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 [...]
This was a difficult championship weekend to process. Certainly, it lacked drama and thanks to USC's loss on Friday night in Las Vegas there was basically nothing at stake for the Power 5 matchups on Saturday. The top 2 seeds took care of business anyway, even if they didn't need to, and the no. 3 [...]

These are the type of weekends that are really difficult to shake off, forget, and let go. It featured LSU flopping in College Station and that felt like a briefly funny but ultimately pointless loss for Brian Kelly. What can we say?

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.
