'13 PA OT Mike McGlinchey (Notre Dame Signed LOI)

[jimmymac]

His school is in my league from back home. I'll ask my high school coach what he thinks about him, not the most competitive league right now but produced Matt Ryan a few years back.

Taylor Decker who? This kid is enormous. Awesome get. Hope the PSU sentiment has faded off and he's 100% committed. But for now, just celebrate that he's joining the ND family!

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Welcome to ND Mike

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Welcome Mike! Michigan doesn't have jack on us!

 

[johnnykillz]

Awesome!

What a fantastic weekend!

 

[woolybug25]

Great to see another Irishman: Nár lagaí Dia do lámh!

This is crazy cool

Great weekend boys! It's just going to keep getting better and better up to the Blue Gold game weekend. In regards to McGlinchey feeling pressure. You never know until signing day, gotta stay on him but we haven't heard the last of the unfortunate Penn St scandal. I feel we will also take Dorian Johnson (Scott Booker's cousin) if he wants to come to Notre Dame. McGlinchey is also Catholic. Sometimes Touchdown Jesus helps out.

What a fantastic weekend. O line getting large.

At the same time, about taking more than 4 o-lineman, McGlinchey was told by ND coaches that they're only taking four. He got 30 minutes away from Notre Dame, called the ND coaches and committed. Him and his dad turned around and are meeting back up with the coaches.

I don't know how to phrase this correctly.... but do we consider him a solid verbal? Or a soft-ish verbal?

I only ask because he made initial comments about not wanting to pull the trigger because he wasn't ready and then did a 180 in a couple hours and committed to ND.

Is he still scheduled to visit PSU next weekend?

If Pocic wants to come, there is no way we turn him away...

Pocic doesn't want to come.

 

[arahop]

^ man of reason. Pocic has been long gone.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Works just fine. We really don't need him. McGovern and Johnson will be so bladamnd underrated it will be sad!

According to Rivals, he had his family stop the car on the toll road on their way to Wisconsin. Made his dad turn around, and he committed to ND

Doubt he will visit anywhere else in the near future

Need to continue to go hard after Johnson and Latham just in case all of these guys don't stick with ND. Really need 5 OL after only getting 2 last year.

welcome mike!!!!!!!

 

[TheSunIsRising]

Excellent news. 3 excellent additions on the OLine today.

Not sure what his vertical is, but he could also be a weapon on the FG prevent team (kind of like how USC used Kalil).

 

[BeauBenken]

Welcome aboard Mike!

 

[Kanye West]

Is he a tackle or guard?

 

[IrishInFl]

Is he a tackle or guard?

[DSully1995]

Quick question: Whats the primary difference between prototypical Guard and Prototypical tackle? Thanks
