I just started following Mike. Is he typically wrong about things or are his opinions way out there? just trying follow a few who have fresh and reliable info.

I wouldn't say he is typically wrong, but he is wrong often enough that you should take what he says with a grain of salt.

Importantly, if Farrell is saying one thing, and everyone else is saying something else, do NOT put any stock in what Farrell is saying, because it is probably nonsense. I read Farrell's stuff but I always look for a corroborating source before I believe anything he is saying.

Asked about the possibility of committing to a school he hadn't visited. He doesn't give a name but said a school could have one of his best friends there being successful and telling him how great it would fit him. Says that is an explanation how he could commit. Obviously referring to Shumate.

Also said he could take more visits to get a better idea but right now he feels confident in knowing where he's going. Is leaning toward announcing at AA game but might delay that if he feels like he needs to.

Sorry, at work. Thought I'd post it first. He says that he is "pretty confident" he already knows where he wants to go to school. When asked if he could commit to a school without visiting and he replied "Definitely". He went on to say that at one of the schools he has a friend that he talks to a lot about the school. So he has a good understanding of what to expect. Family will play a part in his decision, distance, etc. Enjoyed Miami visit. Liked seeing the academic side of things and believes that Golden has them moving in the right direction. He does worry about the sanctions. Can't be 100% sure that nothing bad is going to happen and that all college players want to play in bowl games. There is no mention of OSU or Alabama which goes to the thought that this is between Miami and ND.

Per TV, they feel ND is where he wants to be but he has to do some things to make that happen.

You're TV gives you recruiting news and all I get is infomercials and old Maude re-runs. No justice in this world.

Ahhh-hum..... Make it happen AQM!!!

You're better than that!

I think Muhammad is the best DE/OLB left on our board, but I wouldn't be upset with Prevot or Hollins if we can flip them.

Does anyone actually know what is holding up AQM? Thought there were Bosco guys on IE that might have some insight. Either way, would love to flip two SC commits.

True. Had high hopes for landing him. Saw him play a few times this year. Kid will be big time once he gets into a college weight room.

Generally, when a recruit "still has work to do" before they can commit, it either means: (1) he's missing some required coursework (often a foreign language class); or (2) he needs to pull up his GPA. (1) is bad, but (2) is worse.

From what I've gathered, (1) is much more likely than (2) in this case. So take some solace in that fact, but ND's chances of closing typically plummet whenever a transcript issue arises, no matter how small.

Confused as to what the issue might be here. Wiltfong said that that AQM "has work to do" if he wants to go to ND, and he hinted that we will know by January whether AQM can get in or not (which will put us in a position know whether we need to go after Hollins or Prevot).

Based on that timeline and on Whiskey's framework, I guess that we are waiting to see whether AQM passes a necessary fall semester class, or whether his fall semester grades boost his GPA to the required level? Or I suppose it could be something else altogether ... maybe test scores? Don't really get it but I hope he straightens it out, whatever the issue is.
