Golic's son on Mike and Mike in the morning

[doubledomer93]

Golic Sr. playing up ND big time. His son sounds like a good kid. Talking from his Italy trip.
He said he was at the leaning tower of PISA, and called CW and committed.
He says ND is where he wanted to be, recruiting is done. Likes of Florida, Michigan, Nebraska and others were also very interested.
Jr says he is ready to text all coaches.
Also mentioned it was his decision and his little brother Jake is a sophomore and will be more heavily recruited.

Go Irish

Continuing to discuss how hard Jr worked to get here. Nothing at all about a "gift" scholie. Whole family was brought to tears when this came about yesterday.

Also said no disrespect to the Pope (jr seeing him tomorrow), bu the hi-light of the trip was committing to ND! Said he and his wife basically looked at each other and said "my son's going to Notre Dame, how cool is that."

The best 12 minutes for Notre Dame football on an ESPN network in a long time. Mike Jr's comments about Notre Dame was the only place I ever wanted to be said it all. I think Greeny was even more emotional than Dad. It was nice for once to hear nothing but positives about Notre Dame on ESPN, even if it was a little biased.

How good is he?

 

[marv81s]

see the list of schools that was recruiting him, that will tell you how good he is.

If your looking for ratings, I would say a solid 3 star and mid 4 star kid.

 

[Axl Rose]

I say a definitely a four star, I saw video of him on Rivals and hes got to be possibility the top center in the nation. Hes fast, aggressive, smart, quick, and a very good frame to add more weight in the future.

Mike Jr. mentioned on the show that his commit does change the status of his brother Jake, who is a year younger, and a TE at the same high school. Mike Sr. said the same thing, but why even bother, Jake is at least a year away from his decision. Then Jake's name appears in the Chicago Sun Times article about Mike Jr's commit. (see link) It seems like a lot of discussion to try to act like Jake is not an ND lock also. If he is good enough to be offered a scholarship at this time next year by CW, look for the Golic brothers to be playing together at ND for at least 3 years.

Highlight of the article from Mike Sr.:

''The group is scheduled to go to Rome Wednesday, to the Vatican,'' the elder Golic said. ''My son told me, 'I'll step outside to talk to Charlie if I have to. I'll take Charlie over the pope for those few minutes.'''

He is a good pickup for the Irish, Scouts has him listed as the #2 OT, not sure that is solid. I think they are giving him some slack because of the name. But it's great to see the legacy of name Golic is alive and well at ND. He is the first commit.......the seal has been broken now others can follow suit and come on in......24 more recruits and counting !!

 

[RyanS]

More like 19 more cuss444....but we got the point

On a side note, pay no mind to any ratings for guys right now. The ratings for the 08 kids don't come out for a few months.

 

[Zorro50]

The stuff on Rivals does make him look like a monster. But that's probably the competition. Strong start and hopefully more to come soon.

To bad Golic didn't have a DT.

To bad Golic didn't have a DT.

Does Bob Golic have any kids????

 

[Akron Irish]

[irishunclebill]

Does Bob Golic have any kids????

BG has two daughters and one son, Gage, who I believe is not yet in High School.

 

[GoshenGipper]

The best of Mike and Mike just came on, so hopefully they'll replay some of that segment.

 

[stonebreakerwasgod]

i cut espn a little slack for showing the old irish games on saturdays at 8:00am. It probably doesn't hurt recruiting one bit! It's nice to see ND get some momentum with the Golic commit!

 

[GoNDnumber1]

yeah, you cant lose a Golic to another school, that would be nuts!

 

[Ricochet]

JR in my mind without question a 4* prospect and will have a chance to be an AAA, he's very good just not elite and is one for the future. He's not going to have an immediate impact so I think that hurts players ratings but IMO they will most likely keep him at Center and will be Wenger's replacement.

 

[iloveirish_12]

Why is GoNdnumber1 banned?

 

[GoshenGipper]

Because he's one of WeisBankAccount's half dozen aliases

 

[stonebreakerwasgod]

LOL, nothing like giving reps to yourself anonymously

 

[notredomer23]

He is a good player. He will probably be a 4 star on rivals when they announce that. On top of that, he is smart. This is what makes Notre Dame, Notre Dame.

GO Irish!

Mike senior was already expecting some neg comments he said that it wasn't a gimmy offer because he's a legacy...he said schollies are to vital to do that. CW really wanted him...I'm happy for the whole ND family...
