whether the offer is commitable or not, it's gonna be tough to pull him from urban and ann arbor. we've struggled up in that neck of the woods lately with Dan Fox the only one i can think of on the current and recent roster as of late...idk if i'd consider mahone the same territory since he's from youngstown

feel free to debate and change my mind

Maybe, but what a better way to set the bar than the scUM game. He had to see the closeness and bond between the players and students with the tribute to Manti. That's one thing he'll never see at OSO or UM.

I was being sarcastic but will no longer use that sarcasm font that is so often used (for reasons that will not be discussed).

Jimmy did say that ND set the bar this past weekend, so that makes me think we have at the very least, a mild lead.

I'm from the Cleveland suburbs and have tons of friends that went to Ignatius (I was accepted, chose to go the public school route. They didn't have the advanced courses I wanted). It is pretty much OSU country up there. I laugh every time people call UM Walmart Wolverines because it is the exact same as OSU fans in NE Ohio. Youngstown is not the same as Cleveland at all though. Just my :twocents:.

On Irish eyes they have an article that seems to state that Jimmy is down to Ohio State and ND.

Pretty sure he will be at the OSU/Michigan game today.

He was. Very impressed. Rivals article says it will be between ND and tOSU. In the end, it will come down to the coaching staff and who he is comfortable with.

edit: IMO ND

Wiltfong thinks we lead but it is very tight with OSU. Trying to set up a visit for bowl practice.

Yup OSU fans on Rivals think ND leads even after his OSU visit. Would be a real nice way to start the OL class with a St Ignatius kid with a OSU offer.

Elevenwarriors interview with him sometime after his visit. Fairly obvious that we lead based upon his comments.
Catching Up With Jimmy Byrne: The Game Visit | Eleven Warriors

How was the overall experience for your first Ohio State game?

I had a lot of fun and it was a great game to attend. Ohio State played a great game and I was focused on watching how they use their offensive line. It was cool to see the scene afterwards, and hearing the emotional speeches from some of the players in the locker room.

Did you get any time with the Ohio State coaches?

I got to meet all of the coaches which is something I did not expect because I was sent a message earlier in the week saying how individual attention would be tough to come by. All the recruits there were going to make it tough for them to manage their time and the coaches were focused on this game. I was able to get time to speak with Coach Warinner and Meyer. Coach Warinner let me know that he would be at my school in a couple weeks.

Were you able to spend any time with other Ohio State recruits at the game?

My teammate Kyle Berger was there and he had just gotten an Ohio State offer. My decision will be an individual one so we aren't a package deal or anything like that. I also hung out with Marcelys Jones.

Would you say that Ohio State was able to make up any ground on Notre Dame after this visit?

It is tough to say. I enjoyed the visit but I've grown up around the Ohio State and Michigan game, being from Ohio. For that reason I feel like I am unlike some recruits because the atmosphere and rivalry won't affect me like it would others as I knew what to expect.

Is Notre Dame going to be tough to beat for your commitment?

Notre Dame has made quite an impression on me so it is tough to live up to that. I'm still considering both Ohio State and Notre Dame though. Both places would be great for me.

What will your college choice ultimately come down to?

It's going to come down to my relationships and comfort with my position coach. Coach Heistand of Notre Dame and I have really developed quite a relationship so that is why Notre Dame is high up on my list. It was great to see and talk to Coach Warinner at Ohio State this past weekend though.

Do you have any other visits that you intend on making?

I intend on making it to Notre Dame for a bowl practice at some point. I also plan on possibly visiting Ohio State sometime in January.

When do you hope to make your college decision final?

I hope to have a decision made sometime in February.

Goes without saying, but this kid would be a huge grab. Come one Heistand and Kelly, tighten the grip around Urbie and Ohio.

Also, it wouldn't be terrible to establish a foothold at St. Ignatius, Dan Fox and Robby Parris's alma mater. Prennial football powerhouse.

Also where I go to school, but I have yet to receive an offer, so I didn't include myself up there.

Getting him in for a bowl practice will be great. Especially hopes he comes on a Monday for trick shot!!!! That seems like something so many kids can get Ito and will show not just the winning tradition but the fact that they are still kid and allowed to have fun.
