Martin and Watt absolutely, positively must come back next year or we are going to have serious OL depth issues. Also, who the hell is going to play center if Hegarty can't come back? Harrell? Sheesh.... and what if he gets injured?

cite?

Can see that either way, but we've already got a full class of O linemen, and taking more than that is a logjam waiting to happen. I'd hope we can convince Martin and Watt to stick around and save the spot for next year. Would think the coaches already have an idea of their intentions, right?

Terrible TERRIBLE news. Just threw a wet blanket over all the other good recruiting vibes. Losing Hegarty would be a huge blow to our offense in 2013.

i think we may have 6 spots but with limited spots next year, this staff would feel comfortable with taking 4 more in the final month and pass those two off til next year... i base this off the fact i dont think we get 6 more people to commit to us anyways and we seem to be focusing in on a certain 4 main targets with likely to highly likely possibilites of signing up (AQM, Red, Bryant, Vanderdoes)... Folston seems to have cooled and tread was a far shot to begin with

Unfortunately, Vanderdoes committing to ND is anything but likely

His visit is even in doubt apparently. USC is pushing hard for his visit to LA to be his last.
