Notre Dame’s Fight Irish - the five most important players of the 2011 recruiting class

GO IRISH!!!!

As a 1969 ND graduate who only missed seven open practices in four years, I say Aaron Lynch will be the biggest impact freshman player since Ross Browner or Steve Niehaus. However ND needs more throwback ND players like Captain Harrison "Hayseed" Smith who are not waiting for a $25,000,000 NFL contract but are ready to give it all for the Golden Dome.
