Notre Dame Gets Their QB For 2014 Class

Posted on: June 12th, 2013 by ND Editor Leave A Comment

4 Star QB DeShone Kizer 6’4″ 215 dual threat QB Toledo Central Catholic (Ohio) became the 11Th commit for the 2014 class. He visited ND this past weekend escorted by Brian Kelly himself – finally got the offer he had been waiting for and thus canceled his trip to LSU scheduled for this Friday – that’s good news in itself. He fits Kelly’s scheme perfectly.

Here is his highlight reel:

So, by my count that leaves about 8-9 slots left and I really hope they can land a NG and DT – I just can’t see Tuitt returning if he’s a projected a 1st round in the Pro draft. Nix also gone so we need some beef on the interior DL.

Things shaping up nicely – if we can hold these guys.

Vanderdoes To UCLA

Posted on: June 5th, 2013 by ND Editor Leave A Comment

5 Star DT Eddie Vanderdoes opted to not attend Notre Dame and will attend UCLA. Reason given – he wanted to stay closer to home. Notre Dame has indicated they will not waive LOI and Vanderdoes appeal to NCAA for waiver has also been denied.

This means that he will not play in 2013 and also loses a year of eligibility. UCLA is about a 7 hour drive yet both CAL and Nevada are only about 2 hour drive. Too much internet traffic about this situation out of UCLA – one can only conclude tampering but you gotta prove it.

With all that said and the way it played out – he would have been a one year wonder ala Aaron Lynch in all likelihood. Better off without him.

Golson Gone

Posted on: May 26th, 2013 by ND Editor 2 Comments

Everett Golson QB starter is no longer enrolled at Notre Dame. Student privacy just leaves it at that.

So – big wrench thrown into the football program with just Rees, Hendrix and freshman Zaire left. Why the hell didn’t this happen before Kiel left – what a big mistake that kid made.

Probably never will find out the reason for Golson’s departure but that leaves Kelly with a real coaching challenge. Rees looks like the starter now and maybe the football God’s will hit him with a little extra mobility and arm strength – after all ND is God’s team so anything can happen.

Walk On Defensive Tackle 2013 Class

Posted on: May 23rd, 2013 by ND Editor Leave A Comment

Marquis Dickerson 6’3″ 275 Defensive Tackle from Arkansas has decided to skip a scholarship offer from a small Arkansas college and apparently has accepted a walk on offer from Notre Dame. He will report join the team in August.

This is the type of kid you all must really pull for – the reason – that he wanted to challenge himself in both football and academia. Stating he will start out on the practice squad but fully expects to earn a starting position down the line – hope he becomes a star and hope the 2013 football class gives him the full welcome.

So as we await word on the Eddie Vanderdoes situation, this guy Dickerson is just about the same size and ” I’m too big to be worried about a little snow”.

Well he’s no 5 star so there is maybe a real Rudy moment for this kid. I’d love to see him excel and bolster a soon to be a a decimated DL in 2014.

Rumors Eddie Vanderdoes / Notre Dame

Posted on: May 21st, 2013 by ND Editor Leave A Comment

Lots of speculation out in California that 5 Star DT 6’3″ 285 trying to get out of his commitment to Notre Dame. Nothing direct from Notre Dame or Vanderdoes yet but this does not look good – expect some clarification soon. This is too hot with freshman class to report on June 17.

If rumors are true, you have to ask yourself what a signed LOI really means anymore and if he defects it throws a big wrench into the DL not only for 2013 but more importantly for 2014 when most of the current DL will be gone.

Old saying smoke = fire well we shall see.

Commit # 10 For The 2014 ND Class

Posted on: May 18th, 2013 by ND Editor Leave A Comment

Offensive Tackle Alex Bars 6’6″ 295 became the 4th OL to commit in this class joining Byrne, Mustipher and Nelson on the line. Current 4 Star from Nashville Tenn. with offers everywhere including Penn State and Michigan where his brothers play. His father Joe Bars played for Gerry Faust at Notre Dame. That should just about close out OL recruiting for this class – but one more out there that ND is pursuing.

Now it comes down to numbers – believe only 8-9 slots left. So ND’s sitting pretty going into the summer. Like to see us get a BIG Nose Guard now.

Here is his highlight reel (he’s #70):

Quenton Nelson OT 9th Commit for The 2014 Class

Posted on: May 2nd, 2013 by ND Editor Leave A Comment

Notre Dame picks up big time recruit as Quenton Nelson 6’5″ 295 lbs from Red Bank Catholic HS NJ commits to the 2014 class. That makes 3 OL for the class. Nelson as an OT joins OG’s Byrne and Mustipher.

Everybody wanted this kid – OSU, Alabama, Oklahoma, Stanford and about 40 others – great, great pickup for ND.as they stock up on OL – guess they take just 1 more for this class that would give them 2 OT’s and 2 OG’s. Really exciting news for Irish fans.

Here’s a clip of Nelson – he’s #56 LT in film – he really has a motor – so enjoy.

In other news Roby Toma a free agent with the Baltimore Ravens.

Elijah Hood Commit Number 8 Class 2014

Posted on: April 29th, 2013 by ND Editor Leave A Comment

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.

Other news – John Goodman free agent with Cinncy Bengals joining Eifert.
