Jimmy Clausen wasn't the only big name to announce he won't be returning to South Bend next year as Golden Tate made it known that he will also enter his name into the 2010 NFL Draft.Tate, a 5'11" junior out of Hendersonville, Tennessee, leaves Notre Dame as one of the most prolific receivers in the program's long history.Catching 93 balls for almost 1,500 yards through the air (both single-season school records), Tate hauled in 15 touchdowns from Clausen.Serving as a threat out of the backfield in the wildcat formation, he also rushed 25 times for 184 yards along with a touchdown. Tate's versatility may serve him well in the upcoming draft as he has the mind and skill-set of both a receiver and a halfback.In addition to his offensive talent, Tate is an exceptional return specialist when giving opportunities as he displayed in his punt return for a touchdown vs. The only question mark for teams will be Tate's undersized frame."With the year I had this year, it was kind of hard to stay," Tate said at a press conference today. "To be honest, I don't think I can do much better next year or any year in college. The time was right."The next head coach at Notre Dame will now be left with some major question marks with theabsence of two of most important pieces to the 2009 team leaving South Bend.

Dayne Crist, thesuccessor to Clausen, went down with an ACL injury and will most likely not be fully healthy for spring practice, a critical time period for a to-be new starter.Although the Irish will still have sophomore-sensation Michael Floyd next season, their wide receiver depth chart consists of elite, yet youthful and unexperienced, talent. InterviewsAccording to ESPN, Brian Kelly will be interviewed by Notre Dame on Tuesday in New York City. Expect the Irish to make a full push to get Kelly if Bob Stoops and others have already turned in their responses with solid "no's".Jim Harbaugh will also meet with or already has met with Jack Swarbrick.Kelly's latest tweet from 4:00 PM ET reads: "Just informed our team that Notre Dame has contacted me and I will listen to what they have to say."Many Irish fans are already speculating why the current Cincinnati coach would even leak such information while rumors are already circulating that an agreement has been made between Kelly and the University.. While Glen Davis probably has to get some thought, the big man, Jeff Bagwell, is hands down the greatest Astro 1B of all time.With crushing power, a sweet swing, and a soft glove, he is also a sure-fire Hall of Famer.. Craig Biggio and his counterpart at First Base (Jeff Bagwell) are safe bets to one day get the call to the Hall.

Most of Biggio's Hall of Fame résumé came as a 2B for the Houston Astros.What amazes me most is Biggio's obvious athletic prowess. He was an above average defender at catcher, 2B, and in the outfield, and there are not many players in baseball history that can say that.His defense was plus-plus at 2B, but his offense was pretty great too. Biggio was a six-time All-Star, and five of those appearances came as a second baseman.I should mention that Joe Morgan was an All-Star for the Astros at 2B twice...and may have nabbed this spot if he had hung around with the Astros.. In fact, Miguel Tejada probably comes closest to meeting that standardbut by his time with the Astros he was past his prime and a one-dimensional player.Dickie Thon had the most raw talent but was stoppedafter only one superb yearby a Mike Torrez fastball to the head.So I went with Craig Reynolds, who took over for Thon and became the Astros' everyday SS in the mid-'80s. Renolds was above average defensively and about average offensively But for the Astros, he was as good as it gets!. For baseball fans this might seem like an easy choice, as Ken Caminiti was a mainstay for the Astros for most of his career, but it might surprise you to know that Caminiti's four best offensive seasons all came in his four seasons with the San Diego Padres.For this reason I chose Doug Rader as my all-time great Astro 3B. Rader's offense with the Astros is superior, and a cursory reading of contemporaries tells the story of a very good, hard-nosed defensive third baseman..

A four-time All-Star with 20-plus HR power and 50-plus SB speed, Cedeno was tremendous player for a period of about five to six years in the early '70s.He had a good career, with a career batting average of .285, averaging 16 HR and 44 SB per 162 games. A star talent offensively who was plus-plus on defense in the OF.. Wynn only had one All-Star appearance, but in a different era he may have been regarded as a superstar. I was struggling with this as I tried to figure out who should be my third OF, and then I decided to fudge things a little bit...I chose Lance Berkman.Though Berkman has played mostly at first base since 2005, his pre-2005 offensive numbers are easily good enough to make him the best offensive OF in Astros history. Berkman is consistently a .300 hitter with the power to go deep at least 35 times a year.His career stat line: .299BA/34HR/112RBI/.412OBP.
