The closing chapter of the Mustain saga

[Irish Envy]

And he appears to have been enamored of Notre Dame and Fighting Irish coach Charile Weiss. It seems he made the Arkansas commitment with his heart, then started listening to his head about Notre Dame. Comparing the success, the flashy offense and the national exposure at South Bend against what he saw at Fayetteville may have clouded his thinking for awhile.

In fact, he may well have pledged to Notre Dame if there had been a spot open for him at the time. After he had committed to Arkansas, Notre Dame gave out all its available scholarships, including two to nationally-ranked quarterbacks. The Irish didn’t need another. And, if Notre Dame had created an opening for Mustain it could possibly have taken itself out of the picture for Jimmy Clausen, who appears to be the Mustain of next year’s class.

It appears the Irish, who had Clausen on campus last week, are in the thick of the battle for his services.

So, with no offer from the Irish, Mustain dallied with both Tennessee (he’s also known to be a fan of David Cutcliff, who recently took the Vols’ offensive coordinator’s job after turning down the same position at Arkansas) and Alabama, but it’s doubtful he was ever really serious about either of those schools.

Alabama would have been a nice fit.

Once again, another writer who doesn't know how to spell. W-E-I-S.

It is not that hard -- really.

The salient part of the article is the second paragraph.

Of course, this is all pure conjecture. There is no inside information to present here, no big revelation of facts, just some ideas collected while Mustain’s recruitment and eventual commitment to the Razorbacks ran their course over the past three weeks. It sort of plays out like an episode of “As the Football Turns.”

This is truthiness at it's best. No interviews, no quotes by anybody not even from the quotable momma Mustain. Just conjecture spun to fit the desired result of the spinner. Prodigal son comes home to save Hog Nation.

Mitch waited too long to use his ticket and missed the train. No one jumped off the train to make room for him and the conductor didn't turn the train around.

BGIF, you are so right. And this is what Charlie said he was going to do from day one. Get kids who want to go to ND - those who want to be part of something special. Those that want to hem and haw are gonna be left behind. Those that want to be catered to with silver plate and spoon aren't even gonna be on the list.

If Jimmy Clausen commits -- especially if he commits early - watch out. I think Weis will get the top QB in the land every other year.
