Welcome to another edition of Irish Illustrated Insider.

We are talking recruiting today with 24-7 sports Tom Loy.

Tom, we appreciate you joining us here.

It's a huge weekend on the field for Notre Dame.

It doesn't appear that it's quite as big of a weekend

recruiting wise, which I think would probably surprise a few people since it's Clemson.

To what do you attribute that, Tom? I think it's a little bit about Marshall and Stanford.

I think that they've lost a little juice, a little momentum when it comes to, especially the underclassmen. Obviously, we know the 23 class is nearly complete, just about done.

They got a few small pieces here and there. They're trying to finish up with, but really that class is about keeping the guys in the fold.

But I do. I think that they,

and I think that the feeling is, that's the feeling inside the Goug as well. They,

they lost a little momentum and they lost to Marshall. They try to get it back. And then they

drop a tough one to Stanford that they, a game they shouldn't, they shouldn't have lost.

And they haven't looked all that great this season. Everybody knows it.

And I think that that's just kind of hurting them a little bit.

You look at the Georgia, Tennessee.

And I know we're not talking.
