Welcome back to Irish Illustrated Insider.

I'm Tim O'Malley, joined today by our reary traveler, Pete Sampson of the Athletic

and the forever onboarding media maven John Bryce of USA Today.

Guys, we have seen a full practice and a snippet of another yesterday.

Before we get to that, there is news in Notre Dame recruiting land.

The Irish signed a very fast running back from Texas.

Lathen Wizzinton, Waco Midway.

And usually, Pete, when someone says very fast in Texas, I can stop right there.

But that is something as an overview for, I know our subscribers.

We're looking at the three-star designation from 24-7,

four-star, and top 300 elsewhere. Fast guy from Texas is always a good place to start.

Yeah, not Jeremiah Love. But like, Jeddari and Price was not this like all-world recruit

coming out of dot, dot, dot, dot, that Texas and that turned out okay and like look

I think for the most part I think fans have kind of adjusted to this like every commitment is

temporary if this doesn't develop if he doesn't develop as a senior then he's moving a different

direction they're going to recruit other running backs but this this, my understanding is like this, he was kind of among their top five, but not their first choice at running back. But they liked them quite a bit. And he liked Notre Dame quite a bit. And you go from there. You know, maybe he's maybe he's a little bit more Nolan James than Judari and Price or Jeremiah I love, but

I like Nolan James. I think the staff likes Nolan James too. And again, we know it's going to be

a two-back class and we're continuing to see Notre Dame kind of recruit two different types of back.

And this is the guy that can be the speedster that you can work out of the back field with

some routes and that you can try to get into space and do some different things in that

regard.

But his offer list tells you that there are a lot of teams around the country.
