Assessing the talent: Great athlete that prefers to play tight end. Notre Dame appears to be the early leader.

Odds of becoming a Cornhusker: 15% Althought the Huskers wsere the first to offer, as Irish said, with a name like Paddy, did the Huskers really have a chance??

Nebraska has made sure to keep the letter-writing campaign up with Paddy as that has been the majority of his communication with the Cornhuskers. He does plan to call Kevin Cosgrove, his primary recruiter, this week. On Cosgrove, Mullen said, “I think he’s very professional, he came and visited my varsity football coach who said he’s very good and knows what he’s talking about, that impressed me very much.

Rumors abound that he wants to go to Notre Dame. Grew up Catholic.....

Mullen will be in Lincoln this week for the spring game

Mullen has given his verbal commitment to Weis and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish

I think this was one of those "saw it coming" things. I don't think it's a huge loss for the Huskers though. They've got plenty of nice OL and TE prospects in the works.

After getting McCarthy and Quinn last year, adding Mullen to the mix might require a name change from Fightin' Irish to Sinn Fein.

IRISH!

Honestly, were we going to beat out Notre Dame for a guy named "Paddy"?

:rollin

have you seen a picture of this guy? he looks kind of scary anyways. I dont know if i want to be with in 500 miles of him, so I guess i wont miss him on the huskers too much. Besides, in two years we will be able to line up Tomerlin and Herian at the same time. Paddy who?

 

[IrishAZ]

That's the thing about this kid, Stuck. If you dont' want to be within 500 miles of him, imagine the guy who has to line up across from him.

The Irish need all the help they can get.

Well, we got a big bump by hiring a staff and HC that know what they're doing and actually spend time on the road recruiting.

My insider buddy at NDU tells me that Weis & Co. have spent the same amount of logged travel time already this year as Ty's staff did in all of 2003.

That's gotta tell you something.

That might end up being Callahan's saving grace - he's not shy about the recruiting trail, no mistake there.

IRISH!
