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
