Currently rated the top Center in the 2015 Class, this 4 Star 6’5″ 285 lb from Pocatello Idaho committed to ND when visiting ND this weekend. Slated to play center he can also play OG. First true Center pick up by ND since Braxton Cave. That makes 3 so far in this class – really good start. He was swayed by academics, current players and new commits along with OL Coach Harry Hiestand as well as Brian Kelly.

With ND season finished, I had an opportunity to see other games and I was shocked at how good they all were – we would not beat Michigan State if we played them today. Of all the games played maybe we could beat Duke – the rest would have killed us.

Do you want to see a running attack? Check out Auburn – they hardly ever throw yet they get monster yards running the ball. Auburn Head Coach Gus Malzahn is certainly coach of the year. He took a 3-9 team to the NC in his 2nd year – kinda a real offensive genius.

Everyone knows how they beat Bama but when did you last recall seeing a return man on a FG try? Suggest all ND fans send Kelly a copy of Malzahn’s book “Hurry Up No Huddle – an Offensive Philosophy” Also inundate him clips of yesterday’s game to let him know how to develop a rushing game offense.

So now on to the Pinstripe Bowl – which I can guarantee no player was in favor of – yeah their opinion really counted. Kelly has 3 weeks to develop a running game – absolutely must be able to run the ball in cold windy weather. Wanna see passes float? Play football in NY in December.

I was delighted to see Urban Meyer go down in flames and happy for MSU coach Dantonio although I still want his DC Narducci to replace our mystic Diaco.
