Which Williams is that for the UM game? Ian or Michael? I assumed it was Michael but I heard Ian was taking an official here as well.

 

[scooper]

It's Michael.

There have been some conflicting reports on Duval Kumara's visit date. It is either PSU or scUM.

Michael is now shown.

The Michigan game is crucial. I think after we kill them for the 3rd straight year Michael will be Irish along with Benn.

 

[BGIF]

OL Chris Little will visit ND 9/9 for the PSU game.

 

[irishfox]

Benn will be at the Penn St. game

Benn will be at the Penn St. game

Do you have a cite for the PSU game?

His Scout profile still shows the UM game and agrees with the 7/18 article, [FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Benn changes timetable

WR Arrelious Benn 6-2, 210 stated last week that he was going to announce his decision on 9/8, his birthday, and that he was 70-percent sure that it would be ND. Now things have changed. "I'm going to wait and take my time some more. I need to take my official visits before I decide. I don't want to rush into anything. If it's going to be ND, I need to make sure that's the right place. I think by taking my officials I can make a better decision." Benn, ranked as the No. 19 player in the country, will visit three schools. "I'm going to Notre Dame, Illinois and FSU. ND is still No. 1, ILL is No. 2 and FSU is No. 3. UMD is still in there as well. I don't need to take an official there though. I've been there a lot." Benn isn't sure of the dates, but he would like to see ND play UM 9/16.

I believe there was mention of him coming for the PSU game back around 8/10 but I never saw any confirmation nor updates from the services. Has there been any?

I thought Hughes is also coming with Martez to the ND Banquet on 12/1?

Could be.

Joe Bradshaw in a Week in Review article noted, "... Hughes plans to visit ND unofficially for a game and then take his official visit on 1 December. ... "

However Scout also shows Hughes with a visit to OSU on 12/1/06.

I'll be happy to change it if anybody can confirm it.

That was the quote I remember reading. Maybe it is no longer accurate. I was hoping both Tez and Hughes would give there verbal at the Banquet.

Scout is still showing Hughes at OSU on 12/1 but they show Martez at ND on 12/1 and at OSU on 12/8. If they're both going to make a OSU in Dec why not both go on the 8th?

 

[BGIF]

Well according to a Kurelic article that I have not read, Hughes only has one official set, OSU 12/8

I posted the message below in Hughes Recruiting Profile but add it here as it's germaine to the ND Visit Schedule.


Hughes May Change OSU Visit

Hubbard running back Robert Hughes has just one official visit scheduled, a December trip to Ohio State.
However Hughes says he is considering making a change.
What does Hughes have in mind in terms of visiting the Buckeyes?
Who else is he thinking about in terms of his official visits?
And who are Hughes' favorite schools? </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

Enquiring minds want to know! OK, cheap enquiring minds want to know?

Will Hughes attend an ND game as an Official?
Will Hughes attend the ND Banquet instead as an Official?
(As he lives close the travel expenses aren't really an issue. He could pay his own way to see a game as an unofficial visit)
Is Miami a player now that Tez has an offer there?

 

[BGIF]

BGI's touting Malcolm Smith as visitor for the UM game. I don't think it's set though.
