You trust recruits from Massachusetts? Why? Aside from Justin "Notre Dame's All-Time Leading Scorer" Yoon, I'm struggling to think of one who's made a dent at ND in decades.
(Seriously though, where did he play in Mass? I couldn't find anything.There are a few decent programs but it's not exactly a high school football hotbed).
Edit: Looks like he maybe went to BC High, which is one of the stronger football programs around here, and probably the best Catholic school, academically, in Boston. I'll allow it.
I trust Mass kids more than I trust Washington kids ALL DAY. If ND gets in on a Mass kid early and stays on him as a priority (at the right position) I'd take them vs the field every time.
