[NU Sports] A recruit we missed out on, thankfully

[Mike Nolan]

Northwestern was one of many schools that gave an offer to ESPN 
top 150 athlete Davonte Neal from Arizona.

I think I'm glad we missed out on him.  First he scheduled a press
conference at his old elementary school to announce his choice,
then missed it, causing 600 kids to miss class time.  Later on
that day he announced his decision--Notre Dame.  

His excuse for missing the press conference?  'Personal reasons'.

Now he has transferred to another high school miday through 
his senior year.

His explanation for transferring?  'Personal reasons.'

If the kid graduates from high school and matriculates at 
Notre Dame, wanna bet this won't be the last off-the-field 
'personal reasons' issue for him?
