Notre Dame's 2020 class got a big boost today, literally and figuratively, when elite offensive tackle Tosh Baker pledged to the Irish. The 6'8", 275-pound Arizonan made his second trek to campus for the March junior day; reading the tea leaves, it seems that OL coach Jeff Quinn more or less sealed the deal on [...]
Notre Dame continued its recent run of defensive line success when blue-chip prospect Rylie Mills committed to the Irish. The 6'5", 275-pound Illinoisan conducted a round of official visits to his finalists in April and didn't wait too long to make his decision. Mills is ranked as a strong-side defensive end, but in all likelihood [...]
After a looooooooooooo... [inhale] oooooooong hiatus, we're pleased to bring back the football recruiting Big Board! We knew it had been a while, but we looked at our archives and dayyyyuuummm. We typically wait for a little while after signing day, as we did this year, to launch the Big Board posts; that keeps them [...]
The Islands gave another gift to Notre Dame today when blue-chip WDE Jordan Botelho announced his commitment to the Irish. The 6-3, 230-pound Hawaiian profiles perfectly to the drop end position that Julian Okwara rather magnificently occupies today; we'll get into this more below, but position isn't close to the only thing Okwara and Botelho [...]
Notre Dame's 2021 recruiting class started off with a bang today when elite quarterback Tyler Buchner pledged to the Irish. The 6'2", 200-pound Californian was reportedly one of the staff's top targets regardless of position in this class, which makes this an especially excellent way to kick it off. He didn't playt much in his [...]
On National Signing Day, we posted an overview of the 2019 Notre Dame recruiting class with recruit grades and some thoughts on the class. Then we went into more detail on the offensive skill position guys, because you know they'd be primadonnas if we didn't do them first, then the guys who clear the road for [...]

On National Signing Day, we posted an overview of the 2019 Notre Dame recruiting class with recruit grades and some thoughts on the class. This is the first post of a four-part series that will dive into a little more detail on the class, giving each of Eric, Jaden, Tyler's, and my grades and comments [...]
An Irish Zen Koan With tight numbers and the same staff aggressiveness with the early signing period as last year, the final stretch for the Notre Dame 2019 recruiting class almost completely lacked drama. On the upside, the staff closed early on a bunch of guys they really liked. On the downside, there was no [...]
The final piece of Notre Dame's 2019 recruiting class fell into place today when blue-chip defensive end prospect Isaiah Foskey announced his signing. The 6'4", 233-pound Cal legacy participated in a signing ceremony at his high school, De La Salle, which is one the of the country's foremost prep programs. The more attentive (and, ahem, [...]
Lance Taylor will replace outgoing Irish legend Autry Denson as the new Notre Dame running backs coach, per multiple news reports. There's no official confirmation from the university yet (thanks O'Leary!), but if Taylor's Twitter header photo is any indication there's nothing to worry about on that front. No doubt one of the major attractions [...]
Autry Denson will make one last run in South Bend - not on the hallowed grounds of Notre Dame Stadium this time, but down Angela Boulevard on his way to the airport. Notre Dame's all-time leading rusher and erstwhile running backs coach has accepted an offer to be the head coach of FCS Charleston-Southern, according [...]
The Notre Dame 2019 football schedule looks more formidable than 2018's ended up being. Even so, and even acknowledging that spring ball and fall camp can change the picture substantially for everyone, it also looks manageable. Road dates at Georgia, Michigan, and Stanford loom large now. Virginia Tech could be in for a big rebound. [...]
