'09 SC DE Chris Bonds (Alabama Verbal) - Page 2 - Notre Dame Football Discussion

I agree he's got that mentality about him that he just wants to run through you. We haven't had one of these in a long time.

The coaching staff has really upped their contact with Bonds. In response, he scheduled an official visit to the Michigan game (Sept 13).

I like that.

This is pure speculation. Chris Bonds was busy trying to decide with his father what schools he would visit during the spring and summer until he visited USC. Then he decided he was not going to take visits, but was going to concentrate on his senior season. USC is suppose to have four silent commits. Given the unusual termination of possible campus visits after the USC visit, doesn't it appear that Chris has verballed to USC? Is it only I who feel that his behavior is unusual for a recruit without a home? From his interviews he always struck me as a USC type football player rather than an ND type. I think he is a USC silent commit.

I haven't read anything about him being a possible silent commit to Southern Cal, but anything is possible.

If he were a silent commit, then it doesn't say much about his commitment if he ends up taking all the officials during the season. To have a chance, ND will need to make sure he visits for the Michigan game and get a good bit of recruiting help from Gary Gray, his former teammate.

The nice thing about this year is that schools like Texas, OSU and USC are all filling up quickly. So that's going to create some space issues for kids who want to wait until after the season, the all-star games or even NSD.

So even if USC is in the lead, him waiting may put him on the outside without an actionable offer.

Which USC are you referring to ... U of So. Carolina OR U of So. California?
