Cliffnotes:

-Detailed Michigan visit,
-Says when he sat down to think about all three places and what he wants in a school that Notre Dame is still the best fit.
-Said that basically he is still considering UNC but will almost surely go to ND, Mich, or OSU... and that while Mich and Ohio might have narrowed the lead ND had that he considers it narrowed "only because ND had such a big lead to begin with."

Dyn-o-mite.

Exactly! Sounds like this kid is grounded and thought things through. Not because ND is in the lead, because he clarified his selection, and provided light on the choice, and continued on the track he was headed in the absence of something to change his original thinking.

The fact that the gap narrowed, but he is continuing his own course is an indication that he has a level view, and a good thing IMO!

The fact this kid isn't going off of impulse is something that's a terrific sign of a well rounded person.
He's using logic instead of irrationality.

This kid is a must get, although Sony wouldn't be a bad consolation prize.

Something some of us posters could have exhibited a couple pages back after the reports of his Michigan visit! lol

-Detailed Michigan visit, talks about quotes maybe being a little misconstrued because reporters were calling and calling immediately after the visit while everything was quite fresh.

I've backed off the edge a bit...landing him early (along with the others already on board) would set a strong tone for the 2014 class.

I don't think I've ever seen a kid visit ND and be as "meh" about it as Hood is being.

Truly weird.

Not trying to be Mr. Negative, but what are the chances Hood built up ND in his head so much that when he got there it wasn't what he expected? That could explain his "meh" feelings.

It is weird though, because like you said, most kids love it even if they're not that interested. This brings me back to LAX's worry: What is UM doing that ND is not to "blow away" these recruits on their visits?

Relax guy, its March 8, 2013. If Hood is "meh" about ND on Feb 1, 2014, I would see legit reason for concern.

How "meh" can a kid be when he get's home and says we are still his leader?

Who's concerned? I don't need to relax. I was simply replying to a previous post for sake of conversation.

Not getting overly excited is a good thing in a running back. We want someone who is confident, cool, and calm under pressure, not someone that is so excited they can't hold onto the football when they get into the game. EH's comment could very well mean that Notre Dame was exactly as he expected it to be. There's a reason he named us his leader.

That ask website thing he is answering questions on is potentially the ultimate tool in creepy fan internet lurking.

The first thing he said he was looking at in a school was the people that would be around him.

I noticed that particular talent to laugh and disarm in his answers too. So I think he is forewarned and forearmed; he knows all college football fans are crazy!
