Kyle gave up his EE spot so that others could do so. I think one of the other LB's is thinking of enrolling early. Councell/Grace/Rabassa?

I can't find anything online

EE's:

Carrico
Lynch
Burton

I'm sure BGIF will give you the rundown

Makes sense. Wish him best. Still haven't lost anyone I'm going to lose sleep over... and I was getting seriously worried we would be over the schollie limit.

Well this stinks. I'm not surprised that he is going to Florida though. Good luck kid.

I tend not to get jacked up over verbals but this still stinks.

It seems like ND is the one who kids always de-commit from.

Have we ever 'stolen' anybody wirth noting?

Burton committing to Florida makes getting Ishaq a priority instead of a luxury now!

Oh well. I wish I could say I am shocked, however we lose alot of verbal commitments every year. I'm sure this won't be the last. Best of luck to this kid.

Seriously... we didn't even really have room in the class for the two we've lost so far. Or if we did it was a close shave that assumes Floyd and Rudolph leaving and some 5th year senior scenarios.

Who I really care about are Lynch, Tuitt, the Atkinsons, etc. The elite NFL-upside style players are who need to make sure we keep. Especially on defense.

As for Burton to Florida, I wish him the best. If I had a chance to go to play college football with my brother, I would likely do the same. Can't blame a kid for that. Look at the Atkinson bro's coming to ND!!!

As for Lynch, I heard that he was visiting the University of Anchorage in Alaska. I swear that my Aunt's, brothers, friends, girlfriend told me, so I am sure it is not a rumor!!! Ha ha. Mrs. Lynch, I bet you can't wait until January and this business is all over. If it were my son, the recruiting thing would be old. From rumors, to phone calls from pleading coaches, to crazed fans, to so-called friends giving advise and every news outlet. Best of luck and keep that boy of yours eating those Wheaties!!!

Sucks, but as soon as his brother had that huge game I just thought this would happen...Can't blame the kid for wanting to play with his big bro. Good luck.

I understand this, but it still makes me sick to my stomach. I thought from the beginning that this kid was a dark horse.

I want kids that want to be Irish, and want to bring back the Irish!!

With the rating we had, I really thought that these kids were starting that change. I still think they can. Tuitt, Lynch, The Twins, Kyle and the crew bring it home guys!

I really do wish this young man the best, I think it would be awesome to play with a brother as well and I really hope it all works out for him. As long as we don't lose any of our top notch kids I will sleep well at night. It still sucks to lose him though.
