  haha, its for real. I dvr'd the Lott Impact Award show and before they announced the winner the 3 underclassman finalists were each asked their plans for next year. Hightower and Kuechly both said they needed to sit down and talk to their families. Te'o then said he talked to his parents the night before and figured out what he was going to do. He said his sister told him it was his dream to play in the NFL so that's what he should do. (I felt like I had just been kicked in the balls at this point) Te'o then told his sister that playing in the NFL is one of his goals. His dream is to reach and impact as many people as he possibly can and that he wasn't done doing that at Notre Dame and he would return. He got a pretty big ovation and a fist bump from Kuechly. I definitely wasn't expecting that kind of answer from him when it was his turn.

  The news of Te'o coming back has given me a huge sports boner.

  A couple weeks ago the word around the island was that he was going to the nfl but that his mother was pushing him to get his degree. Not too many Hawaiian kids make it off the island and then make it. And believe me, most of them I'm surprised made it out of junior high, very uneducated!!! So good for him, and nd.

  Great new about Te'o. I know I said this last year but I'm already getting a little excited for next season.

  short interview with Te'o after he got back from Cali.

  Ronnie Stanley announcing today at 2...
• Tobias Fünke

  

  Ronnie Stanley is, in my opinion, the best OL fit for Notre Dame of this class and thus the best OL commitment since James.
  
  So it makes sense that Stanley has been on record saying that Notre Dame has recruited him the hardest since...ever. Kelly definitely sees a huge and immensely athletic OT here. Great, great pickup.
  
  Does he also desire to play basketball too?

  Stanley is Irish

  He has these rankings despite not being able to play his senior year. It has cost him a few spots.

  Darby ran an electronically-timed 4.31 40m. He also has a Junior World Record in Track. He has truly elite speed.

  Baratti was all-district in Texas as a TE, just shows how versatile he is. He also played QB for his HS. He projects as a S or OLB.

  Would be awesome, but I think that ship has sailed. Cal is going to clean up here shortly.
