"I am extremely happy about that offer, knowing I have a chance to go right in and play at Notre Dame," said Matthews. "That's a traditional school. Most important, the degree I could get from Notre Dame can set me up for life and create many different opportunities for me."
"Notre Dame has had my atteniton for quite a while now and grabbed it a tad bit more when one of my best friends, Kevin Stepherson, committed to them," said Matthews. "I'm looking foward to getting up to Notre Dame before the year is over and they are definitely in my top four along with Florida State, North Carolina and UCLA."

Committed with a top 4. Sweet!

Committed with a top 4. Sweet!

The meaning of the word committed has changed quite a bit. The way I see it, is that kids like a certain school and commit just so they have a spot in the class. They, then, keep looking at other places, to maybe finally find the right spot or not... It's pretty annoying for fans, but it is the way it goes now. I think the staff does a good job of recruiting until the paper is signed and received.

We need to keep the pressure on this kid. Already playing at a high level with tremendous upsiade. Can't hurt that he goes to Trinity Christian Academy. WAAAAANT!

 

[GoIrish41]

I'd be OK with him and Osiris St. Brown.

 

[rtrn2glory]

Idk about him coming in and playing right away?

We got some serious depth at WR and this dude is a junior in HS

This is true!

Shhhhh. We don't want him to know that.

He might be right. Fuller, Brown, Hunter, Robinson, Carlisle will all be gone. Don't know what's up with Brent and it looks like Holmes isn't going to pan out.

CJ Sanders should be amazing in the slot and St. Brown is clearly a talent. BK has been praising Boykin o f late. There is some real talent here.
