Yeah I don't think it's likely but I felt the same about Justin Scott so I doubt we give up

True, but Scott gave every indication he was willing to listen. Don't think it's the same situation here.

There are some hard fast rules in CFB recruiting that are tough to overcome - big time DTs from SEC country going sec or big time OL from Midwest going ND/michigan.

On the other finalists: Miami, Wisconsin, Florida State and USC:

“I got to give a few shoutouts. I want to thank Miami. Coach Alex Mirabal and coach Mario Cristobal did such a great job building a relationship with me. That was a really tough one to pass up. That was the toughest to pass up. "

Then with Wisconsin, coach Casey Rabach, we’ve been talking since I was a sophomore. He’s been consistent with me and my family. He is one of the best people I’ve talked with throughout the entire process.

With Florida State, I got to give a shoutout to my guy Ryan Bartow. He’s from Wisconsin. He did such a good job too with me and my people.

Those are a few special people. This was honestly the toughest part of it. Recruiting is fake, but relationships are real. I’ve built so many great relationships.

At the end of the day, it’s about the best business decision for me and my future, and Notre Dame is that place.”


IMO, This kid is going to stick with ND. He is their "type".

But did a big time DT from the Midwest not also apply too ?

Midwest DT is a completely different animal than a DT in SEC country

Added both of these laws to the CIS Laws of Recruiting

How Many CIS Laws of Recruiting Can Mario Eradicate?

Over the years, we have a number of fundamental assumptions when it comes to recruiting. How many of these will Mario eradicate with his relentless recruiting and which one(s) do you think are the hardest? You can't pull a 4*/5* RB from LA that L$U wants. (Citizen) You can't pull a 4*/5* DT...

I would counter that a Chicago kid is not like the typical “Midwest” kid.

You're right but a lot of recruiting narrative goal posts do seem to comfortably be moved once Mario shatters a previously held position
