Aside from a minor incident in the stands during Saturday’s game, Tommy Mister (Oak Lawn, Ill./H.L. Richards) could not have asked for a better trip to Notre Dame, and the Fighting Irish are in prime position to land the 2014 athlete.
With offers from Illinois, Northwestern and the Irish, and interest from the rest of the Big Ten and several national schools, Mister already has an early leader.
“I kind of like Notre Dame. Notre Dame is No. 1 right now,” Mister said. “... Coach [Chuck] Martin has really sold me on Notre Dame. The coaching staff is pretty cool. The facilities are great. The players that used to there were talking to me and telling me how great Notre Dame is and how they look out for you after college if you don’t go to the League. They don’t kick you to the sides, don’t use you for your athleticism then just say bye.”
