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

I'm Tim Priester with Tim O'Malley from Irish Illustrated, and we are joined as usual by Pete

Nothing breaking right at this moment as it relates to Nordame football, Norning Recruiting,

that we have on, Iversilustrated.

And man, if you look at that list of defensive ends,

the Nordame is pursuing, there's

This is a direct relation to a question later on.

Those are the positions you have to pursue when you are pursuing a playoff as well.

And then some of the best news was to see Logan Thomas appear in a Tomloy crystal ball.

That's always a good sign.

And then the next key is not only that crystal ball coming to fruition, but lasting for eight months is the number one thing nowadays.

But edge rusher, I feel Notre Dame suddenly got talent rich at running back, but you see how quickly that goes away with the transfer portal with Logan Biggs leaving, whether you get an injury to Giudarian Price and Adric Estime with a good year, we'll go pro.

Edge rusher is the other premium to put in there along along with defensive tackle yeah to be defensive end and

wide receiver you got like those are two positions that in college football 2023 and really

going back to 2018 and every year since.
