The Hunt for Eddie Vanderdoes

Twitter may seem like a place to pour out your thoughts, 140 characters at a time but it is probably the place to go now to find BREAKING (and sometimes inaccurate, so be careful) NEWS.

Let's recap where it all started. BSR is usually pretty accurate.

A source tells @ndatrivals that five-star 2013 DL Eddie Vanderdoes is looking to enroll at #UCLA ($): bit.ly/10NojCn

Joe Schad of ESPN contributed these nuggets today, h/t to g.granillo:

Dad of ND recruit Eddie Vanderdoes says he does not support an incoming freshman being released from a NLI simply due to "change of heart"

— Joe Schad (@schadjoe) May 23, 2013

Vanderdoes Dad: "When Eddie explains his side it will shed some light."

— Joe Schad (@schadjoe) May 23, 2013

"@jimmy_otoole: so vanderdoes is not coming to ND?"/Doesn't sound like it

— Joe Schad (@schadjoe) May 23, 2013

I'm sure every Bruin out there did a small backflip with that last tweet.

Also, you know who can't keep news to themselves? RECRUITS. They have probably been calling Eddie, since we technically cannot. It might be wishful thinking on Caleb's part, or maybe he has information we don't have. (thanks again g.granillo)

Our class is great Eddie makes it elite! #bruinrevolution #newbreed

Lets go Bruins ! Vanderdoes too !

Commence another backflip:

With regards to Eddie Vanderdoes, I know he had several suitors when he chose #ND but now is only looking at #UCLA #Bruins

The person to follow is Joe Davidson of the Sacramento Bee, which is the local paper from Eddie's home area:

"@mehta_anand: @sacbee_joed any updates about Vanderdoes? Thanks for your great reporting!"No updates, and thanks.

Irish fans are in a bit of a tizzy that UCLA may land their prize:

Notre Dame fans convinced I am anti-Irish. Really? As a man with a golden dome on top, no issues with golden domers in South Bend

— Joe Davidson (@SacBee_JoeD) May 22, 2013

Oh yes, it's ugly.

Reaction on Vanderdoes news has people in a lather. Some college football "fans" ripping him,going to race card. Rip yourselves...

— Joe Davidson (@SacBee_JoeD) May 21, 2013

Let's keep it positive here on BN (HAHAHA says the critics.) We want what is best for Eddie Vanderdoes and his family and we're sure he'll make the decision that he wants.

This time.

Go Bruins.
