Matt James To Follow Kelly To Notre Dame?

Could the hiring of Brian Kelly as Notre Dame?s head coach mean that prized offensive line recruit Matt James is likely to join him in South Bend?
James (6-8, 290) is one of two highly-rated OL prospects that Ohio State would love to land to close out its 2010 recruiting class. The other is Seantrel Henderson (6-8, 310) from St. Paul, Minn., and he is also trying to decide between the Buckeyes and Fighting Irish. Ohio State has just one offensive lineman in its 2010 class thus far, that being Andrew Norwell (6-7, 275) from Cincinnati Anderson.
As for James, he is out of Cincinnati St. Xavier and for months has been torn between OSU, Notre Dame and the hometown UC Bearcats. His father is a UC graduate and is also a big Kelly fan. The family is Catholic.
That led me to this conclusion: James is probably going to follow Kelly to Notre Dame. It's by no means a sure thing, but appears highly likely.
