‘24 MI DL Brandon Davis-Swain (Colorado Verbal)

[Sea Turtle]

Is Michigan giving up front money now? I thought they were like ND and refusing to do that. That's what the program and the fans have been complaining about, anyway.

If they and OSU are doing it now, then that's going to be problematic for ND, to say the least.

 

[Irishdrunk]

When is there going to be expose with dollar amounts and real case studies?

I am dying over here for just some of the truth.

Perfect storm for ND is both USC and UM being good. A disaster would be Midwest powers throwing upfront bags around. A death sentence would be ND riding on their morals.

Perfect storm was ND losing two dumbass games while Harbaugh makes CFP Playoffs and USC has resurgence and NIL is ever present.

Love Freeman but learning on the job is going to take its toll.

They'll be ok as long as they can still get Justin Scott. I will say the two brothers Singer put a pick to ND for are mediocre. Al Washington needs to get better at recruiting. The best DL in this class was an Elston recruit.

Fuck this NIL error, I’ve got better things to do.

Like what? A little face painting?

Seems like Scott is a long shot at this point

The two brothers are both elite high 4 star recruits

One is elite, the other is a tag along. Regardless, not as good as Justin Scott or Elijah Rushing.

That's unacceptable. Washington was a bad hire, ND should never take OSU's leftovers.

I'll take that but let's say, 20% percent better?

The twins that are good players, but not dominant in anyway.

It's not going anywhere. If the kid qualifies academically, pay him. They have more $ than anyone not named Texas, Texas A&M, or Oregon.

it was said on an IB podcast that according to Brandon's dad they like going to watch other teams play even though he is solid to our irish. i guess it pisses his dad off that writers from other schools make it a big deal when he and his son go to watch other teams play from what Ryan and Shaun were saying recently on a recent IB podcast

Aged well.

 

[stlnd01]

I kind of got being cautious with NIL in the ‘23 cycle (even if it cost us Dante and probably Keeley and various others who never gave ND more than a quick look after the spring when programs like Bama and Ohio State and USC started writing checks). One class, you can live with.

But if we don’t figure this out now we’re going to get our lunch eaten in ‘24 and going forward. I’m not sure what the problem is.

Jerod Smith is an 85 on ESPN number 62 with offers from Bama king
Jacob Smith is an 86 ranked 36th overall that’s considered elite please lay off the crack pipe

OSU wanted to keep Washington, LJ just won’t retire yet. They wanted him to be DL Coach after LJ left or even assistant DL coach in the meantime. Washington is above being an assistant DL Coach.

As of this past year, their NIL program was even worse than ND’s. The year before they promised Amorion Walker six figures and then just stiffed him on it because they didn’t even have a “collective” set up. Thought that was pretty funny.

Is he? Because he's not recruiting like it. Vernon is an Elston recruit and it sounds like they're losing on Scott and Rushing. Plus, Waffle isn't anything special.

This is ridiculous.

Not everyone decommits because of NIL. Mutual parting of ways.

It’s not ridiculous, they play vs New England prep schools, sorry if I don’t buy the hype.

I legitimately don’t know who that is. I’m sure the mods could pull up my IP address to verify that.

 

[ColinKSU]

Extremely happy he did it now. He was never coming to ND, and I don’t have the energy to put up with one of these recruitments for another year until he left a week before signing day.

where are you reading this because i haven't heard anything other than we have a good shot at getting him but then again the info i've heard was a few months ago though

Every thread I look in, your posts are pretty much ragging on about something. Is the program doing anything right?

The hot chocolate they serve in the stadium during late season home games is pretty legit
