FROM THE MOUTH OF MICHAEL FLOYD: He said that Notre Dame are first on his list, "I've more visits to Notre Dame than any other school to this point", said Floyd. "I love the tradition, the people, and the coaching staff. I would also really like to play for Coach Charlie Weis," Floyd told KStateFans.com

This is good to read. But, ND needs a bigtime stud receiver -- one that defenses have to account for on every play. I think we've got a lot of nice possession receivers, or speedy little guys who can run after the catch, but we don't have that one guy who can do it all. I want a 6-5 guy who can bust through the bump on the line, run a 20-yard route in like 2 seconds, stop on a dime, pull down an acrobatic catch, stop defenders in their tracks with a quick move, and then kick in that 4.3 or 4.4 speed and outrun everyone to the endzone. Where is that guy? Is Floyd that guy? I've seen a little film on him and thought he was good, but he didn't leave me feeling like he was THAT guy. Who are the great wideouts in this class? It seems like it shouldn't be that hard to recruit WRs at ND these days, especially with CW as coach and JC as the QB.

He's going to be in everybodies top 5 recievers list at least in possibly the best WR class ever.

GoIrish, you are describing Jerry Rice and Terrel Owens. There are VERY, VERY few receivers that can do that..ever in college.

I really hope we get this guy. Go Irish!

haha. Those guys played in college too. If memory serves, they both went to small schools, partly because none of the big time programs discovered them. I just want us to go find this year's Rice or Owens so they play for the Irish instead of some Div II school. too much to ask? Calvin Johnson comes to mind. If he would have been in CW's offense with Quinn throwing to him, can you imagine the damage he would have done. He was pretty darn good with a bad QB. I'm just saying, I would think it would be easier to attract top tier QBs in our offense.
