    Kelly has certainly gone out and rebuilt this defense. He has a stable staff unlike Charlie who had 3 DCoord in 5 years and never could decide what to do. I guess we will find out this year if the end of the season improvement meant that we do have a good DCoord who has a real plan and who has good coaches who can teach and develope players. If our defense is as good as I think it might, then Diaco will be a "rising" star as a DCoord. I hope we can keep him for a few more years.

    <t>Looks like ND picked up a quality RB last night as Will Mahone from Ohio gave his verbal. Looks like Mom got her way on this one. Most recruiting services including rivals and Scout have him as a 4*. Had offers from Tenn, Penn St., Mich St., etc. <br/>

    I still think we need one more good RB to go with this class.</t>

    If we pick up another one, George Atkinson could be moved into the slot. Mahone is a great pick up.
    :D

    Yep, I like it. Moving Atkinson to the slot makes sense. After the Purdue game the RB position should look a lot more attractive to any RB recruit. I'm betting Kelly will be able to grab at least one more for this class.</t>
