We knew Notre Dame had some moves to make regarding running back recruiting, and moves have been made indeed. Lance Taylor reached out to top 50 running back LJ Johnson, a Texas product with offers from major programs all over the country and no clear time table as to when he will be making his decision.
The latter nugget there is excellent news for Notre Dame since they are a bit late to the game with Johnson with the May offer. If his recruitment is going to extend into the fall and perhaps beyond the early signing period, the Irish have plenty of time to make up ground.
