Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, Notre Dame football fans, wherever you are, however

you may be tuning into this week's Notre Dame football show.

I'm Mike Singer with me, Eric Hanson.

Thank you for joining us.

If you're watching live, watch it back, listen to this as a podcast, whatever the case may be.

Thank you very much for making us a part of your day.

You know, Eric, do you remember about a month ago we did a show and the headline was,

is it time to panic about Notre Dame recruiting?

And I did that headline as a question.

And anytime you put a question as a headline, people get upset with you for asking the question.

Some people are like, what do you mean, Mike?

It's not time to panic.

But the only reason I posed that question for us to discuss was because a lot of people were panicking in the Notre Dame community.

And here we are, Eric.

It is now the headline is the fighting out fighting Irish recruiting is on fire at all caps.

Without a question mark.

Without a question mark.

And we're going to talk about some Chicago recruits, you know,

either who have already trended to Notre Dame committed

or, you know, some guys who the Irish are in some strong position with.

Folks, excuse me.

Eric and I just were talking before we went live that Eric asked me how I'm doing.
