Honestly, this could be a fantastic choice for Matt. Top line education. And as an offensive lineman, if you're good you're going to get drafted no matter where you went to school. Look up and down an NFL roster, most of the offensive linemen aren't from marquee schools.

Did he take Official Visits? Seems odd he would commit to an out of state school without taking visits. I see Scout has him visiting Duke on 12/4/09, but no other visits listed. This seems a little odd to me.

If he did choose Duke, I wish him the best.

He was supposed visit us officially this coming weekend (Dec. 12). Guess not anymore?

Just over at the Duke board where there was initially elation followed by serious back tracking. Can't tell exactly what did happen but it appears that the Matt James we are interested in did NOT commit to Duke.

Scout $ - James still considering ND

Originally scheduled to visit ND last weekend but cancelled due to that whole not having a coach thing... He still wants to visit after they hire a coach and he takes his Ohio State (Dec. 12) and Florida (Dec. 1) official visits... Still interested in Cincy too but probably won't OV...

Matt James To Follow Kelly To Notre Dame?
Posted by Dave Biddle on Dec 10, 2009 at 08:38 pm

Could the hiring of Brian Kelly as Notre Dame?s head coach mean that prized offensive line recruit Matt James is likely to join him in South Bend?
James (6-8, 290) is one of two highly-rated OL prospects that Ohio State would love to land to close out its 2010 recruiting class. The other is Seantrel Henderson (6-8, 310) from St. Paul, Minn., and he is also trying to decide between the Buckeyes and Fighting Irish. Ohio State has just one offensive lineman in its 2010 class thus far, that being Andrew Norwell (6-7, 275) from Cincinnati Anderson.

As for James, he is out of Cincinnati St. Xavier and for months has been torn between OSU, Notre Dame and the hometown UC Bearcats. His father is a UC graduate and is also a big Kelly fan. The family is Catholic.

That led me to this conclusion: James is probably going to follow Kelly to Notre Dame. It's by no means a sure thing, but appears highly likely.

Chill out. He goes to ND, he goes to ND. We'd love to have him here, but in the end of the day, our program will go on. Lets just chill out.

Who's not "chilled out"? I'm pretty sure everyone knows our program would go on without James. The Kelly hiring is a huge development in the Matt James recruitment. Of course it's going to get brought up in this thread.
