'08 KS WR/ATH Chris Harper (Oregon Verbal)

From a poster at GH. Not sure about his track record, so take it FWIW:

Just listened to an interview with Chris Harper. I don't have a good feeling about this at all. he said he was surprised at how little was going on on campus during his unofficial visit compared to other schools. He said he didn't have a favorite and will be there for the USC game either officially or unofficially, but really didn't seem too excited about Notre Dame. Judging by the fact that he shares Arthur Brown's "recruiting consultant," I question his interest in getting a ND offer. Don't hold your breath on Harper!!

I've actually read the opposite. From what I saw he really liked he visit to ND and thought it was a beautiful campus. So much so that he talked about it quite a bit to A.Brown on their trip of schools through the south and started comparing most of the schools to ND. Some also thought that these talks may have somewhat piqued Arthur's interest in ND. I still don't think A.Brown will end up at ND regardless of which school Harper chooses, but maybe it'll help some next year with Bryce Brown.

That would be great, but I was under the impression that the two Brown brothers want to play at the same school. Did I misread something about that?

This is from IK:

I just listened to his interview on Irish Tuesdays by B&G.com (who accually do player interviews every week unlike Power Hour who bores the sh*t out of me with their "board coaches") and I got the vibe that he was a little turned off by the lack of activity in South Bend during the summer. He's coming to the USC game and obviously prefers QB, but it depends on the situation. Not the most flatering of interviews based on his reaction to his visit to SB. He liked the players (DJ, Jabbie, West), but it was dead unlike alot of other places he visited this summer. He said he may decide on NSD so he's obviously not worried about having a spot.

I think I saw something where they said it would be cool to play together, but they both had to pick the best place for themselves, so they wouldn't necessarily be going to the same school.

I'm not worried about the whole lack of activity thing. You have to remember he was here when just about eveyone else was home for the summer. If he does end up comming to the USC game then the atmosphere and campus will be a verry different place this time around.

Very true!
