In this OFF THE RAILS episode, we take a look at the 2020 recruiting class for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, and the almost complete lack of options moving forward. The Irish are at 17 commitments, and we think 20 is the number they are targeting — but where are those other 3 going to come from? Is it important, or is this something that the Irish roster is currently built to withstand?

Here are the 2020 commitment list and the 2020 Scholarship Chart in case you need some visuals as we go through this a bit.
