"On any committed recruits elsewhere still talking to Notre Dame …
It won’t be an easy pull, but Notre Dame absolutely hasn’t given up its pursuit of Carlsbad (Calif.) high school four-star linebacker Asa Turner. I made it very clear early on how coveted the 6-4, 215-pounder was by the Fighting Irish coaching staff and that remains the case today, despite his pledge to Washington. I’m told dialogue with the Notre Dame coaches has been constant since his initial commitment to the Huskies and the staff is still hopeful that he considers taking another trip to South Bend, albeit very late in the process. I’m told Notre Dame’s impressive work on the field this year, especially by the defense, continues to have Turner intrigued by the program."
