Not as many as we wanted...but not one mediocre one in the bunch. They are not just solid, they are excellent.

I too was dismayed at the decommits...but conversely, when I look at this group, it's clearly the best group we have had in possibly 15 years.

Not once did this coaching staff "settle" for someone or fill a gap with a "warm body".

This folks is the beginning of something very special.

I couldn't agree with you more. After I took a nap today, I feel great about this class even with losing GL. Let's look forward to 08. I really think ND is going to have one of the best classes next year.

Well said, there must be a reason for all the reputation points amassed!

well now that I have had some sleep and listened to CW I feel much better...we are 3 deep along the d line and 2 deep along the oline...our new system on d allows us to better utilize the dbacks and we have a lot of offensive talent...lets go Irish!!!

Yeah, chicks dig him because he rarely wears underwear and when he does it's usually something pretty exotic.

I've been happy with this class other than the obvious decommits but that is the way it goes. I remember reading a few weeks ago about some people moaning about how ND needed to start handing out scholies to fill up a class. Thank God this didn't happen because I'll take quality over quanity any day.

Chris Donald: Academic superstar

Chris Donald: Academic superstar

(Via the Roundup. Sorry, but I didn't know where else to put it.)

Remember <strong>Chris Donald</strong>, the Tennessee linebacker who was one of ND's primary recruiting targets last year, and whose recruitment was rumored to have involved numerous silent verbals to multiple institutions, only to culminate in his picking up a UT cap at the Army All-American game? Remember the drama, the agony, the disappointment?

Well, it turns out your frustration <a target="_blank" href="http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/bowls07/news/story?id=3165186">wasn't half that of the poor suckers who ended up with him in the classroom</a>:
<blockquote>The Vols' leading receiver, <strong>Lucas Taylor</strong>, is ineligible to play against Wisconsin on Jan. 1 as well as reserve receiver <strong>Kenny O'Neal</strong>, reserve defensive back <strong>Ricardo Kemp</strong> and freshman linebacker <strong>Chris Donald</strong>. ESPN.com reported on Thursday that defensive starters <strong>Demonte Bolden</strong> and <strong>Rico McCoy</strong> failed to meet the necessary academic requirements to play in the Outback Bowl, too.

"We have every resource available through our academic center for academic success by our athletes in all of our sports," [head coach <strong>Phillip] Fulmer</strong> said in a statement. "In most of these cases, it was simply the student-athlete not being accountable and doing their work. ... One bright spot is the fact that all of these athletes will be in school spring semester."</blockquote>
Well, isn't that good to hear. Hopefully they'll do their work this time ...
