Notre Dame's 2019 recruiting class picked up a talented defensive back when provisional All-Time All-Name Team member Litchfield Ajavon announced for the Irish today. The 6'0", 185-pound Virginian pushed the lever for the Irish after making his third visit to campus earlier this month; he attended Irish Invasion last June and also visited for the [...]

Notre Dame's 2019 recruiting class picked up its fourth commit (again) when New Jersey lineman John Olmstead announced for the Irish at his school today. The 6'6", 290-pound behemoth was in the "ND lean" bucket for quite some time; his affinity was solidified on an early April visit, after which he scheduled his announcement. Olmstead [...]

Notre Dame's 2020 recruiting class started with a resounding bang when elite signal caller Drew Pyne pledged to the Irish today. Many probably missed this at the time, but Drew's tweet when Notre Dame offered last June left little doubt: Extremely happy and very excited to receive an offer from Notre Dame‼☘🇮🇪 pic.twitter.com/VL0vf9dq4u — Drew [...]

Notre Dame's 2019 recruiting class picked up its fourth commit and second blue-chip defensive lineman yesterday when Hunter Spears announced for the Irish. The 6'4", 280-pound Texas monster visited for the USC game last season and again for the cycle's first junior day a few weeks ago. Notably, he's the fourth commit from that USC [...]

The 2017 Close, If It Was On Steroids The Irish staff closed the previous recruiting cycle with a flurry of activity; they busted their tails to snag a few key guys late and avert disaster. That close was impressive, but the way the staff closed elite prospects early and then snagged some potential contributors on [...]

Noah Boykin joined the 2018 Notre Dame bandwagon when he signed with the Irish today. The 6'2", 170-pound prospect out of our nation's capitol committed to Maryland back in July, but given his actions Maryland was probably a safety net - after that commitment, he visited Notre Dame, Virginia, USC, and Florida. He finally decommitted [...]

The 2018 Notre Dame class added one last receiver today when Lawrence Keys sent his letter of intent to South Bend. The 5'11", 160-pound Louisiana speedster took an official visit in January that made a big impression on him and his mother. He had interest for a long time but couldn't work out a visit; [...]

The 2018 Notre Dame class topped off its offensive line haul today when Jarrett Patterson signed his letter of intent. The 6'5", 285-pound Californian chose the Irish over a late push from local favorite UCLA; Jeff Quinn deserves substantial credit here, as former OL coach Harry Hiestand had no contact with Patterson and Quinn had [...]

Well folks, it's that time of year again... Even better than Festivus, National Signing Day is finally upon us. Tomorrow morning faxes will start rolling in, and by the afternoon the class of 2018 will be set and we'll all rejoice! No, I'm just kidding, we'll be moderately pleased for about ten seconds and then [...]

Notre Dame will open the next recruiting cycle in earnest with a 2019 junior day this Saturday. This is Notre Dame's first junior day to fall before signing day for the previous cycle; the early signing period probably helped, but this is also a way of keeping up with the Joneses. Junior days have been [...]
