Here are tonight's Lucky Charms...
*** Let me start by saying this is a projection pick. My sources feel good about where the Irish stand in the recruitment of Las Vegas Bishop Gorman class of 2022 offensive tackle Jake Taylor, but nothing is imminent and he hasn't visited campus yet. It's tough to make picks on 2022 recruits considering the dead period is extended through April 2021, but I could see Taylor taking a self-guided tour visit of Notre Dame in the near future. Ever since the Irish offered him in October, the conversations between his family and Jeff Quinn have been very good.
*** Oklahoma is a threat here and he loved his visit to Norman in late November. I believe he was able to attend their game against Baylor as well. Clemson looms here but hasn't offered yet. From what I've gathered, the academic piece is so important to Taylor and his family. My sources on the Irish side of things feel very optimistic about where Notre Dame stands, and I feel like Quinn and Co. will eventually win out on this recruitment.
*** USC had had an interesting week on the recruiting front. One-time Notre Dame rover target Josh Moore from Atlanta Marist (Kyle Hamilton's high school) was apparently dropped by USC in favor of four-star Kyron Ware-Hudson. USC was recruiting Moore as a wide receiver, but apparently they're still in the market for another, and Titus Mokiao-Atimalala is at the top of the wishlist. Speaking of Mokiao-Atimalala, he plans to announce his top six schools list tomorrow, and it's likely that Notre Dame makes the cut. He also posted on his Twitter page today that he will skip the early signing period and sign in February, which is no surprise considering he told me that would be the case last month. My sources on the ND side of things feel very pessimistic about winning this recruitment. I expect TMA to stay out west.
*** Los Gatos (Calif.) High defensive and and class of 2021 Notre Dame commit Will Schweitzer tells me that he will be enrolling early at Notre Dame. He was previously on the fence about it before as he weighed playing his senior season versus enrolling early. But he's locked in to get to Notre Dame in February.
*** As far as Blake Fisher is concerned, I truly do not know why he removed Notre Dame affiliation from his social media bios which created the Irish fandom to lose its minds for a couple of hours. Maybe it was nothing; maybe it was something. But I've heard from several people, including one source on the Notre Dame side, who told me that Fisher will sign with Notre Dame in December and enroll early. So I think we can just put that whole thing to bed.
