But as for the others, there are probably three guys that we genuinely had to go to work on to get on board: 1. Darius Fleming - His Dad didn't even like ND from the get go, but after Corwin worked his magic, his Dad said if there were any one school to pledge to early for Darius, it'd be Notre Dame (talk about turn around). 2. Omar Hunter - We all know how he was a huge Wolverine fan growing up. Some of the credit should go to his HS coach, for telling him to wait it out a bit and to visit certain campuses, but we don't get Omar if we still have Rick Minter, period. 3. Robert Blanton - If he wasn't going to be a Wolverine, he would have been a Hokie had it not been Corwin on the phone with Blanton. His stepdad keeps saying that Corwin hands down out-recruited everyone else. Now first, notice that all three of these recruits come from different levels on the defense. One is a LB, one is a DL, and one is a DB. Translation? Corwin isn't just a one trick pony that caters to DB's due to his previous experiences. That in mind, who are the defensive commits that have the most hype surrounding them? You're probably looking at Fleming, Hunter, Blanton, and Anthony McDonald if you're looking for hype. Maybe Cwynar if you talk to a Midwestern guy. My point being? Corwin is hitting home runs with the kids that matter most - the recruits that can turn things around on defense. |

--------I mean think about it...If we didn't have CB and Flemings dad disliked ND alot, then Darius could've been our opponet for the next 4 years(USC.) Omar could've suited up in maize & blue. Blanton in Maize & blue and the 10000 other prospects we took from Michigan. | |
