he didn't want to be at Notre Dame. You would rather he be forced to stick it out and then transfer?
those things are slanted completely in favor of the school.
to campus and who isn’t?
don't be ridiculous. This is all set up to benefit the school and the coaches.
If I remember right, there was an issue that he wanted to announce it to his high school and keep the suspense, but ND received his fax early and put his signing out there on a press release. So he was upset about that.
(which seems kind of weird)
Then he said he needed/wanted to be near his grandmother, but I believe she lived in SF area, but he went to UCLA.
I'm not defending the snarks. I just think that's where it is coming from. I'm with you, ND fans have not had many issues with incoming transfers.
and wants to go somewhere else, let him.
It is always so tough to find that at ND and he picked us over Alabama.
Never even gave it a chance (unlike Aaron Lynch or even Gunner Kiel).
Why bother Eddie? You pumped up our hopes - it would have been better to just take Bama and then leave there in a few months.
