His game isn't making alot of tackles, rather clogging up the middle and I though he held his ground well in the game. I seen somewhere he was compared to Jerry Ball. I liked that comparison.

Don't forget, he was playing in a 4-3 as opposed to his accustomed to 3-4. Big differance in the style of DL play.

I totally agree. ND needs a "wall" in the middle of the line to slow the straight forward rush. The defensive speed and athleticism @ DE and LB is greatly improving to take away the corners! With guys like Ian, Hafis and Brandon clogging the middle, I think that they'll get this accomplished!

He did recieve his 4th star from rivals, and moved up to the 22nd rank DT.

I read that he's working out with a personal trainer until he reports to ND.

Jody Demling - Recruiting

By the way, I meant to post an update on Pleasure Ridge Park defensive lineman Brandon Newman earlier in the week but I forgot.

I saw Brandon at the first round of the LIT and had a chance to speak with him.

Newman said he had a blast at the recent U.S. Army All-American Bowl and after a bit at the event he knew that he "belonged there" with the other top players.

I asked Newman if other schools were continuing to recruit him. He committed to Notre Dame last spring and has stuck with that decision.

Newman said UK coach Rich Brooks was at PRP recently but that he wouldn't meet with the coach because "I know I made the right decision."

He'll sign with the Fighting Irish on Feb. 6.
