The Recruiting Notebook gets a bit of a kick in the ass this week as Notre Dame received a verbal commitment from Justin Ferguson. Ferguson, a 6’2″ wide receiver from Pembroke Pines Florida, is the first wide receiver to commit to the Irish in a class that is looking to sign at least three.
That’s great and all, but I am having trouble with something in his commitment. Something that has me wondering if I can trust Justin Ferguson.
Because right now… Justin Ferguson can’t be trusted.
We were all told that Justin would make his decision between Notre Dame and schools like Florida State, Miami, and Florida on May 2nd. That’s fair enough. It’s was a Monday, and what better way to get a date to the prom than to tell a girl that you’re heading to Notre Dame for college. That’s all week for the hunt!
Instead, those of us in the Twittersphere saw a tweet from the Miami-Herald stating that they just got word that Justin Ferguson had committed to Notre Dame. It was a deep betrayal of trust. Can we give this kid a playbook without it ending up on Kiffin’s desk? True, Kiffin wouldn’t have any idea what in the hell he was looking at- but that’s beside the point.
Welcome to Notre Dame Justin, just stop all of the deception.

Normally, that would be it. Normally, I wouldn’t take the time to talk about another school’s recent commit. Normally, I could give two shits less about anything that a “Michigan Man” has to say. They’re are all liars and cheat on their taxes anyways.
However…
I saw an article that was published a few days ago that featured an interview with a newly baptized skunkbear, Joe Bolden. Bolden is a senior-to-be linebacker for Colrain High School in Cincinnati, and former teammate Jarrett Grace.
Here is a link to the article. Apparently, he is a little upset. It’s not every day that you can get such juicy quotes from a recruit. Dumb quotes, yes- but not as juicy as calling out the two biggest rivals of the school that they just committed to.
Beat the tar out of us? Hmm… that’s nice- SKUNKBEAR.
