DFZ WAY-TOO-EARLY TOP-25: #25: NOTRE DAME

Day 1 has arrived. #25 is Notre Dame!!

Notre Dame #25

The Fighting Irish are #25 in our rankings. Last year, they were 15-11, losing against UNC 101-59 in the 2nd Round of the ACC Tournament to end the season. There are a couple of reasons why Notre Dame is ranked.

1. Notre Dame has some good players that are probably coming back. (Like Trey Wertz, Cormac Ryan (who scored 'bout 60 against us), and Dane Goodwin.)

2. Notre Dame has 2-4-star recruits. (Don't know what a 4-star recruit is? Click here!!) A 4-star recruit is OUTSTANDING.

DFZ predicts Notre Dame will be 18-12 this year.

Come back tomorrow for #24!

WHAT IS A 4-STAR RECRUIT?

A 4-star recruit is normally players ranked 20-120 in the ESPN 100. A 5-star is 1-20.
