Slaughter still firm with Notre Dame
Notre Dame is off to the worst start in school history at 0-5. But Tucker’s Jamoris Slaughter says he’s not wavering on this summer’s decision to commit to the Irish.
“[Notre Dame coaches] told me at the beginning of the season that they have a young team and this year was going to be one of the years where they don’t have a lot of experience,” Slaughter said.
“I just see this an opportunity for me to go there [next season] and help. A lot of people say ‘you still want to go to Notre Dame?’
“Just because they’re having a bad year, it really doesn’t affect me.”
Slaughter still holds scholarship offers from Georgia and Georgia Tech.
“I like Georgia, but I really decided I wanted to get out of the state for some reason,” he said.
“I haven’t been a Notre Dame fan all my life. I liked Michigan growing up, but I thought Notre Dame would be the best school for me education wise.”

Injury update on ND-bound Slaughter; Tech to lose Reid? | Football recruiting | ajc.com

Tucker defensive back Jamoris Slaughter’s experience during last week’s Under Armour All-America festivities at Disney World turned sour after he suffered a small meniscus tear during practice for Saturday’s game.

“I’m doing better,” Slaughter said Wednesday evening. “I’m walking real good now. I’m going to the doctor on Monday.

“I will probably have to get a scope surgery .”

Slaughter, who committed to Notre Dame last summer, has been in touch with his future coaches in South Bend, Ind.

“I’ve talked to them and they were just like ‘go and get the surgery, get healed and do the rehab,’” he said.

Watching the all-star contest on Saturday from the sidelines was just as painful as the injury itself.

“I stayed and watched the game and it was tough,” Slaughter said. “I know a lot of the players. They felt for me. A lot of them came up and said ‘I know you want to play.’

“I told them ‘go out and do it for me.’”

Slaughter, who anticipates a full recovery from the injury in about two months, said he’s ecstatic with Notre Dame’s current recruiting class, which lost a commitment from Buford defensive lineman Omar Hunter last week.

“I’ve got a real good feeling about everybody coming in and the players already up there,” Slaughter said. “I feel we’ve got some bright things going for the future at Notre Dame.”

While Florida is viewed as the odds-on favorite to land a commitment from Hunter, rumors began to swirl on Wednesday that Georgia is making a late push for the talented lineman.
