Hopefully this ends up happy and another chapter in the ongoing effort to lock down Cincinnati for OSU.

Don't see it. This kid is from the Rudolph mold that only Notre Dame matters.

I was just about to say the same. His school and part of Cincinnati (westside) are extremely pro ND. Not saying it's impossible, but will be very very difficult.

Certainly if anyone can flip Kraemer it's Urban, and if he wants to do it he could certainly sell more immediate playing time at tOSU and a chance to play in the playoff each year.

Well, we have to at least chase him for the next 13 months so we can say we gave it our best. The odds are probably pretty low but Urban has pulled off way too many miracles to doubt that he at least has a shot. You just cannot let a talent like Kraemer leave the state without a fight.

More immediate playing time? We signed 10 offensive linemen the past 2 classes. The playoff thing every year, yea that works.

I don't see it happening either. Decker was a kid who always wanted an OSU offer and finally got one once Meyer was hired and he hired Hinton and Warinner away from ND. Plus, ND didn't offer his preferred major of exercise science, which was another thing working in OSU's favor once they hired Meyer.

You can ALWAYS bank on a purple face implosion. That could be enough to sway him.

His choosing to go the ND is not surprising with his attending a parochial high school. There's a reason why ND is so successful in recruiting catholic high schools on Ohio...

Yea unless there's a shakeup with the coaching staff, I think he'll be signing for ND in about 12.5 months. But as Urban always does, keep on him and maybe another NC will sway him over

I can't speak to schools outside of Cincinnati but in recent memory OSU has won its share against ND in recruiting the Catholic schools in Cincinnati. Hubbard and Hilliard come to mind in the last two years and Devier Posey from LaSalle in the last 7 years?. I'm just going off the top of my head so I'm sure I'm missing somebody that OSU lost out on. But I don't figure a kid like Hendrix or the St. X QB who was only offered by kelly to lure a lineman. Neither one of those kids had above MAC level talent. If OSU wants a kid out of X or Moeller or LaSalle they will always be in the hunt. Coombs has great relationships with those staffs. Elder is a different animal. Those particular west siders still hold the beliefs the Rudy just happened last year and ND is still relevant.

This is accurate. My father-in-law is an Elder alum. It would take a minor miracle to pull a top flight Elder recruit away from the Domers. I know - there are exceptions to every rule, but this one is as hard and fast an unwritten rule as you'll find.
Now my dad, on the other hand, played football at St. X. He'd rather shoot himself in the toe than root for Notre Dame.
