Brian Kelly’s biggest recruiting victory just came as it’s beingreported by the Cincinnati Enquirer and at IrishSportsDaily.com thatMatt James has officially sent his letter-of-intent in to the NotreDame football offices.
“Matt’s decision to go to Notre Damehad nothing to do with Luke Massa or anyone else being recruited byNotre Dame,” high school head coach Steve Specht told Mike Dyer of theEnquirer. “He really developed a comfort level with Notre Dame.”
The Irish have to feel both ecstaticand relieved that James committed, especially with Seantrel Hendersonmost likely heading West to USC. On the other side of the coin, OhioState has to be devastated that their two top offensive line prospects,two guys that looked for the longest time to be heading to theBuckeyes, are now going to be playing elsewhere.
