Theres been an assumption that quarterback Jimmy Clausens commitment to Notre Dame would automatically lead to a follow-up commitment from his teammate at Oaks Christian High, tailback Marc Tyler.
But my sources at Oaks Christian tell me Tyler says he will not go to Notre Dame and did not enjoy his visit to South Bend last month, when Clausen famously announced he would play for the Irish at the College Football Hall of Fame.
Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis visited Oaks Christian last week but sources say Tyler currently favors USC.
For what its worth, USC is recruiting safety Marshall Jones as hard as any player on the Oaks Christian team, including Clausen.
