Crept onto campus this past weekend.

Notre Dame - “I went to Notre Dame Sunday and was there from about eight in the morning until 12. Notre Dame is like Mater Dei 2.0, it's so similar to my school. It’s different than any other place I’ve seen but that’s a good thing. They do things different there and recruit a different kind of athlete. Coach Clark Lea said you have to really want be at Notre Dame to uphold the standards they have and he said they feel I’m a special kid and I could really do well there.

“When we first got there, the DB coach Todd Lyght, took me and my parents on the campus tour. We saw the stadium and the facilities and you can really feel the tradition they have there. They’re building a new practice facility there so we saw that and also met with the academic people. I had a good talk with coach Kelly too and he encouraged me to keep performing as well in the classroom as I do on the football field.

“Academics are big there and it’s not just about football. The coaches told me coming from Mater Dei, I would fit in really well and the adjustment period would be faster for me than most freshman. Overall, it was a good visit and I really enjoyed it there.

Wow he's got a lot of nice things to say about ND. Gonna be a shame when he signs with SC.

He'll be at the game on Saturday as will a gazillion 2020/2021 SoCal recruits.

In fact, ND's pep rally is at Mater Dei on Friday as the team is getting ready for their Championship Game vs Bosco.

This reminding you of the ND/USC home game a few years back with Kiffin. ND had a ton of recruits there and Kiffin trolled the post game interview after their win about having a lot of good prospects get to see them play. I think that was the game RB Keith Marshall was there along with OL John Theus, who only came to stay in Marshall's ear to come to Georgia.

Committed to LSU.

A ton of skill position talent's leaving SoCal.

didn't think he'd end up Irish, but hate the rich (SEC) getting richer. was hoping he'd stay out west (not at USC or Stanford). at least he didn't go to scUM or pOSU.

This says a lot about the state of college football in Los Angeles. Hope SC never hires a good coach.

Entering Transfer Portal. Does ND have a shot here? I sure hope he doesn't end up at USC.
