Defensive tackle Matt Elam took a photo of Notre Dame’s efforts to recruit the 6-foot-6, 350-pound defensive tackle. The Fighting Irish are … persistent.

If you’re going to send more than one letter, why stop at 262? Why not send 300? And vary it up a little bit.

Send him Harry & David pears or some Moose Crunch. Recruits like pears as much as the next person and they probably love Moose Crunch. You know what else recruits like? Flowers (maybe?). A seasonal bouquet would have gone a long way in showing that they really care.

Elam is the seventh best high school prospect in his class and is also being recruited by Alabama and Kentucky according to 247Sports. There’s no question that Notre Dame is winning the postage battle. Not losing to Pittsburgh would have probably helped too.
