It's been a while but Max singled out ND in this freebie from Adam Gorney.

Winning cures all:

https://n.rivals.com/news/cb-max-wil...offseason-trip

Numerous offseason visits are expected by Williams and he’s especially looking forward to a return trip to Notre Dame.

“I’ve been talking to the coaches and they’ve been coming up,” Williams said. “They’ve been balling recently so I just want to get out there and see the environment again. I went out there my freshman year when they first offered me.”

Freebie from Biggins/247:

Max Williams is one of our favorite corners in the 2019 class and always performs at a high level.

He had a solid showing at the Future 50 and is one of the most skills and technically sound corners in this year's class. You won't anyone more competitive and he plays with a lot of confidence every time out.

"I had a good time, this was a great experience for me," Williams said following the event. "It was fun to come up against some different receiver from other parts of the country and have a guy like Deion Sanders coaching us up, that was pretty cool too."

Williams will be coming out with a top 10 soon but gave us a couple of schools that will definitely make the cut.

"I'm not ready to put my list out but Oklahoma, Oregon, USC, Notre Dame and Alabama are a few schools I'm high on and like a lot.

Now that we're allowed to take official visits early in the process, I'm close to setting some dates with Oklahoma and Notre Dame for the spring.

"I've been talking with coach Cooks at OU and coach Polian at Notre Dame so those will probably be the first two I take.

I'm not planning to make an early commitment right now, I want to play the process out and I'll decide late in the process."

Williams is a four-star prospect rated the No. 87 player nationally in the 247Sports Composite.

vs. Florida State. Probably going to be a big visit list.

[arrowryan]

Probably a recruit that Notre Dame could attract and maybe land if they have another 10 win season.

[Rizzophil]

I don’t think a 9, 10, or 11 win season will ultimately decide if he signs with the Irish ....

14 will guarantee it.

It wouldn't be the sole reason he's sign with ND. Notre Dame winning has helped them get guys before; Greg Bryant is one that sticks out. I'm sure going 12-0 didn't hurt when it came to recruiting Redfield either.

I recall reading that it helped win us Houston Griffith in particular. I also don't think it's a coincidence that Kelly's highest-ranked recruiting class was 2013.

It was also one of the lowest performing, at least the headliners.

Which game? Michigan or Stanford?

In other news... Biggins added a SC CB tonight. That's 10-0 for the Trojans.

His commitment date is SC's bye week.

[Luckylucci]

Stanford

[Irish#1]

Doesn't look good for our Irish, but the staff must "Fight On" in his recruit.

[NDIrish88]

Yeah it kind of sucks that the last CBs on the board are all Cali kids. Haven't gotten a Cali kid to commit at all this year and they have lost out to west coast teams for them like Stanford and UW. If they really want another corner it is gonna be flip city or board expansion.

Cameorn Smith and Shyheim Battle would be solid offers.

[NDCrusader]

Sad development but an interesting situation. Obviously, teams are going to cool on him but the ones who don't are going to move up his board. Here's to a speedy recovery.

We will see how USC plays this since they are the presumed favorite. I would rather have Isaiah Rutherford, IMO. I think having a long corner would really help behind Vaughn and Boykin. If we are going to go with the Max Williams type then Plan B is Max Lenzy in 2020. Obviously Williams is better but still it is an option.

[Irish#1]

It will be interesting to see which rats jump ship.

[NDMIA]

USC has Chris Steele & Trey Davis committed at cornerback. They were leaders for Trent McDuffie but looks like Stanford is out in front now. Other than McDuffie, Max Williams was their top target at the position so it’ll be interesting to see if they are still going to go after him. They did have a period that Max mentioned where communication dropped off a bit and then picked back up this summer so idk if that’s them having him a little further down the board or what.

[koonja]

I wouldn't expect any to cool. He's dominant, and it's an early season tear. He'll be good to go by fall camp of whatever school he takes.

He's a camp junkie, so there's enough film on him they know hes great.

[ab2cmiller]

Committing this Saturday. Final 5 are Utah, USC, Louisville, Notre Dame and Oregon

[BabyIrish]

This is all SC correct?

[NDCrusader]

There's no Final 5 Max. Just tweet your commitment.

[Luckylucci]

This is all SC correct?

Correct. Never made his Oregon or ND OV's due to injury. I don't believe he's ever even visited Utah. He did get out to UL on an OV. Oregon seems to think they'll recruit him to the end and get an OV eventually, I doubt ND does if they land Rutherford.

[irish2018]

Rutherford beat him to the last CB spot

[ab2cmiller]

Rutherford beat him to the last CB spot

You may be correct. Williams was scheduled to visit for the Stanford game, but ended up canceling. If you didn't know any better, you would think Rutherford was a commit from looking at his twitter account. Rutherford may have already committed on his visit or shortly thereafter. Hopefully we will get good news from Rutherford soon.

[dublinirish]

tore his ACL in practice @ USC this week
