Bennet Jackson and Prince Shembo = sings of good things to come. If I was a recruit right now ND would be at the top of my list. I see unlimited potential, what do you guys (and girl) think? GO IRISH!
ReplyDeleteGood things to come indeed. Both Jackson and Shembo will be proud members of the 2012 National Champion Notre Dame Fighting Irish. That's right... just remember you heard it here first...
ReplyDeleteFleming is going to have a hard time keeping his starting spot next year. Shembo is stronger and has way more upside. They'll probably split time at cat.
ReplyDeleteBennett Jackson will be fun to watch once he gets the offense down. He said yesterday he's working behind T.J. Jones.
