It's officially spring and we are finally ready to unleash our review of the 2023 Notre Dame recruiting class.

In case you missed it, I recently reviewed my way-too-early guess at Notre Dame’s recruiting class of 2023. Now we move on to 2024.

Hailing from Hannibal High School in northeast Missouri just across the Mississippi [...]
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.
