'16 CA DE Oluwole Betiku (USC Verbal)

FWIW most ND football players only officially "live on campus", but they'll also sometimes live together in an off campus apartment unofficially.

This exactly. Every football player on the team gets a dorm on campus all four years. Most of them end up empty though (or their lucky roommates get singles). Some freshman football players are already moving off campus next semester.

I believe lax also said more stories will come out about his recruitment down the road.

I believe it. Isn't Lavarr Arrington no longer his guardian?

Tyler James Twitter:

Betiku reached out to say he didn't tell Eichenberg that. His explanation: "I told him it was more about the having to be in the dorms for 3 years. I'm a Nigerian I have culture clashes with Americans and I want to have my personal space at least by my sophomore year."

Lmao cultural clashes someone brainwashed this kid.

I had forgotten this guy even existed. Same as many in this thread, I'm 0% surprised to see him be a bust.

Hopefully his new school respects his "personal space" and doesn't have too many Americans.

USC is where 5* talent goes to die.

 

[NDVirginia19]

Too many Americans at USC I suppose.

 

[dublinirish]

going by his twitter feed the kid seems to have some interesting hobbies. an avid painter/artist by the looks of it

He enrolled early so I wonder if he graduated in December of 2018 (6 semesters) or if he’s finishing up in the spring of 2019 (7 semesters). Either way, he’s graduating early which is impressive. Also, he injured his shoulder freshman year and had surgery on both hips this past offseason which is one of the most brutal rehabs and recoveries you can sign up for. I think if he goes to a lower power 5 school he could surprise some people with his athletic ability off the edge as a pass rusher. He was super interested in FSU, Notre Dame, Texas A&M, UCLA, and USC as a high school senior as an FYI.

I remember Eichenberg made a pitch to the kid to choose ND. He responded to Liam that it’s too cold.

Transferring to the U of I. ILL?

 

[BobbyMac]

Either Larry Ellison & Jack Welch have opened up their checkbooks or Ron Popeil is dumping millions of Pocket-Fisherman bucks into Lovie's slush fund.

Or no one else wants him...

 

[KizerWilhelm]

Rumor has it USC's Trevon Sidney might announce he's transferring to Illinois today as well

Martez Wilson and Arrellious Benn suspect something fishy is going on...
