After this weekend's disastrous game aginst USC many Notre Dame fans were left with mixed feelings of anger, disappointment, and embarrassment. It just basically put everyone in an apathetic or surly mood. But don't get too down Irish fans, and for those that want to fire Charlie Weis you better think again because the Irish spirits were uplifted this evening when they learned that Notre Dame had picked up a verbal commitment from one of their most important recruiting targets of the year. It came from
Michael Floyd, a 6'3" 195lbs game breaking, big play reciever from St. Paul, Minnesota. Michael attends Cretin-Derham Hall, which has usually proved of late to be a pipeline school for Notre Dame, but this one looked as if it was going to be a battle to the end with Ohio State, Minnesota, Michigan, and Florida as the main competition. With his verbal commitment Michael becomes the 20th member of the Irish's number one recruiting class, and he adds big play ability to a much needed position of need. Michael mentioned that one of the reason's he went ahead and commited is because he was able to get to know more of the guys in this year's class, and from I've heard RJ Blanton and his mom were working on him pretty hard this weekend as well as many other recuits.
