Dwenger’s Goodman commits to Notre Dame
By Michael Rothstein
The Journal Gazette

Bishop Dwenger wide receiver John Goodman orally committed to play football at Notre Dame beginning in 2008, his coach, Chris Svarczkopf, said during a phone interview Sunday.

Goodman was at Notre Dame’s junior day for potential prospects when he committed to Irish head coach Charlie Weis.

“He’s an outstanding combination of speed and fundamentals and work ethic,” Svarczkopf said. “He’s a great team player.

Goodman held off his decision until basketball season concluded. Dwenger lost to rival Bishop Luers in the Bellmont Sectional final Saturday night.

Goodman is the second commitment to Notre Dame in the Class of 2008, joining offensive lineman Mike Golic, the son of former Irish standout and ESPN radio host Mike Golic.

Weis is forbidden from discussing Goodman publicly until National Signing Day in February, 2008.

It went to the Goodman story, but Fox 28 just updated their videos. If you go to their web site and look around it's probably there somewhere. The station is WSJV - Fox 28

I did this, but only found a short text story. It said that Goodman is 6-2, 180. All accounts seem to be he's taller than that.

John was on Power Hour tonight, and guess who he said called him the day after he committed to ND. None other than the Florida cockwads.

Ok I'm only two hours from Gainesville I'll let you know how it goes after I complete operation KILL COCKWAD...

Haha, John's high school football/track coach wouldn't give Florida's coaches John's phone number when they called.

 

[goldenlid]

They did that with Cave as well.

 

[rockne19]

we need o fight fire with fire go irish!

 

[GoshenGipper]

John also said he will be playing QB during his senior season.

I'm not going to give UF too much crap about Cave though. They were already recruiting him pretty hard to begin with.

GG- You are right, that is different. Cave had already had contact with Mattison right?, before he committed, but in Goodman's case he had never heard a word until the day after his commit announcement.

BTW, you touched on it in an earlier post, and just to clarify it, John did not actually speak to anyone at Florida and did not mention the name of the coach who called. Florida called John's High School (talked to his coach, I think) and asked for John's number, which they politely refused to divulge.

 

[Shark Attack]

thank god for his coach's sensibility

Flordia needs to stop poaching other school's players. Or at least just ours

 

[goldenlid]

I wonder if they wanted to tell him that it snows in south bend and it is very sunny and nice in florida all the time. It seem like they(FL) have an ax to grind w ND or maybe just CW.

They tried to use that on Cave. They must not realize it won't have much effect on the locals since they grew up here and their bodies are already used to the northern Indiana climate. LOL!

 

[Irishknight1023]

what kind of name is Urban anyway

 

[gallup21]

irishunclebill is correct when he said that, except that even John doesnt know who the coach that called his coach was, he just knows that his coach wouldnt give that college coach his #.

 

[GoshenGipper]

what kind of name is Urban anyway

He was named after a pope.

 

[grantphilly]

He was named after a pope.

That's the only good thing I've heard about the cockwad

 

[irish4ever]

He was named after a pope.

No, he thinks that he's equivalent to the pope! Urban the nutsack!

 

[jimmyclausenND]

Possibly Jeff Samardzija v.2?

 

[Ricochet]

Possibly Jeff Samardzija v.2?

thats what they are hoping but I doubt it, from what I've heard is that he's not as athletic or as fast but who really that high of the Shark before the last 2 seasons.

 

[GoshenGipper]

CW visited John at school today.

 

[rockne19]
