You swallow. :lol:

I hope he does well, but as someone else mentioned, you can never know what a kid is going to decide until after the decision is made, and even then, it's not set in stone (re: Carufel).

Gawd, will he be bored December through August. :)

I think Floyd was told that either the team starts winning, or Charlie is gone (is this what you were referring to sandgk?)...

Nope - and even though BN$ is open for all to see during October I feel it would be wrong to post a suggestion gleaned from their $ board --

Though I guess you could say I've told you where to look, even if I haven't turned over the rock to show you what is underneath.

Damn - I hate being cryptic.

Yes, as usual you have people claiming that we cooled on him and that our WR class was "full" and that he cooled on us after we had a recent commit and he feared he wouldn't play. I'm sure playing time comes into the equation, but it just seems like here was a guy who always had ND in his head, and we just couldn't overcome that. Hence we never even got a visit. Oh well. We got our share of good ones and then some. Shame to miss on Mike, but we'll just have to eek out our livin' as best we can :biggrin:

Is it just me, or does committing without taking all of your visits seem very premature?

I mean I know one of the first trips could seem like it was the perfect place for you, but there's no way you can make a fair comparison without giving all of them a shot.

Doesn't make sense to me.

Aren't these visits free? Come on kids, mooch off the NCAA while you can!

Unless you're going to an SEC school, at which time grades, cars, cash, don't worry, it's all yours. :wink:

For frustrated fans, I guess it really comes down to at what point does the marginal utility of having another wideout becomes less than the marginal utility of having another DL or OL. I think having three WR commitments (possibly four with Scott) pretty much does it.

Personally, I don't want a kid who expects to be given a position or playing time. If he doesn't have enough intestinal fortitude to compete for a position with people that are mentally and athletically his peers; then by all means, go play for Weis. That way you'll get to play for a coach that does extremely well on not accepting personal responsibility.

The Chicago Tribune (vis the Columbus Dispatch)

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- The open cafeteria doors are inviting. The alternative is not. "How long is this going to take?" Michael Floyd asks.
The lunch-period rush convenes all around him. Floyd would prefer to join it. The collective, hormonal miasma would firewall him from interlopers. He wouldn't be strictly anonymous, smiling and horse-collaring friends from behind. But he wouldn't be in demand.
Instead, Mike Scanlan, his football coach, buttonholes him. A visitor wants to talk. Floyd offers a fleeting, blank stare, then relents. He is a five-star receiver recruit who has done scores of interviews. On this day he is polite but detached.
In short, Michael Floyd seems kind of tired of it all.

Michael Floyd is nearing legendary status at his high school, but will that translate to Division I college football?

Rivals5: Impact freshmen

Michael Floyd, WR, St.Paul (Minn.) Cretin-Derham Hall (Notre Dame)

Not many high school receivers can say they've had the career Floyd has. In the last two seasons alone, he has caught 122 passes for 2,487 yards and 32 touchdowns. Floyd followed that up with a great week of practice at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, showing that not only does he have great hands and body control, but he also possesses the ability to beat defensive backs deep. Then his week of practice translated into four catches for 118 yards and two touchdowns in the game. Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis is looking for playmakers on offense and he may have found one that can contribute right away. So don't be surprised if Floyd cracks the starting lineup at some point during the season.

TOUGH break. Mike was having the best year of any WR this year. There was much debate last year of who was the better freshman WR: Julio Jones or A.J. Green. I think Floyd could be the best of the 3, which makes losing him to Notre Dame that much tougher to swallow.
