"From what I have been told, he is no longer coming to LSU," recruiting expert Michael Scarborough of Rivals.com/TigerBait.com said Monday night. "He wants to come to LSU, but his mother (Aleta Kiel) got very emotional Monday and did not want her son to leave. He plans to enroll in classes at Notre Dame on Tuesday."

"If you follow his recruiting story, he has changed his mind a lot," Scarborough said. Early in 2011, Kiel had said Alabama and Oklahoma were his finalists.

"What has been relayed to me is that he wants to come to LSU, but his parents want him at Notre Dame because it is closer to home," Scarborough said.

There are also reports on the wide world web that the top DL in the country Arik Armstead is to make his decision today with regard to his future football and basketball career. In the running for his talents are Auburn, Cal & Notre Dame.
