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

Still will fill a big need after Haynes signed with OSU in February. He is the #1 long snapper in the country and is pretty good sized. 6'4" 230. Was offered today and committed on the spot. -

Waiting to see Hendrix on this next series. But if I had to rank based on what I've seen so far...
1. Rees
2. Crist
3. Golson/Hendrix -

Eh, Rees had some bad throws as well. Crist was hurt but WRs running the wrong routes a few times. Neither has been that impressive. Also, not having Floyd available is having an impact.

Defense is doing a pretty good job of getting to the ball in numbers.
-
sherm03
I agree. The WRs are struggling big time in this game.
The defense has impressed me quite a bit. And this is without Manti. It will be a really solid defensive unit this fall. -

I'd think Golson has moved ahead of Hendrix already lol. I'd be ok with Crist starting and Golson getting some snaps too when they open up this fall.

Welch and Golson look pretty good IMO. -

Yes. Golson=arm strength, accuracy, mobility. Only negative is lack of experience. -

Yep...Hendrix better have a huge second half...or he will most definitely be 4th on the depth chart. -

Damn, Lynch trying to ensure that Hendrix won't be able to beat out Golson...
I like Toma on those crossing routes, he has a little bit of shake to him. -

Golson = grown man. -

Lynch is a fuckin' demon out there.

Aaron Lynch is indeed BEAST.

Hendrix! HAHA

Great run by Hendrix. I guess I shouldn't put a fork in him just yet...
-
Tobias Fünke
hahah I had to rewind that. I wasn't sure it was Lynch. That was incredible.
I think Hendrix has looked fine given the scenario. He was great in the last drive of the first half too. He's a gamer.
Today: Golson = Hendrix > Rees = Crist. -
karen lotz
Yeah Hendrix has definitely started playing better after he settled in.
-
sherm03
Hendrix just went ahead of Golson in my book.
-
Tobias Fünke
They've both looked very impressive, it's apparent Golson is 18 though. He will be dynamite.
I still like Hendrix in 2011. -
sherm03
Golson just looked ridiculous in this series!
Good Lord...this is crazy! -

Overall a pretty good day. Got to see some guys make some plays. Nix and Lynch looked good on defense and Golson and Hendrix both had their moments along with Welch, Toma, and Riddick. No injuries other than Hafis Williams missing a few plays when his ankle got rolled up on. Add in a few more highly rated recruits and I'd say the day was a success. Now if only Versus was so impressed with Tom Hammond that they sign him to a deal that will only allow him to call Mountain West games.
My favorite comment of the day was when he asked if Luke Massa came down with an interception later in the game. Uh no Tom, he is a WR. -
Tobias Fünke
Nix has a tremendous bullrush but I wonder about his agility. Either way I see him clogging up gaps this fall.

LOL#NotreDame running back Cierre Wood on blocking Louis Nix: "It hurt. It hurt a lot. That’s my first and last time doing that. -
Tobias Fünke
I hate the aspect about recruiting where five minutes after a commitment I am wondering who the next one will be. I am expecting one or two within the next week or so, one will probably be Maty Mauk.
-
karen lotz
I saw there was supposed to be one more commit today. Not sure who though but Mauk wouldn't surprise me.
