Yet there isn&#8217;t a huge worry about what comes next. Even with Riddick&#8217;s surprising, hard charging senior season and Wood&#8217;s three seasons in (and around) the starting lineup, there&#8217;s every belief&#8230;<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=irish.nbcsports.com&#038;blog=15933026&#038;post=174515&#038;subd=nbcirish&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

The blue-chip defensive lineman, who made the dramatic decision to sign with Notre Dame on Signing Day, is reportedly having some second thoughts on that commitment. What that entails – or if it’s actually true – is anyone’s guess.
