Yeah - I won't get into that one for drama sake, but I can confirm the multiple schools in FW have gone after him. As well as the IMGs of the world.

Last year Northside did however get Bohde Dickerson (QB) to transfer from Dwenger into Nortside - now attending St Francis on scholarship.
Right—and I get it. I hear about it all the time around the water cooler or see it on social media. I just think it would be interesting to hear from a kid not only having to deal with a major college recruitment, but also to have to fend of suitors at the prep level at the same time.

I will say my connection is going to talk to him, off the record in advance of the interview, to see if he's willing to discuss what it's like being recruited by ND vs Pay-to-play schools. He's not sure if Tae will go down that road, but he's willing to see how much he'll share publicly

He would be the first player out of Fort Wayne to commit to Notre Dame since Drue Tranquill in 2014. Wow, I didn’t realize it’s been almost 10 years since they landed a FW product.

My question would be to rank in order of greatness:

The Dark Side of the Moon

Wish you were here

Animals

The Wall
Probably the order you have them in.
But the Wall ahead of Animals would be fine too.
And just to round out the top 5, Echoes in Pompeii original by itself could easily be 5th.

Caleb Johnson was from FW, started at Homestead before Florida

Also, Skowronek - sort of

Every T needs to be crossed and every lowercase J needs to be dotted here. Admissions had better lock this up and make it air tight for both Johnson and for the staff.
He still has another year in High School. Admissions can't "lock this up" now, they can only say he's on track and tell him what he has to do for now until he enrolls.

What does dale Earnhardt and Pink Floyd have in common?

Both of their last hits were the wall
Funny enough, one of the only #1’s Pink Floyd had was after the Wall, when On the Turning Away went number one, ironically the first year after Roger Waters left & David Gilmour wrote it.

He didn’t take his MSU visit either right?

For the first time ever, a recruit’s actions finally favors the Irish lol

I mean, Kedron Young just cancelled a bunch of stuff after his visit...he just didn't wait very long to go public.

Them and The Who. Over rated.
I used to not like Pink Floyd. Didn’t see the big deal. Thought it was just for people to get high too. I was born in late 70’s, so wasn’t old enough to hear their stuff originally.

Then about 5 years ago a close friend who is a professional musician showed me how many, many music producers over the years in hip hop, rock, pop, etc… all copy what Pink Floyd was the first to do.
Then I started paying attention to the sounds, lyrics, and actual music they were making & realized they invented a genre & were outstanding.
I think most people under 50 just saw them doing shows when they were older & just heard bits & pieces on the radio.
I listen to their 1967-79 stuff & it’s all amazing.
So in my mid-40’s I was converted.

So long as that is all crystal clear and the goal posts don't move.

And with that all said, it's a verbal commitment and little else until he unpacks his bags into his dorm room. Been down this stupid jackwagon road too many times before.
