Following visits to A&M and FSU. I'll temper my expectations here, but dear Lord what a recruiting coup this would be.

 

[longliveautrydenson]

Holy shytballs boys, the dream scenario of Betiku, Kareem, Hayes and McCulloch is still alive! Let's throw the kitchen sink at this kid.

My guess is you'll hear about his visits to FSU and Texas A&M, UCLA will probably still be in the race, PSU and ND trying to make things happen.

With an SEC team like Florida jumping in now.

Florida, Florida State, Notre Dame, Penn State and Texas A&M-aggies sounding like they have a slight edge

bolded are the perceived leaders at this point

Hot damn, I'm good.

Man I would love to get this guy. Honestly He would come in and be the best DE we have from day one. I would almost promise him a starting spot right away, maybe that is too much. Can you imagine landing him, Hayes, kareem, and Mcculoch from texas? OMG. I think we get two of those guys though. FSU isn't really impressive to me if you ask me, plus it is a lot farther from home for him. I wonder who his leader may be? Maybe he is wide open.

 

[PANDFAN]

pretty awesome that we visited him thursday and he decommit friday...NOT SAYING it had anything to do with it...but potentially we were able to get him thinking

 

[Ndaccountant]

Hot damn, I'm good.

 

[PANDFAN]

he is also FRESH off the texas a & m visit---they appear to have a slight edge to fsu...fsu paired him up w/ a nigerian player on his visit and he really enjoyed his time there w/ coaches

LOL. Seriously? That's your selling point? It's a two day drive instead of a two and a half day drive?

 

[Irish#1]

You know what they say about a blind squirrel! lol

There has to be something to him de-committing after the visit, but I will temper my enthusiasm until I hear some additional positive news.

Were those guys watching the end of he scUM game last Saturday?

Let's not get too excited here. Apparently didn't even list ND in a tweet he put out last night lol

EDIT: The above is 2nd hand, so I cannot confirm veractiy

I just checked his twitter on my phone and don't see what tweet you're talking about.

But he did tweet a bunch of shamrocks followed by hour glasses. Which I found interesting. I'm at work and can't access twitter, but hopefully someone posts it.

Five-star Betiku reopens recruitment

Notre Dame will get an official visit from defensive end Oluwole Betiku next month. When the five-star hits South Bend he’ll likely be on the open market after de-committing from UCLA on Friday morning.

Five-star defensive end Oluwole Betiku de-committed from UCLA on Friday.
That means when the elite pass rusher from Gardena, Calif., takes his next official visit, a trip to Notre Dame on Nov. 14, that he’ll do it as a recruiting free agent.
The Irish are among a handful of programs that Betiku will consider moving forward. Florida, Florida State, Texas A&M and USC are also in the mix for the standout from Serra High School.
Betiku wants to play in a 4-3 defensive front that allows its edge defenders to get after the passer. UCLA employs a 3-4 scheme.
The change of plans for Betiku is actually a course correction after Betiku went on record this summer that he’d take his official visits before making a decision. While UCLA was the presumed leader back at The Opening, the timing of the commitment to the Bruins was a surprise.
Betiku took official visits to Florida State and Texas A&M in October and was originally set to see Notre Dame last weekend for the USC game. Instead, he opted to see the Aggies take on Alabama in College Station.
Notre Dame associate head coach Mike Denbrock visited Betiku on Thursday at his school, and the Irish hosted Betiku’s teammate, four-star safety Brandon Burton, on an official visit last weekend.

Yeah, I saw that shamrock tweet after the fact. Very interesting - wonder what the significance of the hour glasses is, if anything lol.

That 2nd tweet is Julian Okwara tweeting at Wole, no?

 

[Cackalacky]

 

[goldandblue]

He has a visit planned for Wake correct? maybe the hour glass represents the time in between now and his visit?

Hmmm, could be.

Please god.

guessing because he has it scheduled
yes when he de-committed from ucla-julian then tweeted him

 

[greyhammer90]

Or he could be counting down the minutes till the shamrock shake returns.

I'll believe it when I see it. He visited A&M over us and then decommitted from UCLA. That's not a good sign IMO, more of a neutral sign.

 

[ThePiombino]

I don't really get the A&M thing. I assume they're selling him on being the next Myles Garrett.

 

[irishff1014]

Not getting my hopes up but this would be a crazy class with him,Kk,hayes.

 

[mhunter123]

Sounds like Denbrock hit it out of the park with his visit yesterday. Also wonder if Brandon Burton has put in a good word based on his visit.
