Any word on how the visit went? Are we expecting good news soon?

When Notre Dame plays at Duke on Sept. 30, the game will kick off at 7:30 p.m. EDT. The game will be televised on ABC.

Some friends are going and I'm hoping to join them. One ticket and I will go, two tickets and I can bring another ND buddy. Thanks!

I spoke with Notre Dame 2026 offensive tackle prospect Rico Schrieber on Sunday. The 6-foot-7, 330-pound offensive tackle attended Saturday's game against Central Michigan. He is not yet rated or ranked by Rivals.

Schrieber attends Chicago (Ill.) Marist and has six total offers including four Power Five programs: Boston College, Miami (Fla.), Nebraska and Purdue.

He didn't have an opportunity to speak with offensive line coach Joe Rudolph but said he met and spent time chatting with quarterbacks coach Gino Guidugli. Before taking his visit, Schrieber already had connected with Rudolph, Guidugli and senior analyst Kevin Reihner through social media.

"My visit went overall really good," Schrieber told Inside ND Sports. "We got to see the players walk out onto the field. My favorite moment was seeing the players walk out while everyone was watching."

Schrieber and Marist faced Chicago (Ill.) Saint Ignatius College Prep, home to Ohio State 2024 five-star defensive tackle Justin Scott, on Friday. Marist lost 30-27 but Schrieber helped pave the way for a season-high 271 rushing yards.

Schrieber said he didn't have any major takeaways from Notre Dame's play on the field but said the crowd and atmosphere stood out. Being from nearby Illinois, Schrieber said he has a good understanding of Notre Dame's history and tradition as one of the biggest brands in college football.

He didn't leave campus with an offer but said he's excited to come back in the future. A return visit could happen in the winter or spring but Schrieber said he's focusing on his sophomore season for the time being.

"I am very interested in growing a relationship with Notre Dame they’re a great program for offensive linemen and I would be very grateful to get an offer," Schrieber said.

Notre Dame 2025 safety target Jayce Cora plans to visit for the Ohio State game on Saturday. It will be his first trip to campus.

The 6-foot-4, 185-pound recruit is listed as an athlete by Rivals, a designation for a multi-positional prospect.

Cora picked up an offer from Notre Dame late this summer. He reports five total offers Notre Dame, Illinois, Massachusetts, Temple and West Virginia.

The Naples (Fla.) Lely recruit is not currently rated or ranked by Rivals.

2024 wide receiver prospect Xavier Southall committed to Notre Dame on Sunday. He is believed to take a spot as a preferred walk-on (PWO).

The Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy wide receiver is an Irish legacy. His father, Corny Southall, played cornerback at Notre Dame from 1985-88.

Southall reported two offers from Alcorn State and Brown.

The 6-foot, 178-pound recruit was on campus this weekend for Notre Dame's win against Central Michigan and spent extensive time around Irish 2024 commits.

Per our local ABC channel in Huntsville Alabama, just announced Buchner as starter tomorrow for Bama

He reminds me of Clausen in 2009 but he won't match Clausen's 2009 stats.
Hartman does not have a Golden Tate

Bertrand is on the list for media interviews Tuesday night (one of four players along with Joe Alt, Cam Hart and Spencer Shrader). I can't remember ND ever making an injured player available in season on a game week, so this is a good sign.

Did Botelho play alot Saturday? I admit I was not watching super closely, but do not remember seeing him or hearing his name called. Really need his pass rush next week.

I am tired of colorado, who have the played TCU over rated, Nebraska not ranked and CSU not ranked.CSU had 176 yards in penalties, REALLY! I had a feeling CSU was going 2 loose. They go 2 Oregon and then gave USC at home. Why no Hartman for the Heisman , he has 15 TD and 1057 passing yds, but all I here is s sanders. Go Irish

In addition to the football recruits visiting campus on Saturday, Notre Dame men’s basketball is also hosting its four commits on unofficial visits. I did not get a photo of PWO Brady Stevens but can confrim he is in attendance.

I’m looking for 4 for OSU game. email: tony@ironheadfab.com

Got into Notre Dame's heavy 12 personnel usage in the first item and the likelihood of diversifying that moving forward ... also items on the smooth re-entry so far adjusting back to the Eastern time zone, a thumbnail and fun fact about Tennessee State and a quick Eli Raridon update.

I'll be curious to hear from your review on the play of the receivers. It seemed ND rarely had receivers running wide open. More often than not, Hartman was having to hold the ball way too long trying to find an open receiver. Were they just not getting open, were they running lousy routes or were the DB's on the other team that good?

My five defining plays:

1. Tobias Merriweather’s 75-yard touchdown catch
2. Joshua Burnham’s roughing the passer penalty
3. Audric Estimé’s 17-yard touchdown run
4. Jack Kiser’s sack
5. Jase Bauer’s third-and-2 conversion

Here's why:
