like Fox is going to commit when he visits. Which we all know is a possibility, but by him saying that now, he's trying to make himself look good. Stuff like that happens, or maybe he does know something, or maybe he's talking out of his ass.
Sit back and enjoy the ride.

I remember hearing that Fox was going to camp at ND in June to try and impress the coches and earn an offer. But once he received an offer he canceled his June camp plans.

He was going to try and earn an offer at the ND camp, this is true. At this time, I think he isn't sure if he is still coming to the camp or not. I don't believe he has made a decision yet.

This is why you take "info" like that with a grain of salt. If anything at all happens, he can say this is what he meant, when in fact he may have been talking out of his poop shoot.
Enjoy the rumors to an extent, let IUB and co. do their thing and enjoy the ride.
All that said, Alex will be coming up to ND, not 100% certain on who will be accompanying him on the trip.

01-27-2011, 10:26 AM
Sorry, I should have give more details about Cam, I was just too excited.
It sounds like the Cam wanted to play for a coach staff with a BCS NC win under its belt. SOooo the big move was to TRY to get Urban Meyer but that broke down somewhere, no one knows which side. BUT expect to hear the day before NSD that Bob Stoops will be joining the staff. Since the coaching staff was already filled Stoops will fill in as a Graduate Assistant until a full position opens up (this may be what held up Meyer from coming). Stoops is really impressed with what BK is doing for this to happen, and he can't wait to beat USC.

I guess for me looking at different forums we have people saying that there is big news coming, which just seems like a shot in the dark since there is no names or good clues. Anyone can make a statement like this and be right at some point. I have been a notre dame fan since I can remember and don't know if because I'm getting older or what I just get more intrigued by recruiting. Must be telling myself to get a life. I played football for a small college, bad choice could have played bigger show but didn't like the bench idea, just remember waiting to hear notre dame scores while I was still playing during my game. 36 years old now

GH is a good place to read if you want to cut back on BS. Other boards tend to have more activity with occasional connections to a recruit as a result. They also supply much more fluff rumors and opinions/guesses.
Get a Gold Club membership here for what I consider the most straight forward and honest info. If you are starving for more action you can lurk or post on the other boards as I do here and there.

Your new so Welcome to Gold Helmet! This is probably not the thread at GH that will give you the most info. There are plenty other threads in Football recruiting dedicated to real Accurate news. You stumbled into a thread that is really just a knock on a Recruitnik.
But since your here....
I just got news that Muschamp's car was jacked last night and he secretly moved him and his family back to Texas in the middle of the night. Several Athletes are back in play and Burton is rumored to be visiting this week. Charlie is also Rumored to be taking the reigns at UF. He will be bringing Ty Willingham in as Recruiting Director and he will also be the head Coach of Men's Golf Team.

Rumor has it, Jason is actually TSV finishing up recruiting. It's not enough just to go to a good school, but the schools have to have a kick ass message board. So GH'er's lets make this the most kick ass site and finish up our recruiting!
Just messin', Jason. Welcome aboard. Although I'm not messin' when I say this is a pretty damn good message board. I have to go nowhere else to find any new ND news, which is a blessing.
