So much competition at ND..and I read on transcripts released by the University that most positions have a depth of 3 people..there was a photo taken of last SAturday where Kelley had like 4 or 5 QB's standing around him taking signals and that didn't incude Christ. I hate to hear this because the program is storied with tradition and is a place for a high education, but looks like he wants instant playing time and it isn't going to happen at ND.

Not going to happen at Ohio either, has to sit this year, and depending on where he goes (which side of the ball), Ohio is stacked at skill positions, and has Bates returning at QB, TE maybe, or LB two areas that Cats are very thin.

DocPanther, where are you? I figured a guy like you would be all over this information.

Not saying it's not true but nothing yet on any ND website. I talked to the moderator at Irish Eyes and he had not heard a word about this.

I stand by my statement, and to offer proof, have not seen a drove of Tiger supporters thowing poison darts at me yet. I am happy, closer to home, and a better chance to play a position he wants.

Considering OU started classes already I would say he will be sitting at home until winter quarter.

Usually after a kid gets out of it that is the end. I would say his football career is probably over. Good luck with your education. Quality young man.

Might be a regrettable decision once the smoke clears.

Wrong, as long as he gets in by next week he is good to go. Students can still add and drop classes at this time.

Hope it works out for him. Giving up 5 years of free education from ND might be a mistake but who knows.

Best of luck to him. Is he getting an academic Scholarship or something. I would think they would have awarded all of their athletic scholarships for the year.

I agree, why give up ND for OU, uugghhh !!!!! (Even if you have to sit, unless you're a surefire NFL prospect an education at an institution such as Notre Dame is the way to go).

That's right, I agree with Pol Pot. Roback has got until late next week to get his classes. Lil' carbon is enrolled too.

Remember seeing him play one game in hs.

Obviously, education was not the decision here. Here you have a guy who obviously wants to play. You go from one of the most conservative institutions to one of the most liberal. Nice. Like Dutch said, hope it works out for the kid.
