Evaluating Evaluations, McIntosh Making Noise, Key Recruiting Updates & More

Check out this week’s ISD Intel, our look behind the scenes of Notre Dame Football and Irish recruiting efforts.

This week, we take a close look at how the Irish have evaluated their evaluations of recruits off the field and how that impacts the players Notre Dame goes hardest after.

We were able to get Notre Dame assistant coach Autry Denson’s take on the strategy as well.

Josh Adams is proven, Dexter Williams has shown flashes and Tony Jones Jr. is getting the most buzz these days, but find out why you shouldn’t be counting Deon McIntosh out as a running back who could be a valuable contributor this fall.

2018 Maryland defensive end Thomas Booker is taking a hard look at Notre Dame and Stanford. Ironically, Notre Dame was a finalist during his father’s recruitment 40 years ago. Hear more about that.

Notre Dame offered 2018 California offensive lineman Chris Murray earlier this month. Mater Dei head coach Bruce Rollinson talks about why he thinks there was a delay by many schools with a prospect he thinks is plenty deserving.

Rollinson also talks about his five-star wide receiver, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and how St. Brown raises the level of competition throughout the team.

And a top 2019 defensive target has plans to get back to Notre Dame next month. Find out who and much more in this week’s ISD Intel.
