SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- In the minutes after a 38-35 home loss Saturday to Duke, Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said that all 22 starting jobs on the Fighting Irish are up for grabs, sending a stern message to his 1-3 team.Every position, all 22 of them, will be evaluated, Kelly said at his postgame news conference. Each and every position. There is no position that is untouchable on this football team. And thats the quarterback, all the way down to -- maybe the long snappers OK. Were not going to touch him. But everybody else is vulnerable.Kelly described quarterback?DeShone Kizers play as below standard and not acceptable after the redshirt sophomore threw for 381 yards and rushed for 60 but turned over the ball twice. The Irish, for the first time, featured backup quarterback Malik Zaire as a receiver on two plays, but Kelly said those packages will be scrapped after the plays netted minus-8 yards.Asked if its a possibility that sophomore quarterback Brandon Wimbush -- who had been expected to redshirt -- will play this season, Kelly said: Thats a possibility. Thats a definite possibility.Asked later about who has to be on the field for the Fighting Irish, Kelly said, Guys that have fire and grit and -- we had one guy in the entire football team that had emotion and fire. That is (running back)?Dexter Williams. Hes the only one. Hes the only one that I saw. One guy.So, if you want to play for me moving forward, you better -- I dont care what your résumé says, I dont care if you were a five-star [recruit], if you had 100 tackles or 80 receptions or 30 touchdown passes -- you better have some damn fire and energy in you. We lack it. We lack it. Severely.Those personnel changes, however, will leave the coaching staff unaffected. Third-year coordinator Brian VanGorder has faced plenty of heat from the fan base, with the segments of Saturdays Notre Dame Stadium crowd chanting to fire him after the Irish gave up 35-plus points for the fifth time in their past six games dating to last season.Actually, thats probably the one area that I feel better about today, Kelly said. We did what I wanted today in terms of coaching. And coaching had nothing to do with the outcome today. I was pleased from that perspective.Kizer said Duke wanted the game more than Notre Dame did, and that he has to execute the offense better.Were always held to a higher standard, Kizer said. ... we understand that in order for to us win football games, were going to have to come out with a fire and a sense of urgency, the thing that [Kelly has] been preaching all week.

Treveon Graham Jersey .Y. - New Orleans forward Anthony Davis was chosen Friday to replace the injured Kobe Bryant in the NBA All-Star game that will be played in his home city. EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Until a couple of months ago, Brandon Ingrams new locker at the Los Angeles Lakers training complex was occupied by Kobe Bryant.The 18-year-old rookie sees the daunting symbolism in literally taking the place of the most prolific scorer in franchise history, and he greets it with a smile.I did see where my locker was, and I definitely knew it was Kobes locker, Ingram said. (General manager) Mitch (Kupchak) told me I had some big shoes to fill when I came in here, but I liked it. I like the pressure thats on me right now. Of course its going to motivate me to do good things on the court. Its all good pressure for me.Ingram put on those shoes for the first time Tuesday at a practice for the Lakers Las Vegas summer league team. The No. 2 overall pick in last months draft then joined fellow Lakers selection Ivica Zubac in a tour of the complex, posing in front of owner Jeanie Buss collection of championship trophies before receiving their new gold jerseys -- No. 14 for Ingram, No. 40 for Zubac.The Lakers believe Ingram is a centerpiece of their next great roster. Theyre starting nearly from the bottom after the worst season in team history and the retirement of Bryant, who won five titles and became the NBAs third-leading scorer during his 20-year career.Ingram could be two decades away from approaching those achievements, but the smooth-shooting forward hasnt flinched under the weight of comparisons to Bryant -- or to Kevin Durant, another lanky shooter who transformed a struggling team. Just over a year after graduating from high school in tiny Kinston, North Carolina, Ingram is shouldering those burdens with apparent ease.He never talked about (being compared to Durant), said Ingrams father, Donald. He definitely has similar tools on the court, but hes never showed that he feels the pressure. Even here, with people talking about filling Kobes shoes, hes just going to pave his own way. Hes going to be Brandon.Ingram is already determined to build chemistry with Julius Randle, Jordan Clarkson and fellow No. 2 pick DAngelo Russell, the Lakers point guard. His primary goal is to become a more vocal player after Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski impressed the impoortance of communication on him last season.ddddddddddddI was ready for this first practice, Ingram said. Just getting on the floor with those guys, and just seeing how he (Russell) wants to play, and of course how the coach wants to play. Connecting with those guys is really important to see what they want to do to be a contender in this league.Ingrams cool is even impressing Zubac, the 7-foot Bosnian teenager chosen with the 32nd overall pick. Zubac grew up an enormous Lakers fan, but he wouldnt want Bryants locker.He can have that pressure, Zubac said, drawing a laugh from his new teammate.Ingram will have plenty of support in his rookie season, starting with Luke Walton and the Lakers new coaching staff. Los Angeles also signed fellow Duke product Luol Deng as a free agent, and Ingram intends to stick close to his fellow 6-foot-9 Blue Devil.Hell also have support from family and friends, including Jerry Stackhouse, his longtime mentor and fellow Kinston native.Donald Ingram is a veteran basketball referee who has also run a recreation center back home in Kinston. He raised his sons with a healthy respect for the games rules and fundamentals, putting Brandon into ball-handling drills as a child. Donald was determined to prevent his sons from falling into what he calls the AND1 mentality of flashy, highlight-driven play.Hes always been a player that listened, even when the adults were playing, Donald Ingram said. Thats part of being coachable, his ability to listen. Hes a kid thats willing to learn.Ingrams 25-year-old brother, Bo, played at the University of Texas before getting drafted by the D-League and playing professionally in Mexico. Bo will be out on the West Coast with Brandon after summer league, looking for a place to live before getting to work in September.Were from the East Coast, and hell be 19 years old, Donald Ingram said. We want to make sure he has somebody with him, and hes living as close to the facility as possible. Its a big concern, and that, to me, is more of a concern than his ability to make an impact with the Lakers. ' ' '
