He's down to tOSU and ND. He is not going to Fla because of the distance. Scum ran out of room for scholarships so he isn't rescheduling his visit to Scum.
He is denying rumors he recommited to ND.

Gotta give the Domers credit. Weiss has 7 commits in the past two weeks and three are four stars.
If they land McCarthy that is fine. He is a ND fan who would have a much better chance of playing there. On the other hand I would consider Wilson a real coup for ND - and I would hate to see that happen.
Bring this kid home JT!

Bump. No sense in such an important uncommited player being at the bottom of the page! Be a Buckeye, Lawrence!!!!!
PS - would it be possible to tack the guys who are still on the board (Wilson, Gwaltney, etc. to the top since there aren't that many left? Just an idea.

Haaaang on Sloopy, Sloopy Hang on!! O.. H.. I.. O.
There is a new Rivals write-up about Lawrence, his choices, when he will commit and a little blurb saying we have the edge right now. Anybody want to summarize it?

He said it was down to three but Florida was to far away for his dad. He said the OSU coaching staff has the last visit. Tressel, Doc Tressel, Bollman and maybe Fickel will be in the visit. Basically, it's down to tOSU and ND.

I LOVE that we're getting the last word on all these guys. With this few kids left on the board, it's important to finish strong. That's a good way to do it.

With ND sending 7 coaches to Wilson's house, apparently we are going to send 5-6 coaches. I think this is a smart move...

The issue I don't really understand about his recruitement is the fact that when Ty was fired at ND and his family commented on the situation, they basically said they felt betrayed by the AD and administration, now just over a month later they are still considering them?
I know when a new coach is hired that momentum is a factor and a new coach brings new ideas and energy to a program, but does anyone really think that next year when they are struggling again, that the administration won't be under fire?
I believe Lawrence Wilson will verbal to OSU by the end of the week and we will treat his family with respect. Its been a long hard road for Lawrence and his family and I am sure they are ready to go forward.

You are right probably not a bad move and with so few other prospects left on the board the coaches should have time.

'Sought after' an understatement for Wilson
*
Associated Press
SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Notre Dame wants to make sure that a high school defensive end from Ohio knows he's wanted in South Bend.
Seven coaches showed up at Lawrence Wilson's home in Akron, Ohio, on Sunday. That's the maximum number of coaches allowed on the road recruiting at one time.
The 6-6, 235-pound Wilson plays at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School. He committed to play for Notre Dame, but decommitted when Tyrone Willingham was fired.
Ohio State, Florida and Michigan immediately began recruiting him.
Wilson's mother, Sarah Wilson, says the visit was overwhelming.
On Monday, four Ohio State coaches visited and later a Florida coach stopped.
Wilson is scheduled to visit Michigan later this week.

While the final results of the 2004 recruiting season are far from concluding, it’s quite obvious to most Irish fans that this class likely won’t be ranked among the top five of recruiting classes in the nation. However, Notre Dame fans landed their top-ranked recruit in 2004, Charlie Weis, and boy does the future look bright.
Watching the Patriots last night had to get Irish fans salivating, and some fans of opposing teams worried.
There has been much said about the talent, or lack there of, on the Patriots roster, and especially on offense over the past few seasons.
The Patriots don’t have a Marvin Harrison, Terrell Owens or a Michael Vick on offense, but they do have some very good players all working towards one common goal—the same goal they’ve accomplished two out of the previous three years—winning the Super Bowl. They now have the chance to earn their third.
With the salary cap in the NFL, it’s rare you see any team in the position the Patriots are currently in. Most predicted there would not be the dynasty teams we’ve seen in the past in the NFL because of it. But then you have the Patriots, who continue to win and defy those odds.
Weis and his offense dominated the No. 1 defense in the NFL last night and scored 34 points--the most any team has scored on the Steeler defense all season. The Steelers defense had surrendered 30 or more point just twice during the season, and surrendered 20 or more points just seven times in 16 games.
More importantly, we believe, is the fact that Weis usually has his offense playing their best games in the big games—like the 41 points they scored last night, and the 32 points they scored against the Panthers to win the Super Bowl in 2003.
It’s been awhile since Irish fans had a big-game coach to rally around, and Weis continues to prove that he can outsmart the best defensive minds in the NFL.
It’s common knowledge that the best minds in football are usually in the NFL, and Weis, with what many believe to be limited talent, continues to dismantle whatever defense is put in front of him.
The Irish offense finished the season ranked No. 81 in total offense in 2004. I think it’s a safe bet to think the Irish are going to dramatically improve that ranking in 2005 and beyond under Weis and his staff.
While watching the game last night, I was reminded of a curious quote that Akron, Ohio defensive end Lawrence Wilson said to me earlier this month.
"I'm still considering Notre Dame," Wilson said. "I watched their bowl game and that kind of had a bad influence on me. They just weren't getting it done out there. They didn't impress me much."
Considering Weis’ success in the playoffs, I doubt very much Irish fans will be hearing that quote from prospective recruits too often in the future.
Sure quarterbacks, running backs, tight ends and receivers will likely be jumping at the chance to play in this offense in the future, but people need to understand the magnitude of what Weis has done.
Irish fans are not only getting a great offensive mind in Charlie Weis, they’re getting a big-game coach.
Regardless of what happens in the Super Bowl this year, although the Patriots will likely be favored, Weis beat, no dismantled, the No. 1 ranked defense and second-best team this year (the Steelers) already—all the while trying to balance two jobs at the same time.
Think of that…. The NFL’s best defensive minds still can’t beat Weis even when he’s trying to do two jobs at the same time.
What Weis has done is quite remarkable considering the demands any coordinator has in the NFL. To continue to win with the Patriots and still do what he’s done at Notre Dame is extraordinary.
So don’t fret this recruiting season or where the Irish end up being ranked, Irish fans. The Irish already landed their top recruit in Weis.
Once Weis does his magic on the Notre Dame sidelines; I don’t think you’ll have much to worry about in recruiting anymore.
