    I like that he's a Cincy Saint X kid. Lot of good players from that program and the area.

    4 star RB Javan Osborne from Texas commits to ND over Mich. He’s a good one for sure.

    BREAKING - Four-star Forney High School (Texas) running back Javian Osborne has committed to Notre Dame, giving the Irish a dynamic, play-making running back and adding another four-star recruit to a strong Class of 2026 that's shaping up to be one of the best in the nation.

    Osborne, the No. 90 prospect and No. 6 overall tailback who holds a 247Sports Composite Rating of 0.9585, chose the Irish over Michigan, Miami, Georgia and other top contenders. He has an official visit scheduled at Notre Dame on June 13.

    Seems to me that winning three playoff games and playing in the National Championship game really helps in recruiting.

    No doubt Gip, but also it helps that Freeman has made it a priority and really works at it. Saban, Smart and Ryan Day do that and don't accept a listless effort from staff.

    Lacrosse has not been one of our strong suits until this year. It will be interesting to see how we fare with Notre Dame!

    New "annual" opponent! Clemson. Some are saying this is in anticipation of USC asking out of the annual rivalry with the Irish due to the Big10 Schedule.

    [​IMG]

    From a free article on ISD.

    According to Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger, Notre Dame and Clemson have agreed to an annual game for 12 years starting in 2027. ISD sources have also confirmed the agreement.

    Notre Dame, which is not part of the ACC but plays five annual games against the conference, will maintain that status, and the game against the Tigers will count toward those yearly games.

    The move boosts both programs on a yearly basis, which is needed considering the ACC's nosedive in football and it’s the first new series of at least 12 games for Notre Dame since 2002.

    Notre Dame and Clemson Agree on 12-Year Series

    Looks like a sellout for the game Sunday here in Columbus Terry. Ticket prices are out of sight per reports. Our stadium seats 2100 and completely sold out. ESPN 2 will televise the the noon game.

    Irish baseball has moved up to 11th of 16 teams in the ACC with a 12-15 conference record and 28-19 overall. They've won 12 of their last 14 games. One more home game vs. Bowling Green, a Tuesday home game vs. E. Michigan, and a season ending series at Miami should tell how far they've come vis-a-vis the ACC postseason tournament.

    I see where the Notre Dame wins over OHio State in lacrosse this afternoon, in the second round. Still a good season for the Buckeyes. We are improving from what is use to be.:)

    The Texas A&M game is announced as a Sellout already. Many are suprised, not that it's a sellout but that it's announce before the Alumni Lottery. Game times also announced for home games.

    Irish Baseball swept a non-conference series with Bowling Green. Season ending series with Miami is a critical one for any chance at at least making the ACC Tournament.

    Well M. Freeman and staff continue to roll in recruiting. Looks like we will see even more commits this week after last weeks commits. Maybe being in the Championship game after beating the likes of Penn St. and Georgia is paying off.
    Go Irish!

    The current state of Irish football recruiting is very good, it's not Nick Saban good or even Kirby Smart good or Ryan Day good but it's the best we've seen in awhile.

    I don't really keep up with Irish Men's Golf but apparently we're not a bad team this year...

    TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The University of Notre Dame men’s golf team is in the thick of the 2025 NCAA Regional Tournament and sits steady in second place through the first 18 holes Monday at host Florida State University.
