247 sayin that the only reason he didn't commit was because he wants to take the official to Bama with family. Should commit soon after that visit. Jake Brown at rivals echoing the same. Saying he would be surprised if Tyler makes his official to Wisconsin.

Greg Biggins of Scout talked to Luatua's coach.

- He loved the visit. The campus was incredible, he loved the coaching staff and facilities.

-The game atmosphere and and environment was incredible.

-Tyler loves Denbrock. His coach said that when Denbrock visits the school, he doesn't just meet with the coaches and Tyler. He meets with the teachers and principal as well. Tyler is very comfortable with him.

-They see him as a Tyler Eifert type player

-As far as a decision goes, it should be sooner rather than later after his Bama visit

ND's use of the "percy harvin" role? only half kidding.

This is smart IMO. Very good tactic with developing relations with a school.

its easy to get onside with teachers and the principal when you from ND though, I would say this is normal.

It may not be normal from the school's/coaches perspective, particularly those that have not had ND recruit them before or minimally in the past.

With all the talk of ND making new inroads in areas previously not recruited, this approach makes me happy. That way the school/coach/principal know ..."Hey when ND comes calling, this is what they offer and this is what is expected to get in..."

I freely admit I do not know of how Willingham or Weis recruited or where they recruited but it seems Kelly is attempting to get into areas previously blocked or untapped by previous coaches.

I also say this because if Kelly and Co. come into, for example: St. Mathews, Orangeburg, Marlboro County, Irmo, or any other large rural school in SC where top quality football is played, these students/teachers/etc. will very rarely be prepared to get into ND or academically perform well or even be aware of NDs academic qualities or be pulled away from State U. This type of relationship with the teachers/principals will be very helpful in changing that paradigm.

Now that the good news is being posted, it's almost time for the infamous post that burst our bubble.

Does anyone think that Bama gets wind of Tyler's affinity for ND and his plans to commit after the game and decides to not allow him to OV there? Seems they are just wasting their money.

If his brother didn't play there, maybe.

They may still feel like they can pull on his emotional strings with bro as well.

This. And I'm not so convinced they don't have a shot at pulling it off. Family is involved here, it's not a typical recruitment.

Heh, I think they fully expect to make a big impression and get him to change those plans. Plus the family connection. Can't imagine Bama would be turned off by a recruit having another school as the leader or being committed elsewhere.

We see you as the next Fasano, Carlson, Rudolph, Eifert, Niklas... That's how you sell the position. One Percy Harvin does not even come close to saying "The next great ND TE going to the NFL." I think the emotional side will be tugged on, but I am convinced he sees his options as being best donning the Golden Helmet

They wouldn't disrespect his family like that considering the brother is on the team. I highly doubt the cost of his OV is a big concern to them.

Adam Gorney from Rivals says Luatua will take Bama trip but he's all ND. Says Mama and JuJu loved their visit and are seriously considering joining Luatua in South Bend. Mama and Luatua are especially close.
