Just because a recruit visits a school twice doesn’t mean they are definitely going there, but it does show a concerted effort to get to know the school and everything the university and football program has to offer. I do think someone can go to ND once, fall in love, and decide that’s the school for them, but for a lot of recruits it takes more than one visit to seal the deal at ND. Like KJ Wallace came to ND and fell in love and committed right away, but continued to pick up the phone when some schools called and when he came back for a second visit (or his third, don’t remember timeline), he basically said he was shutting it down and excited to get to ND. Anyway, I don’t see ND getting some pops on commitments before Christmas when the coaches are out seeing the recruits, except for a smaller list of guys who’ve been to ND more than once and experienced all or most of what ND has to offer...
.9775 4* WR AJ Henning
.9084 4* WR Daniel Jackson
.8982 3* OL Peter Skoronski
.9784 4* DL Darrion Henry
.9503 4* DL Cole Brevard
.9485 4* DL Rylie Mills
.8986 4* DL Aidan Keanaaina
.8880 3* DL Braiden McGregor
.9542 4* LB Kalel Mullings
.9619 4* DB Enzo Jennings
Henning I believe is going to take his time, but he’s been to ND more times than I can count and he definitely could pop at any time although I don’t think the kid will make a decision for a while. Jackson seems to be liking Texas A&M and ND a lot so I think it’ll take another round of visits in the spring but hopefully someone can sit him down this fall and get him to sign up. Skoronski is a guy who I think if the staff pushes hard for him he’d be Irish but there might be guys in front of him. Darrion Henry and Cole Brevard are two guys who the staff have done all the right things in terms of getting them on campus a lot, offering early, and staying on them, but I don’t think they end up at ND. Rylie Mills, Braiden McGregor, and Aidan Keanaaina are all a toss up as to who commits next cause I think all 3 like ND a great deal and have been to South Bend multiple times and in front of a game day crowd so they’ve seen what they need to see. Would love to grab all 3 but that would be tough, they are all wanted badly by other schools. Kalel Mullings has been to ND in March, July, and met Jaylon Smith in September in South Bend for a game. On top of that he came to NYC to see ND in November so if someone beats those recruiting trips then hats off to them cause ND has done just about everything to land Kalel. Enzo Jennings seems to like ND a whole bunch and the analysts have thrown a couple CB’s in for ND. I think Michigan will have something to say about this recruitment before it’s over but ND is in a great spot.
This is all not to say that someone who’s never visited ND might pop in the next few weeks or that Andrew Raym, Lathan Ransom, Jalen McMillan, and the German kid may just say I’ve seen and heard enough and they pop, but I think the next commit comes from the above group with my number one being Rylie Mills committing before Christmas after getting a visit from Brian Kelly sealing the deal.
