Looking for a link or a site where I can watch the announcement.... So excited to have this guy.   In an unrelated topic I did some consulting work for Ole Miss about a month ago, and just got my check. I took it to the bank today and I was told it would not clear.  The lady at the bank said they just had 26 checks cashed today on the Ole Miss account, but I was assured it would cash next week.  Oh well no big deal.

Lmao....classic!

Its funny but I really hope there is nothing behind it. It was a very strange situation I said before it reminds me of SMU. Trust me the NCAA will have its eyes on them. But has a football fan iam tired of seeing these schools get in trouble.

lol I hear you... Its kind of sad really... I heard someone talking about what a great academic institution Ole Miss was and I spit up my freaking coffee....

If they & their alum's/boosters followed the rules, they wouldn't get in trouble...

This right before he announces, enjoy!

I am sure the quality of the education is just fine at SEC schools. I have worked with several alumni of Ole Miss and LSU; they just weren't football players, but regular students.

boom.

Awesome!!  Thanks for posting the video.

I appreciate it... That is so much fun to see a guy select a ND hat. Especially an impact player like that.

Interesting bit on why he chose Notre Dame after the commitment.

Is it just me, or does Eddie V look like he's gonna be one mean guy on the field.  Here's to hoping he brings some straight nasty to the D-Line!

I think it's just you.  He seems really mild mannered when he throws offensive linemen around like rag dolls!

Check out some film from his All American practices, wow...

Wow, just wow.  I watched both videos and things that stuck out to me....

1. After seeing the vids I am even more shocked we got him.  Bama Is the most powerful football team and dynasty these young guys have seen In their lifetime as football fans.  UCLA was on a recruiting war path to end the season, they are close to home, quality coaches, and his principal was UCLA alum.  Our staff did an amazing job.  Especially considering how late we got Into the hunt for him.  Bama did a good job too because they got In even later than we did.

2. He said It was really close between Bama and ND and education put us over the top.......speaks to his character and maturity.

3. For him being from Cali that was an incredibly loud ovation and screams for his decision.  

4. I know some of you people dont like the term swagger.  But, swagger has been around forever, Its just had a different name with each generation.  The way he goes about himself and carries himself, he just has a 'swagger' and sense of confidence that Is contagious to the people around you.  Hes gonna be a leader for us In the future and the perfect person for Big Lou to pass the torch to.

5.  He Is big even out of pads and plays mean as all Hell.  He Is gonna be a fan favorite from the get go.

Yes! That's exactly what I was thinking.

May have been coached to cheer wildly for the "broadcast," and those students probably care a lot less than us recruiting board yahoos do about which school he actually lands at.  I screamed like a girl.

On the other hand, northeast of Sacramento is a LONG way from $C, and they don't necessarily love LA up there.  I'd guess they're more Cal, Stanford and even Oregon fans in those parts.
