According to 247Sports, North Carolina secondary coach Terry Joseph is on his way to South Bend. The New Orleans native is reportedly the new Notre Dame safeties coach, replacing the not-so-dearly-departed Mike Elko's responsibility. Joseph boasts a track record as both a great coach and an elite recruiter. 247 ND beat guy Tom Loy and [...]
Goodbye, Mr. Chips Harry Hiestand's move back to the NFL is more understandable than Mike Elko's move to Texas A&M. It's no less of a gut punch to the fans, though, who will watch the replacement process with great interest. We'll take a look here at possible Notre Dame offensive line candidates in a moment; [...]
If your coaching carousel pool had a box for Clark Lea Defensive Coordinator Notre Dame, and you had that box, congrats - you won! Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports reports that Brian Kelly will soon end an intense few days of fan base speculation when he promotes Lea to replace the departed Mike Elko. SOURCES: [...]
Seems like it wasn't that long ago that we were writing about Notre Dame DC candidates. Oh, that's right, it wasn't. Sigh. Well, once more unto the breach, dear friends... With the somewhat unexpected departure of Mike Elko, Notre Dame finds itself back in the market for a defensive coordinator. We'll take a look at some [...]
Luke Jones became the third lineman in Notre Dame's 2018 recruiting class when he committed today. The 6'5", 292-pound Jones was on his official visit for the football banquet, following up his unofficial visit for the USC game. Jones committed to Arkansas back in July, but the rough season and the unceremonious exit of Bret [...]
After a resoundingly successful early signing period, the big question is how will Notre Dame finish 2018 recruiting with just a handful of key prospects still on the board? The first-ever early signing period has been a big topic of discussion for the 18 Stripes staff. We're confident it will have some kind of impact [...]
Braden Lenzy returned to the fold when he signed with Notre Dame today, during the first-ever early signing window for football. Lenzy first committed to the Irish almost ten months ago, shortly after visiting for the first junior day of the 2018 cycle. He flipped to Oregon in June, reportedly due to confusion about how [...]
For the first time ever, we have an early signing day for college football recruiting. It's a huge day across the country, as coaches and players alike show how committed they really are to each other. There are pros and cons to the phenomenon, of course, but that's not the point of this post. No, [...]
Tommy Tremble became the 20th commit in the 2018 Notre Dame recruiting class when he announced for the Irish at his school today. The 6'4", 225-pound Georgian with the name of a Stan Lee character has had a bit of an up and down recruitment, seemingly trending to and away from various suitors along the [...]
Elite defensive back Houston Griffith became the newest Notre Dame commit of the 2018 cycle when he announced for the Irish today. The 6'1", 192-pound IMG prospect recently hosted Todd Lyght, decommitted from Florida State, hosted Brian Kelly and Mike Elko last week, and hosted Lyght again the other day. While Griffith hasn't trekked to [...]
Tariq Bracy joined the 2018 Notre Dame bandwagon when he announced for the Irish today. The 6'0", 170-pound Californian took an official visit for the USC game, and Notre Dame made a huge move for him on that trip. Area recruiter Brian Polian and position coach Todd Lyght were key in landing the raw but [...]
With 18 commitments already in the 2018 class, the list of football banquet recruiting visitors this year is centered more on camaraderie than progress. Even so, there are of course some uncommitted visitors in town who are key targets; unsurprisingly, they're all at positions of need in this class. The Irish staff will attempt to [...]
Well, this lessons learned session is going to be a little less fun than it seemed at the halfway point, but as promised, here we are to review our preseason predictions now that the regular season has wrapped up. The bowl game could change things slightly, but I don't think it would make a big [...]
We all know enough to pull for Notre Dame each week. Right? There are those in the fan base who don't, but hey, if that's your jam, man, have at it, and just don't read the rest of this. What about all the other stuff that could go down that would help Notre Dame's playoff [...]
Floridian Joe Wilkins became the 19th Notre Dame commit of the 2018 cycle when he announced for the Irish today. The 6'2", 180-pounder just took an official visit for the Wake Forest game with his mother; they had planned on visiting a few more schools, but apparently they saw all they needed in South Bend.
