Tell me if this makes sense because it doesnt to me:

"ND is my dream school. I worked so hard to get an offer".

"Got my offer today from ND! God bless!"

"Im no rush to make a decision. No timeline. Will check around."

This makes no sense to me. Kind of like working forever for that date with your dream girl and then slow playing dating her.

ND was Andrew Trumbetti's dream school, but he still took his time before committing.

But then have you Grant Blankenship, who committed fairly soon after getting his dream offer from ND.

Point is, it depends on the kid.

Your post is pretty funny, however most of these kids go on other visits and hear all the lies of being the next Percy Harvin and forget about everything. Its like having your dream girl finally giving you a chance but then you realize that you are attractive to her friends as well.

It's the nature of the recruiting beast today. A lot of these kids really aren't giving ND much thought for whatever reason, but still want an ND offer so they can brag about it. If we landed every kid that said he coveted an offer from ND, we'd be stacked three deep with 5 star kids and be the recruiting envy of every other school.

Just following up on my report from Friday… Do not believe Hamlin will end up at Penn State. I can see him landing at Ohio State, Notre Dame or Pitt, and from what I hear he likes the Buckeyes right now. Probably will change once or twice before he makes a decision, but I don't like the Nittany Lions' chances.

“If I can get to a few of the schools then I’ll do that, but I want to see more and take some official visits and see games,” he said. “I’m going to Penn State on July 18, I want to get up to Notre Dame soon, I’m going to Ohio State’s Friday Night Lights, I’ll go to Virginia Tech maybe this month and then I’ll set up officials to Miami and UCLA

Sounds good to me.

Bad news is I don't like where we stand right now. Good news is he's not deciding soon. We have to hope that the visit with Paris Ford and Darrin Walls happens this summer.

If a kid comes begging for an offer, IMO, he needs to commit. This is a charade.

I believe that is his little brother, who was born just before ND's junior day in March.

Correct, it's his little brother. One of the reasons some think the pull to stay home at Pitt is so great.

Gotcha. I was thinking that, if it was his son, it would probably be pretty tough to get him to leave home, but I guess a little brother is a big motivator as well.

That is so cool! He looks really happy! And he seems like a great guy. A 17 year old making decisions considering others first?

I want him at ND, but will root for him wherever he goes.

For sure, it's tough to lose ND type kids but this is one that if we do, I'll wish him the best.

Teammate Rashad Wheeler committed to Pitt today (over WVU and Maryland). Was planned a few days ago (i.e not impulse decision based upon being at Pitt practice today)
