Notre Dame football continues its hot recruiting, landing 2026 Ohio 4-star linebacker
Notre Dame football is coming off a very successful month of recruiting in April, and they are looking like there is nothing that is going to stop them in May.
To start off the Irish's weekend the right way, they received a commitment from 2026 Ohio linebacker Jakobe Clapper. The 6-foot, 2-inch and 215-pound prospect is ranked as the No. 398 overall prospect according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

Clapper picked Notre Dame over teams like Oregon, Michigan, Louisville and Ohio State. This shouldn't go unnoticed, as the Irish battled multiple regional powers in his recruitment and ultimately won out.
The 2026 class is now up to 13 total commits, and is ranked as the No. 2 overall class in the 247Sports Composite Team Rankings. Head coach Marcus Freeman has used this past seasons momentum on the recruiting trail, and it is paying off big dividends, with Clapper as the most recent success story.

Trump one of 'supportive' voices to back Pete Rose's removal from ineligible list, MLB commish says
Scrutiny increased over Pete Rose's Baseball Hall of Fame eligibility once the former Cincinnati Reds star died last year, as President Donald Trump weighed in with his own thoughts on the issue. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred removed Rose, and several other players, from the ineligible list in May, allowing the possibility of those athletes being voted into the Hall of Fame. He admitted at a news conference owners meeting on Wednesday that Trump's support for Rose was one of the many factors that went into the decision. "The president was one of a number of voices that was supportive of the idea that this was the right decision," Manfred said. "Obviously, I have respect for the office and the advice that he gave I paid attention to, but I had a lot of other people that were weighing in on the topic, as well." Trump wrote on Truth Social in March that he planned to pardon Rose. He and Manfred met in April about Rose's Hall of Fame candidacy. "Major League Baseball didn't have the courage or decency to put the late, great, Pete Rose, also known as 'Charlie Hustle,' into the Baseball Hall of fame. Now he is dead, will never experience the thrill of being selected, even though he was a FAR BETTER PLAYER than most of those who made it, and can only be named posthumously. WHAT A SHAME!" the president wrote. "Anyway, over the next few weeks I will be signing a complete PARDON of Pete Rose, who shouldn't have been gambling on baseball, but only bet on HIS TEAM WINNING. He never betted against himself, or the other team. He had the most hits, by far, in baseball history, and won more games than anyone in sports history. Baseball, which is dying all over the place, should get off its fat, lazy a--, and elect Pete Rose, even though far too late, into the Baseball Hall of Fame!" Rose died last September at the age of 83 from hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The effort to get Rose a plaque in Cooperstown took a step forward on May 13. "This issue has never been formally addressed by Major League Baseball, but an application filed by the family of Pete Rose has made it incumbent upon the Office of the Commissioner to reach a policy decision on this unprecedented issue in the modern era as Mr. Rose is the first person banned after the tenure of Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis to die while still on the ineligible list. Commissioner Manfred has concluded that MLB's policy shall be that permanent ineligibility ends upon the passing of the disciplined individual," the MLB said. Rose admitted to gambling in 2004 after years of claiming his innocence. He died in September and predicted 10 days before his death he would not make the Hall of Fame until after he died, if at all. It was found that Rose gambled on the Reds, only to win, while he was both a manager and a player.

Deliveroo and Manna introduce drone-based food delivery in Ireland
Deliveroo, in collaboration with Manna Drones, has introduced a drone food delivery service in Dublin, Ireland. This service will be available to Deliveroo customers in the Blanchardstown area of the city. Deliveroo is embarking on a test phase to evaluate the drone service in suburban areas. Manna Drones, an Irish company founded in 2019, has previously entered into a collaboration with Just Eat for drone deliveries in Dublin, to broaden the services across other European nations, as reported by Bloomberg. The initial drone delivery service will encompass a three-kilometre radius in the Dublin 15 area, with the option for drone delivery on the app for customers. Anticipated delivery time could be as low as three minutes, and there are plans to extend the service to more restaurants and introduce grocery and retail deliveries before the end of 2025. Set to be launched from Manna's hub in Blanchardstown, the drones reach speeds of up to 80 km/hour. Deliveroo chief business officer Carlo Mocci stated: 'We're excited to explore how drones can help us reach new customers, complementing our existing rider model and if successful, the prospect of expanding drone deliveries across Ireland and into other markets.' Manna has already completed 170,000 flights in Ireland and operates bases in the US state of Texas and in Finland. The company is also looking to expand its operations to the UK and to European Union countries besides Ireland by the end of 2025. Manna is also a member of a UK consortium that includes Wing and Lancashire Fire and Rescue, which is funded by the UK Civil Aviation Authority.

Notre Dame RB Jadarian Price is using the offseason to improve, as this video shows
For any athlete, the off-season is the time to improve on your game, and for Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price, it looks like he's well on his way to doing just that. The rising junior is coming off a season where he had 120 carries for 746 yards and 10 touchdowns, as many would say that constitutes a breakout year. There is no doubt in my mind that Price is just scratching the surface of his ability, and in a video shared by trainer Sean Cooper, it looks like he's on his way for a big 2025 campaign. Advertisement While he will still share carries with Jeremiyah Love, Price is an integral part of the offense, especially considering how much time his counterpart missed last year. Notre Dame's running back room is deep and talented, with many expecting the pair to be the main ball carriers. Aneyas Williams will also get plenty of run, but Love and Price are the workhorses. Expect Price to pick up some of the yardage that Riley Leonard accounted for in 2024, and don't be surprised to see each to the top two Irish backs going over 1,000 yards.
