Recent Recruiting Posts
We've had a few recent commitments, with the additions of Quenton Nelson, Elijah Hood, Nic Weishar, and Sam Mustipher in recent weeks.
So let's see how this class is doing compared to last years class at the same time. Needs for each year are different. Scholarship numbers change; however, by looking at the quantity and quality of the recruits we can get a better idea of how this class is shaping up.

On Monday Sam Mustipher made himself the 6th member of the 2014 recruiting class. One of the better additions to the class, he's ranked #2 as a Guard in more than one service. With a couple of good looking prospects on both sides of the line of scrimmage, as well as a wide receiver and an inside linebacker; the class is off to a great start. Below is a list of the class members and their positions, with a link to their bios. The bios include ranking in each major ranking services, a little of our own opinion, vitals, and a video link if available.

Well, it's been a bit of a rough ride for the 2012 recruiting class. Last year, Tee Shepard was only on the roster for a few hours. Aaron Lynch departed after the 2011 campaign. Gunner Kiel decided to head elsewhere. And this week, Davonte Neal and Justin Ferguson decided to depart as well.
Attrition has definitely set in. These days, it's an annual expectation. Thankfully, the Notre Dame Football program is healthy enough to handle it.

Last week, we looked at the offensive recruiting plan for the 2014 class. This week, we will look at the defensive side of the ball.
Again this will be a slim class as most projections have the scholarship number at about fourteen about fourteen scholarships available. With this in mind, even though Notre Dame has offered nearly everyone in the top 50, we have only listed the "Top Targets" below as those believed to have the most interest in Notre Dame.

Aah, the world of college football recruiting. A never ending process. The 2013 class is signed and looks primed to fill the gaps and make an instant impact. We also already have four commitments to the 2014 class: Greer Martini, Jay Hayes, Justin Brent, and Jimmy Byrne.
Let's take a look at each offensive position group to try to gauge what we need and who our top targets currently are. Given our last few recruiting classes were near full, (barring transfers or early departure for the pros) I'd say around 14 spots will be left for the rest of the class. This is a good problem to have, one we haven't had in ages. Top targets listed here are the targets believed to be the most "gettable", targets that have interest in ND and an offer from ND.
