2025 Notre Dame Recruiting Prospects


Recommended Posts

Really happy to see that ND is trending well with Deuce Knight. I can't get away from being worried about him staying with ND through signing day.  Both Ten & Ala have MacIntyre at the top of their QB board with Knight being next.  I am worried that the loser of that battle could give Knight cause to flip if he does end up verbally committing to ND.  If the decision were mine, I would think hard about the decision to take either Knight or Bachmeier.  Of course I don't have the benefit of meeting with Knight in person to get a feel for his intentions.

I think that it's mostly because he's from deep SEC country.  We've apparently had only 1 Mississippi recruit in our history: Notre Dame All Time Football Recruits in Mississippi (247sports.com)

For what it is worth, 247 has his brother as playing WR at Indiana Univ. so there is some history of family leaving the SEC footprint. Deuce is also playing this season in Tennessee so a little closer to South Bend than when he was in Mississippi.

In 247’s history.  

Jarious Jackson was a really good one from Mississippi in the 90’s.  But, yeah, pretty rare.

Ahhh.... didn't see the "since 2000" disclaimer.  Anyway, the general point still stands.

I would absolutely love to have Deuce on the squad but it would be devasting to see him flip before signing day.  Like I said, I have to hope that the staff has a better feel for the situation than we do.  If he gets to the point where he's ready to commit, I would hope Freeman would ask him the hypothetical of if Ten/Ala were to make you their top priority, would you stick with us.

I think that the staff makes the case that committing is not something you do lightly. Given that they 1) don't want Irish commits to take OVs elsewhere and 2) they want recruits committed elsewhere to de-commit before they OV to ND.
