As it is exceedingly unlikely Notre Dame adds any recruits on February’s archaic Signing Day, the class of 2020 can be considered a wrap with its 18 signees. Before delving into a few lingering, broad strokes relative to that group, let’s take a look forward 51 weeks.
The Irish already have seven commits for the class of 2021, all of which are consensus four-star recruits. Obviously there is a long way to go in the cycle, but both Rivals and 247Sports currently consider that grouping to be the No. 1 class in 2021 recruiting. Notre Dame undoubtedly won’t stay that high, but that should nonetheless give an idea of how well the early parts of the cycle have gone.
