Kendall Abdur-Rahman boosted Notre Dame's 2019 offensive skill position group when he announced for the Irish today. The tea leaves suggested Notre Dame made a big move for the 6'1", 180-pound Illinois product on his official visit for the Michigan game; today, it seems like those suggestions were dead on. Abdur-Rahman keeps things extremely close [...]
The second annual 18S preseason prediction poll is here. Whee! You may remember our somewhat crestfallen end-of-season review of last year's results; undeterred by experience, we enter once more unto the breach, dear friends. As much of a downer as the final three games were, last season actually exceeded many of our preseason expectations. Our [...]
Eight scant days until the season starts! We'll keep this short and simple - like last year, we're doing a staff preseason prediction poll, and like last year, we want your opinions too. Those of you with better memories than us will recognize a lot of the same questions, with several tweaks and additions. Please [...]
Notre Dame entered the offseason with yet another quarterback quandary, filled with a metric tonne (hey Larz!) of questions. Will Brandon Wimbush get over his yips in 2018? How long will his leash be? What would the offense look like with Ian Book as the full-time starter? What locker room repercussions would there be for [...]
Notre Dame's 2019 class added another key piece on offense today when QB Brendon Clark pledged to the Irish. The 6'2", 217-pound Virginian committed to Wake Forest almost a year ago, but backed away from that commitment after his recruitment picked up steam. He picked up a Notre Dame offer in early June and visited [...]
Notre Dame's 2019 class picked up its first wideout today when Cam Hart announced for the Irish. The 6'3", 190-pound Good Counsel (MD) prospect took an unofficial visit to South Bend in early June. The Irish reportedly grabbed a big lead at that point and never looked back. Recruiting Service Rankings 247 Composite -- 3 [...]
The Irish finally landed an offensive skill player in the 2019 class when jitterbug back Kyren Williams committed to Notre Dame at his high school today. Michigan hard over the last couple of months; but the 5'10", 200-pound Missourian has had the Irish in front ever since he was offered and didn't waver. In fact [...]
Notre Dame continued its run of outstanding line recruiting with a commitment from blue-chip prospect Zeke Correll. Fresh off an official visit to South Bend, Correll cancelled his final official to Ohio State before announcing for the Irish. Correll joins Quinn Carroll, John Olmstead, and Andrew Kristofic in an offensive line class for the ages. [...]
Notre Dame landed the lucky 13th commitment in its 2019 class today when linebacker Osita Ekwonu announced for the Irish. Rumor has long held that the 6'2", 220-pound North Carolinian was a heavy Irish lean, and he finally made it official today. Ekwonu was one of Clark Lea's top targets in the class, and Lea [...]
Notre Dame landed its second 2020 commitment yesterday when blue-chip tight end Kevin Bauman announced for the Irish. The 6'5", 230-pound New Jerseyan made his first visit to campus just 10 days ago; that first visit made such a big impression that he committed 20 months before his signing day. He has been very familiar [...]
Notre Dame added a critical piece to the 2019 class today when punter Jay Bramblett committed to the Irish. Rigneys, rejoice! I know, nobody (besides the Rigneys) cares about specialists, but hear me out on this one... With punting stalwart Tyler Newsome in his final year of eligibility, it was absolutely critical that Notre Dame [...]
Notre Dame landed one of the most significant recruits of the Brian Kelly era today when blue-chip WDE NaNa Osafo-Mensah announced his commitment to the Irish. Is it really that big a deal, you ask? NaNa is a top-ten player at a position Notre Dame historically struggles to recruit, and he will enroll early in [...]
Notre Dame took another step to a fantastic offensive line class today when elite prospect Quinn Carroll pledged to the Irish. Offensive line coaches all across the country highly coveted Carroll, but it was Jeff Quinn who played name dominoes and got the job done. The 6'6", 295-pound Minnesota mauler made the call after numerous visits, [...]
Notre Dame continued the infusion of talent into the defensive backfield when safety Kyle Hamilton announced his commitment today. Scroll right past the rankings for this kid and watch his film, which is against serious competition in the Atlanta area. He can flat-out play, and coaching staffs around the country chased him accordingly. Hamilton is [...]
You know how I know Jeff Quinn is butter? Because he's on a roll. Andrew Kristofic became the second lineman to join the Irish fold this month when he announced for Notre Dame today, fresh off an unofficial visit. With Kristofic and John Olmstead on board, and Quinn Carroll likely to join them within the [...]
