I'm from MD...let me say that McDonogh isn't really a football school.

Some background on the mystery man. Clelland is also a High School heavyweight wrestler and baseball player which may somewhat explain the strength issue, as he tries to maintain his quickness for those 2 sports. He is supposed to be a skinny 265, and apparently will be able to carry 300 lbs. with no problem. CW & company must have seen the same thing in the kid, that he will have no problem putting on weight and adding strength, otherwise, I am sure he would not have received an OL offer.

His older brother was an OL at Northwestern from 1997-2001, and is an assistant coach at Lane's High School. They are supposed to travel together to visit ND & Michigan the end of this month. Currently, his only other offer is from Maryland, but he is supposedly getting recruited by USC and Nebraska in addition to Michigan and a bunch of ACC schools. However, with there being so little info available on this recruit, the list of schools that they say are recruiting him may be getting inflated in order to increase his stock. Anyway, FWIW, it appears that ND has a really good shot at him.

Clelland will be visiting ND this weekend just in time for some of the Spring Practice sessions. He currently lists ND as his top choice, but is nowhere near making a final decision.

Clelland visited ND & Michigan this weekend. There was a free Irish Eyes story about Clelland's visit to South Bend, but they took it down about 5 minutes after it was posted. Clelland apparently did the reverse trip of Trevor Robinson as he went to Michigan on Friday, and Notre Dame on Saturday. Clelland still sounds promising for ND, although he did pick up an offer from Michigan on Friday, and according to the GBW rag, he now lists ND & Michigan as his Top 2. His only other offers are from Maryland and Nebraska.

He should just commit to us now and get it over with, I guess it's hard for me to understand people weighing their options and not bowing down to the greatness of Notre Dame.

Amen Irish Knight - why can't all ND recruits think like that :P

In a recent "stunning" development Lane picked up an offer from Florida as well as Florida St.

Lane's current top three consists of Michigan, Notre Dame, and Florida.
