After a nearly 3-month-long commitment drought on the offensive side of the ball, Notre Dame received some very welcome news today when offensive tackle Joe Alt decided to verbally commit to the Fighting Irish. The 6'7"/260-pounder out of Minneapolis, MN is the 12th commit in the Irish Class of 2021 -- a class which currently [...]
It's coming up on three months since Notre Dame's last commitment on the offensive side of the ball -- the most recent one being 3-star OL Pat Coogan on April 15th. There's a lot of grumbling going on by ND fans insisting this is Tommy Rees' fault or Jeff Quinn's fault or (insert the name [...]
It's been a pretty slow summer for Notre Dame football on the recruiting trail. With the recruiting dead period extended through July due to the coronavirus pandemic and no visits allowed to occur, it's been difficult for the Irish staff to make moves with some of the targets that haven't been able to visit campus [...]
Notre Dame football gained some much-needed good news this Friday afternoon, as defensive end David Abiara has decided to verbally commit to the Fighting Irish. The 6'4"/250-pounder out of Mansfield, TX is the 3rd defensive commit in Notre Dame's class of 2021, joining defensive tackle Gabe Rubio and safety Justin Walters. David first received his [...]
If you haven't already seen it, last week I reviewed my way-too-early guess at Notre Dame's recruiting class of 2020. I promised another way-too-early guess for 2021 was on the way -- and here it is. As with the 2019 cycle, the class of 2020 was all wrapped up in mid-December, giving the Notre Dame [...]
A little over a year ago I published my annual Way (Way) Too Early Guess at Notre Dame's Recruiting Class of 2020. As always with these posts, there is a ton of projection and guesswork involved. At this point in February, the Irish are still going through some evaluations, loads of kids haven't even started [...]
Notre Dame football's Junior Day event this past Saturday, while small, has already bore fruit for the Fighting Irish program. Junior Day attendee and 2021 safety Justin Walters has decided to shut down his recruitment and verbally commit to Notre Dame. The 6'2"/175-pound safety out of Bolingbrook, Illinois is Notre Dame's eighth verbal commit in [...]
Notre Dame football's big recruiting weekend is starting off with a BIG bang. Elite 2021 prospect Deion Colzie has decided to verbally commit to the Fighting Irish. The 6'4"/195-pounder out of Athens, Georgia is the 6th commit for Notre Dame's Recruiting Class of 2021 -- a class which already includes FIVE players ranked in the [...]
Welcome back to this latest edition of the 2020 Football Recruiting Big Board! Since our last big board update, the Irish have received verbal commitments from four different prospects -- receivers Jay Brunelle and Xavier Watts on offense, as well as defensive backs Landen Bartleson and Caleb Offord on defense. With us reaching the dead [...]
Notre Dame picked up a key part of its 2020 offensive class today when receiver Xavier Watts pledged to the Irish. Rumor held for some time that the 6’1”, 185-pound Nebraskan was an Irish lean; some late buzz for the hometown Huskers surfaced but quickly dissipated. He showed early interest in Michigan too, who pursued [...]
A big recruiting weekend for Notre Dame continued this Sunday night, when offensive tackle Michael Carmody decided to verbally commit to the Fighting Irish. The 6'6"/285-pounder out of Pennsylvania is the 13th player to join Notre Dame's recruiting class of 2020. For those of you who follow Notre Dame basketball, Michael's last name probably looks [...]

A big-time recruiting day started up earlier this Saturday afternoon when 4-star defensive tackle Gabriel Rubio decided to verbally commit to the Fighting Irish. The 6'5"/290-pounder out of Missouri was (more on that later) the 3rd player to commit to Notre Dame for the Class of 2021. Notre Dame was an offer that Rubio coveted [...]
