Whether he flips or not (I think he does) shows how Kelly & Co. are changing the recruiting landscape. It looks the staff has changed the way elite prospects view Notre Dame, of course winning helps do that.

When Kelly first got here he had a great track record of turning lowly programs into winners. There was a vision he was selling about future success. A 5 minute plan, not a question of if but when etc etc. There have been ups and downs both on the field and on the recruiting trail. Think about this, the first year could not have started out any worse than it did. Losing to Navy, Tulsa, both Michigan's, I mean are you serious. On the other hand it couldn't have ended any better! 4 straight wins and that monkey off our back of beating USC at their house! Then their was momentum on the trail with Lynch(I know some get upset but I'm still glad we had him for a year, was very fun to watch), Tuitt, and Ishaq! Onto year 2! Same results you say? Not hardly, same record but the flip side is team growth and young depth and Kelly got on 3 occasions to keep Sr stars that we desperately needed for growing the younger guys with Floyd, Te'o, and Eifert! Then reaped in Davonte' Neal after signing day. Not to mention all the buzz around the program from guys like Armstead among others. Not everything is gonna work out but you are noticing the staffs growth. Kelly and his crew are winning games on the field and on the trail! Kelly went back to what got him here! He's a players coach again! To me if he hadn't done this, the foundation he has built over the last 2 years may have gone for not. Now we are 6-0 and talking about the possibility of flipping a couple studs from our biggest rival! You couldn't write this stuff! Anyways this really wasn't directed at you as much as your post inspired it

. It's been a long time coming though and this stuff runs through my head and I wanted to say it before my head exploded! Lol

It's only a matter of time before Kelly gets one of his QB's to execute like he got Tony Pike and Zach Collaros to execute at UC. Once that happens, the only program that can stop Notre Dame is Notre Dame. And it looks like Kelly has solved that problem from last year to this year as well...

Whether it's Golson, Kiel, Rees, Hendrix, Zaire, or someone we don't know about yet, once a QB 'gets it,' Kelly's offense is nearly ustoppable. If you aren't getting burnt by deep, accurate throws and good route running, you're getting shreaded by screens and big-chunk runs underneath. He's already got the championship D working, and he's got the star power... the final piece is the QB. Once someone has a coming out party (God I hope it's Golson against at Oklahoma), the sleeping giant will officially be awake.

Kiffin wants to bring John Goodman to USC for a 6th year to fair catch punts for the Trojs

Talk smack all you want but the boy has made some clutch grabs this year. Goodman for President!!!!

CurtisCandy · Oct 16, 2012

^ This!

Goodman has been really clutch for us a couple of times this year.

Golden Glory · Oct 22, 2012

He did a interview on ESPN and said his verbal commitment to USC is soft and will take an official to Washington in a couple of weeks.
He had glowing things to say about ND, their tradition, campus and the game.

Great stuff. We need him.

TheTurningPoint · Oct 22, 2012

He didnt take his sc visit this week where all the other commits were there. His girl had a dance buuuuuut him not there is a good thing either way!

West Coast Domer · Oct 22, 2012

To get him out of USC 's backyard would be huge!....I can dig it

aubeirish · Oct 23, 2012

My favourite safety recruit. Come on down Max.

The other thing that stood out to me in the interview when asked about his relationship to Cravens relative to USC, Max said they talk daily and even if he didn't go to USC he believed they would still have a strong relationship. This from a USC reporter.

Him mentioning not going to USC was telling when talking to a USC reporter. He's clearly not worried about the talk of Kiffen pulling his scholly if that is even the case. Or making the USC fan base feel secure about his commitment.

yankeeND · Oct 23, 2012

I can't even begin to describe how amazing this would be! Definetly sounds favorable for us!

GBdomer · Oct 23, 2012

My favorite recruit in this class always was. Never thought we had a chance now that we do. My favorite last year was Nelly so I can't get to excited yet.

Golden Glory · Oct 23, 2012

Is he looking to early entry?

I couldn't find his measurables and times listed at the opening so it doesn't look like he attended. Is there any camps listed where he was in attendance with his 40 time and height and weight?

RuntheBall · Oct 23, 2012

Why am I up so late, checking this thread? I have to be up in 2.5 hours. And I "waste" my sleep checking this thread.

At least its good news!

He would really be another amazing defensive addition. Our defense will be sick if we get/ hold onto these guys and they develop as some of the younger guys on the team have!

no

Hes about 6'2 190. Runs mid 4.5's. Could play safety or WR.

The perception that we are not going to take a safety in this cycle unless he's an elite prospect and that it is no longer a likely scenario just got blown out the window.

In the immortal words of Al Davis, "just win baby"*.

*Doubly so against the Condoms. GO IRISH!

ThePiombino · Oct 23, 2012

Would this keep Shumate at CB? That dude needs to see the field one way or another.

Buster Bluth · Oct 23, 2012

I doubt it. But there are two safety positions. Plus he's probably goibg to be a stud nickel DB as a sophomore anyway.

True. He seems to be a good fit for that "star" position.

That's because he's starting to see what Kiffin is doing to other recruits and he knows he has an offer from the Irish. He's in a good psition at this time and I think we are as well.

Irishman77 · Oct 23, 2012

I am fully aware of how elite he is and i am a defensive guy, BUT....if we miss on treadwell and the ga wr, i would entertain the idea of him at wr. His tape is jaw dropping on offense too. I would just love to have this difference maker period!

Emcee77 · Oct 23, 2012

When I watch his tape I see Jamoris Slaughter. I want him on D fo sho.

arrowryan · Oct 23, 2012

He needs to be on defense, no question about that

aubeirish · Oct 23, 2012

Very well spoken kid btw. He looks like an Irish commit. One can only pray.
