Won't post the questions, but you can put it together based on the answers. Direct quotes from Rivals:
"The atmosphere there. I did kind of come home and ponder the decision and let it kind of sit and rest on my mind. After a while it kind of felt like that's where I was headed. I went along with it and haven't really regretted it yet."
"Naturally following any visit you're kind of hyped up on that school and I think that's a lot of what it was. It set it apart and leaving it felt like there was something more than just the hype about it. I held on to it and thought about it and I kept thinking about it and after a while it felt like the place for me and the place I could grow as a person even outside of football. I just went ahead and made that decision."
"Me and Coach Cooks had kind of the same basic relationship you would have with a recruiter, but he did sit me down in his office and we were talking and not even trying to get me to go to Notre Dame, but just from the standpoint of any recruit looking for a school he gave really good advice.
"He basically said that in picking a school, he said, 'I want you to pick a school that you couldn't necessarily get to without football. Use football to take you somewhere that you couldn't go without it. Parlay a talent into something you can truly benefit from.' He said no matter where you go, at the end of the day, they're going to use you for their team to get wins, so he said you want to use them to get all that you can back in return. That played to Notre Dame's advantage, being a top academic school and that's what hit home with me.'"
"I don't know what he tells any of the other recruits. As far as leaving Texas, I set out to leave Texas to be honest. There wasn't a big selling point for me to get out of this. It was kind of me looking to leave the state and get far. The fact they were far north up in Indiana helped with the decision. I wasn't looking to stay in Texas, so it wasn't that big of a deal."
"Growing up in Texas, you get that atmosphere. Not necessarily all of Texas, but making it all the way to a state championship in Texas and playing a high level of football in 6A, it's definitely going to bring the atmosphere. Most growing up haven't played in front of 56,000 fans before. That's not to say we won't be playing in front of 80,000 every week and I'm going to be completely comfortable with that.
"You just kind of have the exposure to that big game type of atmosphere. That's actually an advantage in how I deal with it if I can prove I'm prepared for it. As far as that goes, just playing football in Texas at such a high level should help any kid. College is a big experience, so if you can somewhat simulate it before you get here, it will help you in the long run."
"I've been pretty cool with [former Irish commit and recent North Carolina verbal] Prentice [McKinney] the entire time. He was committed to Notre Dame up until recently. I'm still cool with him. CJ [Sanders], I got pretty cool with him on my official. Jerry Tillery's already up there, he's a pretty funny dude. Tristen Hoge, my parents are pretty cool with his parents."
"Not to say anything bad, but I could care less about the rankings. The only reason I know what star I was is because my parents were into that stuff at one point. I haven't been checking."
