Newman does have a good relationship with the KY coaching staff, but in a very short period of time, he has also established a good rapport with Corwin Brown. I think Brandon has been an ND lean since the day he was offered. He was offered right before the March Junior Day, and immediately wanted to come to South Bend, but could not because of a prior committment to attend Louisville's Junior Day. Then he was planning on visiting in the summer, but changed his plans so that he could come next week during his Spring Break. Newman knows that he can start as a Freshman at ND. Even if the Irish can pull off a miracle & recruit both Marcus Forston & Hafis Williams, Newman is the best suited of the 3 to play the Nose Guard in the ND 3-4 Defense. 4 years as a NG starter in a 3-4 Defense for a high profile school like Notre Dame = if Brandon is as good as we hope, a virtual automatic 1st round pick in the NFL Draft.
Also, you can read into this what you want. Brandon is traveling with his Mom to visit various other schools before coming to South Bend. His Dad, who lives in Detroit, is only coming to South Bend.
