A Large, Florida State-like Black Hole has been spotted in northern Indiana.

Well, looky-here at who’s atop the national recruiting rankings thus far in college football. According to Rivals.com, its our old friend Notre Dame in their assumed position as reaper of the choicest high school talent in the nation – a position they are seemingly in every year. Of course, given Notre Dame’s lack of success of late, this can be interpreted one of two ways: either Rivals.com overrates the players Notre Dame recruits or the fat man isn’t the coach he would like you to believe he is. Since Rivals is about the most respected recruiting service around and the ranking process too transparent, we tend to lean towards the latter.

Look, we know schadenfreude is a very unbecoming emotion but we hope that the university continues to choke on that monstrous 10-year contract they gave to Charlie Weis a couple of years ago. Like Florida St., Notre Dame is becoming the place where 4 and 5-star recruits disappear.

One of our favorite sports columnists, Jason Whitlock, had some thoughts on the Great Weis Hope, here.

You don't sell many magazines or much advertising space by telling the masses that Towson State has the nation's #1 recruiting class.
