    Had to put the dog, Rockne, down today. He was 15.5 so he ran through Weis into Kelly. Let's hope the puppy to come (Gipper) has a similar run.

    umm...this would be nuts

    Notre Dame is off to a great start with the class of 2022. The Fighting Irish have already secured six commits this cycle and have the No. 6 overall class according to the 247Sports Composite Team Recruiting Rankings.

    So, who else could join the class? I’m getting close to picking Notre Dame on the 247Sports Crystal Ball for a big-time talent.

    In talking with multiple sources, Notre Dame is trending very well with Scottsdale (Ariz.) Chaparral four-star defensive tackle Anthony Lucas. The 6-5, 279-pounder, who is versatile enough to play along the interior or on the edge of the defensive line, has been a major priority for the Fighting Irish for a long time. However, the staff, led by defensive coordinator Marcus Freeman and defensive line coach Mike Elston, have taken things up a notch over the past few months. From what we’ve gathered, Lucas is saying all of the right things. One well-respected, connected source believes Notre Dame is sitting alone at the top right now despite him not yet making it to campus to check out South Bend. That could be the difference-maker if and when that trip does occur. From what we're told, a trip to campus is currently being discussed behind closed doors and everyone is trying to lock that in for the moment the dead period ends.

    As a junior, Lucas racked up 46 total tackles, 15.5 tackles for loss and seven sacks. In addition, he found the end zone on offense, once through the air and another score on the ground.

    247Sports Evaluation via Blair Angulo: All the attention is warranted. Lucas is a big-bodied lineman with supreme athleticism and quick-twitch movements. He does tremendously well at the point of attack, showing nimble feet and fast hands to shed blocks. His size allows him to dominate at the line of scrimmage but he doesn’t just get by with his frame — Lucas displays great bend and wiggle to beat opponents in pass-rush situations. In run support, he shows patience to hold his ground and remains gap conscious to maintain leverage. Lucas has major physical upside and projectable length, and given his mobility and flexibility, should be regarded as one of the best interior defensive line prospects in the nation.

    “He’s a very bright young athlete and on the field, he reminded me of Sheldon Day with more height and overall size,” wrote Irish Illustrated’s Kevin Sinclair of Lucas. “Lucas is a prime disrupter who can compete well from five-technique to one-technique. I see a bright future for this 6-foot-4 ½, 280-pounder.”

    Per 247Sports, Lucas is the No. 94 overall player in America, No. 6 defensive tackle nationally and No. 1 prospect in Arizona from the class of 2022. The 247Sports Composite Rankings have him a little lower as the No. 164 overall talent this cycle.

    Lucas is expected to end his high school career in San Antonio at the 2022 All-American Bowl. He was invited to the prestigious game back in January.

    to add on to this, there is a guy who has west coast ties and is very into recruiting who's been saying for weeks that if Freeman/Elston turned up the heat for Lucas, ND would have a very legit shot

    one other note on recruiting, it's clear that Lea had mentally checked out of recruiting last year since he knew he was leaving. We see this happen all the time when coaches have one foot out of the door (Hiestand and Lyght being very clear examples) but it's refreshing to see new blood on the coaching staff going all in on recruiting like Freeman has

    Blank date makes me think it’s a form article that a kid forgot to save to drafts. Be nice if it was written for good reason though.

    I’ve never seen a team as highly ranked as Oregon was be so non-confident in their QBs ability to throw the football. It was shocking how often they took the ball out of his hands in the second half of games.

    In short, pass.

    The offense has signed 4 top 100 guys the last two years. I think they get the benefit of a little patience (at least through mid June) before we start to panic.
