Her Loyal Sons has more mistakes, but really, this is the worst thing you could possibly write in a Notre Dame preview:
New recuit Matt James might not be an elite prospect, but he was on everyone’s list of the best tackles of this year’s recruiting class with the size and frame to sit at one tackle spot for 4 years. At 6-7 and 291 pounds, the Cincinnati native followed Brian Kelly to South Bend and will get a long look at playing time right away on the outside. Even though he’s tall, he’s physical for the ground game and does a good job of shoving people around.
Matt James tragically died in March while on spring break. That was a national story featured on Good Morning, America, ESPN and many other mainstream outlets. It's now July. By any journalistic standard, this is absolutely inexcusable.

Bad Journalism
That’s the third time I’ve seen this. Two times on Bleacher Report I saw this – one of the stories even featured a picture of him. People aren’t doing any research anymore before throwing garbage out. They rely on the internet to finish things quickly and get work out.
Reminds of me people talking about how Armando Allen would immediately start – a couple of months after he broke his leg. Good idea to call them out.
Not gonna like...
I kinda forgot about this… I was reading that and going… HELL YEAH!!! A rookie starting tackle, 4 years of awesomeness… Then you reminded me that he had passed… But of course Im not a journalist and am allowed to make these kind of oversights.
