Class of 2023 DL Will Norman (NJ) Portal from Marshall

[721Comstock]

The staff said no to him? I have a hard time believing that as he was invited for a visit no?

Reading between the lines….

Perhaps this is similar to a Jesse Edwards situation?

Where the player wanted to be Cuse, but somebody else in their camp kept pushing for more $?
Even after an agreement had been made?

And then we said thanks, but no thanks.

That’s the vibe I’m getting here.

 

[SUforme]

Someone as talented as Norman and Diggs?! No they don't...

Yeah I'm not buying that. If they weren't interested they wouldn't have been invited for an OV.

 

[Cusefan69]

I interpret it as some recruits are scheduling a public announcement instead of a social media post.

This ^^^^^ is 100 percent what CL meant.

 

[TheHaze315]

Yeah I'm not buying that. If they weren't interested they wouldn't have been invited for an OV.

“Official visits help staffs eliminate potential prospects too”

 

[SUforme]

“Official visits help staffs eliminate potential prospects too”

Don't they already have a baseline for a kid before an OV, especially a NJ kid?

 

[VikesCuse84]

Could it be he plans to announce at a later date?

 

[Sudano]

They didn’t say no to Diggs?

Just really surprised they would turn down a 6-4 300lb DT experienced talented transfer in a desperate position of need. Could be what other poster said about NIL debate from his camp

 

[Cusesky8214]

I think people are getting confused with all that's happening around here

 

[Chip]

From CuseLegacy: You may have to wait until 12/20 for some of these commitment announcements.

How do we interpret this.

I interpret it as we have to wait until December 20 for some of the commitment announcements.

 

[Cusefan69]

Yeah this is my thinking. Multiple insiders were confirming he was on board. Not saying that cannot change, because it does frequently. I am just saying I have not seen a single person saying he was not coming until this thread 5 minutes ago but it seems questionable. Need to see some of our insiders confirm this.

We know that but which one's? We got Heard already, Grant is not a huge deal for me...
I was trying to find out about Diggs and Norman which are bigtime DL

Is TheHaze315 an insider? because he is implying we turned Norman down, so he may not be coming...

 

[Franz69]

12/20 is for the high school commits, not the portal transfers.

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

I have wanted him as much as the next guy but maybe he just wasn’t vibing with the defensive coaches or there’s an NIL disparity. A lot can happen in the next few days as well.

 

[Sudano]

Who are the DTs? Ingraham, Norman, Gordon, Fuentes-Cundiff, and Perry.

No Norman

Uh-Oh, I think money3169 is an insider...

 

[TheHaze315]

I’m not an insider but if you head to a certain insiders website you can have the same information I get…

 

[VikesCuse84]

I’m not an insider but if you head to a certain indeed website you can have the same information I get…

Damn I’m shocked we would turn him down, I wonder what the issue was?

 

[anomander]

Definitely a position of need. Would be a bummer...without trying to sound greedy

 

[TheHaze315]

Damn I’m shocked we would turn him down, I wonder what the issue was?

No idea, could be a cultural thing.

 

[Cusesky8214]

Interesting...well all aboard the Diggs train and let's see what else Fran has up his sleeve.

 

[Sudano]

I’m not an insider but if you head to a certain insiders website you can have the same information I get…

Thanks. Who's insider's website?

 

[orangemass]

Lots of confusion. We didn’t turn him down. It was just some random speculation

 

[tep624]

No idea, could be a cultural thing.

Yeah so strange. I’d love to learn more about that.

 

[VikesCuse84]

Lots of confusion. We didn’t turn him down. It was just some random speculation

So is he still a possibility? Or the speculation was just in regards to why he didn’t commit?

 

[Doc5120]

So is he still a possibility? Or the speculation was just in regards to why he didn’t commit?

I'm more confused than I normally am. I hope we still have a shot. After McCord, Norman and Diggs are the top 2 guys I'd really like us to get
