I just saw this article about Timpview High standout Xavier Su'a-Filo and his offer from Notre Dame. Here's the link: http://notredame.scout.com/2/736904.html

Interesting quote about what Charlie Weiss said to him:

He asked me if I was Mormon, and he asked me if a mission was something I was planning on doing, said Su'a-Filo. He said, just so you know, lets get this out of the way so it doesn't come up in the future, if you want to go on a mission, thats cool. I thought that was pretty neat.

that is neat-i hope he's not the usc type to manipulate players into the "your a better example here...but can't serve a mission" thing. As bad as Weis team was a year ago, at least their games are always on Nat'l tv though.

I assume BYU is recruiting this kid as well?

BYU offered him after his sophomore year. He'll graduate in 2009 and he also has scholarship offers from LSU, Miami(FL), Notre Dame, Stanford, USC, and utah. Definitely a top OL prospect.

he is a great player, but he is an even better kid. while i would love to see him in blue, i expect he will go to either lsu, or usc.

By 2009, BYU may be ready for a run at the Nat. Championship. Maybe that'll help persuade him that he'll look really good in blue!
