Recruiting Thread

ND gets commitment from 4* Ohio OL Zeke Correll. Has big-time offers from Alabama OSU Stanford, Michigan and Penn St.

Was nervous about Jeff Quinn but seems to be don g a good job closing on elite OL.

They are doing a pretty good job on the recruiting trail and have some very good OL recruits.

Yesterdays commitment pushed ND up to #4 in one of the rankings for 2019. I think it may have been 24/7?

Coaches have been on a roll lately! Let's hope it continues.

GO IRISH! Onward to Victory!

I like the fact that we are getting strong OL recruits even though Hiestand has moved on.

And I think we’re now officially down to 85 scholarships. David Adams took a medical retirement.

They are at 85 for now, who knows what kind of attrition could still happen.

I hope we don’t get to the point where we have to cut players to stay at the 85 limit. The 2018 class was larger than the 2015 class and with some redshirts eligible we could be looking at that problem again in the coming years, unless we settle for a 19 or 20 member class in 2019.

With recent trends I doubt they would need to cut anyone, more and more often players transfer to get more of an opportunity.

Any word on CJ Holmes? Is there still talk that he could be back?

I keep hearing that he is gone (usually to Penn State), but then hear that he might be back. My guess is that he is done, but this offseason has been too strange to put any confidence in any potential scenario regarding this guy.

Three star RB Kyren Williams committed to Notre Dame.

This was big for the team. They need RB’s bad. Added bonus I believe he was another Michigan target.

Yes he was, I guess Harbaugh trying to sleep in front of his bedroom door didn't do it for him.

He’s reportedly definitely gone.

Another great addition they don't have trouble landing elite TE's.
