Q: How many times did you go to Hawaii to recruit Manti?
Q: What lengths did you go to, to make that long trip?
Weis: The first visit was the week of a bye game for Notre Dame. I took a flight at 10 a.m., on a Friday morning out of Chicago to Honolulu — it landed a little after 2 p.m., Honolulu time, which got me there in time for his 3 p.m. game. I went to the game and then went straight back to the airport and got a on flight through LAX to South Bend. I got home around noon on Saturday. No hotel.
It's hard to argue the impact Manti had on the program and how hard the above described trip would have been.
