I won’t have much to say on this one, my wife and her family are massive Notre Dame fans (her family grew up in South Bend), so I have watched much more of Notre Dame than Ohio State, although I get the info I need from one of my closest friends in Justin Higdon.
So, I don’t have a whole lot on the prospects in terms of hours watched yet, but Bleacher Report gave some interesting pro player comparisons.
Check em’ out and let me know if you’ve watched enough and see it too (Note, I only added prospects who I think fit in AZ).
