Nick Watkins did an interview with Rivals where he talked a little ND and recruiting. Really likes Coach Cooks, they have a great relationship. As of now we are his only official but he plans on taking all five. Texas DC leaving doesn't have any impact on his recruitment because his relationship with their DB coach is really good. Has eleven offers he is strongly considering and didn't give in to who the last four officials are but did say that the five officials he schedules will be his top 5. So safe to say we are in his top 5.

Would be HUGE if he and Payton ended their recruitments after next weekends visit.

has a great relationship w/ cooks, BK is a players coach and will do anything for his players...hung out before w/ the Irish db's/wr's and said they are really a great group and funny...really easy to make friends there....distance isn't a factor..his family can watch him on NBC or tv every week

after season will schedule other officials...will be at ou/tex game this weekend

will be only coming up w/ peyton for his official at ND-NO FAMILY

good call Kuehnja-he mentioned the business school being #1, implying it's important to him, also was really impressed w/ our strength and conditioning coachi kid i kid

I don't follow it closely enough, but what would you guys say is our percentage on landing prospects who go on ISD Power Hour uncommitted?

I have to believe it is fairly high.

Well, they had Keivarae on (although he was just a high 4:s:) when he was very wide open.

Prospects I remember listening to include Baratti, Onwualu (I think), Russell, Tranquill, Robinson... who else has been on that I'm forgetting? Corey Holmes? Hood?

You're only going to go on a ND radio show if you have legit interest. But I don't think that means slam dunk. I really hope he commits on the USC visit. He's a must get right now.

Mentions a girlfriend on PH. Don't want.

I only want players with fake girlfriends. They're consensus All-Americans and Heisman finalists 100% of the time.

Wouldn't rule out a committment but not counting on it. We ultimately win out here but he seems set on taking his five officials. Have his top spot and have won his father over as well which is very important.

“It was amazing. The game atmosphere, the tailgating, everything,” Watkins said. “It really surpassed my expectations.”
torri is who he is referring to
“He was telling me that they’ll take care of you at Notre Dame. It’s a great school, and everyone has your back.”
Are he and teammate Payton Hendrix, a three-star safety, a package deal?

umm,” Watkins said, followed by a small laugh, “we might be.”

I'll take an order of Hendrix & Watkins please.
