You need Parks and Folorunsho. I'd take 3 DT's this cycle.

I don't think you "need" both in the transfer portal era where you're going to be abke to backfill your roster every yeat at a place like Notre Dame. That said, if ND takes 3 DT / NGs in this cycle you're certainly not going to hear me complain. If you can get 3 quality kids with high upside, you definitely take them.

In 2026 your 4-deep is likely...

Brewu-Onye
Hughes-Gray
Burgess-Mukam
Mullins-Dixon

In 2027 your 4-deep is likely....

Brewu-Gray
Burgess-Mukam OR Portal Addition
Golden-Dixon OR Portal Addition
Freshman-Hola

In the Portal era you can really only succession plan 2'ish years ahead, so ND is pretty set (even with normal transfer attrition) for the foreseeable future. The ability to augment through the Portal for plug-n-play additions is also enormous.

St Pats played Notre Dame College Prep (my boys school) in IHSA Basketball playoffs tonight...huge rivalry between the 2 schools, being the 2 largest all boys schools in IL. just like ND vs Duke, ND failed miserably vs St Pats with a 57-26 loss...

I know you guys are obsessed with this dude, and Granger inspired me with the stalking...here he is in the St Patrick student section

PolishDomer · Feb 25, 2026

Based on his chanting, he doesn't like the ND logo...hes not coming here lol

We have not had much success with Chicago kids having anywhere close to a predisposition to ND. Justin Scott potentially all over again. Will ND get into a bidding war this time?

ND is willing to battle financially for guys they want, but not to the point that it compromises their entire depth chart and program depth. Like it or not, ND is always going to run their program in a fiscally prudent fashion, so unlike a program like Texas Tech where a single billionaire is personnally writing "blank checks" to attract players that would not have gone to Lubbock in previous years, ND is going to continue to focus on depth of talent on the roster, even if it means not landing as many high 4 star and 5 star recruits expecting a massive payday as some may want.

ND Thoroughly believes that a focus on roster retention among the players they want to keep to build depth, is every bit as important as attracting a few more top flight talents each year. They'd rather field squads of a fully developed juniors and seniors with high upsides, then highly paid freshmen and sophomores with no depth behind them because of how much they were paid.

Such is life as a team with carefully adhered to budget.

43 wins in the last four seasons. Chicago kids maybe the ones missing out?

Need to nail the visit this weekend

Miami is a big NIL player for sure.
They gave their freshman right tackle big big money to start as an 18 year old this year.

Jiggafini19Deux · Friday at 3:06 PM

St. Pat's is still a dump.

NDPhilly · Friday at 3:08 PM

Texas Tech and Miami. Don’t love where this one is going.

this is why i and a few other college sports fans that i work with HATE the NIL thing because teams like Texas Tech, Miami, Oregon and a few others ruin what it was intended to be

You mean players getting compensated based on what the market determines is the value of their contributions to a multi-billion dollar industry? What else was it intended to be?

It was ment to get them a few extra meals each month

Yeah, this is literally how every revenue generating sport works with the exception of salary capped ones in the states. Oregon, TTU, and Miami haven't won a thing, either.

People griped about TAMU ruining the sport with their record-setting recruiting class and the best they ever went with those players was 8-4. Still gotta develop talent.

It feels gross, but the thought of players getting no compensation is kind of mind blowing in hindsight.

Just enough crumbs to keep them in playing shape. No more no less. That's the NIL we were promised.

Texas Tech just gave an OL player last year 5 milllion to come to tech and that is what i'm talking about because kids aren't choosing schools for part fit and culture like they should when schools like that are basically writing blank checks

And? Crazy that a player would choose a school for financial reasons instead of using your approved criteria.

How is it ruined? Are those teams not entitled to compete?

You also do realize that ND has seen a significant uptick in the recruits it's involved in and the team's recruiting rankings directly as a result of NIL, right?

Why is that a problem? Should a kid not get market rate for his services, and if so, why not?

You're never going to convince some people that NIL is a good thing and players are worth whatever someone will pay them.
