David Posluszny .....LB ...6-0/206 ... Aliquippa , PA

That would have to be Paul Posluszny's bro?

By the way, looks like another great class but again will this talent develope? Only time will tell I guess.

[Weis-guys]

Yes that's Paul Posluszny's brother. Joseph Fauria is the nephew of Christain Fauria, who was a TE on a couple of the Patriots superbowl teams. And as for Golic, that self-explanatory.

Some of these guys are most likely to see action. Seeing as Notre Dame does not red-shirt any players, these guys can step in right away.

Also there only looks like 2 or 3 (if that) will return for a 5th season and a upcoming senior class that only has around 13-14 players and somewhere around 5-6 players actually play.

Golics son better beef up if he wants to play in college. 260 is a shrimp in college football!

yea but 6'5 is a great height weight needs to be around 285 to say what 320 max

Exactly! I didn't say grow taller I said beef up. Two completely different things.

He must be on that NutriSlim thing with his dad!

[bigtimehitter]

ALOT of high school lineman go into the fall weighing between 260-270. These strength coaches know what they are doin and they'll have him in the 290+ range come kickoff.

yea i know i was just saying that a 6'5 lineman is good but a 260 isnt

[Weis-guys]

Sort of late, but the one update I have is that DT Omar Hunter became the first to decommit from Notre Dame.

Hunter is a 4-star recruit, and 4th best DT on Rivals...he is now choosing between 4 SEC teams...and from what I've heard he's leaning toward Florida.

[1959IRISHA]

Trust me ND is not going to just lay down and die!

The days of dynasty teams is over repeat championships will be rare unknowns will rise to greatness
Is there really anyway to say who is the best team at the end of the season?
