How giddy will you be when two studs from your alma mater commit to ND?

I will be insanely excited, not only for ND to gain their talent, but for my alma mater to represent in South Bend and hopefully open up that barren pipeline for years to come.

I was next to the pool at Rio Mar Hotel in Rio Grande PR last week and saw a kid wearing a Don Bosco Athletics tee shirt, gave him a random thumbs up. Let's get the pipeline flowing. Psyched if/when Shumate goes Irish and Yuri follows suit.

Absolutely, then follow up with Muhammed in '13 and Peppers in '14

Googled this Scofield fellow and he writes for Bleacher Report. Take it with a grain of salt.

To be fair, Scofield's articles are good by BR standards. High on humor, light on analysis, but nothing stupid or baseless. TIFWIW.

Yea, BR is a joke and anyone who writes for that site has zero credibility.

That's the thing ANYBODY can write for Bleacher Report. I could go on there right now and right an article on Kiffin eating kittens and viola', its online. Its just a site for people to write their own sports articles. There are no professionals writing for Bleacher Report.

Just because anyone can write there does not mean that professionals haven't.

Also, I think Kiffin does eat kittiens. no info.

I think it does. Find me a professional sports writer that wrote a bleacher report article at the time of his/her employment at said professional position. Their pitch is to help non-professionals get exposure.

Kiffin eats puppies, kittens have not been confirmed.

JC Shurburtt was on Bill King's radio show this morning and said that as of right now he would say both Wright and Shumate are likely ND. Said it would be a surprise if Shumate would announce for anyone other then ND.

Love listening to Bill King. Man has connections and says what he knows.

Love King as well, and not to be a buzz kill, but JC also said that Gunner was committing to ND, so until it is locked up and announced, I am not popping the champagne.

That's why he makes the big bucks.

It's what all these guys who get paid for their opinions do unless they purposely go against public opinion to make themselves stick out. So really it is why he makes the big bucks. lol

I was just telling my mom today how I'd love to get paid thousands to make predictions on games. Easiest. Job. Ever.

Thanks for the groundbreaking info. Next time, try not to give all of the inside info. *drunk*.

God forbid the guy post a comment about wanting a recruit to commit. Lighten up Francis.

First JC says he was a lock for ND, and now there is a rumor that he is going to Rutgers. JC must be the kiss of death when it comes to recruiting for Notre Dame (he said that Gunner was an ND lock as well).

Don't believe everything you read or hear. That's the lesson of the day.
