Notre Dame’s Running Back Recruiting Strategy Could End Up Haunting Them

Notre Dame went all-in on their recruitment of Will Shipley, unlike any recruitment we have ever seen from the Brian Kelly coaching regime. Part of their approach was to almost wholly back off all other backs and sell Shipley on the fact that he was the only back on their board. The rewards for all of that? Shipley still spurred the Irish last week and selected Clemson and joined a stable of elite running backs in Death Valley. Now Notre Dame is left to pick up the pieces. Something they might not be able to do for the class of 2021.
