Comments on: Vanderdoes Having Second Thoughts? Let the Speculation Begin https://www.herloyalsons.com/blog/2013/05/21/vanderdoes-having-second-thoughts-let-the-speculation-begin/ A Notre Dame Football Blog Wed, 22 May 2013 12:22:52 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.8.4 By: TK https://www.herloyalsons.com/blog/2013/05/21/vanderdoes-having-second-thoughts-let-the-speculation-begin/#comment-253257 Wed, 22 May 2013 12:22:52 +0000 http://www.herloyalsons.com/blog/?p=20268#comment-253257 I find this hard to believe. Four months after the fact and all of the sudden “how Notre Dame handled signing day” is bothering Vanderdoes. Something smells here. I’m sorry……..I don’t buy it. Sounds like an excuse to me. Hope he stays but this seems a little fishy to me.

As close-knit as this group appears to be, I’m sure they’ve reached out to EV. I’m also sure it is a delicate game they have to play to not be overbearing on him as well.

While normally I’d be all for “let him go”, the difference here is that EV signed a LOI which is world’s different than going back on a verbal.

I don’t want ND to set a precedent for releasing kids from their LOIs simply for changing their minds. Now, if there are some other reasons at play, I’m perfectly fine with that, but such facts haven’t come to light yet.

I’m fine with him leaving, but he needs to honor the LOI for a year and sit out the whole year if he simply wants to play elsewhere. The LOI needs to mean something or Pandora’s box has flown open for us.

A lot of these guys build relationships during the recruiting process. I wonder if any of the other incoming freshman are calling him.

I first heard rumor last night and was shocked , of course. Now that I’ve slept on it, I will wait until actual facts are released and we hear from Eddie or the Vanderdoes family. If these rumors are anywhere near true,everything will be just fine. It seems very trivial to me also,but maybe not to Eddie. If he feels in the back of his mind that he was let down by ND , he won’t be 100% all in. If not then its better for everyone involved for Eddie to make a decision that will make him comfortable and able to be 100% and move on , whether its ND , UCLA or elsewhere.We have no right to be pissed at him and I’m not. If this is how he feels,I’m disappointed. But this is Eddie’s life and he has the right to make decisions that effect his life. If this happened and if this is the reason for a change of heart,it happened after he chose ND. So its not just a frivolous change of mind. Don’t be selfish Irish fans,we’ll be just fine if Eddie chooses to leave. Obviously lets hope not, but…..
