Safe Travels (Prospects Visiting Elsewhere 3/1)
Even with only a couple prospects scheduled to be on campus, this could be another impactful recruiting weekend for Notre Dame. The Irish will be hosting top Illinois offensive line target Peter Skoronski along with 2020 Texas wide receiver Will Nixon. But what happens more than 2,000 miles away in Palo Alto could have just as big an impact, if not more, on how multiple recruitments shake out for the Irish as Stanford holds its Junior Day. Several Notre Dame targets are expected to attend including 2020 offensive lineman Andrew Gentry, 2020 wide receiver John Humphreys, 2020 linebacker/running back Kalel Mullings, 2020 offensive lineman Chad Lindberg, 2020 athlete Ben Yurosek and 2021 quarterback Tyler Buchner. Of course, Buchner is fresh off a trip to South Bend and seems like he's getting closer to a decision. This trip could be one of the last boxes for him to check before pulling the trigger. Meanwhile, Gentry has already locked in an official visit to Notre Dame for April. Mullings has already made multiple stops in South Bend while Humphreys was in town a couple months back. The Irish and the Cardinal often find themselves in the mix for the same recruits and there could be some additional clarity coming out of this weekend about which way some prospects may be leaning. Other visits for Notre Dame targets this weekend include the following: 2020 RB Chris Tyree, Alabama2020 DE Cam Large, Wisconsin 2020 WR Xavier Watts, Iowa2020 CB Dontae Manning, Iowa2020 DE Jalen Logan-Redding, Iowa2021 DT Gabriel Rubio, Iowa 2020 CB Jalen Kimber, Texas2020 S Myles Slusher, Texas A&M
Irish Hitting New England
In addition to Tom Rees' stop to see Drew Pyne today, which I reported earlier, I'm told Notre Dame OL Jeff Quinn will be in Eastern Massachusetts tomorrow. I know Quinn will be checking in on LB Kalel Mullings and I have to believe he'll also be checking up on OL Zak Zinter and OL Kevin Pyne as well.
Recruiting: On To 2020
After landing 21 prospects in the Class of 2019 on Wednesday, it would be back to work for the Irish recruiting today for 2020, but they've been at it for a while already. Here's a dozen key targets for Notre Dame in 2020.
