    Ep. 9: 2022 Recruiting, Marcus Freeman praise, and surprises

    Nick and Nathan are back to discuss the latest happenings in Notre Dame football recruiting as some key cogs in the 2022 cycle have given their verbal commitments in recent weeks.

    What did Notre Dame get in a few of the commitments and where are they at quarterback-wise in the years to come compared to the truly elites?

    The guys also get into a conversation about Marcus Freeman's instant impact and how grand of a job he's done at Notre Dame despite not yet calling a defense there.  Could he be a one-and-done and if he was would that necessarily be a bad thing?

    Nick and Nate also touch on some other Notre Dame athletics that are in the news as they try and convince themselves 2022 will mean a return to the NCAA Tournament for Mike Brey, and how another coach on campus might be getting too big for Notre Dame quickly...
