James will be Irish when all is said and done.

Several sources have stated that James is expected to announce for ND this Wed.

James spoke about the opportunity of playing early at ND, which wouldn't be the case at tOSU. He also stated that UC wasn't even at option at this point.
No kidding dude.

James is expected to decide between tOSU and ND on Wed around noon.

Sentreal Henderson could wind up at USC, instead of tOSU. What seemed like a virtual lock for ND, James could waver and wind up in Columbus. Tomorrow is going to be a fun day (as long as the UC recruits don't waver).

God bless your soul, and your family and friends.

I heard about this earlier this evening and couldn't believe it. Very sad.

RIP

Sometimes we (as fans) need to step back and realize there is more to life than just sports.

God bless his family and friends.

PANAMA CITY, Fla. - St. Xavier offensive lineman Matt James, one of the nation’s most sought-after football recruits, died Friday in a fall from a hotel balcony on a Gulf of Mexico beach while on spring break.

James, 17, died almost instantly after falling from a third-floor balcony at about 6:25 p.m. at the Days Inn on Front Beach Road, according to police reports cited by WJHG-TV in Panama City.

Luke Massa, St. Xavier’s senior quarterback last fall and a fellow Notre Dame recruit, was with James in Florida.

“Luke is devastated,” Massa’s father, Gary, said late Friday. “He lost one of his best friends.”

Added Massa of James: “This kid was a great kid, I can tell you that.”

Fox19 reporting that the toxicology report showed BAC of twice limit for Florida. I posted this not because it's news, but to say....give the kid and family a break already.
Nobody is shocked or surprised at all, nor do I need to see it on twitter.
