Eddie Vanderdoes announcement<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

Farrell is reporting some pretty positive updates from the EV camp.

NDKane- Yes hearing it might be ND.  His family all wants him to go to ND but he does like UCLA. 

A second source now telling me Eddie Vanderdoes is [#ND] as of right now, could change later in the day but this is big. [#RivalsNSD]

Farrell's tweet.

Also Bryant is late on his papers.  Hope he doesnt turn.

Bryant's LOI is now in.

Is there a web site that show who faxed in their letters?  I thought I was following it last year.

UND.com should have updates.

Bryant is signed and now we just need Foster. 


Vanderdose looks like he might be Irish  

Vanderdoes

Who are Foster and Vanderdose?

Folston's should be coming in around 9:30 or so.  His LOI is the one I'm looking forward to the most outside of EV.

I was reading an article about Foster.  I guess his name was stuck in my head.  I know Folston .  I changed Eddie's name.

It looks like Redfield, Folston, and Smythe are the only ones who have not sent in their LOI yet

Smythe is in now...just waiting on Redfield and Folston.

And of course EV's decision later this evening.

Jason Sapp just reported Folston is good.  Should be in soon.  Nothing on Redfield

Redfield news- You cant send it in until 7am and it just hit 7am in cali. 

Redfield just tweeted he has sent his LOI.

Waiting on one...

nice

Eddie just texted me and asked who is the heck is Puregie.

Ole Miss, Auburn, Florida State, and Ohio State having a good day today. Hopefully Eddie Vanderdoes gives us something to smile about.

Hilarious...I guess when Purguy changed in pic he was all screwed up....I know I was...hahahaha

come on down EV.....

Folston now saying it will be in by 2:30 cali time.  We just have to wait and see.

Folston's from Cocoa, FL, why would he reference California time?  Auburn making full court press problably. 

So far, looks like, Folston aside, we had zero defections (not counting Anzalone).  A huge sigh of relief from last year.  I guess there's still a shot at Vanderdoes, but I also heard there was a foul up and ND put out a release saying he signed.  Vanderdoes took to twitter and voiced his frustration at such reports, which if you're the paranoid sort, could read into him turning off to us if its really that close between UCLA and us.  All the chatter trended that we may yet land him, I guess we'll all have to wait and see.

Of course I recall the NSD drama with Davonte Neal, he was going to sign, he wasn't, his press conference was delayed, he was arguing with his dad, and then ultimately signed with us.  Sounds like more of the same, and this circus may help sell website subscriptions, but isn't really healthy for all involved, players, coaches or fans.

Assuming status quo, still a very strong class.  Assuming we lose Foston, that will be a disappointment, but still a solid class.  Getting Vanderdoes is good for momentum, but not a huge let down IMO.

Anyway, almost as sweet is watching the USC class implode in the last 48 hours.  Apprently, they are down to 12 commitments, Issac not among them, and of the six who could have faxed it in but have not yet done so, only a couple reside within California, so its not a time zone thing, some of these guys sound like they're getting cold feet.  They'll still have their class of mercenaries consisting entirely of 4 and 5* guys, but they are going to have a huge depth problem with a class like this.

Interesting side note too, there was a video I saw on ND Nation yesterday interviewing recruits and the crazy things that go on during the process.  Issac was a bit too candid maybe and let slip that he's been offered a car (he didn't say by whom, but being committed to USC for a while now, one wonders).  If the NCAA has any sense left, they'll probably want to talk to Ty about that one.

jjc- Got Redfield and Folston confused with schools.  2:30 because he has a thing at his school.

According to rivals.com,  Tarean Folston has signed his LOI!!
