I don't know if he's on vacation or working on something or what but Sapp has not been active at all the last couple weeks (new offers and visits with no article after, decrease in board posts etc)

I've noticed the same. Sad since I decided to pull the trigger on the subscription there a month or so ago. Hopefully they pick it up again.

Yeah if it's still like this for the next couple weeks when all the visits are happening I'm switching to Rivals

Interview with his head coach.

Excited by Irish offer. Even though ND took longer to offer than others they are automatically high on his list. Wants to get out and see South Bend and possibly just as importantly so do his family. High character kid with good grades and a hard worker. A senior WR from his high school who took him under his wing is going to Harvard to play football.

That sounds positive.

If we get his family to visit, I'll go ahead and predict an Irish LOI for this young man. ND impresses families of all backgrounds, but I imagine a family who's used to the football-only atmosphere of the South will be blown away by how much of a 'home away from homw' ND is.

He's from New Jersey?

Honestly, I like our chances at getting at least one of these stud WR's everyone's predicting to go to LSU. Not even in the SEC does it make sense to take too many WRs in a single year, so hopefully at least one of these guys is getting less than the full-court press from LSU and we use that to scoop up at least one. LSU thinking they're in the lead only helps from that angle.

An article up on TigerBait has no mention of ND. LSU at the top of his list. Will be deciding before his senior season. Will be taking a trip to OSU in May or June and he wants that to be his last unofficial. He's alreday visited LSU, Georgia, GT, and Clemson.

The ESPN 150 recruit named LSU his leader following a visit to Baton Rouge in late March but backed off the statement shortly after. Now, the Bayou Bengals are joined by the Buckeyes at the top.

really excited to visit osu....and wants a georgia offer...said we/um would prob get a visit when he visits osu

We are visiting Saeed this week.

Wiltfong thinks he could be high on our board and we'll make a push for him.

Loy actually doubts Saeed ends up at LSU. Thinks OSU, FSU and ND are three schools likely to be in this till the end.

"Wouldn't say LSU are his favourite but they are very high on his list right now. Also mentions they are high on his list as he's visited there while he hasn't visited his other top schools yet, something which Tom Loy talked about the other day. Said his list could change with one visit, OSU is another school mentioned as a favourite.

Alford was by yesterday, told his coach that ND have a high interest in Saeed which he seems very impressed by. Wants to get out to ND in the summer when school is finished, has to wait to see what his mother is doing so it seems she will make the trip with him. Likes ND's blend of academics."

After what Luckylucci posted earlier on this page I was a bit worried Blacknall wasn't as interested in ND as I thought, but this is another promising piece and 247, Scout and ISD all seem to think ND could be a big player in his recruitment. I really hope so because he's one of my favourite prospect in this class.

I like how his name is Saeed and he looks a little like Mr. Echo.

Wiltfong is hearing that our visit to Saeed's school went well, and we should expect Saeed to visit ND this summer.

Just confirmed on Rivals as well that following the Alford visit he will now make a trip to ND over the summer.
