Daniel Smith is Irish!
The Biscuit - 12:19 am
WHO?
Daniel Smith! Class of 2010 fools! Committed to the Irish today, whooooop!
But didn’t he like only have offers from IU, Purdue and Central Michigan?
Yes. He also has 4 stars and is projected to be in the Rivals 100 and he’s prototypical at 6′4″, 180lbs and has crazy stats despite having no real QB to speak of. And he looooove ND, he’s a great student…
So he must not be any good! I mean, Central Michigan….

And this is where I end the conversation by slapping my conversation partner upside the head. If you’re that moronic, I cannot continue to discuss this topic with you. I just cannot.
Daniel Smith is a great pickup for the Irish. Just because other teams outside of the midwest do not yet have him on their radar, doesn’t mean he won’t be, and it certainly doesn’t diminish his quality. Do you think ND has offered every recruit that every other top tier school in the country has offered? Does that diminish their luster to you? No, you still want to go get them? Then SHUT YOUR HOLE with this kind of lame logic. I know this is a vocal and ignorant minority, but that minority deserves to be called out. I am fired up about Daniel Smith’s coming on board, especially on the heels of Senor Lombard’s commitment a few weeks back. The only thing I can really ding Daniel on is the name, which isn’t his fault. I mean, when you have names like Jamoris Slaughter and Golden Tate around you, Daniel Smith just falls flat. But you can only blame the parents here – Daniel had no choice in the matter. Sad.
Welcome aboard D-Town (your new official HLS nickname), we’re happy to have you in the family!

Welcome aboard, Daniel. Biscuit, if we get another Smith, we will have to start a numeric code to wade through them.

Seriously Jim. its getting ridonculous. But as log as they’re quality guys like this, I’ll take a field full of Smiths.

this bores me. Where are all of the RR is the devil posts? Why are you not addressing the fact that UNC has like 30 commits already? A missive on the stimulus packages maybe? A FNL recap, perhaps?

DTK, this is the off-season for us. after running crazy for 6 months, we get to be lazy for a bit. in true fashion, RR continues to do evil/moronic/hypocritical things, but i am taking things easy for a bit. don’t worry, i will thrash him all spring.

Too many football fans are so involved with how many stars a high school player has. We have gotten to the place where unless a high school junior is a 4 or 5-star player, we deem him as not being worthy of a ND Scholarship.
I wonder how many players at Cincinnati, KU, Utah, or Boise State were 5, 4, or 3 star recruits. In the case of KU, not many…if any.
Daniel Smith is a great catch at WR. I also like that 6′ 4″ factor.

DTK,
We realize it’s been quiet around here, but we’re just trying to recuperate a bit. I’ve got a work project kicking my butt, and my kid has decided to catch every bug the daycare can throw at her, so it hasn’t left much time for diatribes on the evil that is anything not Notre Dame (and even some that is).
But we’ve got big plans. Big plans! Think of it like the priming of a squirt gun.

It’s just frustrating, what with the $199/year I am paying to the Biscuit to read this site.

You got a $199 deal from the Biscuit?
How come Kermit stung me $399 for an exclusive subscription package (he said something about U$C tickets on the 50-yard line as well).
domer.mq – you need to get your sales guys on the same page. I mean, you three must be splitting at least $250k between you each season.
What do you mean, you don’t know anything about subscriptions?

Until Dickie starts winning games, he is not worthy of recognition by the college football world, and much less by Notre Dame Nation. DTK, you are one of the lucky few, but unlike the vast majority of UM(sucks!) fans who last year were completely drunk on the fact that we were 3-9 and couldn’t stop reminding us about it, when the tables are turned, we simply don’t care. It was fun making fun of you while it lasted, but it’s the past and old news now. For one shining moment(for now), Dick-rod showed the world what we’ve all known for quite some time now…The University of Michigan(Sucky Suck University) sucks a big one.

trey, i care. i like mocking Michigan(sucks) almost as much as i like cheering for the Irish. i’m just slightly burnt right now on taking a few weeks to re-charge. then i will be back in full vitriolic force, ripping RR a new one non-stop, you’ll love it!

Incidentally, Burbank Steve, your subscription is almost up. E-mail me your credit card information as soon as possible, please.

Eh, I’ll laugh like always, but if it were up to me, it’d be a total non-story. I’d rather see more commentary on Poodle’s whiny bitch fit about Dirty Sanchez declaring.

Man, if we got $199/reader, we’d have like 11 bucks in profit for the year.
That Beer of the Week thing really hit our bottom line.

Yea Trey. I like that story line. Man did he show his true colors. Threw his player under the bus and may have hurt his draft slotting.

Daniel Smith does have the size, and Weis offered him early, so you have to believe that the coaching staff thinks he is a good player. I know that Biscuit thinks it is moronic to bash this commit because of his offer list, but it would be nice to see some offers from big boy schools.
Also I would like to see Weis recruit some more “speed”(Golden Tate)-type receivers. I like a variety of skills rather than just receivers who catch the jump ball.
