This kid is likely to be very highly rated in the Midwest if not the nation...

From the Michigan site...Steven is collecting offers and is looking at anyone who offers. He has unofficially visited ND and Illinois.

I like that Steven supposedly does not spend much time on the Internet seeing what people are saying about him...he is going about this the old fashioned way.

I have seen this guy listed as one of Notre Dame's top targets and they like their chances, but who don't they like their chances with...

BTW you forgot LB in the title...

So when does Zook break out the Cadillac Golf Cart on this one?

Heard from a friend Charlie Weis was on hand last night to watch his basketball game. This would be at least his second visit to the school to talk to him.

A who's who hopes to corral Caravan's Filer

BY TAYLOR BELL
Mount Carmel coach Frank Lenti lovingly refers to linebacker Steve Filer as ''Teddy,'' as in Teddy Bear. The 6-3, 220-pound junior is described as ''mild-mannered'' off the field. He never would be confused with Dick Butkus or Mike Ditka.
''I don't know if he ever had a bad day as far as his personality goes,'' Lenti said.
''I'm goofy off the field,'' Filer said. ''Sometimes I act my age [he'll be 17 in June], but I'm a fun-loving guy. Size doesn't match my personality. It's not how I am. I like to kid around.''
But Filer, perhaps the most recruited player produced at Mount Carmel, more so than NFL stars Donovan McNabb and Simeon Rice, will have to change his persona from nice to nasty as he prepares for his senior season.
