Hubbard's Hughes giving new thought to ND

 

January 12, 2007

In the wake of Notre Dame running back Darius Walker's decision to declare for the NFL draft rather than return in 2007, Hubbard's Robert Hughes is having second thoughts about his recruiting.

Hughes, who was scheduled to announce his college choice last Saturday during the U.S. Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio, said he felt a lot of pressure and couldn't make up his mind between Notre Dame and Illinois, though it was said at the time he was leaning toward Illinois.

 

On Thursday, however, Hughes said he was 50/50 between the schools and would announce his decision Jan. 23 at Hubbard. He has said one of his prime considerations in choosing a school is an opportunity to play as soon as possible.

 

Meanwhile, Notre Dame landed a commitment from 6-6, 350-pound offensive lineman Chris Little of Jeffersonville, Ga., a top-100 prospect who had committed to Florida State during the U.S. Army game.

 

''Notre Dame was Chris' No. 1 school the whole time,'' said Dexter Copeland, Little's high school coach. ''There just was some miscommunication. He thought his mother wanted him to stay close to home, but his mother liked Notre Dame. This is not a slap in the face to Florida State.''

Walker has become a VERY important part to our 2007 class.

 

Hughes, you mean.

 

my bad. Hughes.

 

Actually speaking...'Rockne' was initially correct. Darius, in leaving for the NFL...has possibly re-opened a door with Robert Hughes...who may now see a better opportunity with the Irish?

 

Sorry to see you go Darius, good luck...but thank you for helping us with Robert!

Ok...it is Hughes who would be a part of our 2007 class, so the correct name to put in the original sentence is Hughes.

 

If you wanted to say that Walker's departure could now have a big impact on who enters the 2007 class, I see your point.

 

Let's just hope they get him so we can stop arguing about grammar on this thread and start talking depth chart.

'cj'...your good my man. It was nothing about grammer or names...just a figure of initial intent. Thinking was basic...with Darius going, hopefully Robert will see himself as a bigger part of what is to be at Notre Dame? Again...no slight intended here...
