Circa mid-60's, the Ivy League must have been a pretty popular destination for high school football recruits, at least a select few at/near the top.

Calvin Hill wound up at Yale right around the same time as the guys we lost in the '66 class to Harvard (a few years before, to be exact). And he wound up having a pretty good career in the NFL, even if he is better known today as Grant Hill's dad.

Calvin Hill was a member of the 2nd ever Parade AA team

Notre Dame lost a couple of recruits to Harvard who had already signed Letters of Intent w ND in the late 70s....the Ivy League did not have to honor LOIs

**1977 ND recruiting class:
Dave Otto DE Seattle Prep Mt Lake Terrance Was
signed ND LOI & announced w the ND class, but flipped to Harvard

Otto was a 2nd team All Ivy DE at Harvard

**1979 ND recruiting class
Scott Murrer NT Cincinnati, Oh St Xavier
signed ND LOI & announced w the ND class, but also flipped to Harvard

Murrer was 1st team All Ivy NT at Harvard
and
despite being a NT in football, ran the sprints for the Harvard track team!


The Harvard Coach who flipped these players away from ND/Dan Devine was Joe Restic Sr.....who's own son (Joe Restic Jr) played for Devine at ND
Joe Restic Sr. was rumored at one time to be the next

coach at Notre Dame, replacing Dan Devine. However, I wasn't aware of the story below until now.

BOSTON -- Harvard University football coach Joe Restic is leaving the Ivy League to become head coach at the University of Notre Dame, the Patriot Ledger of Quincy reported Thursday.

The newspaper said it was informed by a source that Restic, named Eastern Coach of the Year in 1974 and New England Coach of the Year in 1974 and 1975, came to terms with the Irish two weeks ago.

Restic, however, told the Ledger, 'I have no comment on anything about Notre Dame. The only thing I'm thinking about now is my game with Dartmouth this week. That's the only thing on my mind. That's all I have to say.'

Notre Dame officials declined comment on the report
