August 1, 200519 yr I'd say we have a great shot at landing him. I'm sure the playing field is fairly level at this point. On the negative side, it's always difficult to lure a Florida recruit to sunny South Bend, IN. On the postive side, he seems to be a character kid who will look for a great education as well as football success. I'm hoping that the offer to Wenger will help sway him in our direction as well.
August 1, 200519 yr Domehead, you're thinking of Steve Brown. He will be announcing at 3PM. Young will probably wait until closer to Feb.
August 1, 200519 yr as long as we win this year than we have an excellent shot at Sam Young. If we had a great year and still lost out on Youn than I would be completely shocked.
August 1, 200519 yr What I like about Young is that he comes from a Catholic Jesuit school where education is the foundation. And myself, coming from Dallas Jesuit, can relate that acadmeics reign supreme over sports. Hopefully this'll play into his decision dramatically
