The proximity of another NCAA dead period - from June 26th to August 28th, prospects can't meet staff on or off campus - feels like a natural time for us to review the Big Board again. When we last got together we touted the possibility of 2023 being arguably the best class of the internet [...]
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.

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 [...]
