Welcome everybody to Irish Illustrated Insider. It's Thursday, December 17th, and Tim Priester with

Tim O'Malley from Irish Illustrated and Pete Sampson. From the Athletic joins us. It's Notre Dame

Clemson in the ACC Championship on Saturday, 4 o'clock Eastern time in Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte,

Nordame, a 10.5 point underdog, the over-underline has dropped to 60.

I think that's a, that's a trend that, well, we'll see how you guys end up making your predictions

here at the end of segment two.

But we have talked about Clemson and Nordame a lot.

We're going to kind of table that until we get to section,

or I should say segment two,

where we have a bunch of questions about Noradame Clemson,

but Nordham had a signing day yesterday.

And I think it was a good one,

and they're not completely done. Brian Kelly made it clear that they weren't completely done that they intended to sign to running backs within 48 hours of his announcement yesterday. I think it's trending in that direction, as is a potential defensive player on the, at least not for now lined up on the back end of the defense.

Yeah, I thought it was it was a good cycle um you know we have so much data now and brian kelly's recruiting like

highs and lows of it this was i think sort of in it was certainly at the high end of volume but

um was sort of middle of the road in terms of quality of players.

But, you know, it was a good job hitting their needs.

I thought particularly on the offensive line, I thought Caleb Johnson was a really shrewd

fifth pickup there.

I like that one.

You know, I think back-to-back classes at wide receiver was really good.

And then I think they, I guess I would have preferred maybe they signed a defensive end
