With the recent commitment of Rylie Mills for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Brian Kelly and company were able to put a checkmark next to one of its most prized prospects. In doing so, they have shot back up the team recruiting rankings to the #9 position.
Look, the Irish aren’t going to have the #1 ranked recruiting class — and perhaps not even in the top 5. They do, however, have a great chance at staying inside the top 10. That kind of talent with the proper development is still quite sufficient to compete for a national championship.
