    Guess maybe ND football just isn't that high and mighty any more in the eyes of the NCAA to recommend forfeiting 2 full seasons.

    ND fans are already livid the way this season has gone; they'll be jumping off cliffs over this. Just saw same thing. This is from NDInsider: http://www.ndinsider.com/football/notre-dame-committed-ncaa-violations-may-have-to-vacate-wins/article_83158fda-b04b-11e6-8785-9f5a06270876.html A former University of Notre Dame student athletic trainer violated NCAA ethical conduct rules when she committed academic misconduct for two football student-athletes and provided six other football student-athletes with impermissible academic extra benefits, a Division I Committee on Infractions panel announced. One additional football student-athlete committed academic misconduct on his own.

    That plus the fact he only took a total of 5 shots but that was his stat line.

    (2017) CB Quran Hafiz

    Jacksonville (Florida) Sandalwood cornerback Quran Hafiz is nearing the end of his recruitment, and knows when he's announcing his decision. The 247Sports Composite three-star cornerback tweeted Sunday night that he's making his decision between Illinois, Indiana, Iowa State and Nebraska on Dec. 19. He will also be signing that day and enrolling for the spring semester wherever he commits. Hafiz, who is ranked as the No. 85 cornerback in the class of 2017, has taken official visits to all four schools, in addition to Minnesota. He has developed tight relationships with many of the coaches recruiting him, and is close with multiple players on the teams he's considering. He said Nebraska corner and Florida native Chris Jones is "like a brother" and he played with current Indiana true freshman receiver Phil Benker at Sandalwood. Iowa State is scheduled to get his final official visit this coming weekend. Hafiz committed to the Cyclones in July, then decommitting in September. Nebraska leads Iowa State in his Crystal Ball, and all four predictions for Iowa State were made the day he committed there in July.

    Chris Solari - Detroit Free Press EAST LANSING – Here is the full explanation official Bo Boroski gave to a pool reporter about the final 1.6 seconds of Michigan State’s 78-77 win over Florida Gulf Coast on Sunday night that ended in a “timing error.” Boroski statement: “A timing error occurred with 1.6 seconds remaining on the game clock. Since a timing error occurred, we are able to utilize the replay monitor. A stopwatch was used to determine if any time should remain on the game clock. Using a stopwatch, it was determined the ball was caught and released in 1.3 seconds, meaning if the shot would have gone in, it would have counted. After the miss there was no time remaining in the game, therefore ending the game. By rule the possession cannot be replayed. Period.” Reporter: “The timing, the clock, is that kept by you guys or is that there on the tables?” Boroski: “Starting and stopping the game clock?” Reporter: “Yes.” Boroski: “So the officials had the capability to start the game clock, and the whistles stop the game clock. The timer on the sideline has that capability as well.” Reporter: “OK, which kind of confuses me so...” Boroski: “Well so there’s four ways for the game clock to start and stop. The three officials, and the timer on the sideline.” Reporter: “OK, so when something like that happens you’re all starting it and they’re starting it on the sideline I guess is what...” Boroski: “All four of us have the capability. When the timing error occurred it allowed us to utilize the monitor. OK, and then that’s when we break out the stopwatch. At that point, as the statement read, we have to determine what’s the, because play didn’t stop. If that try is released after the 1.6 we are going to wave it off. If that try is released before the 1.6 we are going to count it. It was determined it was released before the 1.6, we were prepared to count it. It did not go in, and using the stopwatch we didn’t need to put any time back on the clock because it had expired.”

    (2017) SG Curtis Haywood II to Georgia Tech

    From MadeHoops: One of the biggest breakout players at the National Prep Showcase this year was Brewster Academy’s Curtis Haywood II. The senior wing had two stellar performances and made more of a national name for himself. Plenty of exposure comes with playing at Brewster with the amount of talent they have every year. Haywood has liked playing with other high level talent at Brewster. “We like playing with each other so we have built some good team chemistry,” said Haywood. He has a good mix of high major and mid major schools recruiting him. “I talk with Georgia Tech, Tulsa, Arkansas and Illinois as well as Indiana a little bit,” he said. “Tulsa, Georgia Tech and Illinois State have offered me so far. Indiana and Colorado are new schools that have jumped into the picture.” Josh Pastner and his coaching staff have made him a priority. “Georgia Tech would be the school that is recruiting me the hardest so far,” he told MADE Hoops. His recruitment won’t be coming to a close anytime soon. “For my recruiting timeline, I don’t have visits planned just yet and I am probably going to commit to a school in the middle of the season,” Haywood said.
