Bruton Impresses Some at Senior Bowl
David Bruton had a pretty good week of practice at the Senior Bowl this week and may have helped out his draft stock some. The 6-foot-2, 210-pound Bruton has impressed scouts with his playmaking ability and ball-hawking skills. He is seemingly always around the ball, showing very good instincts and explosion at the point of [...]
Gary Gray Expected to Return
ESPN’s Graham Watson reported this week that junior to be corner back Gary Gray plans on re-enrolling at Notre Dame for the summer term. According to the family member, Gray is not enrolled this semester because of academic issues. Those issues forced Gray to miss the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl, but the family member said Gray [...]
Bryant Young Notre Dame’s Newest GA, Tim Grunhard Next?

Gruden Rumors Shot Down
As soon as Jon Gruden was fired by the Buccaneers on Friday, rumors linking him to Notre Dame after Signing Day began to popup.

Recruiting Impact of Alford Hire
When Mike Haywood was hired by Charlie Weis four years ago, he brought with him the reputation of being a good recruiter with ties in Texas based on his work with the Longhorns. In practice however, Haywood was not much more than an average recruiter at Notre Dame. Will his replacement, Tony Alford, fare much [...]

Since it seems like some here weren’t too thrilled with the Verducci hire based on the comments to the posts about his hiring, here are some quotes from Hayden Fry about Verducci from Saturday’s South Bend Tribune. “I’m not familiar with Charlie’s philosophy,” Fry said, “But Frank will do anything that the head coach tells [...]

Darrin Walls Back at Notre Dame
Notre Dame was without the services of Darrin Walls last year while the senior to be was not enrolled in school, but that won’t be the case in 2009. Walls was enrolled at Notre Dame once again this week as Notre Dame started the semester Monday. Losing Walls was a major blow in 2008 even [...]
Recruiting Impact of Frank Verducci Hire
Just yesterday the SBT had a quote from Tom Lemming about John Latina being Notre Dame’s best recruiter amongst the assistant coaches this year so his departure will obviously bring some about some questions about the potential impact. After doing some preliminary research on Verducci though it seems as though recruiting won’t be an issue [...]
