NewRecruitingLogo It was Homecoming Night and his team had just blown an 18-point second half lead.

Butler High School (Matthews, N.C.) fans may have thought the game was over when an interception from junior quarterback Riley Ferguson was returned 49 yards for a touchdown, giving Ardrey Kell High School the lead with two minutes remaining.

But not Ferguson.

Ferguson quickly engineered a two-minute drill that was capped when he faked a spike in the final seconds, instead lofting a 12-yard touchdown pass to his older brother, Zach, giving the Bulldogs a 43-40 victory. Ferguson finished with 325 passing yards and four touchdowns.

LoganTuleyTillmanND1 When Logan Tuley-Tillman visited Notre Dame last month, the junior offensive lineman from Peoria, Ill., left with the Irish as one of his top two schools along with Michigan.

Tuley-Tillman has since collected several more top offers and his list of favorites has expanded as well.

“Michigan, Alabama, Arkansas, Ohio State, South Carolina, West Virginia and Notre Dame; a bunch of schools,” said Tuley-Tillman, who has offers from each of those schools outside of Alabama.

He also has offers from Boston College, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa State, Missouri and Tennessee.

AnthonyStandifer7 After decommitting from Michigan last month, Anthony Standifer plans on taking his time before he makes another decision on a college.

In fact, the 6-foot-1, 178-pound senior cornerback from Crete, Ill., (Crete-Monee High School) doesn’t intend to have a decision made by Feb. 1st.

“I’m going to wait until after signing day because I want to take all five of my officials,” said Standifer.

“I’m not in a rush. Last time I rushed myself and it didn’t turn out right. I’m just going to take my time.”

ArikArmsteadND1 Every school still recruiting Arik Armstead has said it would allow the five-star defensive end prospect to play basketball in college as well as football, but Notre Dame has made it clear they don’t just want Armstead to play hoops, the Irish basketball program feels like it needs him.

Notre Dame head basketball coach Mike Brey made the cross-country trip to Pleasant Grove High School in Elk Grove, Calif., on Monday following a game in Maryland on Sunday afternoon to demonstrate that exact need.

MarcusRiosTeeShepard1 The ever-accelerating recruitment of 2012 cornerback Marcus Rios took another step forward on Monday afternoon when Notre Dame assistant coach Mike Denbrock stopped by Cosumnes Oaks High School to visit with the 6-foot, 170-pounder from Elk Grove, Calif.

Denbrock spent about 45 minutes meeting with Rios and Cosumnes Oaks head coach Ryan Gomes.

“We had a great visit with Marcus,” Gomes said. “He had an opportunity to share with him about the school, the program itself, obviously the tradition and history of Notre Dame. Just getting Marcus more familiar and comfortable with what Notre Dame football is all about.
