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 [...]
As soon as the NFL Draft is complete it's common to look forward and think about who could be selected the following year and in which round. Instead of an article looking at only the handful of Fighting Irish hoping to be picked in 2023 I thought why not create an annual that we'll update [...]
Notre Dame added another big fella to the 2023 class today when four-star offensive lineman Sullivan Absher announced his commitment to the Irish. The 6'7", 290 pound (we weren't kidding!) North Carolinian had been mostly focused on schools close to home, most notably Clemson and NC State, with Harry Hiestand's reputation one of the main [...]
It's Halloween 2015 and Notre Dame is in the 2nd half of a tough matchup against a plucky Temple team coached by future Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule. The Irish are 6-1 with only a close loss to Clemson so tensions are high to keep the program in the playoff hunt. With just over [...]
Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick isn't one to hold back when it comes to issues surrounding the Fighting Irish or topics of national interest. In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated's Pat Forde on the topic of the future of Division I athletics the gloves came off, so to speak, for Swarbrick. Are we [...]
The 2022 NFL Draft finished up on Saturday afternoon in Las Vegas with the National Champion Georgia Bulldogs breaking the modern record for selections in a year with 15, besting the previous record of 14 set by Ohio State in 2003 and LSU in 2020. Notre Dame wasn't quite as lucky in Sin City with [...]
The 2022 NFL Draft is set to begin this Thursday as the Shield's player selection process makes its long-awaited debut in Sin City. Remember, this was supposed to be the location of the 2020 Draft but the pandemic switched things to an all-remote broadcast. Two years later and things are ready for Las Vegas to [...]
On a beautiful sunny afternoon on campus the Blue-Gold Game was won by an early enrolled freshman quarterback on the last play of a running clock. Thanks to a diving effort on a run toward the end zone pylon, Steve Angeli sealed a 13-10 victory for the Gold squad on a day where the Irish [...]
This Saturday welcomes another edition of the Blue-Gold game as Notre Dame kicks off their annual spring game in front of an assembled crowd inside Notre Dame Stadium. The latest weather report expects a warm 80 degrees and partly cloudy skies so hopefully a lovely day for everyone coming to campus. It's been a quiet [...]
