this one had many turns and twists; agree, the staff stayed with it!

Get some up to date equipment. link does not work....I guess you need some batteries,,,,,

Gilmore has been a very good recruiter historically. BVG did a very good thing bringing him aboard and he is often lost in the shuffle when discussing the staff. ND has very good coaches in the trenches!

So one recruit takes us from 18th this morning to 8th in the team rankings.........seems like a big jump for one recruit but I know it bumped up our overall rating number by quite a bit..........I hope he is that good and stays healthy.........a great pickup for the staff

 

[perseverare]

not sure about 8; what do the composite team rankings show.

 

[mwjourney]

Should have clarified........Rivals only.........we were 18 before announcement and now we have jumped to 8

How long have you been an ND fan?

 

[Irish437]

How long have you been an ND fan?

Since Arrowhead Blue told Sandgruff to make a different name and go out trolling.

 

[coolirish9]

sorry pumpbeef but you're wolverines aren't loaded with elite players at LB and would've taken hayes in a heartbeat if they had a chance

 

[IRISH_FRIAR]

Maybe you are the one that needs up to date equipment because the link worked fine for me.

 

[Irish Grandeur]

Great pick up...GO IRISH!!!

Very creative, but weird too, because it is such a big production. Is this sort of thing done often these days? Almost makes me long for the old cap switcheroo trick, which I used to think was obnoxious, but which now seems almost quaint.

I'm as old school as it gets but I can appreciate his announcement video. That was actually quite entertaining and, Lord knows how much it cost to produce. Seems like a RKG to me.

 

[irish4life888]

Wow, what a well spoken young man. He seems incredibly smart and well rounded. Definitely ND material. I'm a Hays fan leaving football out of the equation!

 

[Nocalirish]

Getting a kid like this from Mich's backyard is very impressive. FU khaki pants.
