- BGI interviewed 2 of the 2023 QB's that were on campus throwing for Tommy this month. Vizzina is a very intriguing option, IMO. I've looked but I can't seem to find any workout footage of him. I'd really like to see more of him. He's someone that I think could have a big rise in the future.

It definitely feels like we’ve got some insane momentum on the recruiting trail right now (except maybe QB). I think if we can have another year like we’ve had five the last four it could continue that momentum. Exciting time to be an ND football fan that’s for sure

Jamie U is a blessing. Love reading those. Patiently waiting on ISD to up his 91 rating though!
