The First Commitment in the Class of '08!

[GoshenGipper]

Coach Weis and Notre Dame picked up their first verbal commitment in the recruiting class of '08 earlier today when interior OL Mike Golic from West Hartford, CT decided to end his recruiting process. Young Golic is exspected to play center in college.

The offer was made this morning, Mike is in Italy on a class trip, (most CT High School kids have this week off for Winter Vacation) and accepted from there after a tour of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. That has to be a first in college recruiting. His father said that he was expecting the offer sometime this week.

Golic's a great kid from a great High School, and even if his name was not Golic, he would be a great choice for ND. Now if we could only get his Dad to leave ESPN for a more worthwhile pursuit.

Yeah and he could bring Greeny too.

I called it!! His old man was Gerry Faust's first recruit. This will have a much better result !! Congrats to all the Golic's and can't wait for Jake in two years.

wow, this is great. even though compared to some schools (ie. texas, texas a&m) this is a slowww start. just looking at his pics i think he'll bring the "nasty" back to ND line where ever he plays. great pick up!!!

GO IRISH!!!

Actually I think Urban already was chasing him; no reason to think he'll stop now. It's just that Mike Jr. will reply with a swift scissor-kick to the marbles.
