Now can we all just say that this coaching staff knows talent, not just because USC offered but it seems like after ND offers someone a bunch of other big schools offer.

ESPN is saying that Fleming will probably make a commitment at the Blue-Gold game. Not that surprising, but at least worth a mention.

something tells me they get their information from the same places we do so I doubt they know anything we don't

I will have to say that if Fleming does not commit soon, I will get very nervous that it is turning into a Benn situation. I know it probably isn't that way, but I reserve my right to get nervous, none the less.

I think the feeling amongst pundits and fans alike is that Notre Dame has him locked up.

Now, so long as this does come to fruition, how does USC have to feel with the last 3 Irish commits? A son of their alum, and two recent USC offers say no thanks.

That's what I've heard as well. I've heard from several different sources that he's already commited, and they are just waiting to publically announce it later this weekend on Fri, or Sat to gain some more recruiting momentum and create more of a buzz for this weekend's events when there will be so many recruits in town for the B/G game.

Nothing wil be like the Benn situation, and i'm tire of hearing his name. As will Benn be in a few years of hearing ND, wishing what could've been.

That is the way to do it. Having alot of recruits watching another guy commit right in front of them, and telling them to get in on this soon to be gravy train.

Ahh -- I like the sound of that; it's a good strategy.

But didn't we say "no silent commits"? ;)

I don't think that's true, exactly. A recruit can be committed to Notre Dame without making a public announcement. But, it can't be a "soft" commit. That is, once you commit to Charlie, you can't go visit other schools, receive other coaches into your house, etc. If you do that, the Charlie will assume that you're no longer committed and move on to the next guy.

Fleming may have committed to Charlie, but just hasn't announced it publicly, yet. It doesn't look like he's taken any trips lately, except to Notre Dame.

but isn't that exactly what a silent commit is? charlie doesn't want silent commits. he wants kids that will publicly swear their allegiance to the irish.

if he's committed in any way right now, it's likely a situation where he's simply told charlie of his intentions, nothing more.

Probably somewhere between 5 and 10. He's been to ND so much lately that I lost count.

Excellent pick-up.......this might just be the beginning of the commits.

The early success will prod some of the fence sitters to push their decisions forward to ensure they get on the 'bus'. Guys like Arthur Brown, and Forston will still hold off until closer to NSD, but there are some tremendous prospects that may be inclinded to start pulling the trigger soon.

Although, you can guarantee that there will at some point be many fans climbing out on the ledge at some point over 'one specific guy or another' committing elsewhere; just like last year where guys were jumping after the A-A game, or when Wilson committed to Ill.

A great start to Blue-Gold weekend, hopefully he won't be the last for this weekend. Welcome, Darius, welcome.

Both scouts and rivals are reporting a commit. Probably safe to move him in to the commit list.
