Coming off the conclusion of the 2021 recruiting cycle, the most halting cycle in college football history, three things can be assumed when discussing Notre Dame’s 27 signees.
— Some of them will transfer, possibly before they ever play a snap.
— At least one will develop beyond current expectations.
— There will be public consternation when a particular recruit or two does not play on Labor Day Sunday at Florida State.
Transfers have long (always?) been part of college football, and that aspect will only increase moving forward. It is universally expected the NCAA will approve a new rule this spring, allowing all undergraduates one transfer without a season sidelined.
