lol, I will never believe that.

I'm confident we're still in the lead for Martin.

I know this is a i heard from someone who heard and so on, but i really hope its not indication of where he plans on going.

This topic reminds me of the Deonte Thompson thread over at Domer Domain. While the information may be credible, doubt will still be present since it came from a "friend-of-a-friend" type situation.

While I agree Coaches are supposed to be Coaches not friends if it is true and Martin does head to OSU this class isn't the monumental class that I thought it was going to be. Obviously it will still be very good but after the Clausen verbal I thought the floodgates were going to open.

Yeah I have to agree. This class is a let down so far. I hope this picks up soon.

Have patience...it's early yet.

USC had very few recruits this time last year.

We will end up with a top10 class...have no doubt

If we land Benn, Martez Wilson, Ben Martin (and I firmly believe we will), Ryan Miller, Michael Williams or Marcus Gilchrist, Greg Little, Harrison Smith, Golden Tate (if we offer), Dailey (if we can offer), and Will Blackwell, this will be an incredibly successful class.

As things stand, we're in the lead for every one of those names I mentioned, with only three close exceptions: Gilchrist, Martez Wilson (but Miami has to offer), and maybe Harrison Smith. Smith is in Tennessee, so we'll just have to see how that works out.

I think the running back situation is a little over-hyped. We won't need to get one this year if we can find a truly elite recruit in next year's class. If Weis can go out and find a prospect of that caliber this year and recruit him in the same fashion as Jimmy Clausen, it can be done.

I think Toryan Smith will prove to be our future MLB (and a damn good one), while guys like Martez Wilson and Nagel can play on the outside. I saw Nagel's film last night and liked what I saw. I think he's a lot better than he's given credit for. He might be an all-american one day.

How many da osu fans would have something nice to say about coach Weis? For all we know is this guy is talking trash while bashing ND and Weis. If that was said, then we should have heard more about this somewhere else and not be in Martin’s top two. Right now we have some great recruits with more to come. Two years ago we would have been happy at the end of the season to get the talent that we already have said they are coming to ND. Weis appears to be working when some of the guys make a verbal to ND public, so how much do we really know until February, which is a very long way off.
