(Note: I know articles have been recruiting heavy, but that is what is going on for Notre Dame until February.)

Brian Kelly is getting his introduction into big time college football recruiting as we speak. Trying to make his message stick over the likes of guys like Nick Saban-who would probably devour his own young to sign the next Tim Tebow. (In other words, he’s not in the non-competitive world of Kansas anymore, battling the likes of, well, Kansas for a recruit’s services.)

Recruiting is a dog eat dog world, and there are numerous challenges when going against the big boys.

For example:

Battling the new recruiting king, Lane Kiffin-who basically has a Stephen Hawking-like genius when it comes to understanding the whims of young men, and how to recruit them. Long has it been known that recruits can be enticed by beautiful women to campus. Beautiful naked women. Beautiful naked women that will serve pleasure for no cost at all, all night long. (Heretofore known as the Jesus Shuttlesworth Treatment.) But, evil genius Lane took it even a step further. He didn’t even wait to get the recruits on campus. He sent beautiful women to the high schools of the recruits he coveted, in order to get them acquainted. Throwing ridiculously hot women (the kind of hot these kids probably haven’t seen before) into the laps of these kids when they are 16 and 17 years old-how could they say no to this?

Come to UT, boys!

Is Kelly ready for the battle?
