Notre Dame's decision could lead to struggles in convincing future Chicago Public League recruits to attend the South Bend school.
"The coaches (of the CPL) are a tight-knit group so if one of them feels slighted, it could have an effect down the road," Rivals.com national recruiting analyst Jeremy Crabtree said. "Notre Dame could say that it is our policy and how we do it with all our kids.
"... It'll be all right but maybe will turn one or two guys off or some coaches off against them, it might. But it is left to be determined what will happen."
Weis said Jones' departure will not change how he recruits quarterbacks.
Notre Dame has Californian Dayne Crist committed for the class of 2008 and Weis said he'll recruit one quarterback in 2009. He also said if he does look at a second quarterback in a class, he will have it be a person who would also be willing to play another position.

Yikes. Once again there's nothing specific here so take it FWIW, but this quote does make me worry a bit - not necessarily for this year, but for the status of the "pipeline" down the road. Corwin's been a miracle-worker so far, though ...
