    Looks like the Irish will add another commit today: a 6'4" 275 lb OL form Tennessee no less. These kids are usually hard to pull away from the vols.

    Red Sox might take one from the Vols as well. They drafted QB commit and SS/P prospect Casey Kelly with the last pick in the first round of the MLB draft yesterday..

    A first rounder drafted by the Red Sox along with a football scholarship to TN?? That kid has a tough decision ahead of him. Nice dilemma.

    An enviable position indeed. I hope the kid makes the choice that winds up being the best for him. I'd hate to see any kid miss out on the college experience (coeds! :D ) but a healthy signing bonus is a healthy signing bonus.

    Good pickup by the Irish, he's a terrific guard prospect, I hope Charlie takes at least 4 OL's this year including a couple of tackle prospects.

    The only discouraging thing is that USC continues to just reel in nothing but 5* or very high 4* players. They already have a tremendous class. We are getting a lot of great players and building depth but they are getting better players and building depth at the same time. I hope Charlie is able to coach up these players and develope them, I don't want to us mired in a "streak" like we had USC in for 13 years.

    Terry, our classes look pretty good. Can't worry about the other guys. Charlie has corralled some pretty good prospects from the West. Five stars Konrad Reuland, Jimmy Clausen, Ethan Johnson, Dayne Crist, Cierre Wood. Four stars Taylor Dever and Anthony McDonald. We did not get prospects in these numbers before.

    Locking this topic until Victor gets his e-mail situation fixed in hopes that the software does not deactivate his account. Will unlock as soon as he responds.
