"...it always worries me when a Cincy kid from a Catholic school (I forget LaSalles exact affiliation...not sure it lines up with ND. Both Brothers of the something or other). Not sure if he is Catholic, but I know many of the people in those schools really push kids to Catholic Universities, especially ones that have the same affiliation. May not matter in this case. Just always worries me."

Cincinnati La Salle, like 44 other Catholic schools across the country called "La Salle", "De La Salle," or "Christian Brothers," is a high school founded by and/or associated with the De La Salle Christian Brothers. Notre Dame was founded by and is run by Holy Cross priests. Other than being Catholic religious orders, there is no connection between the two groups.

A few D1 La Salle guys I know played at Notre Dame (Jim Hauptman, Chris Smith, Jerry Weinle, Bob Burger), but the majority of D1 guys played for MAC schools, UK, UC, or Purdue. Don Hasselbeck, father of all the Hasselbeck quarterbacks, is a La Salle grad who played tight end at Colorado before his pro career. La Salle's All-American fullback in the mid-70s, Mike Schneider, played one season for the Bucks....but quickly ended up in Woody's doghouse.
