I know, I know… this is a little late. What can I say? It’s been a busy month. Never the less, the work must be finished- no matter how late it is turned in. Besides, I really wanted to break out the new banner for this feature. It was designed by Philly Kelly.
She gets me.
So, let’s get to the business at hand and take a quick look at the 3 commitments that Notre Dame received during the Blue Gold weekend…
Ronald Darby CB. There’s no way to beat around the bush when it comes to Ronald Darby; this kid is faaaasst. Majorly. Darby’s exploits as a burner are well documented both on the football field and on the track, but make no mistake about it… Ronald Darby is a football player who just so happens to be faster than the Greek god Hermes after injecting a half ounce of crystal meth up through his brain.
Do you know how I know that Darby is a football player first? It’s because he actually prefers defense over offense. Most track guys that try to play football are essentially “slot” receivers that don’t like a whole lot of contact. Darby will play cornerback for the Irish and he seems to not suffer from “bitchitis” like a few others.
One of the better things about this commitment is the DREADLOCK FACTOR. It’s important to keep your roster full of fantastic rivers of dreads at all times. Everybody knows that a large number of dreadlocks on a team increases that teams title hope substantionaly. For real.
Nicky Baratti S. OK, here’s a Texas kid who’s mom is Irish Catholic and his father is Italian Catholic. I’m waiting to see if he has a cousin who has a parent that is Jamaican Voodoo Catholic- but that is neither here nor there. Quite simply, Nicky was born to play for Notre Dame, and Notre Dame was his dream school.
Isn’t great that Brian Kelly can make dreams come true for little girls and little boys?!!!
I have been screaming like a demon in labor for Notre Dame to GET SOME SAFETIES!!!! Honestly, the recruiting done at that position over the past 3 years has been very sub par. I’m not trying to knock any of our players, but there have been a large handful of players that committed elsewhere over those years, and I can’t understand it.
So, the addition of Baratti is a welcome sight. An early target at safety commits? Oh my gaawwdd…
Scott Daly LONG SNAPPA!!! I’m a little pissed about this commitment. No, it’s not because Notre Dame will actually have TWO long snappers on scholarship in 2012. Not at all. I actually encourage the use of a scholarship for a long snapper if the mood is right. Jordan Cowart will be gone in 2013 and the irish will need a body to replace him with… VOILA… Scott Daly.
Back to being pissed off; look at Daly’s shirt in the picture on the right. THERE IS AN ACTUAL CAMP TO BECOME A DOMINANT LONG SNAPPER. This is bullshit. The next former high school coach of The Subway Domer’s that I see is getting punched in the nuts. I would have been great ya know. I could have been somebody- just Like Scott Daly.
This kids awesome, because he is smarter than EVERYONE.
Welcome to Notre Dame fellas!
*Editor’s note: As you can tell… I’m not taking this too seriously. Recruiting is too up and down to say “Bingo Motherfucker!” That’s what signing day is for, and that is what the recruiting spectacular is for. Subway Domer’s Recruiting Notebook will have more serious content at other points, but from now on… the policy here is to have a little fun first. Thank-you & GO IRISH!
