Questioning a kids character you do not know on this board should = banned in my opinion! If he was actually here showing signs of being a me player or there was evidence from HS teamates or something maybe but these comments seem out of line!

I erased the post(s). the character question comes from Savon wanting to play as a freshman and wanting the ball - a lot. Which is shocking when you think about it - a 5 star running back wanting to play early and wanting the rock??? Seriously? No way!

If anyone thinks Savon's attitude is bad, then you need to start watching another sport, b/c there are plenty of ND verbals in this class alone that are coming here b/c of the chance to play early (see: all the corners and defensive lineman, just to begin with). Cierre Wood had the same attitude as Savon coming out of high school. And he wasn't good enough to play when he got here so he redhsirted. And that will be the case for Savon too, should he choose to be Irish. If he's good enough, he'll get his 20 carries. And if not, he won't. Period.

I'd take Savon in a heartbeat...

Here's a good vid profile on Savon. Of course they produce it to look good, but he seems like a high character kid who works hard and is a team player.

Well ****... I should have watched that earlier. Man I really want him Irish now.

Like you said, I know it's meant to put him in the best light..he just looks like they didn't have to try that hard.

And he does look like an old man with his helmet on..:)

Before watching this I was very satisfied with the class we have. Now, if we don't get him, it'll feel like we left a little something on the table. Would love to be yelling Run Gramps Run! for the next 4 years.

This. Josh Atkinson said he chose ND because of PT.

Doesn't matter though because Savon ain't comin

Looks like you just gave him a nickname!

Don't know if this is an oversight or he actually cut ND (doesn't make a lot of sense to do that at this point), but just provides more proof to what most people are thinking: that it's down to UNC v. Rutgers:

@jeremycrabtree Per Rivals radio: Savon Huggins has eliminated all suitors from his list except for UNC and Rutgers, to announce tomorrow.

Interesting because Eric Hansen here contradicts that: South Bend Tribune: LIVE CHAT: Talk Notre Dame football with Eric Hansen

Who to believe? Basically a moot point though as it's a choice between slim-to-none chances and no chance.

My impression of Hansen is that he probably has a lot more inside information or insight as it relates to the team during the season. But it just seems like he doesn't add much insight as it relates to recruiting. I think he reads the same stuff we read and draws about the same conclusions that we do. In reality he probably has less time then we do to follow recruiting.

There is another gentlemen (don't remember his name) at the Tribune that covers recruiting. I am sure it's not just reading the same stuff we do. He is constant contact wit that person.

Watching that video was somewhat interesting. Huggins seems like a nice kid with good priorities. One thing I noticed, his coach has a high-n-tight haircut that must be cut with a straight razor and he has to be ex-military.

Good luck with whatever your choice is Huggins.

I love all you people who are stating where he is going as fact.
The truth is, that this kid has run a very well thought out recruitment.He hasn't opened his mouth to lead people on, and neither has anyone around him. He has simply listed his finalists for tomorrow,and then will go about his business.He has done it the right way.
We have as much a chance right now as anyone else,and until he picks someone else then we still have that chance.Wait and see.

Wasn't it just a tweet that eliminated ND? Nothing in recruiting is "obvious." I would think that someone who follows recruiting so much would know that. I don't think Savon ends up in South Bend either but I love how "facts" are thrown around with no backing. Until Savon Huggins picks North Carolina or Rutgers or he himself reports ND is out of the mix, NOTHING in recruiting is obvious.

UNC has a pretty solid class going. I just remembered that UNC beat us out for RB Giovanni Bernard last year.

Eitherway we won't have to play him if he chooses not to go to ND, so best of luck and have fun on the east coast.

I always thought we were in the conversation more for publicity than real interest. Might be wrong but he just never said anything that made me think he had that much interest.
