This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

recruiting is going to be strange this year by jt

as there were not the normal summer camps, team camps, etc. that schools and sites were able to hold. Many of these camps led to major and mid major conference offers and increased the star ratings of a lot of prospects.

Now, a place like ND should have been involved in recruiting prospects at their level for quite some time, and perhaps not a ton of kids would earn a late offer to ND (whom I assume is probably close to full by this point).

As to your last question about Jack holding off on announcing Kelly's extension, I really doubt it. I don't think that he really gives a fuck about football recruiting, to be honest. If stuff goes bad, he'll just make some excuse and trot out Jack Nolan or one of the usual suspects from the homer recruiting sites to do an "interview" (if he's even around any longer).
