So disappointing.

To come into work, sit down with a cup of Joe and a danish, and then open "Rock's House" and find NO new postings since early yesterday afternoon.

Come on people, you need to step it up. I know it's the really off-season but surely there is something to say.

Well, on to the "Back Room." I know that won't let me down.

PS. Jaylon Smith coming back and earning his degree is very cool.

Rock’s House does not exist solely for your entertainment.

It exists solely for mine. Therefore, I too am pissed. Might as well be spending my time reading transcripts of The Dan Le Batard Show.


I believe Rock's House exists for all! A force for good

Let's try not to need to have this conversation again.


Chris Tyree is likely committing to ND a week from today.

That's some great news. He'd be the highest ranked RB Kelly has landed. A true game changer prospect- that skill guy that everyone here bitches we aren't getting. Between he and Johnson, we may have two lethal threats the next four years.


How's his pass blocking? *

Higher than Greg Bryant?
by ndroman21  (2019-05-16 11:36:45)     cannot delete  |  Edit  |  Return to Board  |  Ignore Poster   |   Highlight Poster  |   Reply to Post

Wasn’t Bryant a Top 25 player nationally, or am I misremembering?


Yes, as of now.

Greg Bryant was 45th overall in the composite rankings. Rivals was high on him, and that's what you're likely thinking of, but the other services had him more as a very good but not elite prospect.

Chris Tyree is 29th overall in the composite rankings and the #1 all purpose back. Alabama and Oklahoma really wanted him. He has home run potential.


Not sure if he's higher, but..
by BigNDfan  (2019-05-16 11:37:28)     cannot delete  |  Edit  |  Return to Board  |  Ignore Poster   |   Highlight Poster  |   Reply to Post

He's the highest since Bryant.


Way to jinx it. He was considered a lock for Oklahoma

a month ago.

People are hopeful, from what I’ve seen.

His ND official was set for June. Now he’s set to wrap it all up in one week. So who knows.


Without going too far into it.

Many people who are paid to know these things would be shocked if he didn't commit to ND next week.

Also he was never considered an Oklahoma lock. ND led for most of the way, then he leaned Oklahoma after his visit before quickly going right back to an ND lean. He was just enamored by a great visit. Once it wore off he remembered why he loved ND this whole time.


That's a much deeper and more positive take than I've seen.

And yes, it the coffee paired well with the pastry.


Decaf in the morning? Doesn't that defeat the purpose? *
