There's no doubt that roster churn in college football is very real these days. I can remember back in the early Brian Kelly days with these scholarship articles discussing the difficult decisions of having 1 or 2 players not making their mark on the field having sit downs with the coaching staff to look elsewhere [...]
Wednesday morning December 21st opens up the first day of the early signing period for college football. If you're reading this and missed the ESD Primer, click HERE and get caught up on Notre Dame's 2023 recruiting class. This has never felt like the old first Wednesday of February National Signing Day bonanza that we [...]
The Notre Dame 2023 recruiting class officially got under way with its first commit on June 29, 2021. That was 157 days before Marcus Freeman was officially hired as the new head coach for the Fighting Irish. This Wednesday, the Early Signing period opens up for college football effectively ending the 2023 cycle for the [...]
A running back named Williams from Missouri, you say? On Friday evening, Notre Dame added its 7th member of the 2024 recruiting class as running back Aneyas Williams committed to Marcus Freeman and the Irish program following multiple visits to campus throughout 2022. Hailing from Hannibal High School in northeast Missouri just across the Mississippi [...]
On Wednesday, one week before the early signing period opens up, Notre Dame added its 27th--and possibly final--member of the 2023 recruiting class. Virginia athlete Brandyn Hillman committed to the Irish and adds a versatile playmaker with a very unique skill-set to the program. Why #NotreDame? Two-way athlete Brandyn Hillman (@dmv_b3) spoke with @SWiltfong247 about [...]
Notre Dame picked up its 26th commitment of the 2023 cycle on Thursday night as wide receiver Kaleb Smith gave his verbal to the Fighting Irish. Smith was offered a little over a year ago by Texas Tech and ended up committing to the Red Raiders on February 2nd of this year. He comes out [...]
You can never have too many offensive linemen? On Sunday following the conclusion of the regular season Notre Dame flipped Wisconsin offensive guard commit Christopher Terek to add the 25th player to the 2023 recruiting class. With the verbal just under a month until Early Signing Day, Terek becomes Notre Dame's 5th offensive linemen of [...]
Notre Dame added a critical piece to its 2023 class today when four-star quarterback Kenny Minchey flipped from Pitt to the Irish. The 6'2", 207-pound Tennessean was one of the first targets offensive coordinator Tommy Rees put on the radar when Notre Dame moved on from the talented but, uh, complicated Dante Moore in June. [...]
As the late great Yogi Berra said, it's getting late early out there. There are 164 prospects in the 2023 class with a known Notre Dame offer; 23 are committed to Notre Dame and a whopping 119 are committed to other schools, leaving just 22 uncommitted prospects still on the board in mid November. The [...]
It was a good time to visit Notre Dame if you're a cornerback. So it happened for Karson Hobbs who was in person to watch Benjamin Morrison put together one of the best games from an Irish corner in recent memory against Clemson. Hobbs, a commit to South Carolina since this summer, decommitted from the [...]
Notre Dame picked up yet another electric playmaker in its 2023 class when running back Jeremiyah Love announced his commitment today. The 6'0", 190 pound Missourian is fresh off his second visit to South Bend; he was in town for one of the big June official visit weekends and just came back for the Marshall [...]
The early national signing period opens up on Wednesday, December 21st and in keeping with recent tradition we can expect nearly all of Notre Dame's commits to officially commit right before Christmas. That leaves 78 days for the Irish to finish up their 2023 recruiting efforts. Recently, Notre Dame coaches were on the recruiting trail [...]
What heady times we live in... Notre Dame and Ohio State flipped back and forth for the #1 class ranking all July, with the Irish re-taking the spot right at the end of the month thanks to four-star cornerback Dion Johnson decommitting for the Buckeyes. Ohio State also lost out on a number of guys [...]
[fade in to gentle nature sounds] As the late summer sun sloughs off the demi-gloom robes of twilight, a landscape draws into view that is markedly different than the one the same heavenly traveler left us with not so long ago. The once-imposing Matterhorns that obstructed the precious natural resources the pride must hoard to [...]
After lunch time on Wednesday word began to spread that some good news could be coming imminently for Notre Dame in the recruiting world. Surely it couldn't be Jeremiyah Love? Would it be one of the 2024 targets? Perhaps it was really nothing and we'd all forget about it in the morning. Nope, a new [...]
