Top247 DE Oluwole Betiku says the two official visits he knows of for sure are Florida State and Notre Dame.

Maybe DE recruiting isn't as bad as we originally thought

I think OP needs updated with new rankings if this kid is 5:s:

Hotels.com is a website. It can be found on the internet.

Statements similar in nature. Rather obvious.

You'll allow it?

Notre Dame has fully emerged as a dark horse candidate to land 5-star DE Oluwole Betiku ($) Notre Dame Fighting Irish Football, Basketball, and Recruiting Front Page

0:31 PM Jul 8th via Twitter for iPhone

Interest is high and he will "for sure" OV to ND. He will make his own decision, kind of brushes off Arrington's comments about PSU because he is his own person and needs to decide for himself. Sampson, Brown, TJ and Anna have all made comments that this interest is real.

Will somebody embed the tweet from Andrew Ivins with Wole. They're calling it the quote of the day. Pretty awesome stuff

Embedded Tweets frequently fail to load for me, so here's the quote for others who have be experiencing the same problem:

Assuming this is his observation (and not simply a repeat of something our coaches have said to him), that's a great sign. But his "white collar" comment makes me a little nervous. Depending on his background (of which I know absolutely nothing), rival coaches can use that against us.

So I guess he's not going to Cal then hahaha

Kid is a freak and probably our best shot at a highly rated DE this cycle.

"I want to see how beautiful the school is," said the class of 2016 target of Notre Dame. "I’ve looked at it online and I want to see it in person. I also want to spend time with the coaches and check out the facilities. They have great tradition. Notre Dame is a great school."
"We talk a lot. We talk on Twitter, I call him once in a while," said Betiku of Denbrock. "He goes really into detail about what the Irish is about and I like it. He’s a lot different than the other coaches, in terms of what talking about their own school and talking about what Notre Dame is all about."

per 247

also wiltfong said-Betiku is an ND type kid too so we'll see what happens.

That's a lot of very good information for us. He's looking up the campus online. He calls our coaches. He talks with them a lot. Denbrock is setting himself apart. He's buying into the degree value.

...So he'll probably end up attending Arizona State or something similar.

I'm really nervous about our recruiting strategy this year. This seems like another time that we're putting a lot of eggs in the "we're going to have a great year that will generate a bunch of interest from California kids so we're going to recruit them heavily" homerun or bust basket.

I hear you and I kind of feel the same. Im secretly thinking we're gonna have a great ten plus wins season. We are loaded with talent this year and of course it can always go either way as we all know, but this team has the personnel in place right now to be truly special! Let's just hope we can rise to the occasion in tough games and not let success let us down in others. This year has the potential to be the most exciting in years!

"Just take your reps damn it, just take them."

I saw the centienniel v serra game - he definitely stood out and was very consistent. Even during the pre-game, physically he stood out on the field. he looked different compared to the other players on the field. I know 'how players look' isnt necessarily a deciding a factor. But before the game I knew nothing of this kid, and I had mentioned to the person I was at the game with, "that kid looks like a man amongst boys" and sure enough during the game he played that way. this kid is a stud player.

I hate to compare to other players, but he looked like what I think a football player looks like; I had the same thought when I first saw Prince Shembo - dude just looks like a football player, and his play backed it up.
