Recruiting as if they aren't going to be here next year? Where do people come up with this crap. Perception is not reality. This staff is working as hard on recruiting as they always have. Did they not pull Crawford away from Michigan? Did they not pull Barajas away from PSU?

Is Crawford Bilal? Is Barajas? Different recruitments, so not sure what you're point is. If you're suggesting the staff is trying just as hard on every single recruit then I fear your not paying attention.

Not sure what you're point is. If you are saying staff isn't recruiting as hard as they have in past you're clueless.

My original post wasn't even directed at him. It was at the poster who suggested staff wasn't working as hard on recruiting because they knew they weren't going to be here next year. Which is total BS.

From his game last weekend:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>At half, Ben Davis up on Cathedral 30-10. Asmar Bilal in double digits in tackles to go with his sack. Very impressive LB w/ good instincts</p>— Kyle Bogenschutz (@KyleBogie) <a href="https://twitter.com/KyleBogie/statuses/502974618970632193">August 23, 2014</a></blockquote>
<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>


Also there is a Scout video interview after the game. ND and Michigan top 2. He may or may not take an OV, he is waiting for when his gut feeling is right for a school. Says no leader.

Anna has also commented a couple of times about Bilal's hesitation may be the rigors and spotlight that comes with an ND football player because he is so laid back and quiet.

you hear about alot of kids going to Stanford for this reason. There's no rabid fanbase around the program prying on every move the players make like other universities. Barry Sanders Junior's commitment to the Trees is a good example of this. Some kids don't want the hassle they just wanna be students and play football.

Lol he's choosing between the two winningest programs of all time. There's gonna be a spotlight at either place

That would be exactly why it would be good for him!

Exactly.

He better want the mic in his face unless his football goals are to be an NFL special teamer.
If that's the case, go to Wake Forest and fly under the radar.

On the other hand... his other choice: (won't type it) isn't exactly flying under the radar, about as national as you can get, complete with lights, cameras and mics on you 24/7... a rung or two below ND of course. So that's not it either Big23Head.

Anna alluded that Bilal may be added to this weekend's visitors list. I do not know if this is her guessing the staff is trying to get him in town or if she knows they are working on it.

Also just watched his highlights on Scout from last weekend. Very rangy, had a good game, solid tackler and likes to hit. He was good in traffic that game too.

I'm afraid I'll love Notre Dame so much that i'm going to stay away and choose Michigan.

How do you NOT go see a game between the 2 teams that you are deciding between?

If this kid dislikes the limelight THAT much... he belongs at Wake Forest.

Something strange is a foot at the Circle K.

Seriously. How could you pass this up if you have any interest in football? Huge red flag how "disinterested" he seems to be in everything... but all of his other intangibles are reportedly A+ sooooooo...........

If you are seriously considering both teams, it may be the most awkward game to attend.

His only out is... I wanted to see each of them play at home against other teams as to not taint my selection process.

That wouldn't have been me... I went to every basketball game I could get into in high school while I was in the recruiting process if nothing else but for the love of the game.

Strange but maybe not the end of the world. But maybe it is...
