Rockne's Roundtable

Oh man...Onwualu takin' some parting shots. Must have been a lot of deception by Alex the last few days.

when exactly did opposing coaches have the chance to talk to

nd recruits about kelly possibly leaving?

Seriously - some of you might want to take off your blouse and do some stretches or something. C'mon, man - a high school kid wants to go to Florida. Move on. Notre Dame will be just fine.

Sapp, posting a text from him that says he's all in like that is bound to get folks on here storming the gates .

Easy, folks, take the emotion out of it. Lets take it a step at a time. How about we focus on what happens with Kelly first; if he stays, there's opportunities to replace AA. If Kelly leaves, the majority of the class stays intact (you all read the thread with commit reactions). Lets be right, not first. That's the blessing and curse of twitter; for example, I don't think anyone knows if Kelly is even in the country or not.

I know, I know, the optics don't look good, but we don't have the info yet; what exactly does "he had an interview" mean. Did he literally sit down with the team? OR did his agent take a call and say "you know, he might be interested, let me get back to you?" Philly is interviewing Lovie Smith today. So clearly they didn't offer him the job.

Before folks start melting down about the situation, I ask you not to go all Les Miles on the kid. Folks here were cracking on the Hatter for his "Chesty" comments because we got the kid we wanted. This kid chose a different school; let him go. We've seen how it works out for the kids who never go all in on ND anyway.

Best of luck AA; you could've done great things here, but I hope you do great things anyway.

I don't expect folks to agree with these sentiments re: Kelly, but at least move on from the kid and focus on whos available, not who left...
