Commit #10 CB Devin Butler
Devin Butler 6’1″ 180 lbs from Washington DC is latest commit and brings the CB commits to 2–believe they want 1 more.
This is a quality pickup and big size CB–great to have him.
That leaves ND with about 10 to go–this is shaping up to be a really nice class so far.
On reviewing ND practice film I noted that Tate Nicols held his own against Aaron Lynch–well that ended in a big fight and Kelly blew his stack and right now Lynch is at home–missing Wednesday’s practice and won’t be back until Monday. This is disquieting news in many aspects: 1-Lynch has commented that he really does not like South Bend that much especially the weather. 2–bad trend here, he had a lot of penalties late last year and seems a little thin skinned which future opponents will goad him into penalties. He needs to grow up a little bit or he’ll become a liability despite being an outstanding player with a great future–this does not look good.
Now I cannot tell you what the fight was about or who started it–maybe Kelly will talk about it (don’t count on it) but this guy Nicols is gigantic and maybe Lynch became too frustrated.
I’m not overly concerned with fights which happen frequently in practice but Kelly is right–you can’t lose your composure in practice because you’ll do that in games and that could end up losing the game.
