Notre Dame’s recruiting class took a bit of a hit last week. First, top 100 receiver and Notre Dame target Jalen McMillan committed to the University of Washington, before getting on campus for his official visit to South Bend in the fall. Then top 100 receiver AJ Henning committed to Michigan following a slew of official visits to various schools, including Notre Dame, and thus removing the two highest rated offense players remaining on Notre Dame’s board.
Both of the these moves would have been more surprising in April, but not so much now. Henning had been moving toward Michigan for a few months and there was traction with McMillan to Washington as far back as May.
