Brian Kelly met the media on Wednesday afternoon in a very non-traditional way. That meant for quite a bit of football news. If interested you can hear what Kelly said in his entire 30+ minute press conference held through Zoom. Or you can check out the latest on where things stand with the Navy/Ireland game this August.
Otherwise in football news we saw Cole Kmet get graded the best tight end by another draft outlet. Jeff Feyerer has all of the information on that and offers his thoughts on the good and bad of Kmet as a draft prospect.
Jeff is also looking forward to Saturday night as ND Replay this weekend will feature an epic-finish to cap off the home Notre Dame careers of Mirer, Bettis and Brooks. Jeff speaks for many around my age in saying how important “The Snow Bowl” was in forming a fandom.
In other news, some athletic directors are looking to expand the College Football Playoff and former Notre Dame star Jaylon Smith drew praise for his high school days as he was named a top-100 recruit of the last decade.
And finally – Geoffrey Clark has started a fun way in determining the best Mike Brey coached team of the last 15 years in basketball. He’s using a simulation system to run his tournament and he began profiling the 15 teams in it Wednesday. Follow everything related to that simulated tournament here over the next couple weeks.
