Brian, the theme for today's show here on the Irish Breakdown podcast brought to you by our friends over at Fanduil is recruiting.

And what we want to do now is we want to kind of talk about like a state of the union almost, like where things stand for Notre Dame on the 2027 recruiting trail.

Obviously they're coming off of having the number one recruiting class in the country according to On three in the 2026 cycle. And like we've talked about so far through this spring, they're really starting to look apart. And we still have yet to see Ian Primer and Kari Adams and Javian Osborne, and the list goes on and on. But now the goal is like any, you know, your shirt says it, to close any gap and to continue being gap closures,

it's you have to start stacking classes.

And so we wanted to kind of give a brief overview of where Notre Dame kind of stands right now

along the recruiting trail.

And it's, it's an interesting discussion.

It is.

And look, when you look at this 2027 recruiting class, you know, how are you going to finish? It is. And look, when you look at this 2027 recruiting class, how are you going to finish is going to tell us a lot about what this class ultimately will be.

You know, right now this is a class that is going to rank, you know, anywhere from 7 to 10.

Right now, I'm actually looking to see where they rank now with this commitment now done,

just trying to see where they've moved up in the rankings.

So, yeah, they're number eight at 247 sports.

A lot of teams, you know, they're 11 commitments.

One of them is a snapper, so really they're at 10 commitments.

And there's teams ahead of them.

A&M's got 13.

USC has 11.

Penn State's got 14.

Ohio State has 11.

Oregon has 11.

Kentucky has 13.
