Now this is bad news – the big fast back we’ve been lacking drops Notre Dame to stay closer to home. Hello N. Carolina. Seems family is a big factor here – they wanted him near home. Oh well, better to get the news now than in February.

2014 class is now back at 16 – so the staff needs to start poaching commits elsewhere and troll for a kid that isn’t frightened to go away to school. Probably would have been a one and out or a Vanderdoes.

Way too many prima donnas out there these days. Also think when crunch time and the tough academics kick in – if a kid is a marginal student other recruiters will hammer him with ND’s academics. Can’t really blame a kid for getting the willies about passing a calculus class.

Elijah Hood Commit Number 8 Class 2014

Notre Dame finally lands a blue chip power running back in 5’11” 221 Elijah Hood from Charlotte Catholic HS in North Carolina. Weekend visit with parents seals the deal. He is currently rated higher than both 2013 RB commits and he brings power and speed – great pickup for the Irish.

So lets see that’s 8 so if total we can take is around 20 that leaves only 12 slots left – so again any guy out there with an offer better get aboard soon or might miss out. This big time commit could cause a snowball effect with other elite recruits considering ND. Catholic HS’s coming through again.
