Nice find. Cross referencing that with the ND phonebook, you'll notice that ARMOND is indeed his middle name.

Woot.

OH OH OH OH OH OH

IT'S PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!!!!




Great find both of you.

Imagine how this would help our recruiting. Demetrius Jones was apparently helping Notre Dame a lot with their recruiting. Morgan Park churns out tons of talent.

I guess you could say this "boosts" our 2006 recruiting class!

people, you just blew my mind.

Great research work.

Well...I pretty much feel like a lazy jerk.

I'll rep ya.

Thanks! I'm sorry about not giving you credit for the cross-reference!

Charlie's fat Irish ass is on the line and he is going to let Clausen get experience in the hope that will save his job with a "big" year in 2009. D Jones or Shapley(?) never had a chance.

Good luck D. Jones!

Are you sure his fat ass is all Irish?

Now THIS is what a message board is all about! Wow.

Fantastic work by you guys. GREAT job!!

Hi Notre Dame fans! Go Big Blue! (I feel dirty even saying that.)

We had a transfer last month from Michigan, Cobrani Mixon, an LB who was ranked in the top 10 LB's in the country and one of the top 5 overall players in Ohio when he graduated HS in Cincy in 2006. He spent one year at UM and decided to come to KSU to play with one of his HS teammates. The UM board was crying about this loss as he looks like a gem and their defense is, well, we all know. Kelly at UC was working hard to get him to transfer to UC but he picked the Flashes. Word is he is a monster in practice now and a great addition in every repsect. He'll have 3 years of eligibility starting next year.
GL getting this guy!

axeme is a very clever user name.

Are you black?

If not - have you not offended all those diversity warriors?

Based on the following line, I do not think he will be eligible in 2008:

Quote:For your academic year in residence to count toward your eligibility to play, you must sit out only at the school where you intend to play.

Because he has already played a game this season, I think the NCAA would tell you he is NOT sitting out this season. He has played and has participated, therefore his one-year clock would not start until the 2nd semester this year at NIU.

He could appeal that, but based on that sentence, I don't think his one-year clock starts right now, regardless of when he enrolled at NIU.

Remember, the purpose of the rule is to cost the kid a year of eligibility, and considering he's played this year, that wouldn't happen if he's cleared for 2008.

I may be wrong, but that sentence would indicate that you have to actually sit out for a full year, which can't happen now that he's already played a game.

I doubt we still offer that QB from Iowa James Vandenberg now. We don't need two QB's in our 2008 class when we have so few scholarships and have so many QB's on our roster.

From Irish Insights:

Quote:Charlie Weis released a statement a few moments ago addressing the matter.

"At 2:30 today, while boarding the bus to Michigan, I was notified that Demetrius Jones had decided not to make the trip. I have not spoken to Demetrius and can only say he missed the team bus. Any additional comment would be without all the facts."

OH MY GOD I AM SO PUMPED!!! if there is ANY way for him to play next year...we need to make it happen..HOLY SH1T!!!!! IMAGINE NEXT YEARS TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ahhh!!!!!!
