'09 IL OL Chris Watt (Notre Dame Signee)

For those of you who followed Garrett Goebel's recruiting journey may recall that the last school Garrett visited was U of MICHIGAN. However at that time (July) Garrett was already 95% sure that the Buckeyes were the "perfect fit" for him. Since MICHIGAN was late to offer Garrett he did not even want to look into their offer. As a reputable program & to ensure no regrets I ENCOURAGED GARRETT VISIT THERE......I knew it was a mute point though as Garrett's heart was with Buckeyes for months prior. But you must leave "no stone unturned" in today's complex recruiting environment.

I feel that once Watt makes a second visit his mind will be close to a final decision......IMO

Xpunishr...thanks for the great input! Is CW's father an ND fan? This has been reported on many sites. I wish the best for CW. He sounds alot like your nephew. Great kid, i hope we get him. Go Bucks.

Yes I get the impression CW's father is a ND fan. But remember that his father did not join Chris @ 1st visit to OSU. He will join Chris on 2nd visit some time in next 60 days. Chris is similar to Garrett in terms of humble and a young man of few words (which is why I wanted to assist him any way possible) Every prospect has different issues that have priority when making their final decision and I respect that in Chris.!!!

In Garrett's case he (Garrett) desires to have a great chance of playing for a NATIONAL CHAMPION!!! As well as practicing with outstanding competition each day...a challenge he savors.

This may or may not be as big a factor in Chris's decision......time will tell.

For a long time, it's been considered a ND vs OSU battle, with UM sneaking in more recently. Watt seems to be further along in his decision making process, so I think it's a bit late for PSU to make a run.

That is excellent advice. I'm glad Garrett took it. He is lucky to have you in his corner. GPA

This article is GBW interviewing the Head Coach of Glenbard West HS on Chris Watt. Chris' head coach talks about what Chris is looking for amongst the colleges that he is looking at.....wants a college that is strong academically, and one that is very competitive football-wise, i.e, playing for National Championships. Also, says that Chris is getting tired of the recruiting process and may make a decision by the end of July.
