Notre Dame worked its second flip of the week on the recruiting trail when former Colorado pledge Josh Bryan announced his commitment to the Irish. Rumors have been floating for a while that the Notre Dame staff had some interest in the 6'0", 190-pound Californian, but in what was originally expected to be a tight [...]
Notre Dame caught a rather important boomerang in its 2021 class when blue-chip cornerback Philip Riley announced his re-commitment on Tuesday. His recruitment was a bit of a roller coaster that might normally raise some red flags, but when you add context to it it's much less worrisome. A brief timeline: Riley, a Florida resident [...]
Notre Dame is just like every other program in America in that they have a lot of work to do in order to sort through all of the roster upheaval that's coming after the NCAA made historic changes to the scholarship situation in 2020 and beyond. It seems actually absurd that the Early Signing Period [...]
Notre Dame's 2021 recruiting class added its third four-star receiver today when Jayden Thomas announced his commitment to the Irish. The 6'1", 205-pound Georgian has long been rumored to be a Notre Dame lean, with several ties to the program. He trains with fellow 2021 Irish commits Deion Colzie and Cane Berrong and attends the [...]
In a very welcome development, blue-chip WR Deion Colzie recommitted to Notre Dame today. He committed almost a year ago (which made us very happy) and decommitted about six months ago (which made us sad, no link but trust me), throwing his recruitment completely back open when he did. After his decommitment he picked up [...]
The Notre Dame football staff continued its strong start to the 2022 recruiting class today when rover prospect Nolan Ziegler decided to verbally commit to the Fighting Irish. The 6'4"/205-pounder of of Grand Rapids Catholic Central High School in Michigan is the 3rd verbal commitment for Notre Dame in the class of 2022. I have [...]
2021 Thoughts Notre Dame is currently sitting at 17 solid commits (not counting David Abiara) and there are probably only three spots left. The Fighting Irish staff is undoubtedly looking to close out the class strong. An ideal yet still realistic situation would probably look something like this: Dont'e Thornton -- WR -- 6'4"/185 -- [...]
The NBA is set to have a historic draft in a couple years. In the modern era, following a legal challenge by Spencer Haywood in 1971 that made its way to the Supreme Court, basketball players were allowed to jump directly to the NBA from high school although it was exceedingly rare. That changed in [...]
It's mid-August now and the Notre Dame football recruiting class of 2021 is getting closer and closer to filling up already. Sunday night, the Irish received more welcome recruiting news in a commitment from defensive end Will Schweitzer. The 6'4"/220-pounder out of Los Gatos, California is the 18th commitment in the class for the Fighting [...]
Notre Dame added some weight, literally and figuratively, to the top of its 2021 class today when top 50 offensive lineman Rocco Spindler announced for the Irish at his high school. The 6'5", 315-pound Michigander became the third top 50 member of Notre Dame's class today, joining #41 Tyler Buchner and #50 Blake Fisher. Spindler [...]
Up until today, linebacker was the position with the longest running recruiting drought for Notre Dame football. It had been 628 days since the Fighting Irish last received a verbal commitment (JD Bertand -- November 19, 2018 if you were wondering). That long drought finally ended today when Prince Kollie decided to verbally commit to [...]
Notre Dame’s recruiting roll continued today when 2021 TE Mitch Evans announced for the Irish. There was some recent buzz that the 6’6”, 240-pound Ohioan might stretch his recruitment out, but that buzz was apparently off base. As did a few other recent commits, Evans took a quasi-independent visit to campus recently; he came on [...]
Tyler Buchner finally has a backfield mate! Notre Dame added a long-desired running back to its 2021 class today when Logan Diggs announced his commitment for the Irish. Notre Dame made a big move for the 6'0", 195-pound Louisianan when they offered and he reportedly considered committing, but he wanted to take visits anyway when [...]
Notre Dame added its second 2022 commitment today when TE Jack Nickel announced for the Irish. The 6'4", 230-pound Georgian recently made an independent visit to campus, like recent 2021 commit Chance Tucker, which no doubt was a key factor in his decision. Prospects can't interact with anyone acting in an official capacity for the [...]
It's taken longer than usual, but Notre Dame football finally received its first commitment of the 2022 class Saturday when offensive lineman Joey Tanona verbally committed to the Fighting Irish. 100% Committed. I’m staying home!☘️ #GoIrish @NDFootball @CoachBrianKelly @CoachJeffQuinn @T_Rees11 pic.twitter.com/P8w9K97Ioy — Joey Tanona (@JoeyTanona) July 25, 2020 The 6'5"/280-pounder out of Zionsville, Indiana received [...]
