actually it could be 16 going to Notre Dame in that game
including Ethan Johnson if he was able to play and if Gerrell commits

Yeah but he said he'll play on Saturday. I love how he was about getting Kenny Tate an offer. I think the recruits realize another WR or two in the fold would be a big help to this team in the future.

Rivals claims we have offered Tate. It says so on his page and also in an article, yet on Blue and Gold, we haven't.

That would be a good thing. Our old qb coach before Powlus was recruiting him, and he had interest in us, and then we stopped going after him.

We won't go after Tate. I guarantee it.

I wish we would, the kid has awesome abilities. If we whiff on Deion Walker why shouldn't we throw our hat in the ring? I don't think we will offer him but the staff needs to seriously consider it. Plus Urabn wants him real bad, it would be nice to steal one form under his nose.

buddy of mine in baltimore says Tate is a stud. he's watched him play and said ND would be silly not to go after this kid. i'm not sure what his test scores are like but a talent like that should get a look from charlie, especially if urban is eyeing him up.

I am really excited about this kid. From everything that I have heard about him he really sounds like a class act. I wish him the best at ND.

Just saw this on ESPN, Lugenbill (sp?) updated his rankings. I don't care about his rankings so much as this little tidbit.

22 verbal commitments, 10 ESPN 150 prospects
The latest: Whispers are that one-time Nebraska commit ESPN 150 RB Jonas Gray (Pontiac, Mich./Detroit Country Day) may change his mind once again with Michigan making a late push, though Charlie Weis won't let him go without a fight.

Eh, i dont think it'll happen. With everything we know about the kid, he is 100% irish, he loves the team, its where he wanted to go from the very beginning. Id be completely surprised if he leaves the team to go anywhere, especially scUM.

and for him to be so gung ho at the all-star game about ND and then to turn around and say no way i can't see that happening. he seems like a pretty stand up kid to pull a fast one on charlie & co.

Key word here is kid! It would not surprise me one bit espeically with all the young talent we already have at running back! The attraction of immediate palying time and playing in the spread offense with Pryor for (4) years will be hard to compete with if this is true!!!!

Honestly I don't think we do anything but add to this class from here on out. I just happened to run across this and figured I would post it for a little more insight from people on here. Given the source I have my doubts to begin with.

He probably wouldnt play that much at UM. Look at what Dick Rod did at WVU... who was his main back? steve slaton... Who is more like Slaton at UM? JGray or Sam McGuffie. I think McGuffie would get a large majority of the carries in that offense with or without JGray going there.

Everyone needs to settle down. We're talking about ESPN. They always will provide faulty stories if it hurts ND.

He was at ND last weekend, he'll be there this weekend. Its over in my book.

yeah, i know he's a kid and subject to the temptations out there. i just want another quality kid involved in this class. we have some real high quality recruits coming in and you hate to lose any of them. time will tell and maybe we get a few more guys to join the party.

I'm calling BS on this one. He already had a late offer from Michigan before ND ever offered and he turned them down. Plus he has been one of ND's most active recruiters.

Michigan probably has contacted him but I highly doubt anything will come of it. IMO this is probably being played up to increase subscriptions before NSD.

Nothing would surprise me these days but I hope you are right....I think Omar was more BS then this rumor though!

Jonas has been out there activley recruiting for the Irish. Why would anyone believe something like this? He was at N.D. last weekend to talk to KLM, he will be back this weekend with Mike Martin and his parents to try and get him to come to N.D. GG correct me if I'm wrong but this is what he has said he is going to do.
