Why not to get too excited over a recruit.

From ESPN online:

SAN ANTONIO -- Detroit Tigers outfielder Torii Hunter confirmed Tuesday evening that his son, Notre Dame football commit and ESPN 150 wide receiver Torii Hunter Jr., suffered a broken left femur during U.S. Army All-American Bowl morning workouts at the Blossom Athletic Center.

Out 6-8 months and up to a year to fully recover.

It can happen to any of them.

That sucks no matter who the team is the recruit has chosen. Never want this to happen and it's a real risk. I totally understand when a Blue Chipper chooses not to play in extravaganzas like this. Here is to a speedy and full recovery for the young man.

Not to be too contrarian, but without involving themselves in activities that present risk of injury blue chip recruits would never develop the skills that make them blue chip recruits. And not just elite athletes. My 14-year-old son isn't going to be a scholarship athlete, but we still know our way to the emergency room and could tell you about good orthopedists in the Lewisville-Flower Mound area.

Is ND going to honor the scholarship?

I can think of other reasons:

Ryan Periloux
Daryl Scott
Garrett Gilbert
etc., etc., etc.
