I think it's great that so many guys who've already committed are coming to games and other functions. Helps to form a "family" bond that should help keep the whole class together.

 

[JeremyND07]

I agree surprised DC is not on that list...

 

[OrangeIrish]

What actually will take place at this year's banquet?

 

[WeisWeisBaby]

I think that having all these guys down there at once will be a huge selling point to stick with this ND program, this class really feels like it is something special and so do I.

 

[GoIrish41]

I agree surprised DC is not on that list...

Why, he lives 2000 miles away and he's already taken his official visit. Almost all of the guys on the list a within 3 or 4 hours from south bend.

 

[Irishknight1023]

If you saw McDonald and no Crist on the list then you can be iffy.

 

[GoshenGipper]

More may join the list, this is just who I know of so far. I know I've heard rumors that Datone Jones may take an official visit that weekend if he take the required test.

People might not agree with me, and i don't know, but is anything known about the character of this kid? COmpton is a rough place man, there are 2 ways h can go, he can be a high character kid and a great addition to the team, or he can be the kid who'll be getting arrested like the people on penn state. one thing is 4 sure though, he's a heck of a player

I wouldn't judge any kid by where he lives. There are a lot of high character kids coming out of "rough" places. I suspect there are already several who have committed to this class. Any one of them can be a great addition or a kid who gets arrested. I'm sure character plays a major role in any recruiting decision made by ND.

I agree. There are a lot of schmucks growing up in Akron....fans of OSU. Not me though, Irish for life.

 

[NDnateOhio]

Throw Canton in there as well

yes I don't agree with you.

 

[GoshenGipper]

I've heard that Trevor Robinson might be comming for the banquet too, but I haven't been able to confirm it yet.

 

[SoCalDomer]

when is the banquet?

 

[GoshenGipper]

when is the banquet?

The last date I saw was Sat Dec. 1st which is this upcomming Sat, but that wasn't set in stone.

 

[SoCalDomer]

They better tell me if they reschedule, I already have my tuxedo rented.

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

Thats a nice tux!

 

[stonebreakerwasgod]

Nicer than my suit??

 

[SoCalDomer]

With the chest hair and gold chain, you've got me beat.

 

[ChicagoIrishfan]

yeah Trevor Robinson is coming to the banquet, he decided this week. I wonder why???

With Bill Calahan gone and the team in a total nosedive its only looking better and better for us.

The VC members already do.

 

[IrishRamMan10]

So Trevor IS coming to it for sure?

 

[rockne19]

great news !

 

[SoCalDomer]

The VC members already do.

And.... we get these sweet jackets

Speaking of which, I think I received Stoney's jacket in the welcome package... it was pink.

 

[GoshenGipper]

List updated with Jonas Gray, and Trevor Robinson, now that it has been confirmed that he will be attending the banquet.

Joe Fauria also said that he may try to come if his season is over.

 

[johnnd05]

What's the deal with Datone Jones?

 

[GoshenGipper]

I haven't seen him mentioned in the last week or so, so I'm guessing that whatever test he needed to take hasn't happened yet.

 

[GoshenGipper]

The last date I saw was Sat Dec. 1st which is this upcomming Sat, but that wasn't set in stone.

It's scheduled for Saturday Dec. 8th.
