One massive recruiting weekend continues to pay dividends for Notre Dame.

Giovanni Bernard, one of the recruits jam-packing the sideline for the Irish-USC game, has committed orally to play for Notre Dame starting in 2010, according to multiple reports.

The 5-foot-9-inch, 198-pound Bernard plays for St. Thomas Aquinas in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., one of the nation's premier high school programs. Bernard is a four-star player and the nation's No. 162 recruit, according to Rivals, and the No. 12 running back.

"Academics were important to him," St. Thomas coach George Smith told the Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel. "He liked the atmosphere there and I think he wanted to get out of the area."

Bernard is teammates with another high-profile target for the Irish: Five-star defensive back Lamarcus Joyner, the nation's No. 14 overall player.

How about going after at least 1 star coach to replace Fat Charlie?
