Glad to hear that. It was never clear here how severe the injury was. Good to know he’s on the way back.

Now we got them its time for them to meet Longo and then Kelly & staff need to develop them and push them to be as good as advertised!

Beautiful day. When was the last time ND got 4 5 star recruits. Even better we poached to 5 stars from USC thanks Kiffin. He should be USC coach for life. The tide got 4 as well. It’s on and we are coming for them.

We got the greatest offensive line class maybe in history coupled with 2 elite rb’s, the best safety, DT, LB in the nation. Some stout receivers and tight ends can you say depth. On top of that these kids never wavered for the most part and are a cohesive group and they have not even put on the pads yet. I am excited ND is building something special. IRISH MOB 13 has the potential to go down as one of the greatest classes of all time. Work hard boys and maximize your potential on and off the field.

Go Irish.

Nude thanks for asking….he’s proverbially dancing around the family room with me in celebration of this signed recruiting class!

Headline: Progressing much more quickly than any of his doctors expected…. Medical dangers are essentially behind us.

Now for the long, tedious, and frustrating work of recovering/re-building his cognitive skills (comprehension, reading speed, word memory, analysis, planning, organizing, etc). He had to delay the spring semester of his senior year – as we all expected.

We have him doing outpatient rehab in a top notch facility here in the Boston area. His spirits, determination, and work ethic are excellent. Gotta keep up the positive attitude.

Like an athlete recovering from an injury and career hiccup.

Does anyone else remember Charlie’s first recruited class?? We’ve come a long way, BABY!

just heard the same news…..REJOICE!!!!!

This is the very best recruiting class that I can remember. Not just in terms of *s; but more so the balance of Offensive and Defense and filling key positions of need.

I could care less what the so called recruiting experts say, this IS the #1 recruiting class in college football.

This should be quite interesting with the two having drastically different styles. Hopefully they don’t have a problem getting to the hole quick because it closes fast and them DL, LBs, and DBs close much quicker and hit harder than they have been used too.

Hopefully a great tandem back field to an impressive Irishmob clas.

Bryant is rated #2 rb in country with offers to big time sec schools, how is he seen as a backup? I don’t see anyone but you thinking he is a career backup as any school. I have never seen a positive post from you and doubt ur an ND fan. If you are then it sucks being you cus you have no faith. Pick another team.

Wow. Seems to be worth waiting for. We needed the lightning to Bryant’s thunder. This will be a good one two punch for the next couple of years.

Great post dick! Problem is I’ve heard Kelly doesn’t want any issue with special teams. Prefers a touchback on the KO and fair catch on the PR. We will not see any upgrade on ST as long as Kelly is coach. He has gotten very conservative since the Tulsa/USF disasters.

Let’s be honest these two RBs are coming north because they were looked at as career #2 backs with SEC teams. They were insurance options for the southern schools. I’d rather play at ND being número uno over playing as s back up forever.

Will the bozo special teams coach put some decent blockers in front of them and be able to utilize these guys at PR/KR?

I agree with everything you said, but maybe you should use twitter, I’m not too confident he reads this blog. Ha.

Getting 2 of the best RB’s from the state of Florida is shocking. ND is real on the recruiting trail.

Keith. Was the comment about a “late flirtation with Auburn” just a reference to the events of recent weeks or to the delay in signing today? Were there 2nd thoughts as late as today?

Not that it matters. He’s Irish now and a great addition.
