NEW SLANG: OMAR HUNTER

Your forgot one section.

Recruitment: Paid in full and poached per Meyer, Urban.

/bitter ND fan

This guy is generally not suited for Division One football. He has slow feet and (scrolling up to check) a lack of character.

One comment—a new record. We thought it would take at least three or four.

Is it ok if I skip the football-related insults and just swear at him?

/bitter ND fan #2
//At least you have to admit there’s a lot to be bitter about.

Should we mention that he decommitted from Notre Dame so that he could play for Greg Mattison?

Wait..what’s that? Mattison announced he was leaving after Hunter committed? I’m stunned.

Wow. ND fans are on their game today. As opposed to, say, 13 Saturday’s in the fall.

Beauford, I’ll have you know we would have brought our A-Game on that 13th Saturday…and still gotten our ass handed to us.

/Willingham’s fault?

It’s good to know that you created a statistical model for this.

I remember when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade. Our bus broke down on the way to picking up other kids. There was about 6kids on the bus, it was still dark out… and hellishly cold… must’ve been in January. We went to a good friend of mine’s house (one of the black kids we just picked up- lived on a dirt road middle of BFE) to wait on another bus to come get us. His house smelled like awesome bacon, butter, and biscuits. I told my mom that’s what I wanted my house to smell like when I woke up. She wasn’t impressed. Too bad she wasn’t Urban Meyer.

He seems to spend a lot of time falling down on his hands/knees……I guess that’s not a negative if it means you have blown your opponent ten yards back/downfield……….

@Orson – just glad to be here and contribute.

@Beauford – a cocktail to you for bringing the funny.

How the hell can a Gamecock fan be a ND fan?!? I hate ND. I hate them because back when SC was independent, ND and Miami were the two schools nearly always ranked ahead of us in the independents under the conference ranking list in the paper. Damn them both, I say.

@OoC ,
I’m a Catholic boy from Chicago whose family moved South when I was a kid.
Smart enough not to venture back above the Mason-Dixon line, however, and attended Carolina.
Once and ND fan….

After a surprisingly long respite from the EDSBS comment section, I’m kind of pissed that the deadspin slashy thing has made its way to this website.

Worry not about his knees and ankles. Auburn rotated off the schedule for the duration of Mr. Hunter’s eligibility.

It hurts me that I beat AZTiger to that one.

@OoC: As a native Columbian UF grad now living in Tampa, it pains me to say that you forgot F$Ux on the list of independents pereniialy ranked above the Cocks … and of course, there was also that great Navy team.

Beauford FTW

The 1984 Navy squad was epic.

Dammit. If that TE recruit Allen hadn’t screwed UGA on signing day, Hunter would be a Dawg. And Florida’s DL situation?

Dire.

FU Coop – you did not need to bring up the 1984 Navy team. Damnitt, the high water mark of Gamecock football….

BfB – Aye, I did forget about the Noles.

@ 19 – Allen didn’t screw Georgia. Everyone interested in him knew he didn’t want to attend Georgia, including Georgia. He had Georgia rammed down his throat by his high school coach and unofficial father figure, Wayne Inman, father of former Georgia OL, Dan Inman.

Fortunately for us, we were the compromise pick, because regardless of what Allen was saying publicly, he was not going to attend Georgia if he could attend another school and still pacify Inman.

Richt should have seen the writing on the wall and backed off Allen and accepted Hunter’s commitment.

beauford @#6…aahahahahahahaha!!!!!

Uh….Allen was telling UGA as late as three days before signing day he would be a Dawg. That’s why we were telling Omar we had no spots left.

I’m not pissed he decommitted to UGA, I just think he sucks for doing it on signing day, thereby f ing us pretty good.

At least AJ Harmon gave Clemson time for a plan B

Wow. ND fans are on their game today. As opposed to, say, 13 Saturday’s in the fall.

Hey, the fans were on their game.

Looks to better utilized as an offensive guard, just kind of stands there and jumps on the pile on defense. Perhaps he was distracted by those sharp green on green uni’s.

“Richt should have seen the writing on the wall and backed off Allen and accepted Hunter’s commitment.”

UGA doesn’t pull scholarships once we’ve offered (excepting a Sean Respert type case), as opposed to a school that might, say, pull the scholarship of a player who is raising his little brother on his own.

I hear he takes off a bunch of plays. That is what a Michigan fan told me when he originally picked ND over the wolverines.

I recall the Dwayne Allen saga, and trust me, he did not want to attend Georgia.

The kid visits Clemson for the first time less than 2 weeks before NSD, and that is all it took to renege on his Georgia commit that had been “firm” for over a year?

Truthfully, Allen had more interest in being a Tar Heel than a Bulldog, but Inman was not having any of that. Allen was visiting Carolina unofficially during the football season, not Athens.

Again, Clemson was a compromise pick, as we had Chavis, another former Inman player, and Inman could stomach delivering Allen to us.

Richt was listening to Inman reassure him that Allen was going to sign with Georgia, when he should have been paying more attention to Allen’s actions, and certainly not his words.

Kenny @ 15
My thoughts (in order) watching that video:
1. BIG kid
2. kinda like Dorsey at LSU
3. Auburn on schedule?
4. knee’s are safe…

Yeah, maybe we should be bitter, but whatever, he’s free to do as he chooses in life.

I will say though, that he’s goign to be a pretty tough player. UF has a good one in him.

Urbie is still a bastard though. I forget who it was who’s at Texas now who commented as much about Meyer’s recruiting policies.

This thread begs the question: who’s more easily trolled, Domers or my fellow Buckeyes? In a fit of pure homerism, I’m saying ND based off of their Scout and Rival boards. But, you know, they are Scout and Rival boards.

@29 Coop

I’m over it, really. No hard feelings. Karma is a bitch. Things always work out for the better. Move forward, I always say. He is just a kid. We’re loaded at DE. Ad Nausaem soliloquies.

Am I disappointed that he didn’t sign with UGA? No, I am disappointed that he held a commitment from UGA and stated TWO days prior that he was in the fold. Maybe he had the foresight not to get stranded ala Zebrie Sanders. Maybe he is just an indecisive prima donna. Whatever.

Maybe he will meet UGA in the future and he can prove or disprove his decision, although I truthfully cannot see UGA in the Chic-fil-a Bowl in the next four years.

My world is filled with few absolutes. Sun rises in the east, fathers are for knowledge, mothers are for survival, death is inevitable and parsimonious diatribe from Coop is inevitable as well as intriguing.

@32 Pogue

Probably us Domers. Although I was mostly kidding earlier. A lot of Domers are pretty smart (you kinda have to be) but there’s also a hair trigger on account of the perception of decades of persecution. As to whether or not that perception’s accurate…it kinda depends on where you’re coming from. We get love from some of the establishment, but we’re hated by virtually all the other fans and some other parts of established media.

My biggest gripe, and what’ll always get me talking, is the “overrated” shit. We don’t rate ourselves.

Ed Chester was all-SEC 1st team as a true soph in ‘96, and Alex Brown had a decent soph season. I don’t remember how much either played as freshman, but Chester had some pretty good d-lineman in front of him in 95, at least the first 12 games of the year.

Friggin’ draw 4 card.

Gets me every time.

(replace “draw 4 card” with “Auburn” for 2006, 2007 seasons)

Unfortunately, I have to go with Coop on this Allen thing. Everyone in Charlotte knew the kid was going to reneg on his commitment to UGA. Word had it that he did it to screw Inman, because he was so pissed off at him. UGA just happened to be a casualty of war. Sucks for us, because Omar would be in Athens, but as Coop said – shouldn’t have been listening to Inman.

I still don’t get this “shouldn’t have listened to Inman” thing. Allen was offered. He accepted. So some would say that Richt should have known he was going to renege? And have done what? Assume he was lying about his commitment (as folks here have assured us he was, as opposed to changing his mind at the eleventh hour) and pull the offer? That’s no way to act, and I’m glad Richt didn’t.

“Richt was listening to Inman reassure him that Allen was going to sign with Georgia, when he should have been paying more attention to Allen’s actions, and certainly not his words.”

Well, I was listening to the impromptu and unnecessary presser Allen staged two days before signing day emphasizing his intention to sign with UGA. Clemson fans can rationalize it any way they like, but Dewayne Allen showed himself to be pure sewage with the way he handled that one.

Hat for signing day: $35
ESPN in town to film his decision: $40,000
Arguing over decisions of 17 and 18 year olds: Idiotic

Georgia fans are an interesting breed.

When Brandon Thompson committed to Clemson, all the Georgia fans said his commitment meant squat because everyone in his middle of nowhere, podunk, Georgia hometown is a Georgia fan, alum, etc, and there would be considerable pressure exerted to make sure Thompson ended up a Bulldog.

I don’t recall anyone in red and black crying when Thompson reneged on Clemson and verballed to Georgia.

Timing aside, haha, there is no difference in the two.

Mark Richt should have been paying attention to Dwayne Allen’s actions, where he was taking unofficial visits in the fall, where he was not taking unofficial visits (Georgia), etc.

Richt and Georgia ignored Allen and assumed Inman would keep an eye on him. A big, no no.

Georgia fans should not have been surprised by the NSD switch, just as Clemson fans should not have been surprised by Thompson’s switch.

When a kid, (Thompson), attends every home game of a school that is not the one he is committed to, perhaps he is looking to sign with another school.

But, when Georgia and St. Richt do the poaching, no worries.

Poaching? He signed with Clemson.

Coop, your argument is weak, non-substantiated and irrelevant, much like …… Nevermind

Coop, I understand Who, What, Where and When.

(Why) is an editorialist dagger. Opinion’s, subjectiveness, innuendo and self serving postulation are the hone of the knives edge. Guided deftly as a surgeon or randomly stabbed by a thug is the pugilists choice. Make your argument based on the facts presented or defer to silence.

Btw, I enjoy the debate.

/ toasting with Dickle/Coke

#41,

I’m not a UGA or Clemson fan, and I don’t really know the particulars of this recruitment. The debate seems to be regarding the way Richt handled the situation, and not about the decision of a young athlete which everyone appears to accept in a “these things happen” sort of way.

That being said I doubt Richt was unaware of waffling on the part of his recruit, and he probably did everything he could to get the young man to make a public anouncement of his intentions. It’s probably better to lose a good player one year then to get a reputation for pulling scholarships because a kid is visiting other schools.
