Notre Dame was reminded today that "aloha" indeed means goodbye and hello.
Of the two Hawaii prospects targeted by the Irish -- and who made official visits just last weekend -- safety Jeremy Ioane reportedly signed with Boise State while defensive lineman Kona Schwenke inked with the Irish.
Ioane, a three-star safety prospect opted to join the Broncos, according to a report in the Honolulu Advertiser. The 5-foot-11, 195-pound safety attended the same high school as Te'o but was not viewed necessarily as an immediate impact performer. Still, he was a hard-hitter that the Irish clearly coveted enough to make that 11th-hour effort.
Schwenke, meanwhile, officially signed with Notre Dame as of 11:37 a.m. CT, according to the school. The 6-foot-4, 227-pounder is a three-star prospect, according to Rivals.com, but may require some time in the weight room before he's a contributor along the Irish line.
