HOT RUMOR: Clausen to verbally commit at College Football HoF tommorrow!

[scooper]

A friend who was at the College Football Hall of Fame luncheon today just called, confirming what was posted over on NDN (and possibly what was speculated upon in this morning's SBT): that a "national recruit" was having a 8:30 AM presser tomorrow at the Hall to "announce something"...

BGS, remains one of the best football blogs on the net, by the way.

Is this Jimmy or what?

 

[scooper]

That's the speculation. Then again, there will be a handful of national guys in town tomorrow.

I'm now getting up an hour earlier than planned to get there for it.

In fact, I'm taking the rest of the afternoon off and leaving now.

Take a digital camera and some wireless device so you can post it immediately for us unlucky schlepps who will be attending a 2 year old's birthday party in Ohio while "our loyal sons are marching onward to victory" tomorrow against our other loyal sons.

 

[scooper]

You guys notice he never replied? I'll bet he's at Circuit City right now buying the equipment.

 

[BigIrish]

i'll bet you're right, scoop. tomorrow a.m. can't come fast enough now....

 

[jiggafini19]

Hey guys...still at work.

Lou Holtz beefed on everyone. Here's the article.

i must say this has been the most exciting ride i've ever taken with nd football in my short life. in 23 years i became truly aware of sports and nd around 5 or 6, just in time to see the gradual decline until weis.

it's like a tidal wave of euphoria knowing this is only the beginning for a long run of success and mmmmm mmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm does it feel good.

 

[Domer95]

I say it's GREAT TO BE FROM UNDER THE DOME!!!!!

Next on the docket....paging Mr. A. Benn.....

 

[AlbuquerqueIrishFan]

This is so exciting! I have never been this excited about a recruit! He is sure to pull in a bunch of talent as players will surely follow Clausen. Here come the Irish!!!!

 

[Buttascotchyo]

One heck of an endorphin rush is on its way. Ah, there we go.

Does anyone believe that there will be a huge exodus among the backup quarterbacks following Clausen's commitment?

Up Next ?

While checking some of the other Notre Dame fan sites to seek verification [and gratification] - I won't be satisfied until its "official." Until then, I'll continue to take my periodic doses of Malox. Apparently, JC and Charlie have a flare for the dramatic. If its true, one down . . . . Here's hoping the dominos begin to fall. To wit recruitnik appetites, here's a chance to view a video on WR Arrelious Benn: http://64.237.99.126/viewer/index.php?op=show.video=2007438.wmv When Coach Weis leaves on Monday to begin his May recruiting trek; I'm certain he'll have a wide smile on his face.

Charlie Weis: "In the pros, each team gets one draft choice each year; but in college, if you work hard, you can get ten [or more]!" "God Bless Coach Weis"

 

[AlbuquerqueIrishFan]

I could see Jones or Frazier leaving at some point. They were star quarterbacks in high school and highly recruited. I can't see them just warming the bench for Quinn this year and then Clausen for the next 3-4 years.

 

[mwinely]

As others have said - this could be a great weekend. Can you say Benn, Kumara, Tyler and Barnes? Those who are there tomorrow - please keep us posted.

Jigga - by the way, congrats on the promotion. Climbing the ladder from a starter to moderator. I'm sure a raise was attached to that.

A B Next?

Did anyone have an opportunity to check the video on Arrelious Benn in my earlier post? Does he remind you of any former ND receiver? He looks like a man among boys in the clips. His QB wasn't too bad either! Maybe "The Rocket" and JC can work on him tomorrow. Now for some D commits like Austin and Barksdale - I can dream, can't I? God bless Charlie Weis!

Ever played a game of dominoes with someone where you just couldn't lose? Well, the first piece was just played if all holds true. I expect the rest to fall in nicely now.

 

[jkmoline]

yea it will be interesting to see what other dramatic well timed announcements Weis has planned with these kids, its my opinon hes going to have plenty of big time recruits to brag about when he hits the road next week

"He's from New Jersey, so he's got a little swagger to him. Kind of like me."

God it warms my Jersey-boy heart to hear those words come out of so many recruits mouths
