Small change for 2022 TE
2022 Westminister (Ga.) tight end Holden Staes tells me he's bumped back his official visit to June 18th instead of the originally planned June 11th. Probably works out better for Notre Dame as fellow 2022 tight end Eli Raridon will also be on campus along with several of Notre Dame's commits.

Top 2022 Target Locks in OV
2022 Westminster (Ga.) tight end Holden Staes tells me he's locked in his official visit to Notre Dame. The four-star prospect will be in South Bend the weekend of June 11th, which is the same weekend Dallan Hayden, Jake Taylor and Junior Tuihalamaka will be on campus. Staes, a former Penn State commit, has been a priority for Notre Dame and Brian Kelly over the last few months and talking to the Irish staff has given him plenty of insight on the entire recruiting process as a whole. "The values I committed on the first time are still holding solid for me and that kind of led to my decommittment from the previous school," Staes said last month. "A lot of the stuff I committed to was different once I made my decision to decommit. I definitely learned a lot from that process. I know there are things I can't bank on in terms of my decision."Learning the business side of the football process at this level is one thing I'm glad I learned at an early point of my recruiting. I know I won't make that mistake again from that experience. "The values I committed on are what the program is doing at my position, life after football, exposure, development, coaching staff all remain important to me. I'm just going from there and seeing what schools stand out to me the most." The 6-foot-4, 220-pounder values academics and I believe Notre Dame has hit home there. Notre Dame is one of Staes top schools, but the Irish will have to fight off Alabama, Florida, Georgia, LSU, North Carolina, Ole Miss and Texas. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/9860580/5fd10d2f578d52083c5fe36a
