It's been an unprecedented month for the whole world including for college football whose spring practices came to a sudden halt in March. For Notre Dame, they will head into the uncertainty of summer with just one practice from spring and virtually nothing achieved for player development. Obviously, it's thrown everything for the program into [...]
If it wasn't official last year it is now. Notre Dame (along with the vast majority of the country) now treat Early Signing Day, which concluded last Friday, December 20, 2019, as the traditional Signing Day. Now that NSD is jammed in between the end of the regular season and bowl season it feels lost [...]
It's been 4 months since our last scholarship update as the summer recruiting world for Notre Dame slowed down tremendously once July arrived. As such, not a ton has changed for the Irish and their scholarship numbers although there is always plenty to talk about as we are a couple months away from the early [...]
Our last Notre Dame scholarship update came before spring ball and it's been a busy several months changing the landscape and numbers game for the Irish. Let's get right to the good stuff. Out of Eligibility Following 2019 WR Chris Finke WR Chase Claypool OL Trevor Ruhland DE Julian Okwara DE Khalid Kareem DE Jamir [...]
The recruiting cycle for 2020 is here and it still feels weird to type out that year. It's amazing to witness this being Brian Kelly's 11th recruiting class at Notre Dame, or really his 10th full recruiting class after being hired late in the 2010 cycle. In the Roster Management Era™ the Fighting Irish also [...]
College football's plan to kill the real National Signing Day allow student-athletes to sign their binding Letter of Intent paperwork begins this Wednesday, December 19th and runs through Friday at the end of the week. The early signing period is upon us and good news for Irish fans, all of the current Notre Dame commits [...]
We've been so busy with actual football stuff that we've yet to run through the scholarship situation since April 30th. What is college football without recruiting, we ask? The actual seasons with games are so short it sometimes feels like we're here for the recruiting more than anything else. Don't forget the early signing period [...]
This is our first scholarship update since right after National Signing Day and over the past 2+ months the football team has completed spring practice and moves toward the long, dark summer of little news and a lot of off-season workouts. For some strange reason, it feels like there's been a lot of roster upheaval [...]
Back in the old days we'd still be another month and a half until National Signing Day but beginning this Wednesday the early signing period opens up for 72 hours. As of this writing all of Notre Dame's commits are expected to sign with the Irish so effectively the first Wednesday in February will be [...]
Only a matter of days ago our 18 Stripes Twitter feed joked that the 2018 senior class was almost under 20 bodies which has always been the case in recent years and frankly happens at most schools. That was after a transfer on May 31st and just 5 days later another transfer brings the 2018 [...]
Our last scholarship update occurred shortly after National Signing Day and while a recent decommit has awoken the Irish from a late spring period of quiet there was a lot of action in February to recap here today. As usual, the numbers are tight but the roster has seen some recent attrition opening up a [...]
As you know, recruiting never stops. As soon as the 2017 cycle ended last week we're turning our sights on the next class being built by Notre Dame. Things are off to a swell start as of this writing (4th in the Composite) but don't go puffing out your chest just yet. It's still very [...]

Welcome back to our latest scholarship update as we're just 9 weeks away from National Signing Day. With our last update there was a focus on the effects of hiring a new defensive coordinator. Despite the slow swirling rumors about the future of Brian Kelly it's a new DC that remains the greatest known unknown. [...]
