Absolutely. The staff invites guys they see as PWO guys and guys that have a shot at earning an offer.

Now the PWO guys may or may not know where they stand, but it's a chance for ND to get eyes on them in a competitive environment.

This summer will mark the third edition of the Irish Invasion, an invitation-only premier event that has been hosted on Notre Dame's campus on the third Friday of June. The date of the 2016 event has not been announced, but it is expected be in late June.

"Irish Invasion is a huge event. What makes it different from any other university is the fact that it's a national event," said Scott Booker, Notre Dame's special teams coordinator/tight ends coach. "You have things like (Rivals.com) ... you have things like that, and then you really have a thing like our Irish Invasion. We pull kids from all four time zones. We have 20, 30 states represented."

Other elite college football programs have been holding similar events, such as Urban Meyer's "Friday Night Lights" event that he introduced at Florida and brought to Ohio State, and Michigan's "BBQ at the Big House," which started under Rich Rodriguez.

Notre Dame's staff uses the Irish Invasion as a tool to get dozens of top-flight high school football players to converge with the idea of showing them what the campus and school is really about and so coaches can evaluate those prospects.
