Well folks, we’ve finally made it. After the wacky and wild journey that it’s been with this 2023 recruiting class and the ever-evolving new normal of NIL being an unpredictable game-changer, it’s officially Early Signing Day for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football program and all other FBS programs across the country.
Of course, this day doesn’t mean the craziness is done — plenty of recruits will likely choose to extend their decision timelines into the normal signing period in February, and we all know from examples like Eddie Vanderdoes and many others that signing an NLI doesn’t even GUARANTEE that a recruitment is locked up.
