[RDU Irish]

Whoo, Whoo. Welcome aboard brothers Atkinson. Now you know the bitter taste of losing to Meat Chicken, may you carry that with you as you ROUT THEM the next four years.

Per ESPN (Insider):

I don't have an Insider account, but this is what was available to me:

Livermore (Calif.) teammates and twins, George Atkinson and Josh Atkinson told themselves before their weekend visit to Notre Dame that if things went well, they would commit to the Irish. By mid-Sunday afternoon, that's exactly what happened.

"They called me around 2 o'clock and said they were ready to commit," George Atkinson Sr., the boys' father, said. "I was very excited and really felt like Notre Dame was the best spot for them this whole time. We had a long talk before they left and discussed whether or not they should commit this early.

"I told them that if they got that vibe while they were there that Notre Dame was the right place for them, go ahead and do it. I feel like you when know a school is right for you, you can just tell. They called and said Notre Dame was it and they could tell it was where they belonged.

 

[The Polish Irishman]

I can't remeber where I read it or the link. The brothers were #3 and #5 in the 100m in Cali. Both had faster times than Bennett Jackson.

Speed kills. I like Speed.

 

[IrishinSyria]

Party hat on.

Lost in all the Lynch rumors is that apparantly USC has jumped in on George and gained his interest


Both George and Pops deaded it already

That was quickly squashed.

 

[jason_h537]

Gotta love the Atkinson's, Cali football baby, nothing better

 

[OlympiaIrishFan]

Thank God. I have a great feeling about the twins. They are special talents. Great for the Irish

Go Irish thanks to the twins.

 

[bert2834]

I have a good feeling about these guys as well.

The present USC can make all the promises they want. They will not be able to fulfill any promise made. They will not be there after this year. The final nail in their coffins will be a loss to ND. F those scumbags!

By the way, you can't spell scum bag with out the U, the S or the C.

 

[IrishLax]

I can't wait until USC gets embarrassed this weekend by Stanford.

 

[iamtrulyblessed]

I can't wait till next year!!!

 

[Irish Man3]

I can't wait till next year!!!

Momma Lynch!!!

I think everyone is very excited for next year. All the pieces seem to be in place and it should make for some exciting football.

 

[edgesofsanity]

Just named to the U.S. Army All-American Bowl.


Gotta love Josh's attitude about challenging his brother too.


And of course:

"I'm glad to just be a part of the Irish in the Army Game," George said. "It's cool."

 

[fitz_bu47]

Awesome!! Sweet Pic, can't wait for this class!

 

[jason_h537]

I expect big tings out of these guys. My favorites, and its not just cuz they from Cali

 

[TerryTate]

Rivals just posted a video (Premium), and this kid is absurd. So fast. Huge pull out of Cali. He and Davaris on the flanks will resemble the Floyd/Tate combo.

 

[Junkhead]

Anyone who is blind enough to go to USC now deserves them. I definitely don't see George III being one of them.

 

[OlympiaIrishFan]

I can't wait, these are two are going to be great for our program. I can't wait for this class.

Go Irish, and thanks to you twins I can't wait.
