Hard to argue. Season surpassed my expectations. ND had a lead in the national championship game. called a fake punt and a reverse pass. Beat UGA and PSU Won the Sugar Bowl and the Orange Bowl. Solid, Solid Season.

Under Armour All-American Jordon James (Corona, Calif.) took his third official visit this year to Notre Dame and came home raving about his time in South Bend.
Β
James is one of the nation's elite running backs and has already visited Washington and Cal. The trip to Notre Dame was his first outside the West and the only non-Pac 10 school he plans to visit.
Β
"When I look back at the visit, the first thing that comes to mind for me about is just the game atmosphere," James said. "It was crazy there and it was one of the loudest stadium I've been in. We saw a great game and I really thought they were going to pull it out at the end there.
Β
"Another thing that really stood out, that I liked a lot, was talking with the coaches there. They focused more on academics than anything and barely talked about football. It seemed like they were more concerned with me as a regular person and student than anything else and that was cool. Coach Polian is the one recruiting me and it was good to meet him in person but I talked a lot with Coach Weis and Coach Alford, the running back coach as well."
Β
James was hosted by fellow West Coaster Ethan Johnson (Oregon) and said he got along great with the players and students at the school.
Β
"It was a great match because Ethan and I have very similar personalities," James said. "All the players were great and it was cool meeting the regular students on campus as well. Coach Weis has a policy where he makes all the incoming freshman room with someone who doesn't play a sport and it helps you meet a lot more people. After your first year, you can room with anyone but a lot of of people there were saying they stick to their normal roommates because of the friendships they make.
Β
"It's an incredible campus and there's so much tradition there. They have 58 different churches on campus and my mom and I visited one and it was incredible. The only real negative and it really wasn't even a negative was the weather. I'm not going to lie, it was freezing there but it's nothing I couldn't get used to. My mom loved the place as well and overall, Notre Dame is definitely high on my list."
Β
"In fact, I would say following the visit, I'm considering Notre Dame a lot more than I ever was before. My eyes were definitely opened up to a lot of things there. At Notre Dame, it's not just about football, it's about life after football and the support the students have really prepares them for after they graduate and that's important to me."
As for early playing time and depth charts, James said that's not something he ever concerns him with.
Β
"I haven't even looked at the depth chart at any of my schools really," James said. "Everywhere you go, there is going to be great players already there. The way I figure it, if I go in and work hard, I'll be able to play.
Β
"So far I've had three trips and I'm looking forward to my last two to Arizona and UCLA. My plan is once I finish off my last visit, I'll sit down with my family and evaluate everything and decide where the best place for me is. Right now, everyone has an equal and fair shot."
