Hoped to get his test scores today, didn't happen, so he isn't visiting. I'm sure he'll make it up here unless we tell him no.

I hope i am wrong with this but the more his recruitment goes on the more i think he is going to eventually commit to another school. I can imagine this process is starting to frustrate him, and once that happens some people tend to start finding negatives in things they thought they loved. Like i said i hope i am wrong but i can honestly see it playing out that way

Why? If he can't OV to ND because test results aren't back then he can't OV anywhere. This isn't an ND specific issue right now.

I'm not talking about his test scores. I just think the longer this takes its possible he becomes more bitter towards the situation. Thats all i meant by the above statement

Bitter towards what situation though? He can't OV to any school right now. The only person he has to blame or be bitter with for that is himself for not taking a test earlier. If the information is true that his grades are in order and the test score is holding everything up, he is in the same situation for every single school recruiting him.

The only negative I see here is if his test scores come back and they aren't good enough for ND whether he is willing to take it again this late in the process or go some place else. But like Ironman said this isn't on ND.

All im saying is kids can get bitter even if they know a situation is their fault. Think about when you guys were 18, you were never at fault

I can't see that in this situation though. How many of us were being recruited to play high level D1 football? This kid has a coach that understands the process. His school understands the process. His friends understand the process. Too many people would have to have completely failed for him to blame anybody but himself at this point for not scheduling a test on a Saturday morning. If he had other things more important at the time then that was all on him. That said I hope he is Irish the very second those scores come back.

He understands that if he wants to be Irish he has to do the things needed to be Irish. He has taken the steps to this point, and all he needs to do is stay motivated. There are a lot of things (as we know) that can happen from a verbal to NSD (and beyond). As long as he stays the course ND has laid out for him he has it in his hands. Whether that happens remains to be seen, but a day by day approach is working

I get what your saying, but if he really wants to be at ND like he says he does, then he shouldn't let this discourage him until all avenues are exhausted.
