We all knew the importance of the Michigan game last weekend. Two storied programs battling for the upper-hand in college football history. Rivalry aside, Brian Kelly had much more on his plate this past weekend as multiple high-profile recruits visited the campus to get their dose of Notre Dame. Despite the on-field shortcomings that we witnessed this weekend, Irish faithful have 3 reasons to celebrate today.
Following the 11 o-clock commitment of Justice Hayes on Friday morning, Coach Kelly and the Fighting Irish kept the momentum going throughout the day by landing 4-star DE Anthony Rabasa and 3-star CB Jalen Brown. The buck didn't stop there when the 2011 class added the biggest defensive recruit since Manti Teo as Aaron Lynch pledged his commitment to the Fighting Irish. Lynch, a 4 star defensive end with ideal size and nose for the football, served as the book-end of a 4 commitment 24-hour stretch that has the Irish fan base drooling as the 2010 season approaches.
Aaron Lynch, of Cape Coral, FL, chose to spend his college career in South Bend ignoring offers from the Gators, the Seminoles, the Hurricanes and the defending champs. Click here for Lynch's highlight video
Also hailing from Florida, Anthony Rabasa chose ND over the likes of Florida, FSU, and LSU.
Jalen Brown, a defensive back from Irving Texas, chose ND over Nebraska, Wisconsin, and Texas Tech among others. Brown pledged his allegiance to the Irish without evening visiting the campus in South Bend.

Notre Dame's 2011 recruiting class added a major prospect with Grand Blanc, MI running back Justice Hayes pledging his allegiance to the Fighting Irish this morning. This all-purpose back is a perfect fit for the athletic mold that head coach Brian Kelly is forming in South Bend.
Ben Councell, a 6 foot 5 inch, 225 pound outside linebacker from North Carolina pledged his allegiance to Brian Kelly and the Fighting Irish. Councell's combination of size and speed (he runs a 4.4 second 40 yard dash!) makes him an exciting addition to a class that is shaping up well for Notre Dame.
Safety Eilar Hardy of Pickerington, Ohio is the 11th commit of the 2011 class for Notre Dame. Check out this kid's athleticism!
Incoming WR Bennett Jackson of Hazlet, NJ won the state 110 hurdles event.
This kid is electric on the football field too! It is not a stretch to imagine Jackson contributing on the field this fall.
Go Irish!
Here's the latest highlight video of our top QB recruit, Andrew Hendrix. This kid's arm is considered the strongest of the 2010 class by many. This video also captures Andrew's foot speed.
Welcome to the University of Notre Dame, Andrew!
