From Apartment 5E on 129 West 81st Street to ND. DT Brandon Newman from Louisville, KY gave his long awaited commitment to the Irish coaching staff this weekend, in what continues to be an outstanding recruiting class this year for the Irish. In the minds of many, things couldn't be comming along any better if the script had been writen by Larry David himself. With his commitment Brandon becomes the 13th member of the '08 ND recruiting class, the 6th defensive commitment, and the 3rd on the DL. Brandon projects as the all important NT in ND's new 3-4 personnel scheme, and he chose Notre Dame over schools such as Alabama, Auburn, Michigan, Louisville, Stanford, and Kentucky.

LOL, notice the time tag on this story. I wrote it last night long before Brandon's commitment was official.

Considering the entire depth chart and the current recruits, WR is the most critical need for this year's class. As for the most important strategic aspect of future recruiting success, I believe that getting Forston or Sabino will have the most long-term impact, even though the current class is doing well at stocking their positions.

I agree IUB, I voted WR as well because I think that Floyd is our biggest target offensively and maybe overall (besides the obvious holdout for wishes like Forston, Sabino, and A. Brown.) Goshen thats pretty funny that you had that made up last night expecting a commit. Our D-line is in a place now where we can all exhale and know that we have soo many more monthes to recruit that 4th one and holdout for Forston on NSD. I have to ask though I thought I read that Newman had recently received an Alabama offer. Is this true and what other ones did he get besides Stanford, UK, Louisville, and Miss?

He will probably receive a Florida offer today....

Given our prowess at recruiting pretty well on the offensive side (year after year). I would feel more comfy with a couple more top recruits on the def. side of the ball.

I think its db because I think we are going to get floyd or baldwin if not both.
