What is going on Notre Dame football fans?

It is so good to be back on the Notre Dame recruiting update show.

I'm Mike Singer with me as my partner in crime.

Kyle Kelly can't speak today.

Looking forward to talking about Notre Dame football recruiting.

It is the time to really get back into the swing of things Irish fans

when it comes to following Notre Dame recruiting because it is about to get very hot for the

Irish in the 27 class. Kyle, it's good to see you, my friend. How are you doing? Yeah, it's been a while.

You were on vacation. I was on vacation. I mean, neither of us were really on vacation. We just

took some time off after that busy transfer portal window in January.

Then we had our recruiting magazine in February. And I know that we spent a lot of time and energy on both those subjects.

But boy, yeah, we needed to recharge because what Notre Dame has planned for us in March and April, not more so us, but with the recruits, we cover it. And they're going to keep us extremely busy. Yeah, I got the picture of Joey O'Brien right here. I know Kyle. Kyle likes to think of himself as a photographer. I'm sure he's a little bit jealous that I got the cover shot. But it's a good teacher. furthest thing from a photographer I said you like to thank you're a photographer I just just giving you hard time but I think the the picture ended up the magazine was great sly fox good to see you in the chat all right so yeah like I said tons of recruits to talk about Kyle just had a five-star scoop well I don't even think we're going to get to that in today's show. They find that at blue and gold.com. But we're going to start off the show by bringing in Alan True, a national writer, Matt Rivals. Just joined from 24-7 Sports. And Kyle, I know you're excited about it. I'm super pumped to work with Alan as well. So let's go ahead and bring Alan in.

Alan, how's it going, my new friend?

Good, guys.

Already feels like, no pun intended, old hat after five days here.

So it's good.

Just five days in.

So, yeah, you're based in the state of Michigan. You've the midwest for as long as i've been in the business um i mean you're you're probably 15 20 years in if not longer

yeah 20 20 so yeah i think i'm i'm at 13 next week i've hit 13 years so um yeah you you've got your polls down on top prospects in the Midwest, which, of course,

has many Notre Dame targets.

So I've got five guys to talk about with you and Kyle, feel free to jump in at any point.

But got to start with the big one, Braden Parks from Chicago Brother Rice, four-star prospect.
