April 25Apr 25 No Domers selected in the first round. That's not too shocking. Among the 32 players selected, ND played against 10 of them. Two from Penn State, one from A&M, three from Georgia, and fourth from OSU. That's pretty impressive.

Wojack: Bryce Young.Great wrap up, @FaithInIrish Forever!I’m looking forward to the QB comp now that it’s down to Minchey and Carr. It should be very exciting!!I think Raridon will take that next step now that he’s the clear #1 TE!With the way Talich has been playing lately, I think he’s going to be the starter at SS.Agree with you about the OL! Knapp stays at LT and Jagusah stays at RG.I’m a bit worried about playing more Zone Defense, but trust Ash will have it set right. I’m sure it will take time with a new OC and fairly new scheme. It was a bit shaky during the spring game, but a lot of 2’s were playing and it’s super early!WR will be improved with another season for Greathouse as the clear #1, and Faison at least getting some Spring Practices in. I think Gilbert and Smith will do well as backups. Let’s hope Pauling can step in and produce immediately!I also agree that this is a talented team, and I would argue Notre Dame has the best 1a/1b combo at RB in all of CFB!Go Irish!!!

May 4May 4 Author This week has been a really nice one for Notre Dame Football Recruits. 3, 4 stars committed. S Aiden Pouncey, LB Kobe Clapper and ,RB Javian Osborne!
May 12May 12 Author All cleaned up again @Mike! Thanks for teaching me how to do a post merge again!Big news this weekDT Tiki Hola commits- Long armed nose tackle who is growing into his frame and could be an impact run stuffer.Other than that alot of conjecture and space filling videos. Top defenders, impact freshman, typical summer things. Feel free to start threads on any notre dame football topic including those. I'm just creating a video resource library thread for us!Feel free to discuss these in this thread, in your own thread. I just want them to be in one place so we all can see what is out there.
Monday at 09:04 PM1 day Author Pretty well cleaned up again @Mike!This week besides the addition of Jonaz Walton to the recruiting class the videos are mostly celebrating the recruiting run which @Big23Head has on lock in his recruiting prospects thread. Another back who compares with Folston of the first Denbrock Era.Mike likes backs that can do it all, catch, block, run, these two check all the boxes like Folston did. The new running backs coach will give them a deeper understanding of the full offense because he was a QB for west Virginia back in the day.

If I'm being honest I don't see love type burst in this class, so i'm hoping the smaller receivers possess the open field speed we like.
