Where? Notre Dame, That's Ware

KiJuan Ware, a Dartmouth defensive assistant in 2004 and a wide receivers coach in 2005, has joined the coaching staff at Notre Dame. Ware, most recently the recruiting coordinator and wide receivers coach at Georgetown, will be an offensive intern for the Fighting Irish and head coach Charlie Weis. While neither Georgetown nor Notre Dame has posted an announcement on the Internet, Ware is now listed in the Notre Dame football directory. Until it is taken down, you can find Ware's bio on the Georgetown web site here.

A couple of promising football players who succeeded in other sports at Dartmouth are in the news. Former baseball standout Eddie Lucas '04, who probably would have been the Big Green's starting quarterback in 2001 (see earlier Green Alert post) has been promoted to the Kansas City Royals' Triple-A team in Omaha. He's mentioned in this release. Find his current minor league bio here.

Lacrosse standout Chad Gaudet, whose promising career as a running back was derailed by a knee injury, has earned All-Ivy Academic honors this spring. Dartmouth's news release on the All-Ivy lax player can be found here.

Two more schools have released their recruiting lists. Find the Penn list here. ... For the Harvard list, click here.

The Harvard Crimson's graduation issue lauds the job head football coach Tim Murphy did last year while leading Harvard to a stunning upset of previously unbeaten Yale and the Ivy League title. ... Speaking of Yale, Jack Siedlecki is featured in the transcript of an espn.com roundtable discussion with coaches who toured the Middle East recently. What jumps off the page from Siedlecki's answer is just how important The Game between Yale and Harvard really is. The story is pretty long and I admit to skipping over the answers by the other coaches, but Siedlecki's responses are definitely worth reading.
