Next Up for the IRISH -- The Armstead Men!

 

Armond and Arik Armstead are back at their California home tonight, mulling over the decision on what school they will enroll (in the next few days) for the Spring semester!

It appears the race is down to Notre Dame or Auburn -- with many feeling pretty good about ND's chances.  Here's why ND fans should be excited about this pending news:


Here's a few links to some of the stories on their recruitment.   Don't be surprised if we know as early as tomorrow if they're both IRISH!  Stay tuned!!!

Just When Many Thought ND Football...

...was done adding players to this recruiting class.

Along came a 5-star QB named Gunner Kiel and now what seemed to be a recruiting season that might go out like a lamb -- is now looking more like a lion!

In the past 12-hours, the University of Notre Dame football program picked up the #1 rated QB in the country and they've hosted another top "transfer" prospect from USC (Armond Armstead), who's been projected as a 2nd round draft pick in the NFL.

And, the word is -- where Armond goes -- so will his kid brother Arik Armstead who just happens to be a 5-star defensive lineman, who will be given the opportunity to play football and basketball for Notre Dame.

The Armstead's have apparently been given an extension until January 24 to arrive at ND to begin classes for the Spring semester, which officially started today.  Their decision appears to be coming down to battle between ND and Auburn.

In addition, last night, Notre Dame coaches were in the homes of 5-star athlete Nelson Algohor and 4-star Ronald Darby -- still seeking commitments to the IRISH.

These next 15 days 'til National Signing Day are going to be fun!
