If Barr could end up at UCLA and Lueders end up at Stanford... Diamond can end up at ND.

Its not confirmed but my buddy writes for scout and he is from Illinois and is close with Diamond. He told me Diamond is planning on visiting this weekend, its not confirmed but would just like everyone to know.

ISD confirmed that Diamond is visiting this weekend, starting Saturday.

GBdomer · Mar 31, 2011

Right on.

OCIrish · Mar 31, 2011

That's good that he's at least giving us a visit to see our practices and to visit the team...let's hope they give him something to really think about.

GBdomer · Apr 3, 2011

Notre Dame was pretty impressive, got to see a practice, met some players, saw the facilities, felt like i can potentially play for them... Expect the Unexpected

that is his current facebook status.

NDinL.A. · Apr 3, 2011

Yeah, he told ISD that ND really opened his eyes and that they did very well with him this weekend. Will have a top 15 and then a top 10, and ND will make both, per ISD...

rtrn2glory · Apr 3, 2011

in other words this is going to be a long recruitment.

Riddickulous · Apr 3, 2011

Diamond's clear favorite is Michigan, so we still have quite the battle ahead.

Ironman8 · Apr 8, 2011

Visiting Ohio State this weekend.

Riddickulous · Apr 17, 2011

Rumblings that he's a silent verbal to Michigan. One of numerous players suggested at the rumor.

Rivals quote on his Ohio State trip:

"The campus is enormous," Diamond said, when asked about his experience at Ohio State. "It was big but everything was close together as far as football and academics wise."

"I talked to all of the coaches," he said. "I talked to head coach Jim Tressel and he was a down to earth guy and he's got a sense of humor. It was just kind of cool getting to see the coaching staff. Coach Tressel is a good guy and coach (Jim) Bollman is a good guy. I got a chance just to really get a good understanding of what they're doing and I can't wait to go back."

"Everybody is pretty even right now but Ohio State, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Notre Dame are obvious to me that they will (be on the list)," he said.

Said he wants to break it down to 10 schools before the summer & by the end of the summer have 5 schools & take his OV's to those. Visiting Michigan this Saturday.

I think Diamond will be a skunk bear when it's all said and done.

IrishInColumbus · Apr 18, 2011

If he decides to not go to Notre Dame, which I will not ever understand, I hope he goes to Wisconsin. As an OSU student, I love it when the Badgers destroy us and everyone comes back down to earth. hahaha

Just not Michigan.

GoldenIsThyFame · Apr 18, 2011

NM ...... Woo.

Ironman8 · Apr 21, 2011

Will be at Illinois's spring game this weekend.

Added offers from Alabama, North Carolina and Ole Miss this week.

FWIW:

Jordan76simeon Jordan Diamond

The decision might come sooner than I expected..???!!!???

Irish2015 · May 18, 2011

Probably not good for us then

rtrn2glory · May 18, 2011

Michigan's to lose.

This. Christ, Hoke is clearing house.

GBdomer · May 18, 2011

Hes always been Michigans to lose.

Irish Man3 · May 18, 2011

A weak Michigan showing this year will fix that. Everyone is excited about a new coach at a big program, but if they have a poor showing this year, they will lose some of these guys. I don't think they will be much better than .500 this year. And I expect them to lose to their rivals like Michigan State, Notre Dame, and Ohio State.

I disagree.

Every single one of Michigan's current 11 verbals is from Michigan or Ohio. Brady Hoke is returning to Michigan's basic recruiting philosophy: Mop up the top prospects in Michigan and Ohio, grab a couple kids from the rest of the Midwest, and call it a day. Rich Rod abandoned this philosophy and tried to snag the speed recruits from Florida, one of the practically innumerable reasons nobody liked him at Michigan.

This is an entirely different philosophy than Notre Dame's, which basically amounts to "Get the best recruits. Period." Which explains why Michigan has more verbals than we do. It takes a lot longer to convince a kid from Florida to go to college in frigid Indiana than it takes to convince a lifelong Michigan fan to stay in state.

Michigan won't see a lot of attrition.

So from what you're saying, we expect that Michigan will now start recruiting nationally and will see alot of attrition? Are you just messing w us?*

From 24/7:

4-star offensive tackle Jordan Diamond from Simeon in Chicago, Ill., has cut a long list of offers to five schools. Auburn, Michigan, Ohio State, Wisconsin and Iowa are the finalists for the nation’s No. 60 overall prospect, who now plans to make a decision this summer.

“When I went down there (to Auburn), just about everything (was special),” Diamond told 247Sports. “I have to get back down there on (May) 28th (Big Cat Weekend) and further my evaluation. Hopefully I can meet some of the potential players at Auburn and hopefully we can make something happen.”

GainesvilleIrish · May 18, 2011

I could live with him going to Auburn. Would have like him at ND but Auburn over Michigan any day.
