Sorry for recapping so many quotes from the article, but this is another top notch piece from Irish Eyes. Fleming is a very well-rounded kid. I can't wait to watch him play next year!!!!
"I rode in rodeos from age six to 12," Darius said. "I have two horses that I keep at a stable. It’s something I still do today and probably something that I’ll always be involved in."
"I bought him his first bowling ball at age seven," Nelson said. "It took time, but he mastered the game. I’ve been bowling in leagues for 25 years and he’s better than me."
"Notre Dame was my 10th or 11th offer," Darius said. "At first me and my dad didn’t like them so much, but we went down there and everything was great."
"I loved his decision," Nelson said. "He couldn’t have made a better choice."

Great post TDTATE & great re-cap zoomzoom.
On the defensive side of the ball, I expect to see Fleming the most (of the FR). The following are the other Freshman I can see making an impact: E. Johnson, B. Newman, H. Williams.
Cwynar = Even though he had an early start, he should (like all FR) still need a year to develop.
Filer/Mac/Poz = It's hard to come in and play ILB as a Freshman. However, one of these three will get on the field somehow.
McCarthy, Blanton, Slaughter = Too much talent for them to see the field other than on special teams.
Regardless, our defense is starting to get STOCKPILED!!!
