Here are today\u2019s Lucky Charms, a Monday-Thursday insider notes article on Notre Dame football recruiting.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t get me wrong, four-star safety Ivan Taylor<\/a><\/strong> decommitting from Notre Dam is a big loss for the Irish, but it\u2019s not too bad because of what ND has committed in the secondary already. However, when it comes to where things stand with receiver recruiting, Notre Dame doesn\u2019t have the same luxury. It has a couple commits already in Elijah Burress<\/a><\/strong> and Jerome Bettis Jr.<\/a><\/strong>, but the staff needs to close strong with a couple big-time receivers.<\/p>\n Las Vegas Bishop Gorman\u2019s Derek Meadows<\/a><\/strong> has been the top of the board target for the Irish for quite some time, and the feeling has been that it\u2019s a tight battle between Notre Dame and Alabama coming out of his official visits. LSU still feels it\u2019s in the running as well. Multiple Irish sources felt really good about Meadows a couple weeks ago, but that optimism has faded a bit. <\/p>\n Notre Dame doesn\u2019t have a strong feel on where Meadows is leaning, but in checking in with Alabama sources, they don\u2019t really know either. If I were a betting man, I\u2019d project Meadows to end up at Alabama, which is me singing a new tune from what I\u2019ve felt in previous weeks and months. If he does go there, it would be a case of the Crimson Tide winning the battle but not the war. <\/p>\n Shifting to La Verne (Calif.) Bonita\u2019s Dylan Robinson<\/a><\/strong>, I\u2019m liking where the Irish are at in his recruitment. He is close to making a final decision privately, and he will announce his pledge July 18. He hasn\u2019t posted anything about his finalists yet, but I feel pretty confident in saying that it\u2019s Notre Dame, Washington and UCLA. His communication with Notre Dame has been really good of late, which is a positive sign. One interesting factor is what side of the ball he prefers to play in college, as Notre Dame likes him at receiver, while the other two are after him as a defensive back.<\/p>\n Again, I like Notre Dame here \u2014 not with a ton of confidence though.<\/p>\n And then with Houston Dekaney\u2019s Tanook Hines<\/a><\/strong>, your guess is as good as mine. I felt like Notre Dame had a slight lead for a while, and some sources were buzzing coming off his official visit. But since then, no one I\u2019ve talked to \u2014 whether it\u2019s sources in South Bend or elsewhere \u2014 has had a good feel on what Hines will end up doing. But I\u2019m starting to feel more confident that Hines won\u2019t end up at Notre Dame. <\/p>\n Could that be wrong and he commits to the Irish next Monday? It could be; I\u2019m having a hard time figuring out what the young man is going to do. But I think USC is in better shape, and Texas is turning up the heat for Hines.<\/p>\n If Notre Dame does land just Robinson of this trio, then I would expect the Irish staff to go into the season to try to find a fourth receiver. We\u2019ll see where things go from here. I can\u2019t rule any scenario out when it comes to these three and where they\u2019ll land.<\/p>\n The post Lucky Charms: Latest on where Notre Dame\u2019s 2025 wide receiver board stands<\/a> appeared first on On3<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here are today\u2019s Lucky Charms, a Monday-Thursday insider notes article on Notre Dame football recruiting….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-59862","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59862","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59862"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59862\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":59895,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59862\/revisions\/59895"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59862"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59862"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59862"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
