Chuck Martin is the primary recruiter in Chicago. Not sure if he covers all of Illinois or just Chicago.

you may be right...it was weird how in the article the only two places not mentioned were illinois and alaska! lol!

A few others, such as Wyoming, Hawaii, .... Maybe Martin is the 'catch all' for states not mentioned!?

Martin does Illinois and was named recruiting coordinator so I believe he is a bit of a catchall. It seems like these guys have their own territories, but it may be just me but it also seems like I've seen more frequently people getting assigned recruits outside of their area. This could be do to personalities, positions, or just personal relationships. I like it though honestly.

Notre Dame Football - The Recruiting Plan

What Brian Kelly’s doing, that is a very similar approach to what Nick Saban does at Alabama,” Luginbill said. “There is a certain set of criteria in their evaluation process, and if a guy doesn’t meet certain parameters, even if they think he’s a good player, they’re going to find someone that fits that mold.

“You have to recruit to your needs, but you also have to recruit to your scheme and your style. The players you’re recruiting, better meet that criteria.”

Some guys Notre Dame has appeared to pass on haven’t.

Touted prospects like cornerback Doran Grant (Akron, Ohio/St. Vincent-St. Mary) and defensive end Jalen Grimble (Las Vegas, Nev./Bishop Gorman) likely don’t match all the size criteria, or inside linebacker James Vaughters (Tucker, Ga./Tucker) plays a position that isn’t a huge need in this year’s class.

Kelly has identified several players like that in this recruiting cycle. Offers have gone out to defensive ends and linebackers like Ray Drew (Thomasville, Ga./Thomasville County Central), Trey DePriest (Springfield, Ohio/Springfield), Ishaq Williams (New York, N.Y./Lincoln), Aaron Lynch (Cape Coral, Fla./Island Coast), Giorgio Newberry (Fort Pierce, Fla./Fort Pierce Central), Anthony Chickillo (Tampa, Fla./Alonso), Anthony Rabasa (Miami, Fla./Christopher Columbus) and Stephon Tuitt (Monroe, Ga./Monroe Area), all of whom are uncommitted and ranked in the ESPN top-150. The Irish lead for Lynch and are expecting summer visits from DePriest and Williams, possibly Chickillo, with Rabasa and Tuitt looking to take an official in the fall.

Notre Dame is currently in great shape with several other players ranked in ESPN’s top-150. Four-star running back and future U.S. Under Armour All-American Savon Huggins (Jersey City, N.J./St. Peter’s Prep) will visit the campus in late June. Fellow U.S. Under Armour All-American offensive lineman/defensive lineman Cyrus Hobbi (Scottsdale, Ariz./Saguaro) is also looking to take a trip to South Bend this summer. Blue-chip offensive tackle Antonio Richardson (Nashville, Tenn./Ensworth) will most likely use an official in the fall. Receiver DaVaris Daniels (Vernon Hills, Ill./Vernon Hills) has Notre Dame as his leader, and another receiver Kasen Williams (Sammamish, Wash./Skyline) is currently planning his first-ever visit to the school. Another four-star running back Jameel Poteat (Harrisburg, Pa./Bishop McDevitt) guarantees a visit this summer, and one of the nation’s top defensive backs Wayne Lyons (Fort Lauderdale, Fla./Dillard) has camped in the past and seems to be very interested. Then of course, there is quarterback Bubba Starling (Gardner, Kan./Gardner Edgerton).

This waiting seems like the price we are going to pay to pursue the elite defensive prospects. A lot of the best kids like to take their time.

The USC Admissions Dept would probably have to transfer first.

You'd absolutely need USC's Admissions Office. I believe that ND did not even send a LOI form to Seantrel on National Signing Day (translation....he didn't make it past ND's Admissions Office).

You are correct. This fact was discussed in the ESPN article that discussed Henderson's recruitment.

He's actually friends with him, and he said he would be calling.

First order of business is putting in a call to a four-star defensive end from nearby Cape Coral, Fla.

"Definitely one of my good friends Aaron Lynch," Burton said. "He's definitely a big prospect for them. I'll get on the phone with him and start talking to him a little bit. No pressure on him or anything, just talking as friends and fellow recruits"


thanks for the heads up!

I hope the best for Bubba, I really do, but I don't think he'll ever throw a football for us. He'll be a millionaire in a year or two and be playing baseball.

But I hope he makes it to South Bend. I also hope he's the next to commit.
