This, from snippets seeping out from the ND campus presents a different image of Aaron Lynch that may or may not be true. It appears that he felt entitled, important and was somewhat toxic in the locker room. Whatever it was, you just suck it up–you don’t quit on your teammates–quitting is too easy and has a tendency to follow you, sort of habit forming. He just wasted 2 weeks of everyone’s time–but after all it is really just all about him. Better hope that he doesn’t get a serious injury–that ND diploma means a lot in the real world.

So, who will benefit most from his departure–I say Ishaq Williams as the pass rusher –perfect opportunity for him to step right in when 4 down. Schwenke can also play DE–so ND will just carry on–hard to lose this talent but it is a TEAM sport.

Now is the time to switch some recruiting tactics and rely less on Fla. and dig deeper into Penna. Used to be a pipeline to ND and with JoPa gone should be easier to recruit—-plenty of talent there as well as all over the Midwest. Let’s be a little more selective about Fla recruits–let them keep their children home.
