Coach Weis has gotten a couple of commits to think about the switch from offense to defensive line.
IAN WILLIAMS--Recruited as a defensive lineman. Will do very well, but without help, may be in trouble.
ANDREW NUSS--Was asked and delivered. Charlie spoke with the young man and he decided that for the betterment of the team, he would move to the DL. He is big, fast and athletic, but he is a freshman coming in.
Notre Dame has needs on both side of the ball, but their need along the defensive front may be greater than their need at offensive guard. Emeka Nwankwo (6-foot-5, 270 pounds) will be happy no matter what position he plays, but he would like a chance to play defense.
The team will be fine in two years, but what about 2007? The athletes that Weis has coming in are different than in the past. Different in a couple of respects:
1: They all have the confidence needed to come in and play
2: They are all cocky enough to think they can come in and make an immediate impact.
I like both of these qualities. Very important will be the role of the New Defensive coordinator. What defense will the Irish run? The 3-4 D will be my guess. We shall see.
