FYI Kelly encourages all draft eligible players to get evaluated and then weigh the pros/cons of coming back or going pro.

Not one kid with a moderate draft grade who has decided to come back has regretted it so far:
-Floyd went from 3rd to high 1st.
-Manti went from 2nd to probably top 10.
-Eifert went from 3rd to probably late 1st.

If there is one truism for this staff it's that they develop players. Over the last couple years we have seen players make huge jumps as they stick around and buy in.

Manti was just on the Halftime show of the Army-Navy game. They asked them who their Heisman vote would go to. Manti named Nix.

Manti said in his post interview that Nix should make a 2013 Heisman run. Manti said that Nix is who he would vote for for the Heisman. Nix is evaluating the NFK at Brian Kelly's request; Nix will listen to Manti.

Lou also tweeted a 2013 heisman campaign hash tag for himself.

He'll be back, no worries here. This kid won't leave without a degree.

Sorry, wasn't meaning he was leaving or should leave and can get his degree after. It was aimed at the reason for him staying as obtaining his degree. I do believe he stays.

Thank the Maker!!!!

On another note: a couple of the above posts should be trashed. Pollock has actually given the ND front seven tremendous props several times in recent shows. Plus, David Pollock was one mean stud and could probably take 99.9999% of all human beings into the cage and be the one who walked out. Why do we do that cheap stuff?? Let's just play the football games and let Kelly, Diaco, Big Lou, and Manti take care of the results and the opinions.

That's the best news I've heard all week. He's going to be a(n even bigger) monster with another off-season to study and develop.

Mr. Irish Chocalate,
Thank you, young man, for coming back and helping ND make another run at history. It takes courage to turn down all that cheese, and take the longer road. You already had my respect. Now you have my admiration. Thanks for doing things the right way, and having fun while you're doing it. Thanks for making me laugh, and signing up with ND when we had no coach. Your are truly Irish,,,, Chocalate. Go beat Bama

Yes he would stay around. He promised his mother he would get his degree. He sees the advantages of which way his life is going. I really believe that starting what he finished is number one.

Hate to say told you so, BUT,

Told you so.

I would like to see everybody start to appreciate the high quality of the individuals that ND has brought in under Kelly to make this championship run. Most conventional wisdom says you need to follow the Tressel or Meyer plan and that you need criminals . . .

"She called me every day like 'I can't wait to walk on the field with you for Senior Day.' In high school, she didn't get to do it with me. She barely made it to any of my games. She didn't do the Senior Day in high school and she cried. That was a big one for me."

Nix's mother, Stephanie Wingfield, desperately wanted to see her son honored on Senior Night at Raines High in 2009. She couldn't attend. She had to work a shift at a hospital cafeteria, because someone had to put food on the table. "She just had to work all the time," Nix said. "She couldn't afford to take off." So when her jumbo-sized son with a heart to match took the field that night, he did it alone. "I was the only person who walked on the field by myself," Nix said. "People were like, 'Where are his parents?' She didn't like stuff like that."

We are very lucky to have Big Lou for another year! Can't wait to see him and Jones go toe to toe! Is epicity a word, because they epicity cannot be described.
