Tobias Merriweather

Notre Dame ended up filling the hole left by Devin Moore's decommitment via the transfer portal, but they still are looking to add more receivers to close out their 2022 recruiting class

Wanted to wrap up the All-American Bowl with a few coaching notes.A good chunk of the Irish commits in San Antonio will be playing for new position coaches in South Bend - WR Tobias Merriweather, OL Billy Schrauth, Aamil Wagner and Ashton Craig as well as P Bryce McFerson. I can't really go into too much detail here as the bulk of comments from those around the players were off the record.Overall, the majority of the players - and I say "majority" intentionally - were pretty disappointed to see their coaches depart.For the most part, these players truly believed in the coaches who have left and were looking forward to playing for them. But to a man, they're all convinced ND will hire somebody just as good or better than the previous coach, which I think says plenty about the faith they all have in Marcus Freeman.I do think it's also worth reiterating something Mike has mentioned repeatedly before; these kids and their parents and those close to them pay very close attention to what is said on message boards by fans about the coaches.Sometimes it casts the coach in a bad light in the eyes of the prospects and sometimes it casts the fans in a poor light. But they read it all. I was surprised, even the guys who rarely do interviews follow this stuff closely and know what's being said.

A few thoughts for your Sunday.
