i tried to watch and its just too cheesey for me, the way they talk to the recruits is kinda embarrassing (check Parker's vid) for grown men. I dunno, it's just a bit funny


Most of it is. I mute it during the Joe Schmidt interviews. I have extreme JS fatigue.

Maybe on the filed, but you can see why a coach would want to be around him compared to a lot of 18-22 year olds.

Yeah it's a little cheesy, but I don't mind it honestly. It's good to see coaches not just being machines all the time and being able to talk and joke around with the players causally.

Joe just asked BK what his spirit animal and BK said "i don't know what that is.." This is just cringey

I think the most pleasant suprises are going to be the two little bros.

I think a lot of people just assumed that they were smaller versions of their big brothers, but both are pretty impressive on film and can really more.

Julian reminds me of a more fluid Prince Shembo, and Jamir looks like a legit LB.

A pretty good sign of how committed and invested BK is in the program

Ben Davis is scheduled for 10:10am on ESPNU, for those of you that might or might not have your hopes up for a shocker.

What's harder on the shoulders, fighting off OL and grabbing RBs as their running by, or plugging holes and hitting RBs with a head of steam?

I don't mind the idea of a "60 second blitz," but they needed an adult to come up with the questions. Disney princess? Spirit animal? Talk about a different universe. And the last question should be, as it is for the players: "What's your favorite place on campus?" Don't know how they could have messed that up.

Texas just landed two big time recruits in the last 15 min: DT Chris Daniels and S Brandon Jones. That makes 5 ESPN 300 commits in the past 24 hours for Strong and Co.

It's a sad thing that "academics" are being used as a negative pitch against ND.

And Religion.

I wonder what are they saying? That it's Catholic specifically? Of course, most players here are not Catholic. As opposed to what, anyway? Vaguely Protestant, i.e. Clemson?

We aren't recruiting ACLU lawyers. I don't think a school being "too religious" in a generic sense is a turn off to very many football recruits.
