Rockne3d 0 Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I believe this is from a Cleveland newspaper. Folks are still buzzing over a recruiting visit new Notre Dame football head coach Charlie Weis made recently with a top area high-school lineman, who clearly expected to be wooed, flattered and praised by Weis. Instead, Weis slapped a copy of the recruit's grade transcripts down on the table, chastised him for being an obviously lazy student and told him that unless things changed, Notre Dame wouldn't waste another minute recruiting him. Word is the shocked lineman is now vowing to take his classes much more seriously this school year. Weis has already received commitments from two St. Ignatius High standouts, receiver Robby Parris and defensive end John Ryan, for 2006.

Guest Irish19 Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I read that too. Good to know our coach has his priorites in the right order (Cough, Cough, Bowdens). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ryan Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Man that's awesome. To have him lecture the recruit instead of persuade him makes me think a lot higher of Weis (well more than I already did). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Champion10 Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Does anyone know who the lineman is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockne3d 0 Posted July 28, 2005 Author Share Posted July 28, 2005 No, but it has to be an Ohio kid. It was an Ohio journalist and the entire article was about Ohio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Snatchy_McPants Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I'm not sure what's more refreshing, Charlie going in and busting the kid's chops or the kid actually responding and showing the desire to be at ND. The will to do the work to EARN a spot on the Notre Dame football roster. The desire to play for Charlie Weis. Good Stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
