Like stated in Jones's thread Denbrock and LaFleur spent a lot of time at Bishop Gorman and were inquiring about the sophomore class which is supposed to be pretty darn good. #GormanPipeline.

That is a great school to choose from! I do not recall his name, but I really like their QB and I believe he is a Sophomore? Watched the game against Bosco and he was very impressive!

Irish targeting 2017 Rivals100 members

Andrew Ivins
BlueandGold.com

The first edition of the Rivals100 for the class of 2017 was released on Monday, and there are number of names on the list that are already being recruited by Notre Dame.

Brownsburg (Ind.) quarterback < a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/footballrecruiting/football/recruiting/player-Hunter-Johnson-161151;_ylt=An9nnsECr8PhrzbFUXtd2o1GPZB4">Hunter Johnson was one of nine quarterbacks to earn a star ranking in the initial release, and he's one of Notre Dame's top overall targets on the board.

Johnson recently told Blue & Gold Illustrated that he has been in contact with new Notre dame offensive coordinator Mike Sanford, and that he will be taking an unofficial visit to campus on March 15.

While Johnson is certainly a prospect that Irish fans should get to know moving forward, he's not the only target that earned a set of stars on Monday. Blue & Gold Illustrated takes a look at some of the other underclassmen on the list with early interest from the Notre Dame coaching staff.

4-star WR Terrell Bynum (Anaheim, Calif.) - Notre Dame has yet to offer Bynum, but it should be noted that the Irish coaching staff frequented Servite High during the recruitment of Equanimeous St. Brown.

4-star CB Chevin Calloway (Dallas, Texas) - The Irish were the first to offer Calloway back on Jan. 28. He attends the same high school as current Notre Dame defensive back Nick Watkins.

4-star DE A.J. Epenesa (Edwardsville, Ill.) - Epenesa's father played for Bob Elliott at Iowa, which gives him a familiar face at Notre Dame. He was offered by the Irish on Jan. 29.

4-star ATH Maleik Gray (La Vergne, Tenn.) - Notre Dame recruiting coordinator Mike Elston offered Gray back on Feb. 14. He doesn't know much about the Irish but did see them play Florida State last season.

5-star WR Trevon Grimes (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) - Grimes recently named Ohio State his leader, but he's an Indiana native that has stated before, that he would like to visit Notre Dame. The Irish offered on Jan. 1.

5-star CB Darnay Holmes (Newbury Park, Calif.) - The Irish offered Holmes on Dec. 3 when former quarterback Matt LaFleur recruited the area. Sanford is now expected to take over the recruitment.

4-star LB Anthony Hines (Plano, Texas) - Notre Dame offered Hines last summer when Kerry Cooks was in place.

4-star RB Greg Johnson (Los Angeles, Calif.) - The Irish haven't offered Johnson yet, but he's being evaluated after landing recent bids from a number of PAC-12 schools.

4-star QB Hunter Johnson (Brownsburg, Ind.) - Johnson had a previous relationship with LaFleur. He's now building one with Sanford.

4-star WR Joseph Lewis (Los Angeles) - Lewis was offered by Notre Dame on March 6. It will be difficult to lure away from nearby USC and UCLA.

4-star WR Tyjon Lindsey (Las Vegas) - Notre Dame has turned Bishop Gorman into a pipeline, and Lindsey is the next talented pass-catcher at the school.

4-star DT Kayden Lyles (Scottsdale, Ariz.) - Notre Dame offered Lyles last April during the spring evaluation period.

4-star QB Tate Martell (Las Vegas) - Like Lindsey, Martell is one of the next big things to come out of Bishop Gorman. The one time Washington commit already golds offers from USC and Arizona State.

5-star LB Dylan Moses (Baton Rouge, La.) - Notre Dame offered the LSU commit back in August of 2013.

5-star OL Josh Myers (Miamisburg, Ohio) - Myers told Blue & Gold Illustrated in January that he has been in contact with Irish offensive line coach Harry Hiestand. He committed to Ohio State a few weeks later.

4-star WR Osiris St. Brown (Anaheim, Calif.) - The brother of 2014 signee Equanimeous St. Brown was offered by Irish head coach Brian Kelly in-person on Jan. 28 during an in-home visit with the family.

4-star OL Isaiah Wilson (Brooklyn) - Wilson told Blue & Gold Illustrated on Saturday that he hadn't heard much from Notre Dame to date, but he's interested in the program. He attends the same high school as current lineman Jay Hayes.

4-star S Daniel Wright (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) - Wright doesn't hold an offer from Notre Dame, but that should change. New running backs coach Autry Denson has ties to Cardinal Gibbons, and Wright - who's brother is NFL safety Major Wright - is one of the top prospects at the school.

We're right in the mix with Epenesa. Word from TV this morning has the family really enjoying the Junior Day visit. We'll be a factor until the end.

Keith Gilmore just passed through Kernersville (N.C.) East Forsyth High. Two 2017 names to know there: running back Christian Beal and cornerback Madison Cone. Both hold multiple ACC offers.

17' GA DE Robert Beal was offered this evening. Visited ND on April 8th and has a grandmother in South Bend that used to work at the school. Very good player, IMO and we should have a shot.

Joshua Ross had never met Notre Dame defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder before, but all it took was one five-minute chalk talk session with the coach for him to realize that's a man he could see himself playing for one day.

Ross, who took an unofficial visit to Notre Dame on Sunday, was offered a scholarship by the Irish on the spot, and that put the program right into his top three.

"Notre Dame, to me, is a school that I really like," Ross said. "I would say that Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame are my top three, with no order."

Ross has already been identified as one of the top linebacker prospects in the class of 2017. He's the younger brother of current Michigan linebacker and former four-star recruit James Ross. - See more at: https://notredame.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1766943#sthash.jima8VSX.dpuf

IRV SMITH JR

"I don't really know what's up with Notre Dame," Smith Jr. said. "They've been sending me letters but nobody's really talked to me yet.

"My dad is curious too, about why we haven't heard from them. If they don't then that's how it is. He tells me I should go to a school that really wants me, and just because he went to Notre Dame doesn't mean I have to go there. It's not like that at all. He's not pushing me anywhere."
He was invited to the Irish Invasion in June, but at this point it doesn't look like the trip is in the works.
Instead, the current slate of summer plans includes Alabama, Texas A&M, Texas, Arizona State, Miami, Florida, LSU and Oklahoma State.

"Several of those schools have been showing a lot of love," Smith Jr. said. "They've shown they really want me, which is important. I'll probably make those trips and then start working on narrowing down a list, definitely a top ten."

From Steve W. There is a story up about Jake Moretti a top '17 OL on the page attached here and he just got offered. Profile anyone? It's a side story on the one attached below.

Notre Dame is the latest to offer Arvada (Colo.) Pomona four-star offensive tackle Jake Moretti, one of the nation's best at his position in the class of 2017.

The 6-5, 285-pounder has already picked up offers from California, Colorado, Colorado State, Miami, Michigan, Ohio State, UCLA and others.

alabama commit : Najee Harris, rb TOP 2017 RB RIVALS
sanford visited

"He was awesome," Dudley said. "That was the first time that I had met him, and he made everything very personable. We talked about when he was at Stanford and stuff like that. He 'bumped' into Najee and then watched us practice. I was very impressed."

Takeaway from Wednesday's visit, was Sanford's ability to work a room at a school that he hadn't been at before

Five-star QB planning to be at Irish Invasion

HH came to pick up transcripts and check up on 2017 offensive tackle Jake Moretti. The Arvada Pomona High product said he spoke to Hiestand on the phone for about 20 minutes and that's when he learned that he had the offer.

"It's crazy. … I mean it's Notre Dame. The history they have behind that school with the alum they have it's just a great university and it means a lot,"
