The first article in this series looked at quarterback, running back, and wide receiver. We will finish things up on the offensive side of the ball today with a look at offensive line and tight end. These are traditionally positions of strength for Notre Dame, although we've had many discussions in the past about the [...]
We have no choice but to put a lot of stock into the recruiting rankings from various sites. Well, maybe not ESPN these days. However, the 247 Composite is something, at least on a national level, you have to more or less trust is going to correctly identify the best players in the country, especially [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Notre Dame has dipped back into the state of Maryland for the first time since the 2021 class and cornerback Ryan Barnes as Hagerstown defensive tackle product Devan Houstan committed to the Irish on Saturday. Houstan originally hails from the Toronto suburb of Mississauga and has been going to school at the prep academy St. [...]
This is the last stop on our journey taking a look at the best recruits signed by all of the major college football programs. Today, we tackle the behemoth that is the SEC. With Texas and Oklahoma set to join the league in the coming years that would make it 15 out of the 16 [...]
The Notre Dame faithful received more good news Wednesday night when blue-chip defensive lineman Boubacar Traore gave his verbal commitment to the Fighting Irish. The 6'4"/250-pounder out of West Roxbury, MA continues the Irish staff's strong week on the recruiting trail by becoming the 11th commit in Notre Dame's recruiting class of 2023 -- a [...]
Harry Heistand has his first verbal since arriving back at Notre Dame. On Monday night, 2023 interior offensive lineman Sam Pendleton committed to the Fighting Irish during a ceremony at his high school. He was offered only 5 weeks ago and becomes the first offensive lineman to join the class. I am committed to @NDFootball‼️ [...]
Notre Dame, who you may have heard is, uh, long on opportunity for incoming wideouts, landed a huge piece of the 2023 recruiting class today when top 100 prospect Braylon James announced for the Irish. The 6'3", 190 pound Texan broke the Irish seal for new receiver coach Chansi Stuckey in a big way; at [...]
Hold up, we're not done with the 2022 recruiting cycle yet. On Friday evening the Fighting Irish signed their 22nd member of the class as Cincinnati, Ohio running back Gi'Bran (pronounced Juh-Brawn) Payne joined the fold. Offered by Notre Dame in the summer of 2020, Payne would commit to Indiana the following summer and signed [...]
We are approaching the halfway mark of the 2023 recruiting cycle and this is our first scholarship update of the 2022 calendar year following a December bowl-prep check in after Brian Kelly left for LSU. While Notre Dame lost on the field in the Fiesta Bowl the success and growing optimism off the field through [...]
