Kids name is Priest, I'm pretty sure he HAS to come to Notre Dame.

 

[4irishnation]

Priest+Padres= NOTRE DAME LOCK!!!!!!!

 

[Grahambo]

The offer list has me in favor. The measureables as well.

Where do we stand with him?

 

[PatsandBostonfan1975]

[GBdomer]

Likes ND offer. Nothing else really to go on. Will take it slow.

 

[Rack Em]

[PANDFAN]

According to 24/7 LSU offered 2 weeks ago and are the leader.

florida did as well according to a lil snippet on espn on recruiting page

ESPN Insider

On The Trail Blog - ESPN

On his Florida offer:

"That offer was cool," he said. "I don't know much about them, I'm looking into them, but I know they put a lot into their program and put a lot of guys in the league."

Looks like a potential No. 1 priority to him. ^^

Favors no school at the moment. Still early and will sit down with his stepdad and go over a plan on visits and such over spring and beyond.

Distance will not play a factor in his decision:

No sir, not at all

Yesterday, we featured cornerback Priest Willis and he did nothing to change our opinion. At a stout 6-foot-2 he's simply has incredible upside with a future at corner. It's entirely possible he could be moved to safety, but at this event he played solely at corner and was one of the premier corners at the event. He’s got strength and good enough hips to turn and run when receivers can get off the line against him or he’s playing off.

[Irishman77]

looks huge for a DB! This kid is elite.

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

At L.A. Nike Training Camp.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Visited USC 3 times already and will be taking trips to LSU, FSU, and UF over the summer.


...so yeah.

 

[FLDomer]

so you are saying we have a shot!!!???

 

[Emcee77]

Willis is "really feeling" Notre Dame, according to the latest info on 247. Loves Bobby Elliot, his recruiter. Wants to visit. Loves that our African-American players graduate.

(He said a lot of positive things about ND, but when recruits are talking to a reporter who they know covers Notre Dame -- Biggers in this case -- you always wonder if they are exaggerating their interest a little to be polite)

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Visited yesterday by Elliott. Planning to use an OV to visit.

good we could use another priest at the school


Alabama #Georgia #Texas and #Oregon all showing interest in Tempe (Ariz.) Marcos De Niza's Priest Willis.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Set two OVs:

Michigan at Nebraska and Bama at LSU.

 

[STLDomer]

Recieved a 5th star on 247 along with 4 others

 

[DomeX2 eNVy]

Nice story on him.

Priest Willis won't say it, but no denying how good he is - ESPN

I'd sure like to see ND get him, but I'm not getting my hopes up at all.

 

[GBdomer]

If i had to guess USC and LSU lead.

 

[NDPhilly]

Will official for the Michigan game. Sapp hearing ND, Nebraska, LSU, and USC are the major players.

 

[GBdomer]

Michigan game might turn into the USC game like last year.

 

[GBdomer]

Philly you dont want non of this like Golden said yesterday.

 

[NDPhilly]

Haha I got this Tunnel Vision locked down don't even try.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

I think we are third.

Good luck trying to pass the two in front though.

Also Tahaan Goodman said there is a 90% chance they commit to the same school. Both favor USC and LSU.

 

[GBdomer]

USC leads LSU is in second. We might be in third.

 

[Rizzophil]

Michigan game might turn into the USC game like last year.

Hopefully we get some stud commits from this year's Michigan game.

 

[yankeeND]

Hopefully we get some stud commits from this year's Michigan game.

Really if you look at it that game has been good to us in the last two years recruiting wise with the twins and Tuitt then the next year winning over Elmer, just imagine if we win the game!

Look at that list. Insane.

We added 3 that were there for '12 considering how many people were there that's not very good. Also none of them committed directly after.

All I'm saying is... We better win this Michigan game.
