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

We have a special one today.

We're talking all recruiting, and it's myself, Tim Priester, with Kevin Sinclair from

Irish Illustrated, joined by a special guest, Tom Lloyd, from 24-7 sports.

And guys, we got a lot to talk about.

We can talk about just about anything with these recruits in it.

I think our listeners will find it interesting to get some insight,

especially from you, Tom, who is always on the front lines with this stuff.

But Notre Dame, where do they rank?

10th, 11th? Somewhere.

Yeah, 8, 24-7 sports, yeah.

Okay, 8-24-7 sports. And that seems about right. I think the top half of this class is really,

really good. I like it. I think we get into quite a few projects in the second half.

But Tom, Loy, let's start with you

what what do you like about this class in particular i mean i've said it for a very long time i really

do think this might be the best class um since i've been here since i've been covering Notre Dame it is

absolutely loaded um i think that our guys that are ranking the class,

Andrew Evans, Cooper Patagon, those guys 24-7, I think they do a phenomenal job. If you guys saw

in the weeds what they do to get to where they are when it comes to the rankings, like,

it's incredible. And, but man, Hinkston, Billy Amuasa is an incredible talent. He was number one for me when we ranked our class at Irish Illustrated.

And I don't think it was close.

I really, I didn't really struggle with that.
