Notre Dame Football: Fallout from the Will Shipley recruitment

Notre Dame lost out recruiting Will Shipley. This means one thing on the field but is indicative of a larger issue for the Irish overall.

By now, it’s not new news. The 5-star running back from North Carolina, Will Shipley, chose Clemson over Notre Dame. More than just losing out on a major prospect, the weight of this decision means more than just moving onto the next running back to recruit for Notre Dame.

This decision from Shipley makes sense. Clemson has been one of the two best college football programs in the past decade.
