Tuitt "Re-Commits" to Notre Dame!

In the last half hour -- it's been reported that FIVE-STAR Stephon Tuitt, one of the top 25 players in the country -- has re-committed to joining the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame!   If you've been following recruiting -- Tuitt announced yesterday that he was "de-committing" from the Irish and "committing" to Georgia Tech.  Well, that all changed this evening when Coach Kelly, Diaco and Martin visited with Stephon and his Mom-- at the Tuitt residence in Georgia.  See the link to the Atlanta JourNal Constitution story below.  Tuitt's commitment now means Notre Dame's current recruiting class has four defensive players who are among the TOP 100 players in the country.  A first for Notre Dame football in the past ten years!  They are as follows:

• Ishaq Williams, OLB -- Rivals has him ranked the #16 player in the country
• Stephon Tuitt, DE -- Rivals has him ranked the #22 player in the country
• Aaron Lynch, DE -- Rivals has him ranked the #28 player in the country
• Ben Councell, OLB -- Rivals has him ranked the #91 player in the country
