We, the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame, are giving you a full scholarship to play tight end for us! You're a 4-Star recruit and could have signed anywhere, but we sacrficed time, money, and effort to bring you here! Welcome!" "Great! But hey, I'm gonna quit after a year to focus on building bridges." Go to hell, Joey Hiban.

I think he will be better suited in this system. And I don't want to talk about Chris Donald. That AA game was kick in the junk that just wouldn't end

The reason they decommitted was because they'd heard Minter was on the way out... For those committing, they are asked to tell who they'd verbal to earlier in the week, but then switched after finding out the news... To be quite honest, I trade Donald, Martin, Edwards, and Trattou for Corwin Brown any day of the week... Minter was absolutely horrible... Give it a year or two and we'll have a defense that can actually contend...

And I never said anything about Vernaglia not being good this year... I'd been calling for him to get more playing time...

So what's the word on Hiben?

I am pretty sure that Hiben transferred back to Minnesota, maybe to be closer to home. Either way, he isn't playing football any more.

Good start to recruiting so far...I'd say we are in a much better position this year then any other time in the Weis era... Flynn, any more info on these last 2...I havn't heard or seen much on them, other than that they verballed.

Undrafted Rookie Group: Members Posts: 773 Member No.: 124 Joined: 4-April 06	Don't know anything about the other two commits, but Cwynar is a good get. He should be a 4 star. Any word on how Michael Floyd's trip to ND went?

Undrafted Rookie Group: Members Posts: 93 Member No.: 249 Joined: 24-February 07	Havn't heard anything much about Floyd visiting since his unofficial in the fall. He did tell Irish Eyes.com that ND is in his top 5

Loomis	Posted: Mar 6 2007, 05:09 PM
Undrafted Rookie Group: Members Posts: 93 Member No.: 249 Joined: 24-February 07	When ND first started recruiting little 'poz I figured we had no chance cause of who his brother is, but the more the more I believe we have a real good shot at him.... And I know all about those PSU people, I'm an ND diehard that has been born and raised in PA....you just can't escape people's JoePa boners around these parts

Undrafted Rookie Group: Members Posts: 773 Member No.: 124 Joined: 4-April 06	My guess with Floyd is that it comes down to Notre Dame, Minnesota, and Ohio St., in that order. I would be shocked if he went anywhere else.

That's my feeling's also...He said he "grew up cheering for Notre Dame" so that always is helpful in recruiting...Those were among the schools he listed in his top 5 to Irish Eyes
