Chicago, IL. This should be a lock…

 

[IrishSportsDaily]

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Purdue, BC, Florida, Illinois, Louisville and Vanderbilt have all offered since his profile was created.

Rivals lists him with two visits to ND: 4/6 and 4/20. No other visits listed to this point.

Told Matt ND's #1 on his board and that they told him he's #1 on their board.

Would agree but the quotations in that article suggest he’s still hoping for an OSU offer. If one doesn’t arrive, then he’s in decision making mode.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

I can see where this is headed....

 

[BobbyMac]

Added SC, A&M, Ole Miss, Mizzou, Mich St, K State, Cincy, Cuse, Minn, KU & ILL in the past couple weeks.

Has Miami offered?

 

[PolishDomer]

And do we know if he works at a Starbucks...

[BobbyMac]

Well that sucks.

But ask yourself... was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor???

Money money money moooooney

 

[Irish#1]

Was it Fawcett or Jones that flunked geography?

 

[ND7983]

He was at the USC game over the weekend, & from reading comments from USC mods & USC fans who saw him there…he had no interest in the game, he was way more wrapped up in other things.
Another example of a Midwest kid caught up in the glitz & glamour of LA, Miami, etc…
Not a good fit for him at all.

 

[Irish du Nord]

This bodes well for Miami’s 2026 DLine class

 

[BobbyMac]

The USC industry guys had no idea it was happening.

Probably just a leverage move to get all the way into ND's pockets

 

[IAIrish]

Didn't know usc moved their campus...

 

[IAIrish]

Long way to signing day for a '26 class. As we know, those year plus long distance commitments are hard to keep.

 

[ColinKSU]

I’d rather that happen now than later.

 

[INLaw]

Yeah he kind of quickly self selected out of our aisle and frankly I prefer that. No need to learn who he is or ever give a crap about him. Don’t need to hear how he is a barista or good at the piano or some other prattle just bugger off and let us look for ones that may fit
