Good morning! It was a busy day on campus Friday, as the Notre Dame coaching staff hosted about 80 high school prospects from around North America (yes, even Canada!) for its “Irish Invasion.”

The event produced two new commitments, and a lot of good feedback. In addition, check out Lisa’s interview with former Irish QB Evan Sharpley. It’s an in-depth look at what Evan’s been up to after earning his Notre Dame degree.
