I'd rather have quality depth at OLB than TE though. Also, we already have quality depth at TE, not so much at OLB

Don't know about that

If Niklas is truly out:

TEs returning: Koyack, Welch + Heuerman and there are no prospects we look good for

OLBs returning: Shembo, Spond, Councell, Williams, maybe Rabasa + Jaylon Smith and there are many prospects we are in good shape for

That's 2 and 1 commit but not looking like we get another vs 5 w/ more to come

I don't think we should move over Matuska or Mattingly but we dont have great depth at TE right now

I think we are done at recruiting tight ends until next year. You really only need 4 tight ends anyway

After watching Mattingly's film, I want him more than Anzalone even though they would likely play different LB spots. I think everyone in the ND nation would love to see both of them play for the Irish. BK and staff would take both if we were lucky enough to get commitments from them.

Off the cuff with quite a bit of knob creek single barrel. You should have seen the talent riding the pine or fighting for playing time under holtz in the good ole days. Just to mention a few ....the late great Rodney culver(to this day fastest guy to ever hit a hole), Alton maiden,Lyron cobbins, Melvin dansby,Oliver Gibson, Emmett Mosley,Renaldo Wynn. These fine gentleman were the quality depth we are about to have that is necessary to win it all. I believe 2 bcs championships in the next 5 years! Go Irish...

Haha seriously... I love the enthusiasm but let's win 9 games, or make a BCS bowl, before we're talking one title, let alone two in five years.

Props for getting a righteous fuel-up beofre the post, but keep in mind that even with all the talent Holtz stocked up, he only won (1) NC (2 if you count 1993) during his tenure, so (2) in the next (5) may be a tad overly optomistic...but a touch o' bourbon will do that to ya :eek:grin:

I still declare we won at least half the title in 93. What a travesty and a sham!

You see something in the highlight video that you just see enough of in so many HS vids. Snow flying. Although not alot of it, it just seemed cool. With so many of the highly touted kids coming from Cali, Tx, Fla, etc., it's good to see some flakes flying. He'd be just fine playing in SB. This kid would be a welcome addition to the squad.

Had Pete Bersich not dropped a game ending INT, we would probably have had number 2 under Holtz. Although Bersich wasn't responsible for the offensive ineptness in the first half of that game. Way to bring up 93 all over again........butthole ;-)

I like that he is versatile enough to play TE and LB. He is the exact type of big skill that Kelly covets. A little smaller but comparable to Niklas. Seal the deal baby! This really could be a stupid good June!

Per 247, Oregon visit "blew his mind." Was solid in the NFTC yesterday but obviously couldn't see his tackling ability in a camp setting.

#NotreDame linebacker target Danny Mattingly just rolled into registration for the #RivalsChallenge. He's wearing an Irish hat.

Nice.

Nice.

The hope here is that for 4 years he'll be wearing an Irish hat that sparkles in the sun.

This kid would be a big get in my opinion. Don't think I'm stepping out on a limb, but we have to reel in the kids that grew up fans of ND. Hunter Bivin, Mattingly, etc. Looking at LB recruiting for this year.... after Cox & M'Giovanni committed elsewhere, Randolph not visiting, and others favoring Florida, this kid is a big target.

Kid sounds like a huge Irish lean judging by the video interview he did with II today. I think he commits.
