ND Game, Crist?

I remember LSU was one of his top choices back during his recruiting process, but he of course picked ND.

Stupid decision, Dayne, stupid decision.

Senior Evan Sharpley is the backup. Dayne Crist is a true freshman and is redshirting.

Link to a story I posted way back when on Crist, and how he came close, at least at one time, to commiting to LSU. And just maybe an indication on how later visits are advantageous.

LSU was Crist’s first trip. And if he hadn’t already set up all the others, he’d likely be heading to Baton Rouge. He liked the campus, the coaches, felt comfortable with everything. Coach Charlie Weis can thank Crist’s advance booking for bringing him to South Bend.

“I was very close to (committing to LSU), very, very close,” Crist said. “Then I took the trip to Stanford, and I liked that a lot, but I was still thinking LSU. Then I went to a couple practices at (USC) and talked with coach (Pete) Carroll and coach (Steve) Sarkisian a couple times before I went to Notre Dame, like two or three times.
