Media had access today.
Players have about 5 days to make their case and apparently Troy Niklas ( frosh)OLB is making his.
Tate Nichols (soph) 2nd team OT out for month with dislocated kneecap
A lot of the younger players got a look today–will be looking for Kelly’s post practice report.
Check out this latest Notre Dame football practice video from Fri. Aug. 12:
ND team in full pads Wednesday and some real good hitting drills taped–thank you Jesus.
I’m linking to a few posts courtesy of und.com Replay the drill over and over and what stands out — no one can block Nix or Lynch one on one.
Enjoy!!! 1-Brian Kelly Update 8/10/2011 courtesy of und.com 2-Practice and drills again from und.com
Disappointed that we haven’t landed a quality RB by now–hopefully, something will pop soon.
The usual coming out of fall camp so far–bigger, faster and stronger. But we hear that every year.
Believe this is day 5 and that should mean 1st day in full pads. I’ll be watching out for hamstring injuries. While I fully understand why Kelly wants closed practices– I would really like to see the Linemen go one on one–like to see Cave vs Nix and the other OL’s against Lynch and Tuitt. Get the same deal going with the LB’S .
Like to see the offense ag defense just running the ball–that wouldn’t tip off anything about full offense but would be interesting.
S. Tuitt is one big dude
Andrew Nuss running with 1st team as LG.
ILB–looks like most competitive with Calabrese, Fox and MacDonald fighting for the spot opposite Teo. Whoever complements Teo the best will start–I like Carlo.
QB–think it’s Crist barring injury or mental breakdown.
No doubt that freshman Williams, Tuitt and Lynch will play as will redshirt Nix. Also no doubt barring injury and if they live up to hype all four will go early to NFL draft. So we have 3 seasons out of them. So enjoy while you can and hope Teo stays for senior season.

My wish list of favorites just reduced by one–Tommy Schutt.
Seems he was about 1/2 hour away from committing to ND when ND pulled it’s offer after getting Sheldon Day.
I’m not a recruiting expert and don’t know who the staff has lined up(limited scholies left) but I would have taken him.
NG is punishing position but guess here is– just get one and leave open a more critical position need. Too bad I really wanted this guy.
But just goes to show other recruits better hop on now or lose your offer.
Ok we have 13 and hoping they all stick–listed below is my top 6.:
Not concerned right now about Safety since we expect Chris Badger Safety back in 2012. With say one left to hit 20–get a Center or Guard.
Great pick up–Sheldon Day 6’2" 280 lb. 4 Star DT from Indianapolis IN commits to ND. I still want Tommy Schutt–that would be awesome to have Day & Schutt anchor the interior. Not sure but believe that leaves only 7 scholies left. Will know soon as Schutt is scheduled to visit next week. Welcome to ND Sheldon, now Tommy put the icing on the cake.
4 Star DL Tommy Schutt 6’3" 300lb. from Illinois is scheduled to visit ND next week. We really need this guy. Roll out the red carpet and– Tommy– jump on board. Need you now! With only L. Nix at NG–you will play early and often
