OT John Montelus - Commits to ND (Updated on 4/22 at 12:15 p)

    star69 & WE ARE ND76,

    I didn't see Shurburtt say that Elmer is too high. I did see the comparison to Montelus, however, which I took as the new Irish commit being a Top100 candidate with Elmer just outside of that group.

    In the end, I feel both have a good chance of being up there. Even if you have all five OL in the Top247 that's still saying something -- there are 1.2 million high school football players in the country. I'd be rather pleased as a recruit if I was in a group that was less than a .25 of a percent of the top players in the nation. Less than 4.2 percent of high school football players even get a scholarship to play FBS football.

    He said Elmer wasn't as good as prospect as Montelus or Evan Lisle. Kind of surprised he put that out there like he did. Montelus would get a jump they wanted to confirm his size. I'm thrilled to have all 5!

    Montelus has had a busy week so we'll certainly get more later, but here's a quick snipet on his decision to choose the Irish:

    "It's a great school and it has a really good coaching staff. Notre Dame is the best program in the nation.

    "It was great (being around 9 of the other commits. IrishMob13 is a family."

    IrishMob13 is the name the current group of pledges have given its class.

    I hear ya... A lot of our OL are flying under the radar IMO. How was the B&G game? Hope you enjoyed the experience. Seems like IrishMob13 is a tight group.

    no - i didnt go or even see it on TV. We had a baseball doubleheader in cold (but scenic) NW Michigan with #2 son - so my wife and her sisters decided to go down and see all the things they been hearing about, catch a mass and buy out the book store. Sounds like they took some pretty cool pics in the Gug - the girls all lined up in football stances on the turf next to the weight room....sounds like they had a trip of a lifetime - which is how I feel every time I go too!

    While it sucks you couldn't go, glad to see the family enjoyed the trip. Look on the bright side, at least they (probably) brought you back a t-shirt! biggrin
