Army All American Game Dominated By Irish - On and Off the Field

domer.mq

If you watched the Army All American Game today, you may have noticed a few things:

  • There were A LOT of soon-to-be-Irish playing in the game.
  • A few hoped-for recruits did not commit to the Irish. They also didn’t get a lot of media coverage after the game, unlike ND’s recruits. I guess the producers of the game were just trying to simulate the college game as much as possible.
  • Matt Romine decided to join what has to be one of the greatest 2-year Offensive Line recruiting hauls in Irish history. Welcome, Matt!
  • The Irish recruits dominated both on the field and off. Get used to it, guys. You’re gonna have a huge opportunity to impact the Irish on the field, and a huge amount of exposure on television.
  • Aurelious Benn, Illinois’ top recruit, got to see what it was like to play for a lousy offense. Excellent training for the next few years!
  • USC just keeps hauling in mad skill. This year it looks like they recruited 11 amazing defensive guys, all named Chris Gallipo.
  • The national guys for Scout.com may be the only people on the planet with less on-air charisma than John Saunders.
  • Gary Gray is gonna play a big role in making sure few 50+ yard passes are completed against the Irish in the near future.
  • Greg Little is awesome.
  • Justin Trattou apparently impressed the coaches of the game more than any other defensive player.

That’s all I can remember off the top of my head, but MY GOD is the future bright for the Irish.

Did you mean Greg Little? Chris committed to FSU.

Seconded, Greg Little IS awesome. And a really friendly character to talk to.

Q, I will acknowledge that yes ND recruitng has picked up but the fact is the game is on NBC and Lemming helps pick the teams. ND has always had a disproportionate number of recruits at the game. What did you think of Mallet though? I look forward to some good Mallet-Clausen battles over the next few years.

I don’t want Mallet anywhere near Clausen. He might mistake Clausen for a sandwich and eat him. Seriously, I didn’t know the Adams Family had a good football pedigree.

And to think, he is two years younger than Clausen.
