Back on the Weis Bandwagon

Jonas Grey has decommitted from Nebraska and has committed to Notre Dame. This is tremendous news. Internet reports say that Rivals.com lists Grey as the number three rated runningback recruit in the country. Notre Dame has all but assured itself of the recruiting national championship during a 1-7 football season. As one internet poster put it, "Weis could sell ice to an Eskimo."

Meanwhile, the master recruiter commented today that he has learned a lot this year and they may practice full pads next year. This is great news. Weis has consistently criticized for being arrogant, but it takes a lot of humility to admit that your usual way of doing things may have been wrong. He has shown a willingness to adapt and grow on the job, which means that he still has a chance to be successful. I know that Irish fans in the know cannot wait until 2009 to see what he can do when he truly is coaching a deep and talented football team. Until then, we will just have to grin and bear it.
