Milton Knox visited Notre Dame this past weekend and for a while it looked like he could end up with the Irish. Tonight, however, Inside UCLA reported that Knox would be sticking with his original commitment to UCLA.
Milton Knox Sr. said his son “was leaning’’ toward Notre Dame, but after talking about it as a family stuck with UCLA. Knox originally committed to UCLA in June, but was contemplating a switch to Notre Dame after making an official visit over the weekend.
“He is,’’ Knox Sr. said when asked if Milton was attending UCLA. “It was a pretty tough decision for him. I think the thing that played a big role is family, and being close to home.
“The family is here, and his grandmother, who he is close with, is up in age, and it would have been tough to go to his games (at Notre Dame). I’ve been watching him play since Pop Warner. I coached him in Pop Warner.’’
Odd that all of the quotes from from Sr. Rumors were floating around that Jr was indeed leaning towards Notre Dame, but the family wanted UCLA. Unfortunately, the family won out and he won’t be attending ND. Too bad too, he looks like a dynamite back.
