"Notre Dame is not really so focused on how the facilities look, which I like, but they're more concerned on the development of their players and how better they can get them, bigger, faster, and stronger."
That cannot be more of a direct shot at Texas. They've been participating in pimp my ride: locker room edition.

Was that interview with a Notre Dame reporter? Because he barely said a word about Texas. Certainly sounded like he likes ND.
Don’t like that Texas gets the last visit though.

He wrote the article, and it looks like he may really have cherry picked quotes, but he didn't conduct the interview. That was Niebuhr who is an Auburn reporter and CBed Watson to Texas earlier this week (likely right after talking to Watson). Good quotes, but it says a lot to me the reporter walked away and predicted the other guys.

Wait, Loy wrote the story based off an interview Watson did with someone else? Journalistically speaking, that's, um, unusual. And, given the guy who did the interview CB'd Watson to Texas, suggests there's some cherry-picking going on for sure.
Is there a pro-Texas version of this interview on the UT 247 site, too?

Yep, the 247sports human centipede of news. I did look on the UT site but didn't find any counterpart to this article.

Clearly ELITE like 247 Facebook page says. God I hate that site and all the clickbait Loy throws out there.

Interesting tweet. I think we can all guess what this means.

Any confirmation on Kenyatta Watson making it to campus? No pics or things on the internet confirming he did. I assume he did because he retweeted his visit plans a day before.

He did not make the visit. They were stuck in traffic, late to the airport, and missed their flight. No other visit plans other than the OV. So, Texas will get two, and we'll get one more visit. Less than ideal.

Hopefully he locks his keys in his car and AAA takes forever so he has to cancel one trip to Texas. It would only be fair...

Skipping his visit to Texas today btw. So he’s only visiting ND and Texas once more each. So i know people are freaking out with the CB’s heading in UT’s direction, but he hasn’t set foot on either campus yet so not much to go crazy on. April 13th visit will be crucial to his recruitment. Would love to see Sinclair, Sampson, and Wiltfong join Loy with ND CB’s then I’ll gain some confidence.

Correct. We’ll get an OV in May per his father. So neither school will get an unofficial, both will get OV’s, and we’ll get the last one.
