Smith On Kelly's Return "It's Huge"

Welcome, Jaylon! So happy to have join the Notre Dame family. Best of luck, success and happiness to you.

Jaylon - you the MAN! Welcome and best of luck.

Jaylon may very well be the next Manti, great leadership and team sprit. He has been one of the best recruiters for the class. What is great there are several recruits that have been very helpful. This class has many RKG's and should be one of the best classes ever.

Perhaps, it's because I see the ND job as the epitome o coaching positions, one that I'd want to my last dying breath but ... I still can't believe BK took that moment in time to interview with Philly. Anzalone was a steep price to pay for it. Yes, I know, if AA left because of that he probably wasn't ND material to start but he also had a lot of pressure with dad being a FL alumni. So, while I wish him the best, I also see what we lost with AA and JS making up an All-American linebacking corp.

Given that BK had moved so many family members to SB and given the potential for the forseeable future, I just don't get taking the interview, much less the job, at Philly.

Thank God the rest of the recruits see ND for exactly what it is: Educational opportunity, excellence in sports and a future network to find success either in the pros or business world.

Can't wait until next season. Go Irish
