You don't expect this team to get a lot of four-stars, but for the second consecutive year, they have an emerging class of recruits.
Four-star defensive end Joshua Paschal (6-foot-4, 255 pounds, Olney, Md.) made a recent visit to Notre Dame, but it looks like he figured that South Bend wasn't the place for him. Instead, Paschal will be heading to Kentucky, per 247Sports.

Paschal is the 18th commitment for Kentucky's 2017 recruiting class, which ranks a solid 27th overall in 247Sports' recruiting rankings. Of course, Kentucky still ranks 11th in the SEC in recruiting, ahead of only Missouri, Ole Miss, and Vanderbilt.
Paschal also had offers from Alabama, Oklahoma, and Clemson, among others.
