2 Players Transfer [B]From: AD Subject: Brian Tippett goes elsewhere [/B] Unfortunately, WR Brian Tippett has decided to leave our school and head to Northwestern. This will make our upcoming recruiting season even more crucial. Therefore, I will try and get you a little extra money for recruiting since we now have another open scholarship. Still, we need to be careful when setting playing time to make sure our top kids stay happy. We can't afford to keep losing players of Brian's ability. [B]From: AD Subject: Curtis Williams goes elsewhere [/B] Unfortunately, DE Curtis Williams has decided to leave our school and head to Northern Illinois. This will make our upcoming recruiting season even more crucial. Therefore, I will try and get you a little extra money for recruiting since we now have another open scholarship. Still, we need to be careful when setting playing time to make sure our top kids stay happy. We can't afford to keep losing players of Curtis's ability.

Bit of Bad News... [U]We had 9 scholarships available going into recruiting before receiving this email.[/U] [B]From: WR Nate Ecklund Subject: Going pro[/B] Coach, I just wanted to be the first to tell you that I have decided to go pro. My family and I talked with some people affiliated with the pros and they assured me that I would be a high pick in the upcoming draft. I really want to thank you for all your help and patience with me as a player. Your efforts have helped me land in this position and I will never forget that. Good luck in the upcoming season and I will be pulling for you guys. Sincerely, Nate Ecklund [U]We now have 10 scholarships available for the current recruiting season.[/U]

On the Recruiting Front [B][U]Recruit Class Rank: 51st[/U][/B] [B]From: AD Frankie Bryant Subject: Final recruit signings The following recruits ended up coming to Notre Dame:[/B] [B][U]QB Clarence Ortego, 4-stars Bushnell Prairie City (Bushnell, IL) National Rank: 216, Regional: 54, Position: 21[/U][/B] [I]So far, his accuracy hasn't stood out. Probably won't ever have an above average completion percentage. The touch passing part of his game will eventually be above average. Arm strength should develop nicely and be above average for a college quarterback. As he develops a better feel for scrambling, he will disrupt defenses with his legs.[/I] [B][U]RB Bernard Robinson, 5-stars Pike (Indianapolis, IN) National Rank: 9, Regional: 2, Position: 5[/U][/B] [I]Has the body type to be a devastating between the tackles runner. Has the potential to be one of the best pass catching RB's in college football. Should eventually have enough breakaway speed to compete at this level. His ability to pick up blitzers will be a very valuable asset.[/I] [B][U]WR Steve Johnston, 4-stars Hill McCloy (Montrose, MI) National Rank: 319, Regional: 73, Position: 41[/U][/B] [I]While somewhat raw now, he's expected to become a solid pass catcher. I think he'll run some good routes with more experience. He'll have some speed; just needs to learn how to use it on the football field. With more practice, he'll be making the kind of runs that make would be tacklers look silly.[/I] [B][U]TE Blaine Murphy, 5-stars Northland (MN), Grandville, MI, HS - MI National Rank: 95, Regional: 20, Position: 3[/U][/B] [I]Has the natural tools needed to become an awesome receiver with just a little more work. With continued commitment, he will eventually run reliable routes. He's continually getting faster. When it's all said and done, I think he'll have jaw dropping speed for a TE. His aggressive tendencies will serve him very well as he continues to grow.[/I] [B][U]C Calvin Jenkins, 3-stars Thomas Worthington (Worthington, OH) National Rank: 911, Regional: 189, Position: 27[/U][/B] [I]As he improves his footwork, I look for him to become a solid run blocker. With the time and effort he puts into it, he should become a better than average pass blocker. This kid is more of a laid back type and probably won't ever play with more than average aggression. You don't need to be an expert to see that this kid may become one of the strongest linemen in the conference. [/I] [B][U]DT Hunter Rice, 4-stars Sleepy Eye (Sleepy Eye, MN) National Rank: 180, Regional: 39, Position: 23[/U][/B] [I]This kid really seems to 'get it' and I believe he will become an awesome force against the run. He'll develop an aggressive style that will rally his teammates and excite the fans. He's on his way to establishing the kind of speed you don't normally associate with a defensive lineman. As he gets stronger he'll be able to do some things that will ratchet his game up a notch or two.[/I] [B][U]DE Bob Mecklenburg, 3-stars Climax-Scotts (Climax, MI) National Rank: 946, Regional: 197, Position: 68[/U][/B] [I]His ability to rush the passer probably won't ever be better than average. He is expected to become a solid tacker for a defensive end. As he lets his instincts take over, he will become a much more aggressive player. This guy will have the type of speed that will make him almost impossible to deal with.[/I] [B][U]OLB Shawn McWatters, 4-stars Flora (Flora, IL) National Rank: 104, Regional: 21, Position: 8[/U][/B] [I]He has all the tools necessary to become a dominating blitzing linebacker. He works out with a ferocity that should ensure that he will turn into one of the strongest linebackers in the nation. Once this kid solidifies his technique and can let loose, his aggressiveness will really help his game. His instincts won't carry him to the next level but they should end up being adequate for his position.[/I] [B][U]CB Bobby Harry, 3-stars Bolingbrook (Bolingbrook, IL) National Rank: 640, Regional: 137, Position: 53[/U][/B] [I]He's still learning the tricks of the trade but he will eventually be a solid man cover corner. Really concentrates on overall athleticism which will help him develop agility at a high level. As he continues to improve, his tackling ability will just add to his overall game. As his knowledge of the position increases, his instincts should rise to an adequate level. [/I] [B][U]FS Ron Burke, 3-stars Detroit Catholic Central (Redford, MI) National Rank: 539, Regional: 117, Position: 20[/U][/B] [I]His recent interest in martial arts training will help him develop plenty of agility for a safety. All signs point toward him developing some pretty good tackling skills in the future. As he keeps working hard to improve, he should someday be pretty good in zone pass coverage. He's expected to develop good instincts as he is given more playing time.[/I]
