ND gets final commitment, a 5’10” 175 lb 4 star wr db from Arizona—–great athlete!

But–some good news, bad news here–very weird recruitment boiling down to much publicized signing at his school(grade,high–don’t know) he didn’t show up but the school band did.

Apparently this came down to the recruit wanting to go to Arizona and his dad wanting ND–if I understand correctly dad would not sign anything except ND.

So, what to make of this–if kid doesn’t want to be at ND, he will be a problem, down the road. On the other hand if he’s accepted and grows up he could start at ND somewhere in 2012.

I feel lots of problems here–but that is up to Kelly. But don’t be surprised if this doesn’t work out.

In the meantime–welcome aboard Devonte.

Recruiting

I just do not understand how every year the LSU’S, BAMAS, GATORS AUBURNS AND TEXAS can land anywhere between 25-30 recruits EVERY year–thought there was a limit of 85 for every team. ND picks up 16 and we now have 82.

Oh I forgot the NCAA and the conference schools have corrupt administrators–so all is ok–CF is now just minor league for the NFL. Graduation rates the biggest laugh of all.

ND, all of a sudden can’t recruit OL–what’s that about? You mean to tell me they could not pick up at least 2 more from all the Catholic schools in the entire USA!!!!!

Seems ND still in the picture for Davonte Neal–this is becoming very tedious.

Greenberry surprises Irish and commits to Houston–no surprise to me.

Never thought Greenberry or Darby were solid.

We needed T Shepard the most and got him.

Decker is the one that really surprised when he went to that scumbag Urban.

Recruiting Drawdown

Just a couple days to go and from all reports I’ve read ND will get 1 more–CB Standifer if he completes a language course. Might be a surprise coming but don’t count on it.

Another pain in the ass topic–Players numbers. Seems they all want #’s 1 , 2 and 3–becoming stupider by the minute.
Just put the names on the jerseys.
