'08 KS LB Arthur Brown (Miami Verbal) - Page 7 - Notre Dame Football Discussion

I think we have 9-10 spots left but no means give up a elite talent. I think we just wasted a scholarship on Brown. I just do not see him coming to ND. I know he a midwest kid. He's a great linebacker I would love to have him but I just don't see the evidence that he will end up in South Bend.

with O H coming on board I now am open to any possibilities...we are putting together a National Championship team...elite players want to play with elite players...and we have a heck of a lot of momentum going folks

GG had the same numbers I'm thinking. We have 14 right now. Say we have a transfer, I'll think we'll entertain up to 9 more spots for this year's class. Anymore and we are running dangerously thin on scholarships for next year's recruiting class.

It's all a risk/reward calculation. If you have a 10% chance of getting the best LB in the country, role the dice. There are plenty of other elite players that ND has not offered because they just don't fit. Weis and CB have talked to Brown and must believe that they have a shot.

Get him and his parents on the golf cart with Charlie and everything can change. Just ask Omar.

It's not a matter of wasting a scholarship offer on Brown. We hold an offer for him and fill our class assuming he does not come. If he comes, we don't give a 5th year to someone or maybe recommend a transfer (I hate saying that).

He's not coming. He came out with his top three schools-Oklahoma, Miami, and USC.

Where did you hear that? I don't doubt it, but hearing him talk at the Nike camp made it seem like he, very recently, had a longer list which was going to take a little time to reduce.
