football recruiting oped into the caliber of player that can thrive in the NFL. "Most kids are looking at three things — facilities, how many guys you put in the NFL and girls. That's really it," Lemming said. "Every kid is looking at trying to get to the next level. I think they believe that Harry is a guy that can get them to the next level." Nelson had a lot more on his mind than the aforementioned criteria, especially after his unofficial visit to South Bend on April 6. "Notre Dame has the No. 1 business school in the country, and I loved the campus there, as well as the religion factor," Nelson explained. "Then, after seeing Coach Hiestand with his players, and seeing how much Coach Kelly wanted me, I just felt it was the best fit for me academically, spiritually and athletically." Now that the hardest part of the recruiting process is out of the way, there are other goals on which to focus. "I definitely am going to help recruit other great players to come to Notre Dame," Nelson explained. "But I'm also going to enjoy the relief of making this decision. "I can't wait to run out of that tunnel for the first time. Just all the history of the school and the fact that so many alumni will be cheering me on and hoping I succeed every week is special. I also want to win some national championships during my time in school and thrive academically as a student." ✦ Notre Dame Wall Clock This ready-to-mount Notre Dame football-theme clock features high-quality quartz movement that has been tested for accuracy, so you'll never have to worry about being late to the stadium! • Measures approximately 10.5" in diameter • Accurate quartz movement • Vivid ND logo and graphics • Turf-accented rim • Requires one AA battery (not included) • Made of durable plastic • Officially licensed collegiate product • Printed in the U.S.A. $23.95 plus $7.50 S&H within continental U.S. Tax (NC 7%, IN 7%, MI 6%) For Faster Service On Credit Card Orders, Call Item #6470 1-800-421-7751 Or Fax Your Order To: (919) 682-1532 BLUE & GOLD ILLUSTRATED • P.O.
