ND RECRUITER: Alford

Says he loves Notre Dame and if he doesnt go to Miami he will be Irish. Plants to be at camp. Will flyout Sunday and stay for the camp. Florida St and Florida are also players.

I'll ask Gene about this guy tommorrow.

He is gonna be here 4 days! 4 muthafuddin days.

Great News!

For some reason, I think we end up with him. JMO.

UPDATE!

I asked Gene about this kid tonight, and apparently he wasn't too impressed by him. FSU has offered, but isn't trying too hard to get him. I haven't seen him play, so I can't make assessments yet.

I read somewhere that he takes plays off. If he puts in the effort he is a beast.

I just watched his highlights on rivals and he looks
really good to me. I don't know a lot about dline
play but he looks really quick off the ball. I think
if we got him it would be really huge.

Go Irish

Was at ND for 3 Days. Will be a tough get out of FL.

Already has a thread Polish. quick link on my updated list

Hey ISD is reporting some apparently good news on Nix, anyone got the word

We moved up with him, but still slightly behind Miami. We're also against FL and LSU. He really likes ND though, and he will take an OV.

Miami's first 4 games are vs. FSU, GT, at VT, and FL. If they go 1-3 or 0-4 in those games (could happen), and ND starts off 4-0 (also could happen), we'd be in great shape here IMO...

Miami verbal? Source?

Yeah. The college football world

CaneSports.com 11/27/08

He's been considered a soft verbal for quite some times as he has stated he wanted to take visits. He's been to UF, FSU, and ND since verballing to UM.

Yes, but the thread was recently title-changed from (Miami Soft Verbal) to (Miami Verbal). Why?

To me that suggests Nix is officially solid with Miami. Also, I thought they had yet to even offer?

Don't know. Some people don't believe in using the word "Soft". You're either committed or your not.

Regardless Nix, the one who matters, still says he's committed to Miami but he continues to look around.



Why do you think that?

Do you have a cite for him not being offered yet?

I listed the cite in my previous post. His verbal is 7 months old.

Nix (Miami Soft Verbal)
 

Thank you mods.

The thread title battle continues.....

is that like soft porn or semi-chub?

???

simply a joke referring to the "soft" part of Nix verbal. wabash and neutered appreciated it, sorry you didn't. it's slow out there what can i say.

right

Per ESPN's J.C. Shurburtt

Tapley. Nix looking around?

FSU's got some mo goin'.

Surprisingly, will visit ND on Sept 19 vs. MSU. Still has Miami one, ND 2 though, with new interest in Michigan...

Thanks for the update NDinLA. I get a good feeling about this kid. Hopefully a big season could sway him our way.

Jesus... this kid is more on and off than a light switch at a whore house.

The kid is checking to make certain of his verbal. He stated that months ago and claims Miami is O.K. with that. He camped at Miami, UF, and FSU.

He slid a bit in the last recruiting service rankings dropping from #9 to #12 on Rivals list of DTs.


Profile Upgraded

Did Nix make his OV this weekend? Any updates?

Wait till tomorrow. The game just ended, let him enjoy the game

got this from another site...

I don't know dudes. Miami is picking it up in the ACC and people (at least in Tallahassee) are taking notice. BTW, I finaly found another Irish fan at my bar! Hooray for the Irish! Hooray for beer!

Per rivals. had a great visit and the staff feels they made a big impression. NotreDame likes theirchances but with Miami having such a good year so far it could be tough

Yup, Lo Wood talked to him already and he told Lo that the trip was going great...

I think a good season turns him but thats just a feeling i get

I can't even imagine Nix, Powell, and Martin.....if we got those 3 and ND goes 3-9 this year I would still say keep weis

Must have been a good visit...ESPN quote:

Irish make strong push for Hurricanes commit Louis Nix
Under Armour All-American defensive tackle Louis Nix (Jacksonville, Fla./Raines) has Notre Dame on top with his current commitment school, Miami-FL, after an official visit to South Bend, Ind., ESPN affiliate Web site IrishSportsDaily.com reports.


....saying it would be a difficult decision but still won't announce until signing day

Good to hear. It sure didn't hurt.

Like Weis says, He's a big muchacho. I'm glad he had a really good visit. Hope ND can land him. Go Irish!

I gots family an' friends in Jacksonville. You want I should make a couple calls or tree an' see what I can do ta "convince" da lad?

I think you're kidding, but I wouldn't have people contact him.

Hope we get him cause we need the push up front

Good news with him. He's really torn between ND and Miami. He's going on his OV to Miami vs. OK today, to compare how compare how he was treated and how the feel is at ND vs. Miami. And then, Tom Lemming is reporting that Nix could very possibly be headed back to ND for the USC game on his own dime, for one more look at ND, possibly to commit. Confirmed by Steve Wiltfong, who was told by his sources to keep it on the downlow. We simply HAVE TO WIN TODAY and show up strong vs. SC. The future of the program is riding on these next 2 games guys...

The South Bend Tribune also reported he may take an unofficial visit against USC on the 17th, just a few weeks after being here already. Sounds good.

ISD says Nix is set to visit again. Premium article

Workin' on his Frequent Flyer Miles
 

This kid is really doing his homework.

Yeah, he's coming on his own dime, by himself this time. Says he isn't sure why exactly but he just feels like he needs to come again. Says making a decision is going to be very, very difficult...

This can only begood for us. Hope he has a great time and we put a show on for him.
