How so? I know Shugarts recruitment was kind of a wild ride(though some of it had a lot more to do with internet rumors than anything on Shugarts part), but was it anything different than Clausen's recruitment?

Either way, I really hope you guys get Patchan. I'd love to see you stick it to Miami in recruiting.

2nd hand info:

One of the Miami recruiting sites is saying that Patchan is visiting Miami this weekend, and that its the last visit he's taking this month. No mention of a South Bend excursion later this month... not sure if it's absent minded reporting, or if something changed.

two weeks ago, we weren't expecting Pachan or Trevor, so even if we land neither of them, we are no worse for ware. Forst and Page are still on the big board.

Patchan is the best OT in the class IMO and that would suck to misss out on a talent like him but your right GoIrish41. But losing out on him hurts less knowing that ND got Lane Clelland another super stud that has the ability to be a LT.

Also, are we entirely certain the info on the Miami Rivals site is accurate?

No, but can we be entirely sure that anything is factually accurate? Nope. They don't have a laundry list of factual inaccuracies, so we have to take them at their word until we hear otherwise.

The Cane guy could be right but he is the one who said it, not Patchan. Patchan coming to ND for a visit is relatively recent so the guy may not have had the info on that yet. I don't think the ND staff would turn away Patchan in the short term even if they were completely confident on Trev. I have to believe they would find a way to squeeze both of these guys in if they were both really interested. Forst is the odd man out if Robinson commits, he does not have the potential that Patchan has.

I have not seen anything else to verify that Patchan is not coming, on the other hand, I never saw anything that verified he was coming in the first place. Ghost Spirit, do you have other info besides what came out of the U article that says he's definitely not making the trip?

I don't have much info on Matt. He has said that this summer he would be driving to visit the closer schools and then use official visits to see the farther ones. It is very likely that the 'Cane writer has incorrect info because no where in the article does Matt say he won't visit anywhere else. Just the writer's headline. I do know he's planning on being an early enrollee. It was surprising to see that he wasn't going to visit afterall but hopefully there was some miscommunication and he'll show up.

Matt recently named a top 5, and they are LSU, Florida, Miami, FSU, and Ole Miss. ND, UGA and Auburn did not make the cut.

It looks like it's Robinson or bust.
