Welcome to Irish Illustrated Insider, brought to you by the Black Tux.

It's Tim and Tim today, Tim Preezer, with Tim O'Malley.

It is February 14th, Valentine's Day.

Happy Valentine's Day to everybody.

Nordim got a verbal commitment on Wednesday, the fifth of the class of 2020,

Aden Kea Ana. It's going to be difficult for us to pronounce that. Eventually we'll get there,

but... Yeah, it's not Neumato Lolo. That one comes off real easily. But Aden Kia Ana Ina is a nose tackle. I like him. I don't think that he's necessarily a big playmaker for Notre Dame on that defensive line and nose tackle.

He's got to add some size. He just turned 17 years old. But everybody loves him. He's got a great motor. He's got good lower body strength.

He's going to hold the point of attack. I know a lot of times good lower body strength. He's going to hold the point of attack.

I know a lot of times people think when they hear he's going to hold the point of attack like that's a negative.

It's not.

It's not. I mean, first and foremost, that's the number one priority.

And he'll be able to do that, especially as he's just growing into his body.

And so he's number five for the class of 2020.

Yeah, if he were coming in this year as a freshman, instead, he'd be a guy.

You'd think, well, they're going to have to get him out there because there's that lack of depth.

It would be nice to have that body on the field this spring, or at least this fall.

And, yeah, it's a guy that'll help. You know, Notre Dame, the reason they're in, it's not dire straits, but the reason they lack some depth inside is they had a recruiting miss in Ewell.

Franklin was seriously injured.

And then, and kind of bad luck, Hunter Spears is getting injured.

I mean, you don't want to rely on the incoming freshman.

That was late in the year, too.
