We're doing a quick check in with Notre Dame's roster makeover this winter. Lots of players have left the team and many more have transferred in, along with the incoming 2026 recruiting class of freshmen. Are we keeping track of all the movement? Don't be silly, of course we are. Nearly half the roster will [...]
Your weekly dose of Notre Dame news, opinion, and other stuff. 3 News Stories #1 Transfer Doubts Deep down, we all doubted the process and what was happening.

Taking a step back, that seems like more than enough time to continue adding pieces to the 2026 team--if only players weren't skipping visits and committing elsewhere thick and fast.
