He reminds me of the coach in Teen Wolf:

Incoming:

Trevon Grimes
Jaylen Harris
&
Brendon White depending where he lands.
JK Dobbins could land at slot.

Dude is CRAZY to go there when you look at ND's depth chart with Stepherson's status stacked on top.

If he was picking Notre Dame, why would he visit OSU.

I think he is gone

Fair point. Maybe more than fair. Think he is enjoying the attention? Being thorough? Intrigued?

No way to really know? <= THIS

I'd say with most recruits this is a completely reasonable conclusion. Not so sure with this kid. I think he is probably - at a minimum - intrigued with OSU. Not sure it means he is gone though. He seems like he is being very thorough. Who knows though.

I think what Sherm is saying is somewhat right. Not sour grapes at all, this kid is a player. He's a stud. However, it's weeks from NSD and his list is 7-8 deep, not 3-4, which is long, but still reasonable. He wants something, whether it's attention, a bigger stage, etc. I don't know. Something other than what he thinks he's getting, but if it was ND, I don't believe he'd be doing this. Which is fine. That's his deal, that just might not be our guy.

FWIW, forcing guys into ND does not work, it never has , and it never will. So let them come and if not, let them go. Could we have played it differently, yes, but we could say that about other ND players.

Kraemer, Eichemberg, D. Hayes, Jaylon Smith, Sheldon Day, Nyles Morgan, etc. got t recruited until the end, by big time schools, but they were steady in their recruitments.

So many examples of ND kids that didn't get wet when Urban came calling. It isn't wrong that he does, it's just that it might not be what ND is. We need classes of more Wrights, Kmets, Hainsey, etc. who have have been called by big time schools and they don't give 2 fucks about it.

So is the general consensus "he gone" since he took the urban visit this weekend?

I think if ND would've landed this kid he would've committed during the season.

If he isn't coming to ND, I'd root for him to go to the hometown school and be the hometown hero.

I hope he signs at Iowa St so I never have to hear about him again.

Who am I kidding, I'd be happy to have him.

Just saw a comment on a Michigan board that he didn't make it to Ohio St. due to plane issues. Not sure if it's true or not.

Yeah, ISD isn't feeling too comfortable with this one. Alexander is supposed to be visiting him at the end of this week, but longer this goes on, the less likely he is to choose ND.

i think the proof is in the pudding. two weeks in a row he was trying to go on visits. neither to ND.

Spare me the "hes seen enough of ND to know". He is looking for something better.

Which will be extremely entertaining when Mich goes .500 next year since this year was all Sr class loaded.

If "something better" means football first, tons better to go to than Michigan.

Heck, no one on here has felt comfortable on this one for a long time.
