Have seen headlines stating James has a leader but not been able to read about the wwwwh? Any help out there on this issue?

It's ohio state, but nothing to get worried about he said he still has to take his 3 official visits, so he said he still has a long long way to go before he comes to his decision. He said kelly coming to nd helped him alot with nd. His last 3 visits will be nd cincy and florida. He said he liked the strength coach Longo more than mendoza and was more comfortable with him. He said it was a little awkward with everybody being pissed about kelly, but he has a good realtionship with and knows hes a good guy. So I think he ends up at nd

New article on James: Recruiting roller coaster leaves St. Xavier standout Matt James undecided | cincinnati.com | Cincinnati.Com

We probably will have to play a wait-and-see game with him, as people have speculated in the past.

 

[BGIF]

James, who is 6 feet 8 and 290 pounds, said he plans to take visits to Florida (Jan. 16), UC (Jan. 21) and Notre Dame (Jan. 29). He took an official visit to Ohio State on Dec. 12.

Because of the upcoming visits, James said he will likely miss the next three Friday basketball games that the Bombers are scheduled to play.

James, who was Division I first-team all-state this season, said he doesn’t want to let his basketball teammates down, but understands his college decision – which affects his next four years – is more important.

“I’ve advised Matt to wait until he felt comfortable with his final decision,” Specht said. “Obviously Ohio State is the only school that has been consistent from Day One so Matt really has to do his due diligence on the other three.”

good thing nd is last visit

agreed. He is a huge need right now.... we have romine, but minus that, we are hurting on OT. Maybe Zach Martin or Nuss can step up next year, but we are still low on depth.

i was just starting to look into recruits for this year and saw us on his board. reading the last few pages makes me feel pretty good about the possibility of him coming.

this would be a huge signing if kelly gets it.

 

[WabashFalcon]

I'd love to see him... and Mr. Henderson. God... I would do terrible, terrible things for that to happen...

We also Have Taylor Dever and Lane Clelland too at OT, but yes, James is a must.

No longer considering UF.

Will decide between ND,OSU,and UC. His only OV left on his schedule right now is ND on 1/29.

Yup, but one small correction...instead of visiting FL this weekend, he's visiting Cinci. Here's the link:

Visiting Notre Dame on my birthday might be a good sign.

Thanks for the link. I was looking at his rivals page and ND was the only upcoming visit. That makes much more sense.

That depends on how old you are whether it's a good thing or not.

I know that we have not talked about Matt too much recently, but apparently Kelly is visiting him this week - however I can't see when, as it's a premium article on ISD. BK is really putting the full-court press on him: visiting this week, offering one of his best friends, and having him come to ND this weekend.

If we were able to land James, I would be very, very excited! I think it would be a tremendous help for our line... let's go BK (bring him a jersey ! )

wow this kid is taking it all the way to the last minuite! kid comes from a great program and would be a great addition to ND!

 

[johnnykillz]

Please, please go Irish son.

If a premium ISD member would help us out with what the ISD article just posted says, I would be forever grateful...

Sounds like he would be a great addittion to our o-line.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

So since Massa is committed, wouldn't it just seem right that James will come with his teammate?

I hope we could get James he would be a huge plus to our depleted depth chart on the o-line.

According to ISD:

Trip went well. Down to O$U and ND. Signing day decision.
