'09 NC OL Xavier Nixon (Official Offer)

[greenandblue]

The Irish are trying to get Nixon to schedule an official visit to campus for the Michigan game in September. Let's hope they get him to visit.

He has said he will announce at the HS All Star game, so a commitment during his visit is unlikely.

Too many recruits have said they will announce around January and then 1 visit later and he commits. Once he announces at the All American game i'll believe him until then he can announce anytime he wants

 

[irishmarine]

its the recruits decision to announce when he knows where he wants to go, but to me if you know where you want to go take a week and make sure then announce it and try to help out with recruiting for your team and school. you can call teamates and set up things that coaches cant.

 

[IrishGrizz]

This is the 1 recruit I can see us waiting for the last day for him to make a commitment with him being guaranteed a slot. Everyone else we can go with guys below them if they won't commit.

 

[irishmarine]

when he knows his desicion he'll hopefully announce and if it takes until nation signing day then so be it. i think this guy could be worth the wait. he is a house

 

[SoCalDomer]

FYI, he has publicly said he will announce at the Army All-American game.

 

[irishmarine]

so we have quite a while to try to impress this kid. i hope they are doing everything within the rules to get this kid. im sure there are teams doing stuff outside the rules to get him

hopefully there isn't a florida hat on the table too!

 

[irishmarine]

i would hate to see a florida hat. any florida team hat.

 

[Echo Insanity]

how awesome would it be if one of these five star kids laid out the hats of the traditional powers, then pulled a Navy hat out of nowhere. that would be one recruiting battle i wouldnt mind losing.

 

[coachjohnson]

We could really use this kid. Hope we can get him.

 

[irishmarine]

any time a kid chooses to go to any of the academys it is a great thing. top of the line edgucation and they will serve thier country. i salute all of them. ooh rah. but if they are not i want them to come to notre dame

as much as i may hate to see a kid even consider those schools he is doing his research as to which school he may go to. i hope level head prevail and send him here.

 

[irishmarine]

and from what i read on another post it seems as though lsu is filling up oline spots quickly. i hope he sees that and decides to come here. and hopefully his parents saw and took notice of charlie out in iraq supporting our troops. it means alot to military people to know that people at home are thankful and support them

 

[greenandblue]

is Nixon the one not committing until january because that's when his father is coming back from Iraq. Sorry if this has been posted i just haven't ben paying attention for the last few months once i lost all my cash

 

[SoCalDomer]

yes

His dad is in Afganistan ont Iraq He is waiting for his dad to finish his tour from Afganistan.

 

[irishmarine]

i just hope his dad returns safely and swiftly. above all his dad is fighting for this country and as much as i may pray he selects otre dame a soldier deserves more prayers. our thoughts and prayers are with X and i hope you and your family together select notre dame

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

Good post Marine.

 

[irishmarine]

thanks but its just the reality and truth in the big picture. theres alot of us here who have served or are related to someone who served and as much as a fan of notre dame as we all are i know and trust that with the prayers we send to whoever about whatever we also pray for all of our soldiers (and marines ) to have a safe return.

 

[ndlb41]

amen to that irishmarine

 

[realitycheck]

Miami IMO

 

[OCIrish]

Over on Scout they've said he's visiting this fall with his mom. I don't pay for them so I don't know when his visit is.

 

[brownkj002]

He's looking at the UM game

 

[IrishAddiction]

i take it this kid is planning on officials before committing anywhere....anybody heard any news on him lately?

 

[wpeifer]

Premium article on Scout.com has me worried. Does anybody have some conciliatory news?

Scout.com: Nixon Knows Two of Final Three

 

[SoCalDomer]

not anything recent. his mom previously said he would be resetting his official to ND, but that's not set as of yet. possibly waiting for his dad to return from afghanistan.

 

[wicket]

there is a piece on scout that we are apparently still recruiting him hard, its insider so i cant reed it but still nice to know. Even though the Oline problems arent just the players but also the zone blocking adding another 5* recruit there wont hurt

 

[realitycheck]

at this point ND is just trying to get him to visit, and that isn't looking good

 

[chyrspchuck]

He is a gator....with what seems like everyone else....jeez....
