T-minus five days until we get Spencer Boyd's verbal. GOt a great, GREAT feeling about this one. He has yet to take a visit to GA... and my gut is telling me yes.
Yeah, he has yet to take a visit to GA but has them as the leader... I am not holding my breath on him. I think we have a good shot, but in my eyes, its 50/50 between us and UGA.
Olaniyan Feels Close To An Irish Offer
Steve Wiltfong • IrishSportsDaily.com
After racking up 85 tackles with 14 coming for loss including nine sacks, defensive end C.J. Olaniyan has earned scholarship offers from the likes of Oklahoma, Miami, Michigan, Illinois, Penn State, Oregon, UCLA, West Virginia and Virginia Tech, and is also hearing heavily from Notre Dame and Ohio State.
I read that too. It surprised me because it is the first time i heard that the staff was actively pursuing CJ. The guy looks really good on film but if Shembo commits will we have room?
Absolutely, and with him not committing to Georgia and FL despite visiting there, it throws his recruitment wide open I would think. Depending on what you read, either Georgia didn't allow him to commit b/c they are filling up fast and don't want to use their space with him just yet, or he surprised them by not committing like they thought. Same thing w/ FL. I'm not sure if we get him, probably doubtful still, but the events of this weekend certainly couldn't hurt.
Of course, the question might be, w/ Wood and Boyd already in the fold, and Riggs and Shaw firmly in the mix, would ND allow him to commit if he wanted to??? Depends on how much the coaches like him I guess...
Rumor is Rodgers wanted to commit to UGA and was turned away. Then Florida and was turned away. With Boyd committing Notre Dame will probably focus exclusively on Riggs or Shaw.

per 4HL: White has stayed in constant contact with the Irish.
Polian has kept in Powells ear and the staff is trying to get him on campus for the Washington game. Still looks like a USC-Fla battle but a good visit could go a long way
As always thanks for the updates jason. Like being able to jump to just one thread and see what is going on in recruiting. I'd rep, but i got to spread some around first.
