Nick Watkins: "I can play zone, I can play man, I can play press coverage -- I can do anything you ask me to do." Few prospects in the 2014 class have seen their recruiting stock surge more in the past month than Dallas Bishop Dunne cornerback Nick Watkins.

I bet he'll be even more amazed if that Texas offer comes in.

 

[NDhoosier]

He probably wont be leaving the state... Texas will wrap him up sooner rather than later.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Per his HS coach, wants to visit ND and Michigan. Texas is ALL over him but many believe Bama is the favorite. TAMU can't be counted out either. Has a lot of family in Detroit.

Is in pretty steady contact with Cooks. Really likes the tradition and the fact that ND is on TV in a sold out stadium every week. Also mentioned really liking the helmets. Education will always be his number one thing, needs to go somewhere with a good education that graduates players for his after football life. Wants a family atmosphere and a feeling of community around the campus and program. At this point ND will make his list and be in the mix when he decides to narrow it down and will visit if it works out financially for his family. If no unofficial, he will take an official to ND.

Have to love that.

[Ironman8]

[Rack Em]

I'm sure that's it. It appears to be per Rack Em.

 

[TheChosen1]

#13 CB on rivals

 

[GBdomer]

Per Rivals?

Yes, my bad per Jake Brown coach will also be in for the coaches clinic and he is bringing Nick along.

 

[Luckylucci]

After Jake posted this TJ made a point to say that we like Nick a lot at CB. Really hope he has a great visit.

 

[STLDomer]

Not only is his coach going to the clinic, he is a guest speaker at it on Friday

You better believe it

He should have arrived tonight

UND.COM - University of Notre Dame Official Athletic Site - Football

Guest Speaker: Michael Johnson, Head Coach
Bishop Dunne High School - Dallas, TX
Purcell Pavilion
Guest Speaker: Tony Perry, Defensive Back Coach
Fresno Central High School - Fresno, CA
Monogram Room

him and Michiah's coach tommorow morning

 

[Rack Em]

Oh I thought you meant Nick is a guest speaker. I withdraw my previous post.

 

[dublinirish]

was Tony Perry Tee Shephard's HS coach?

 

[texbender]

would be a great addition for ND, but gotta think this will be an uphill battle to wrestle him from Horns or Aggies.
