Yeah, but he's also in Denzel McCoy's ear so take it for what it's worth.

I know he's been deflecting attention elsewhere, but I think we'll get a commit from WabashFalcon before the week is over.

From Q&A with Jamie Newberg, Rivals.

Rivals.com Football Recruiting - Ask Jamie: Brewster building at Minnesota

July 16, 2009
Q. Ray Ray Armstrong and Anthony Barr are jack-of-all-trades players in their respective recruiting classes and could be great at a number of positions in college. So, who do you think is better as a prospect?

A.That's hard for me to answer. I had the chance to watch Armstrong – a Miami signee from Sanford (Fla.) Seminole – last season in Florida's Class 6A state title game as well as for a full week at an all-star game (the UnderArmour event). I have yet to see Barr – from Los Angeles Loyola – other than on film, and that film was him playing running back.
In terms of ability, both are outstanding. Armstrong played quarterback and in the secondary last year and led Seminole to a state championship over Miami Northwestern. Armstrong (6-4/220) wants to play safety but likely will grow into an outside linebacker at Miami; he may even grow into a defensive end. Armstrong's athleticism and upside made him the No. 13 prospect in the country last season.

Barr (6-4/230) powered his way to 1,890 rushing yards and 20 scores in 2009. You don't see many, if any, high school backs at that size do the things he does on the field. He likely will end up at defensive end in college, but don't tell that to Barr, who wants to run the ball at the next level. Right now, I believe Barr is the No. 2 prospect in California, behind Ronald Powell. How does Barr stack up against Armstrong? Right now, I would give the edge to Armstrong simply because I have seen him in person and saw his versatility. I hope to see Barr in person during the all-star "season."

Blah blah blah, he has said it doesn't matter. I will take his word over Jamie Newburg's.

According to his facebook, Barr was at UCLA today. 4 hours later his status changed from "UCLA" to "This Sucks"

Take it for what it is worth. Kid is a baller and he thinks outside the box to say the least

Does anyone know which way he is leaning? Also, has he scheduled any OV's yet?

Thanks!

The word on Barr is that he is leaning towards 3 schools: Cal, UCLA and ND. Loyola's (his h.s.) QB is Nueheisal's son, so he's in Barr's ear about UCLA. But the truth is, Barr's been very quiet with is recruitment, and he's going to wait to announce. If ND wins, they stand in good shape (but no lock despite what some ND fans think). The interest in other schools seems genuine...

Man I agree with you guys, gotta watch what you say on here, these young men give all they can muster to be Irish and no sense making them feel like they are not respected as a son of NOTRE DAME once they get here.

Mike Farrel and others have been saying that Barr in reality is a silent commit to us. Most of this is due to the fact that Pete Carrol has had trouble getting his attention. Hope its true but consider the source
