HELLO 5-STAR OFFENSIVE LINEMAN

For all of the fun we have with skill position players that are rated as a high 4-Star or 5-Star player, it seems a little odd that more highly ranked offensive lineman aren’t flocking to Notre Dame. And then I remember… that’s actually not true at all. Notre Dame consistently recruits good to elite offensive linemen every year, and the 2027 cycle appears to be no different. 5-Star OL Oluwasemilore Olubobola from St. Peter’s Prep in New Jersey, is set to announce his commitment tomorrow — and the predictions are all in Notre Dame’s favor here. Good for us.

THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF DEBACLE

It’s hard to know where to begin with all of this as we continue to talk about playoff expansion as part of the yearly offseason ritual. I offer this dichotomy of sorts. Andy and Ari are known flip-floppers and are also silver-tongued enough to make it sound as if they aren’t. And yet… they consistently promoted conference realignment for the cause of “more better games” and when that concept failed, as conferences screwed around with their own schedules to give easier paths to some while another handful of schools made sure their out of conference games were cupcakes — it all gave way to the notion that the CFP should expand. And now they’re aghast at what may come? Welcome to the consequences of actions.
