Finally. Irish Fans have been waiting on this day since offers went out last year. Notre Dame is still going full speed on the recruiting trail despite its lack of steam on the field. 5 star wide receiver, Michael Floyd, committed to the Irish over the weekend.
The Irish won out over Ohio State, Minnesota, Florida, and of course… Michigan, for the talented wideout from Minnesota.
This gives the Irish their 20th verbal commitment for the incoming 2008 class, and solidifies their number 1 ranking on both Scout.com and Rivals.com recruiting services.
Back in July, I wrote a piece that discussed how important Floyd was to the future of this team as well as 3 others in Newman, Filer, and Flemming. Take the time to read it again… I’ll wait.
Along with John Goodman, this is already an excellent haul at WR for the Irish. Floyd has been their number one guy from the start at this position and it could get better with guys such as Walker, Baldwin, Harper, and Robinson in the mix as well. One more of those 3 would give the Irish the players at WR they were looking for from last year when they lost out to Greg Little and “Don’t call me Regis” Benn.
Other Recruiting Tidbits…
-
3 other prospects ( Trevor Robinson, Kenneth Page, and Jonas Gray) had a visit with the Irish on Saturday.
-
Robinson and Gray are both Nebraska commits that are now wavering after seeing the sinking ship that is Cornhusker football.
-
Page has said that his visit was great and ND is rising fast on his list.
