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 [...]
Grab your smelling salts: Notre Dame's 2021 class added its third cornerback today when Chance Tucker announced his pledge to the Irish. The 6'1", 170-pound Californian's recruitment reportedly was jolted, in a good way, by a stealth July 4th weekend visit with his father. Tucker is at least the third - what should we call [...]
After a nearly 3-month-long commitment drought on the offensive side of the ball, Notre Dame received some very welcome news today when offensive tackle Joe Alt decided to verbally commit to the Fighting Irish. The 6'7"/260-pounder out of Minneapolis, MN is the 12th commit in the Irish Class of 2021 -- a class which currently [...]
It's coming up on three months since Notre Dame's last commitment on the offensive side of the ball -- the most recent one being 3-star OL Pat Coogan on April 15th. There's a lot of grumbling going on by ND fans insisting this is Tommy Rees' fault or Jeff Quinn's fault or (insert the name [...]
It's been a pretty slow summer for Notre Dame football on the recruiting trail. With the recruiting dead period extended through July due to the coronavirus pandemic and no visits allowed to occur, it's been difficult for the Irish staff to make moves with some of the targets that haven't been able to visit campus [...]
Despite missing out on Will Shipley to Clemson last week the good news for Notre Dame recruiting continued in the form of graduate transfer cornerback Nick McCloud from NC State. He will come to South Bend with one year of eligibility remaining. McCloud was a 2016 commit for the Wolfpack out of South Pointe High [...]
