This past Thursday news of USC and UCLA suddenly leaving the Pac-12--after nearly 100 years together going back to the old Pacific Coast Conference--to join the Big Ten left the college sports world shooketh, as the kids say. For a bunch of fans who have grown almost numb to conference realignment, or NIL deals, or [...]
Notre Dame’s recent hot streak continued today when four star corner Micah Bell pledged to the Irish. The 5’11”, 170 pound Texan boasts elite speed, posting wind-legal personal bests of 10.41 in the 100 meter and 20.89 in the 200 meter this past spring. And oh by the way he also put up a 24’5-1/4” [...]
Early Independence Day fireworks continued for Notre Dame today when top 100 OT Charles Jagusah announced his commitment to the Irish. The 6’6”, 300 pound Illini had reportedly been down to Notre Dame and Michigan for some time and, well, you know how that goes. recruiting at michigan & notre dame, summer 2022, in two [...]
It's September 27, 2014 and Syracuse has decided to play a home game inside MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey for the pleasure of watching a near capacity crowd of 76,802 cheer on 3-0 Notre Dame. It's an odd time for the Orange as they're in the midst of a basketball-fueled attempt to become [...]
Notre Dame football added another piece to its 2024 recruiting class Friday afternoon when 4-star tight end Jack Larsen verbally committed to the Fighting Irish. The 6'3"/220-pounder out of Charlotte, North Carolina is the 4th player to join Notre Dame's group of 2024 commits, a group which has now passed Florida State for the #1 [...]
The proximity of another NCAA dead period - from June 26th to August 28th, prospects can't meet staff on or off campus - feels like a natural time for us to review the Big Board again. When we last got together we touted the possibility of 2023 being arguably the best class of the internet [...]
Shockwaves shot through the college football recruiting world today when five-star quarterback CJ Carr announced for the Irish. The 6'3", 190 pound Michigander is a huge win for Tommy Rees and Notre Dame not just because of his talent - at #20 overall in the 2024 247 Composite, he's the highest ranked QB to pledge [...]
Notre Dame added another piece to its offensive line haul Tuesday afternoon when interior prospect Joe Otting verbally committed to the Fighting Irish. The 6'4"/275-pounder out of Topeka, Kansas is the 14th commit for Notre Dame's class of 2023 and third along the offensive line. pic.twitter.com/zwdSdrbDkz — Joe Otting (@JoeOtting) June 7, 2022 Joe is [...]
Let's remember some of the good times. Around half of a year has passed since Brian Kelly left a recruiting visit on the west coast and was soon hired by Louisiana State University. He leaves behind a legacy in South Bend that is complicated, let's agree on that. However, in the grand scheme there were [...]
I'm a big believer in athletes not being subjected to too much criticism over hype because most of the time that hype is generated by others who have different skin in the game and are mostly looking for a buck at some point along the way. However, sometimes things get so ridiculous that we have [...]
Notre Dame is back up to one running back in the 2023 class thanks to the addition of four-star prospect Jayden Limar today. The 5'11", 190-pound Washingtonian joined the class less than a week after Sedrick Irvin Jr. backed off his September pledge to the Irish, presumably as the new staff made it clear they [...]
We are debuting a scouting report for Notre Dame's NFL prospects with a few twists. In case you missed it, the annual for the offense was published recently and you can read it HERE. We'll keep the notes that explain our process for this defensive report: *Some players, especially upperclassmen, won't be featured in the [...]
So, I don't know if you folks have heard, but 2023 recruiting is going really well. Like, really well. In his first cycle as the head man, Marcus Freeman has Notre Dame ranked #1 nationally in the 247 Composite; it's very unlikely (but not impossible!) that they'll finish there, but our recruitnik opinion is that the [...]
This offseason, we’ll be breaking down the performance of each unit – passing and rushing offense and defense – with a look ahead to 2022 and what this means for the Irish. Next is the Notre Dame passing game, which was a wild ride in 2022 with Jack Coan taking time to find his footing [...]
Notre Dame picked up its second commit in the 2024 class - and second defensive lineman - when four-star prospect Owen Wafle announced for the Irish on CBS Sports. The 6'3", 270-pound (what are they feeding these kids?!?) New Jerseyan visited Notre Dame in March, at which point buzz began to grow that the Irish [...]
