    I read the article yesterday too. Seems everyone has something good to say about Kelly and it just gives me an uneasy feeling for some reason. Maybe I just got use to everyone being so critical of Weis I don't know how to take good news. <br/>

    All I can say is I like what I've seen so far but it's gonna take some wins to get me real excited. Talk is real cheap and we've heard way to much of it over the past few years from ND coaches. We need to see something positive on the field for a change. <E>8)</E></r>

    I see that we lost a DB this week to some academic issue. Kelly has moved Barry Gallup to DB, he said in his press conference that a couple of offensive guys were going to have to move to defense with the one kid leaving school for USF, the kid going on his Mormon Mission, and now EJ Banks not being available.

    I wonder if Dieon Walker can play DB, he sure hasn't made a dent in the WR depth chart. I thought that kid would be a great WR. Don't know if he's just not that good, or what.

    Dieon Walker

    <t>As far as Dieon Walker I feel the same as you. I thought he would have shown a lot more by this time but just isn't the case. I do remember some of the recruiting experts saying the talent he played against in HS wasn't a very high level. <br/>

    I'm noticing a lot of differences in the practices ND has had thus far but couldn't help also notice that Kelly hasn't followed previous coaches philosophy about not letting freshmen talk to the media until after the first game. I watched the Video on Prince Shemo today.</t>
