Urban Meyer was on the short list for the ND coaching job and he used that leverage to jack up his contract value at Florida where he was already secretly committed to go, because his wife likes Florida better than Indiana and because he "could win there sooner."
Well, Coach Meyer favors a recruiting method known as poaching. He waits until a recruit commits to another school, then a month or two later, starts "recruiting" the kid's best friend on his high school team. He has the friend start in on the desired player. "Hey, you ought to talk to these guys. They got a great program. And they told me some bad shit about ND you ought to hear before you finally decide." The appeal of this approach for Coach Meyer is that it's easier to lie about one school, than lie about a half dozen. Even an eighteen year-old would realize all those schools he thought he liked couldn't be that bad.
Anyway, Omar showed up for the Under Armor High School All Star game yesterday and had a very bad day, thanks to Braxton Cave, another ND commit playing offensive center for the opposing squad.
That's Braxton.
Thats Braxton spoiling Omar's day.
And when he came off the field he had to deal with Jamortis Slaughter, another ND commit giving him that "You'd best not even think about looking at me, bitch"
stare.
The 2008 ND recruiting class, currently the highest ranked in the country are vocal about how tight they are as a group, and how eager they are to make their presence felt at ND. I guess they didn't like Omar falling for Urban's bull-shit.
PS Omar's probably a really nice kid.
