Notre Dame has landed 14 commits in the 2020 class and that group currently ranks No. 7 nationally in points and No. 6 in average star ranking. The class is loaded on offense and with two defensive back pick ups in June the Irish are close to being done in 2020.

Notre Dame will likely have a smaller 2020 class from a numbers standpoint, which means the recruits it lands must be impact players. The class is talented already, but having a class that can be put on par with the best teams in the country requires a strong finish.

The Blue & Gold Illustrated staff debates which recruit is most important to finishing off the 2020 class with a bang.

BRYAN DRISKELL, FOOTBALL ANALYST

Xavier Watts: Notre Dame has recruited well on offense since the coaching staff changes following the 2016 season, but the staff really needed to put together an elite haul in the 2020 class. This is especially true at the skill positions, which means landing players with elite upside, top of the board difference maker type recruits.
