Irish Football Recruiting State of the Union

With the uncertainty of Coach Charlie Weis' future with the Irish as of right now recruiting is taking a downfall. With Top QB prospect Jake Heaps not mentioning the Irish in his top 5 and OT James Hurst one of our top Tackle prospects not having us on his either. It certainly looks like as of right now the Irish will have a top 20 to top 30 class which is UNACCEPTABLE!

There are a few guys that I don't have a good feeling about for one is Anthony Barr who is supposedly leaning towards staying out West to the likes of USC or UCLA. Hopefully Tony Brooks which is his dad, will get in his ear about going to Notre Dame. Another is that stud hoss Left Tackle that compares to Jonathon Ogden in Seantrel Henderson this one I have a bad feeling about. This class will be bad if we don't land him and he didn't show up to the Blue and Gold game this past weekend.

But there are some positives though Cody Riggs a top flight corner has us in the lead for his services. But Georgia offered him today which really threw a wrench in the process. Chris Martin is really being the lead recruiter on the trail to get the best in the class of 2010 to come to Notre Dame let's hope he can help us out on a few.

But ultimately, there's a bunch of question marks about the future of Charlie Weis if he has a season like he has the past couple years he will be on the first plane out of Notre Dame. I get the feeling though a lot of the top players are wanting to see if there will be any improvement on the upcoming season this is do or die for the Irish especially Charlie Weis. Let's hope we can get 10-12 wins and a BCS game this year if not Charlie is as good as gone. GO IRISH!
