Chris Martin may not to take those visits after all

Granted it's from a pay site, and bloggers don't get paid much, but IrishIllustrated has a nice little tease up regarding Chris Martin. Here's the quote:

"Earlier this week the restlessness in Chris Martin had the five-star defensive end openly wondering about a back-up plan to his Notre Dame commitment. But one day, 243 Facebook messages and a long talk with Corwin Brown and Randy Hart later, Notre Dame’s marquee commitment has reconsidered his reconsideration."

So I think it's fair to deduce from that a certain amount of what happened. Martin says he wants to take a few visits and check out some other schools, ND fans go nuts (as the tend to do), Corwin Brown gets on the bat phone, calls Martin up, and everything is confirmed.

So apparently Martin won't be taking those visits. A John Kerry-esqu couple of days now has Irish fans backing up from that ledge, which is always a good thing. Just a word of caution (and, please, don't read too much into this), but these things are never official until the papers are signed on NSD. Nevertheless, I feel much better about this now than I did yesterday.
