Notre Dame Football 2011: The Brian Kelly Era...Ascends?

• Tobias Fünke

  

  Justin Trattou - Florida 2007
  Omar Hunter - Florida 2008
  Chris Martin - California 2010
  Stephen Tuitt - Georgia Tech 2011
  
  Oh those guys....Tuitt is the easiest one to lose. The other classes didn't have the DL strength.

  Good read on young "impact" players for 2011:

  It's never too early to start watching the class of 2012.
  
  ....also, apparently there is a meeting with Tuitt and his mother (a gigantic Notre Dame fan) coming up. Something smells fishy about Tuitt's high school coach (a Georgia Tech fan).

  Bobby D just landed in ATL.
• Tobias Fünke

  

  ....and lotz is on que, of course. Let's hope Diaco has more magic for Notre Dame up his sleeve.
• karen lotz

  

  "Tuitt's high school coach really wants Tuitt at GT and has been in his ear about GT the whole time. But Tuitt's mom is more like Alice Lynch and wants her son to go to ND. Diaco is on his way to Atlanta to have a talk with him at his house set up by the mom."

  From Scout.

  Exactly. Fuck that HS coach. Can't some ND alumnus/almumna donate a bunch of money to that HS to get that coach fired and/or accused of sexual harassment?

  lol.
  
  
  Toby, I just registered at Irish Envy a couple of days ago but I can't post or anything. I never got the activation email from them but the address is correct in my profile etc. Did you have any issues when you signed up?
  
  
  Edit: Nevermind, it was marked as spam by gmail and was buried.
• Hamp89

  Fellas, I'm also registered on Irish Envy and there are rumors that Tuitt recommitted..
  
  Edit: It's confirmed!!

  Excellent. Bob Diaco is a recruiting machine.

  EDIT: didn't see your post hamp, sorry
• sherm03

  

  Bob Diaco is an absolute BEAST!!!!!
• karen lotz

  

  Wow unreal. Like I said, Diaco is the man.
  
  
  Kelly was also at his house tonight, as were Martin and Elston.

  "He is done with recruiting," Tamara Tuitt said Wed night.The DE from Monroe, Ga., is ranked as the No. 22 player nationally by Rivals.com.
  

  Let's hope that is true. NSD really needs to get here fast.
• karen lotz

  

  Diaco made him an offer he couldn't refuse.
• Tobias Fünke

  

  I'm pretty sure that means one of two things. 1) He's going to see the field immediately even though he's not an EE, and/or 2) a Notre Dame degree. hahah
  
  Honestly I don't know anyone who could refuse either.
• Tobias Fünke

  

  Are you guys going to spill the avatars that you use on Irishenvy or am I going to have to put my detective hat on?
  
  
• rock_knutne

  Nice work by BK and Diaco on getting Tuiit back to ND. These guys can recruit!
• killer_ewok

  

  Out-fucking-standing.

  I haven't posted yet, but mine is of an early mascot at ND.

  ND-OSU hockey this Friday and Saturday...who is getting drunk and going? This guy.
  
  Kelly stopped by a LB in California's house...but he'd only be a walk-on. He's showing a lot of love to a walk-on because he's Troy Niklas' buddy. I guess they must be high on him, he would make a terrific spread offense tackle.
  
  Niklas + Huggins = one incredible class.
  
  Lynch only got a five-star ranking from Scout. Rivals and ESPN kept him at four stars. Malarkey.

  How is that? I thought it was only possible for people who had declared but hadn't hired an agent to say they were going back to school?

  I hope to God he doesn't change his mind, Floyd is a huge key to ND having over the top offensive success next year. Don't do it Michael!!!!!
• karen lotz

  

  Kelly's presser is of the season wrap up variety and Floyd...
