A little bit of video from practice for the USA vs the World All Star game. Tuitt is #7. He looks like a giant, especially next to #45, who is a 6'2" 240 LB who is committed to Boston College.

und.com will have coverage of NSD starting at 7 AM lol. Kelly will have his presser starting at 2 where he will discuss everyone who has signed. It was pretty cool last year.

Yeah either Tuitt is 6'10" or Boston College is getting a MLB that is about 5'6". I'd be ok with either.

Word starting to spread that Bennett Okotcha is now committed to Oklahoma. We'll see in around 36 hours.

Yep, would suck to lose him this late especially since this is a dead period so there are no 4:30 AM visits possible. Depth at CB will continue to be an issue.

He's been the rumor of the week. He was a big Oklahoma lean before the Notre Dame offer, but they never offered. This will be interesting, I'd bet he becomes a Sooner.

Notre Dame might look into having their 2012 class consist entirely of OL's, RB's, and CB's. :)

Interesting. He is faaaaaast but we couldn't see his agility over the course of the season. This definitely means Okotcha is gone.

He appears to be pretty excited about the move so that's a good thing. Should be easier for him to see the field other than ST if he can take the coaching well. He will also switch to #2.

^^^^^Is that going to happen? I like the luxury boxes but the jumbotron turns me off, not having one and the fact that's there's no commercial ads plastered all over the place is what makes ND special.

I would bet any amount of money there will be a jumbotron and turf within ten years.

Those pictures are made by a fan, I assume with Google sketchup.

ND stadium needs a jumbotron for sure. I get tired of calling buddies after a big play or controversial call to see what the replay on tv is showing. That is one tradition broken that wouldn't bother me. Someone on irish envy posted the idea of Rockne's pre-game speech being shown and blasted before the players come out to help ramp up the crowd - I think it's an awesome idea. There are so many cool things you can do with adding a jumbotron. Starting new traditions is an okay thing in my book.

I doubt ND will ever put field turf in, a jumbotron......maybe but articial turf isn't going to happen.

I agree that a jumbotron could serve a great purpose if used as you stated. My fear is that the place becomes commercialized with a jumbotron, just like a lot of other college stadiums. I don't want to see or hear ad after ad after ad.......ND's marketing and basically massive fanbase has made their brand name so strong that they can avoid such a fate. I hope greed doesn't play a factor.

Rumors circulating that Niklas will be Irish.

Ben Councell, Matthias Farley, Eilar Hardy, and Conor Hanratty have all sent their LOI's in. The compliance office has to approve them and then it will become official.
