It’s been pretty quiet on the recruiting front for Notre Dame since the start of the year in terms of the class of 2019. The Irish signed all 21 of their commitments in December in the early signing period and have turned their attention mostly to the class of 2020 with just two targets left on the board in 2019 – linebacker Asa Turner and defensive end Isaiah Foskey. Those two targets though, are absolutely critical in closing out this class.
There were a lot of things that we learned in the Cotton Bowl loss to Clemson. One of the most critical, however, was that when it comes to the first 22 – aka the starting lineups – Notre Dame is not that far off from Clemson.
