It won't have the same ring to it as next week's Irish Invasion, but Wednesday is shaping up to be an important recruiting day for Notre Dame.
The Irish are expected to host four 4-star prospects, and if things go as planned, a fourth high-profile recruit could make his way to campus by Thursday.
Here's who we confirm that will be in South Bend…
Wednesday
4-star OT Parker Boudreaux - offer.
4-star DE Xavier Kelly - offer.
4-star DB Donte' Vaughn
4-star RB Cordarrian Richardson - 2017.
3-star DT Michael Perry
3-star WR Kerrick Jones
2-star LB Justin Swift
NR CB Rodney Saulsberry Jr.
Thursday
4-star TE Luke Farrell - offer.
3-star DB Andrew Pryts - offer.
The two obvious headliners in this group are the two prospects with offers, and that's Wichita (Kas.) East defensive end Xavier Kelly and Orlando (Fla.) Bishop Moore offensive tackle Parker Boudreaux.
Kelly, who recently checked into the Rivals250 as the No. 150 prospect in the country, has visited a number of schools the past few weeks, but he has always wanted to see Notre Dame up close and in person. He'll be joined on the trip by his father and the two are expected to get plenty of one-on-one time with the Irish coaching staff.
The same can be said at Boudreaux, who is expected to make a decision sometime this summer. The No. 25 offensive tackle in the land, has already seen both Clemson and Oklahoma, but he's bringing his entire family with him to South Bend. Notre Dame would like to sign four offensive linemen this cycle, making him a clear-cut priority on the interior for line coach Harry Hiestand.
Safety is a position of need in the class and Memphis (Tenn.) Whitehaven defensive back Donte' Vaughn, who is ranked as the No. 250 overall prospect in the country, is a name to know. The Irish were at his school twice during the spring evaluation period and have kept contact with Vaughn. He doesn't hold a scholarship offer, but is certainly an offer candidate.
There aren't many other Notre Dame targets in Vaughn's group, but the one standout is rising junior running back Cordarrian Richardson. The Memphis Trezevant product holds offers from Alabama, Florida State, Georgia, Auburn and Tennessee.
Stay locked into this thread for updates throughout the week.
