This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

TEs Staes & Raridon (legacy) appear to be stronger prospects by Hickster
He might have looked at ND's depth and other TEs considering ND, and decided his football career would be better served elsewhere. Nickel from Georgia (3-Star #23 rated TE by 247) was the 2nd recruit to verbal to ND, so it is not surprising that he decommitted.
If ND gets 2 TEs then Raridon will probably commit soon and Staes (4-Star #10 rated TE - also from Georgia), has been offered by all the elite SEC teams), and appears to be an ND lean. This decommit doesn't appear to sting too badly.
I wish Nickel the best going forward, and he has a good career.
