Notre Dame is in a pretty good position for Matt James. He really liked Notre Dame on his visits and is a big fan of Kelly.

Makes sense, I wrote a convincing message. :)

In all seriousness, once I read his status was "just got offered a full ride scholarship to the University of Notre Dame. Wow," I was pretty sure he'd be making the switch. It's really not a hard decision. Notre Dame > Toledo.

I've heard OSU may offer if Hicks goes to Texas. He would then be a Buckeye.

James? Yeah, he would just kick ND to the curb as soon as OSU come calling.:rolleyes:

How many slow, short white guys can one team actually sign according to NCAA by-laws?

I sure hope you didn't or don't currently attend Notre Dame. If so I believe this is one of the secondary violations huddlers are always so concerned about.:D

Why wouldn't you? OSU has actually won a bowl game in the past 20 years, and no I don't count beat a hapless depleted 6-6 WAC team as a bowl win.

And ND > Toledo? LOL. Yeah, maybe 20 years ago.

Roback is a very good athlete and could be a good sleeper pick up for ND. I saw him play all 4 years of high school, he played in a poor conference and other than his freshman year played on a very poor team. Battled alot of injuries his junior and senior year but when he was on the field you could tell he has the potential to be a solid player at the college level. He could play just about any position for the Irish, I don't think he could make it as a qb (what they recruited him as) but you never know. could also be a good slot wr, te, saftey, or if he puts on some weight he could turn out to be a solid olb.

Lol wow I would shit my pants if one day I was going to Toledo, then the next day I had a Notre Dame offer haha

You better believe he goes to ND...or else he'd be like that queefer last year from Alter who chose Miami (OH) over Ohio State.

Agreed. Did you see the article written in the South Bend Tribune. St. X Coach Steve Specht made a big effort in getting ND interested in UC commit Luke Massa, even after Brian Kelly was hesistant to go there. I am sure landing Matt James is part of the deal.

i personally would rather have james than henderson, id take them both (obviously) but james has a head on his shoulders. henderson, well i have my doubts...

let's see here--an offer from Toledo,then all of a sudded one from Notre Dame--something's not quite right here...one thing's for sure,though-it's not as much of a gap as it would have been had he been offered by OU first,and then offered by ND :p

Yes he was..... Considering I know one of his HS coach's (who happens to be his father) and the fact that on scout.com the ND insiders have said he was told he will have a shot at QB. Yea I think I will trust who I have talked to and what I have read over your opinion.
