Welcome back, everybody, to another edition of Irish Illustrated Insider.

It's Thursday, February 8th.

I'm Tim Preester with Tim O'Malley from Irish Illustrated.

We're joined by John Bryce of Football Scoop and Irish Illustrator, and of course, Pete Samson.

From the athletic.

Lots to talk about here in early February.

We're going to talk about some possible coaching movement, some decommitments.

But first, let's talk about the interviews that, and I gave a shout out in today's Thursday

thoughts, not published yet but

i mean nor doane with marcus freeman and the in in in his people his staff that

that brings us all together i mean we're we're almost getting spoiled now what a great opportunity

to meet these early entry freshmen grad transfers, Lauren Lando.

I think it's pretty great.

But let's start there.

And everybody, I think, wants to know on the outside who we were impressed with in the interview situation, in the interview room.

Who impressed you guys?

I wrote about it Monday, Tim, that they should have always been doing this.

You're right.

Credit to Marcus, Ellen Wazelouski, Katie Lonnergan.

Claire, Claire Kramer, for putting them out.

Because they could have been doing this forever.

Notre Dame's freshman were also wonderfully well-spoken and interesting back in 2015 and 2010 and 2005 and a lot of those things.
