| Because it relates to Hafis Williams, I am just moving this info into his thread. This is based on comments made by Hafis after the B&G game concerning a speech that Brady Quinn gave to new & potentially new recruits.
To paraphrase Brady, he basically told the guys, including Hafis Williams, that ND is a unique place because of the tradition and the fact that education is truly taken seriously. If you really want to go to college for higher learning and to learn football from a great system and a great coach then come to Notre Dame, if you don't feel like you can fit into that tradition and can not be yourself here, then don't come to Notre Dame. It was basically a CW recruiting speech, but because it came out of BQ's mouth, it left a very favorable impression on Williams, who was already a fan of the tradition aspect of ND. Hafis even talked about the Grotto and the march of the team across campus to the stadium, and may have left campus with an even more favorable opinion of the University than the football program which he also had nothing but positive things to talk about. He wants to come back for an Official Visit during a fall game.
To add one point, if Hafis does indeed come back for an Official Visit in the Fall, considering how impressed he was with the campus on a non-football weekend, I would be amazed if he did not commit after spending a football weekend at ND. Williams obviously loves ND, his only hesitation is going to be whether he wants to be that far away from home. |
