McCarthy is planning on going to camps at OSU and scUM in the next two weeks, and finish off the month at ND's second 4 day camp starting on June 23.

--------The last of the trips after OSU and UM and 4 days to be swayed, very nice.

The timing is somewhat promising, you always want to be the last place visited, but I don't think it is going to be that significant in this case. Danny may be going to Michigan and OSU to make sure they are not the place for him, but it now seems very unlikely that he would make a decision after the ND visit, as it seems certain that he is going to visit BC after he visits ND. There is also a rumor going around that McCarthy is concerned about the potential committments of Blanton and Slaughter even though CB has made it clear that he is recruiting both of those guys for CB. By the time the ND camp begins on 6/23, Danny will hopefully know about Blanton's decision, but who knows for sure when Slaughter will decide.

BTW, McCarthy will probably not spend all 4 days at the camp, recruits of his caliber sometimes only spend one day, like Gerell Robinson is planning on doing.

----------I'm sure Weis has or will make it aware to Danny that Blanton and Slaughter are going to be corners and that he is the only one coming in as a saftey. Definently not going to lose McCarthy on misinformation IMO.

No doubt about that IK, and there is no way of knowing whether the fear rumors are true, I kind of doubt it myself, but when you are consistenly hearing worries about this, worries about that, that is usually a sign that someone is looking for an excuse not to pull the trigger.

That's what worries me.

there shouldn't be any fear involved if he has any confidence in himself and he is the only one being recruited at the safety position

I definitely agree with that. Worries tend to end up being a recruit buying themselves enough time to convince themselves not to goto a certain school.

--------Hopefully not, maybe he'll be like Sweat was to OSU.
