Here is the catch though after those visits he is coming BACK to ND for ANOTHER visit. He has a visit to Florida on July 20th so I don't like that. If he is making two trips to ND during this tour could he end his recruitment? or will he go to Gainesville and attend BBQ's and be told "It's cold in South Bend"...Floyds response would be "But Urban, I'm from MinneSNOWta I'm used to the cold".........Urbans response....."See the brown bag over there...don't ask what's in it, it's yours."

Anyways, the dual visit thing is pretty promising for ND's odds. Considering the way some of the other schools are recruiting, its starting to appear that it'll be ND, Minnesota, and UF as the top competitors. Ohio State only has somewhere around 5 spots left for their class, and already has at least one WR (two if Stoneburner plays WR as well). Michigan is putting more of their eggs in the baskets of Jonathan Baldwin, Darryl Stonum, and Vaughn Carraway. Not to say that situation could change, but I think they were scared off by the early interest in ND from Floyd, and hitched their wagons with other recruits.

Minnesota was going after Floyd no matter what, and Florida... well, we know why they would've wanted to offer a kid ND did...

I still think that Floyd ends up Irish. We would have had him had Buckner not been swept away by Texas at the last minute, and I still think we've got enough going for us to get him in the fold.

Floyd might be going more to test his ability against some of the south's top prospects and not just to visit the Gators. I may be off on this, but that is my take.

I wouldnt expect a commit from him on his second trip to ND, but I wouldnt rule it out just because he has a visit to Friday Night Lights on tap.

--------I heard he will not be competing in any camps or anything like that, just visiting everywhere.

That would make a lot of sense. He competed in camps last year, so he's already got as much out of the camping experience as he probably ever will. He's got a list of suitors he's happy with, so there isn't any pressing need to "impress" the coaching staffs he's visiting at these camps.

Not to mention the harem of busty bikini-clad young women lounging around where that brown bag is. Urbie is a cockwad and will pull out all stops, as we all know!

I like the idea of him committing on his 2nd visit and going to Gainesville to recruit for us.

Hold your breath, the last stretch of recruiting is gonna be the hardest and longest.

Cretin's Floyd starts shopping for college - Highly ranked receiver favoring Midwest programs

Its down to 7, and the only "outsider" is Florida. Some interesting things in this one. Doesn't sound like he'd be planning to verbal some time this summer, but its nice to see that we are the only school that has an official scheduled with him. Its a pretty nice article.
