Here are tonight's Lucky Charms...
*** Sun Prairie (Wis.) High class of 2022 defensive lineman Isaac Hamm has eight scholarship offers to this point, and he plans to cut his list in half on Friday. The Fighting Irish offered Hamm in October, and he raved about the offer. I like where Notre Dame is at in the recruitment, but you have to think Wisconsin has the lead. Both Notre Dame and Wisconsin are all but guaranteed to make his top group. Penn State looks to be a pretty safe bet too.
*** Apopka (Fla.) High class of 2022 cornerback Nikai Martinez posted a top 12 schools list over the weekend. Notre Dame made the cut along with Auburn, Georgia Tech, Florida, Georgia, Cincinnati, Mississippi State, Florida, Clemson, Arkansas, Tennessee and Maryland. I suspect he won't go very far for college, but if he does, the Fighting Irish have a great shot. He visited for a game last fall from Florida, showing his high interest in Notre Dame.
*** I've received more recruit reaction in the past couple of days from Notre Dame's win over Clemson that I wanted to share.. Remember, part of what I asked the recruits is if the win changed how they felt at all about Notre Dame.
2022 QB Gavin Wimsatt: "It doesn’t really change how I feel about them but it gives me a lot of comfort knowing that they are capable of big things and know what they’re doing."
2022 DB Toriano Pride: "They played great as a unit and as a team. You can tell that they have been working all offseason for this, and it shows on the field. If they can keep it up I can most definitely see them making it very far."
2022 LB Joshua Burnham: "Notre Dame has definitely done an amazing job communicating with me and making me feel like family. They are an amazing program, and I can't wait to get down there for a visit."
(I don't think Burnham understood the question correctly, but hey, the answer still sounds good for Notre Dame.)
2021 WR commit Jayden Thomas: "It was crazy. The vibe in South Bend was lit."
