If the OSU defense could beat up a Gator like these Columbus natives, the game may have been closer.

7. Notre Dame Fighting Irish - (IrishEyes.com)

Jimmy Clausen (QB)
Gary Gray (CB)

The big fish that got away:
Justin Trattou (DE)

Notre Dame has one of the top offensive recruiting classes in the nation with quarterback Jimmy Clausen, running backs Armando Allen and Robert Hughes, wide receivers Greg Little, Duval Kamara and Golden Tate, tight end Mike Ragone and offensive linemen Chris Little, Emeka Nwankwo, Taylor Devor, Matt Romine and Andrew Nuss. The other side of the ball is a different story. The Irish lost defensive end Just Trattou to Florida. Cornerback Gary Gray, safety Harrison Smith and defensive end Kerry Neal are the headliners on the Notre Dame defensive side.

Major is a Gator

JasonPeters Yesterday to the GT Yellow Jackets and now Another player. This one going to the Florida Gators. Another Defensive player off the board and the hits keep coming against the Irish.

Corwin Brown will need to do some magical things this coming year with a young defense. Once he does, the recruits for 2008 will come. It takes time to build (rebuild) a program, and this is no different.

Thank you IRT for the laugh

The IRISHROUNDTABLE.COM has a great post about the Gators latest commit and the class of 2007.

Trattou has reasons for departure

Not good ones in my estimation, but they are reasons.

"In a 3-4, they'd want me to play rush end or outside linebacker, and while that's tempting, that's not really where I see myself," Trattou said. "I've always been a down lineman and that's what I prefer. At the end of the day, that makes a big difference."

STORY

A little lame for an excuse in my opinion, but that is his story and he will stick to it.

Could this be the open door Jason Peters was looking for? He is a perfect fit in the new scheme.

Justin Trattou

The Gator Gravy Train continues rumbling as yet another five star defensive line prospect jumped aboard. Justin Trattou of Ramsey (NJ) Don Bosco Prep decided Thursday that he would change his commitment from Notre Dame to Florida. The Gators’ mass exodus on the defensive line means Trattou will help fill a huge need for 2007.
