Miles Boykin to Notre Dame
247Sports reports. Said Boykin: “It kind of hit me when I was on my last visit. My mom, I would always ask her after my visits where I should go, because she’d always be with me, and she’d never tell me. She always told me you’d know when you’re on campus. When I was down [at South Bend] the last time, I felt it, and I didn’t need to see any other schools other than Michigan State because they were really close behind.”
He's a WR from Illinois; was expected to go to Notre Dame.
We actually thought we might have a chance after he visited for the spring game and was offered. But things had been trending toward Notre Dame for the past few weeks, so the writing was on the wall.
ND and Ohio have always been getting recruits. I can live that but I agree with the poster above. Seeing recruits visit MSU then commit to us the next day like Chris Clark never gets old.
to Boykins on choosing ND. South Bend is a real shithole of a city; I know so, having lived just a half-hour away from there much of the last 34 years.
I'm in northern Berrien County. But you're right about Elkhart being a shithole, too. When you think about it, northern Indiana is pretty much one long string of shitholes, such as Gary, Portage, LaPorte, Michigan City, South Bend, Elkhart, etc...
I went to Elkhart for a wedding about 10 years ago and thought it was a complete shithole.
I work in Elkhart and its no different than the shit towns in SW Michigan.. Plus they pay A LOT more..
FWIW I commute from SW Mich because im a Michigan Man, born and raised!
Better than State.
Nothing see here
Does anyone know really where we are turning? I haven't heard any names with interest other than the Tate kid? Granted, we are not in a huge need for a WR. As it stands now, we have this coming back in 2015:
Funchess (SR)
Chesson (JR)
Darboh (SO/JR)
Canteen (SO)
Harris (SO)
Ways (SO)
Dukes, Jones, and York will all be RS Sophomores in 2015 I believe.
is probably the only other WR recruit at the moment. They've done well at that position lately and have depth, especially with red shirting. Tate is a 3 star player with the offer sheet of a higher 4 star player and we're generally considered the leader for him at this point.
Michigan is also after Brian Cole who is a very good 2 way player now. We're recruiting him at CB primarily but if he wants to come here and things go well with others he could get a look at WR.
We are recruiting Brian Cole as a WR.
Also, A.D. Miller out of Texas is a possibility, too.
Cole, Tate, and Miller are the most likely to commit out of the current offers.
Are we still in on George Campbell? The kid is definitely a great athlete, just needs to refine his catching a bit.
Yes, Michigan is still recruiting him, and he said that he "might" take an official visit to Ann Arbor. So there's still a chance, but it's very, very small.
in that now too with the RV industry downturn.
You are right about the string though. Mishawaka, Angola. It's just a line of dirt and mediocrity that stretches the 80/90 corridor in IN.
