I know speculation over someone's social media texts is probably a waste, but for what it's worth, he seemed a bit more excited about it yesterday than he is today.

My prediction: He can see himself coming to ND and his visit was about an 8/9 out of 10. We gave ourselves a chance, but didn't blow him away.

Again, just my useless interpretation.

Having said that, Florida getting blown out yesterday and fi we beat USC we can only help our chances.

I think that a win over USC (his #1) will go further than a 9/10 visit. Florida amd USC will continue to struggle this year, we just need to win.

Agholor was in the student section so the crowd was great for all he knows. Early reports say the Irish made HUGE gains with him and it sounds like they will be a player til the end.

He is a very grounded kid, so it doesn't surprise me that he wants to wait until February and consider all options. Good for him. ND is winning and we are in the mix for a great athlete. All good.

Yes, this was earlier, and I read it as, "not much, I'm in ND for my official". Take out the comma and it sounds pretty bad. But add the comma and add his comments post-visit and it makes more sense...

Agholor back from Notre Dame

Looks like the same article is not premium on yahoo.

Here is the link
Agholor back from Notre Dame - Yahoo! Sports

Tampa (Fla.) Berkeley Prep five-star athlete Nelson Agholor took his first official visit this past weekend traveling to South Bend, Indiana to check out Notre Dame. The Irish hosted Air Force.

“It was a great experience. It is a beautiful place. It was special,” Agholor said. “I took this opportunity to take a visit with having a bye week and I am happy I did, because I think I took full advantage of it.+”

During his time on campus, Agholor got the full attention of Brian Kelly and his staff. He said their consistent message to him was a simple one.

“What they relayed to me is the opportunity to play wide receiver and play it big and early,” Agholor said.

The 6-foot-2, 180-pound athlete who likely ends up at wide receiver in college paid close attention to the play of the Irish wideouts during their 59-33 victory. He said he saw a need for a big-time wide receiver to take his talents to South Bend.

“Yeah, I did,” Agholor said. “With Michael Floyd leaving, I feel like there is a void that will need to be filled in that offense. They need a big, big-time receiver and that is something I definitely think I could work towards.”

The atmosphere and ambience that surrounds Notre Dame also made an impression on Agholor when he was in and around the stadium.

“I loved it,” Agholor said. “That is an area right there where I feel football is number one. The fans, the people there, they back that program up 100% whether they win or they lose. They, right now I think they have a 3-2 record, but you would think they were undefeated with how all of the tickets are selling out. The history of the program is amazing. It has a legacy, people passing tickets down to their grandchildren, they keep the tradition going.”

All in all, one of the Sunshine State’s best players said the visit made a great impression on him and furthered his understanding of what Notre Dame offers a prospective student-athlete.

“Yeah, definitely,” Agholor said. “My understanding of that school is that it has great facilities where football is played at a high level, but most of all I got an understanding of the power of a Notre Dame degree. That is similar to my high school in a lot of ways. When I got there though, I got to see just high of a level they play football at. They definitely have a program with some great players and they can compete with anybody. Michael Floyd is definitely one of the best wide receivers in college football, if not the best, and that is big for me to see.”

As for where he and Notre Dame goes from here, he said that he simply expects them to continue to put forth a great deal of effort in hopes of landing his signature come February.

“I know that the coaches are going to come down and see me and continue to recruit me,” Agholor said. “Everything still stands open for me, but I know because I took advantage of the opportunity to visit there on an official visit, they are going to bring their recruitment to me a little bit harder and I am OK with that.”

Agholor once again stated that he does not claim a leader at this time.

At this time, Agholor has no other visits planned. He said his primary focus is now back on the field with his Berkeley Prep teammates.

I have a good feeling about him after that visit. And the point that he has only made one official and that was to ND during his football season gives me the impression that we are higher on Nelson's list than he will give out. But there is still a lot of work to do on Nelson.

Hasn't he taken several unofficials though?

That he understands the power of a Notre Dame degree is very good for our chances. This is good stuff.

If Nelson commits, that's four 6'2" 180-200 pound WRs in this class alone. All with incredible speed and playmaking ability. I love it.

Nice comments. As long as his folks aren't pulling a Cam Newton we have to like our chances. You can tell he thinks he would be #2 behind Floyd if he were on the team now. I think he imagines what ND would be like if we cloned Floyd and played him at X, Y and Z with three more ready to help keep the front line fresh. That seems to be what BK is shooting for.

You guys were just a few rows in front of me! I'm in 33 too, are you freshmen or sophomores?

Also, as a side note to anyone on here who would like to know, I got to know Chris Brown and Will Mahone the weekend they were here (MSU game). Both guys were enjoying themselves although Chris was really shy, some friends and I still convinced him to tweet at one of us and get pictures with us. Him committing the next day was absolutely hilarious for us.

I'm about 2/3rds of the way up. You may have seen my row spelling out "FLOYD TD!" with body paint at the MSU game... too bad he didn't actually have a TD that game haha.
