Numbers
Currently, Notre Dame only has 82 scholarship players, which is 3 below the maximum amount. Next year, Notre Dame has 13 players who will have exhausted their eligibility after this year. Notre Dame will have 8 players who after eligible for a 5th-year. Of those 8 players, Cierre Wood, Zack Martin, Chris Watt, Carlo Calabrese and Dan Fox are likely to be invited back. Therefore, Notre Dame will take around 19 players. This number could obviously expand if Notre Dame decided not to grant a 5th-year, a player would become medically ineligible or would opt to go to the NFL.
Positions of Need
Notre Dame's positions of need next year are Wide Receiver, Tight End, Offensive Line, Defensive Line, Linebacker, Cornerback and Safety. Notre Dame would be expected to take some where near the following numbers:
- Wide Receiver: 3 recruits
- Tight End: 2 recruits
- Offensive Line: 4 recruits
- Defensive Line: 4 recruits
- Linebacker: 4 recruits
- Cornerback: 1 recruit
- Safety: 1 recruit
As Signing Day closes to an end, Notre Dame will now move to "Junior Days" and hosting for the Blue-Gold game. Stay tuned for more updates about who Notre Dame will target in 2013.
