'08 OH S Dan McCarthy (Signed LOI to ND) - Page 21 - Notre Dame Football Discussion

I could be wrong, but I was pretty sure that in Holtz's later years we had a full class and then Jevon Kearse decided to commit. Holtz told him that we didn't have any space left in the class for him, and that he had to go elsewhere.

As for Weis not making that mistake...It wasn't really a mistake on anyone's part except for Kearse. ex.) Let's say half a dozen more guys commit and we now have no room left for any players. Well, come signing day, five star recruit Joe Shmoe decides he wants to play for the Irish. Weis can't tell a guy already committed that he has to find a new schoo to make room for Joe. (Well, he technically could, but he wouldn't.) He would wish Joe the best and tell him to find a different school.

Those are the kinds of kids we need to make this offense explode (in a good way), and the ones that we have been lacking the past few years.

i was just using mustain as an example, not saying im dissapointed we missed him or anything. im just saying it seems like the kearse thing could happen to weis too, just because the way recruiting is

Personally, I'll take a Lou Holtz/Jevon Kearse mishap over a Tyrone Willingham/"Would someone PLEASE commit to me?!?!" any day of the week. We'd all love to find the balancing point, but if you gotta pick one or the other, I'll take a class that fills up too quickly over one that doesn't materialize at all. Maybe a bit of an apples to oranges comparison, but there might be some link between the philosophies behind it.

**Fishin'_Irish** · 07-09-2007, 02:00 AM

Yeah. When you get to thinking about it, the Jevon Kearse thing kicks ass, in a way. Unless the class is full of crappy players, which ours isn't.
