Welcome to the latest Irish Illustrated Insider Recruiting Extra podcast.

I'm Pete Sampson, joined by Tom Loy and Kevin Sinclair, our two recruiting insiders.

We've got a cool show today.

We're going to talk about Notre Dame's big run in June, the factors that went into that. Also, who might commit to Notre Dame next and run through our five guys. Also, after that, we'll have an interview with Notre Dame's newest commitment, Kieran Williams, three-star running back out of St. Louis, Missouri. I think you'll find that pretty enlightening. He talks a little about getting behind the scenes with Brian Kelly,

his relationship with Autry Denson, and also, if Notre Dame wasn't in the picture, he'd probably

be committing somewhere else this weekend. So he reveals a little bit about that. So stick around

after we wrap up with Kevin and Tom as we get into the latest recruiting extra Irish Illustrated Insider podcast.

Just sort of your big picture view of what you saw in the month of June before we get into talking about the five commitments that Notre Dame picked up.

Yeah, I mean, I don't know if there's really a point to even get into talking about

individual recruits with these elite skills camp, as they call them.

I would probably say, and obviously they extended a couple offers, but this was more about

evaluation.

And I've done camps like this in the past other schools even with notary dame um but i've gone to north carolina i've been at florida state um i've been at usc i've gone through this and i was i can't tell you guys enough i was so impressed by how this Notre Dame coaching staff handled this.

These last couple weeks, there was definitely moments where they could have kind of, you know,

been pretty casual about it and just kind of let these kids come, work out, do one-on-one,
