Prestwood is a point, but Amir's family moved out there, hence his enrollment at ND.

"Hence his enrollment at ND."
The family didn't move to South Bend, they moved to Indianapolis. Indiana, Purdue, Cincinnati, Louisville, Illinois, OSU, and Northwestern all have quicker travel times than ND does. Kentucky is almost the same as ND. Add an hour or 90 minutes and Michigan St, Michigan, and Vandy are possible choices. Take it to 6 hours and you add Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Tennessee, and bunch of others.
He had his choice fo schools and choose ND which isn't surprising as Amir's Top 2 were USC and ND.
He's at ND because he wants to be and because he has the academic ability to be here. He tasted Southern Cal academics and could have easily opted for OSU or anywhere else besides NW and cruised through classes. He chose the tougher road.
Your "Hence his enrollment at ND" is a misrepresentation. IF Carson Palmer's father, David Terrell's father, Ron Dayne's father, Randy Moss's father, or Walter Payton moved to South Bend their sons were NOT going to be students at ND. They weren't prepared for it. Palmer, Terrell, Dayne, and Payton COULD have but all refused take necessary classes or retake a test to improve a score. Many elites can't get into ND. Many others don't want to do the work.
