S2E40: Despite Signing Day Drama, Notre Dame Hauls in Impact Class From Top to Bottom
Signing Day did not go exactly as planned for Notre Dame. Neither did the day after NSD, with Peyton Bowen spurring the Irish on Wednesday and then ultimately signing with Oklahoma on Thursday. Even with the loss of its lone 5-star recruit, however, Notre Dame landed an impact class Notre Dame fans should be excited about. Frank and Greg talk about the class and more.
- Favorite offensive and defensive players
- Should Marcus Freeman change his approach after losing three 5-star commits/silent commits
- The Peyton Bowen saga
- Chansi Stuckey being a boss on the recruiting trail
- Notre Dame landing two Kaleb Smiths
- Drayk Bowen, future Notre Dame captain giving Greg Manti Te’o vibes.
- Q&A
This week’s beer was Full Stack from Singlecut Brewery since Notre Dame landed a fully stacked class this week.

One Bowen is plenty…..if nothing else, he sure is lower maintenace.
Other dude is an early contender for the 2023 “Mariah Carey Award”…. immature, self-absorbed drama queen.
…maybe Marcus forgot about the blue M&Ms.
