Old pal Charlie is stacking the deck for the future

Brady_and_Weis.jpgHe’s not in New England anymore, but Charlie Weis has got himself another quarterback with a golden arm...at least as far as high school players go.

This weekend Jimmy Clausen decided the former Patriots assistant coach was the guy for him, committing to Notre Dame and leaving the former Patriots head coach, Pete Carroll of USC, high and dry.

Clausen, the brother of former Tennessee University quarterback Casey Clausen, is ranked by many as the top high school prospect in the nation for the class of 2007. The California native weighs in at 6’3� and 200 pounds.

Last season Fighting Irish quarterback Brady Quinn set school records for passing yards in a season with 3,633 and touchdowns with 32.

By the time Clausen arrives, Quinn will have graduated, paving the way for the four years of Weis and Clausen.

Which happens next, the Patriots winning another Super Bowl, Notre Dame winning another national championship in football, or USC bouncing back for another national title?
