It is done.

Good of him to acknowledge and apologize for yesterday

In the end, the Top 5 each is the last two years hasn’t changed at all. The three most successful teams, someone who decides this is the year in NIL and hope eternal Texas. ND isn’t landing a Top 5 class anytime soon. The question is only if Freeman can keep us in 6 - 10 consistently, which BK couldn’t and MOST teams cannot stay there consistently. Have you heard much about Clemson this year in recruiting? Besides Vizzina and Hanafin overlap? Not really. But there they are at 11 and 10 last year. Their bad years still land them around 10 in recruiting because of Dabo. BKs bad years were much lower. Freeman is closer to Dabo than BK. As it’s been, Clemson has to be the model. Clemson recruits a base roster of talent at a high level, maintains high culture (and as a result retains talent) and the QB gets them in, or in this case keeps them out of the CFP.

Then there’s just the menial task of stacking generational QBs back to back to back and you have yourself a championship caliber roster.

Part of me wants to sink into a ND Football depression & accept that after the next few years (because our current roster & incoming class are strong) we likely won’t sniff a top 5 class & may even struggle with 10 as more schools decide to bend the rules.

The other part of me is hopeful it will get so scandalous that someone will be forced to step in & control it., 🤷‍♂️

And a tiny part of me wants ND to flex their endowment & buy top 3 classes every year but I know that’s a pipe dream.

 

[NDIrish1988]

Found the cuck. Welcome back loser. Seems you won’t be here long. I look forward to ignoring your shit takes.

Yeah, it’s a shit take to want a 5* Safety starting instead of Ramon Henderson. You’re a moron.

 

[IrishLion]

HOT TAKE:

That statement was cool. Someone smart gave him some solid PR/Crisis Management advice.

Good luck/good riddance/etc.

Fuck that, the Administration needs to play ball. Clemson from 2018 is the model, but not modern Clemson, they’re on the decline.

"Respect my decision"

But which one(s)?

 

[NDIrish1988]

We are free.

*queue the Gladiator meadow music*

Yes, free to watch more terrible play at Safety. Hooray. Can’t wait to watch Henderson miss more tackles and blow his coverage assignments

 

[jprue24]

Yeah, I'm not sure the recruiting world is the same as it was in 2018

 

[Dale]

UA All American Game. Love is on one team, Bowen is on the other. We need Mr. Love to stiff arm him into the ground or break his ankles.

 

[T Town Tommy]

Good to see Bowen acknowledge his mistakes from yesterday. Hope he does well and then I hope J. Haynes bulldozes his as* in a couple years when he makes it to the SEC.

The Clemson model of paying Kids underneath the table with a Christian megachurch

It was the best statement he probably could have crafted in an awful situation he is directly responsible for.

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

Good. Fuck off.

 

[stlnd01]

That was a classy and mature statement all around, really.

It's too bad, but some kids are more comfortable closer to home. he probably would've been at Oklahoma in the end regardless. I just hope Lanning chokes on his stupid cigar.

 

[NormND_44]

I think this was going to happen if he signed with ND as well - could have taken a day, could have taken a year. He was always going to be at OU. Good luck to him, Keeley stung way worse imo, this was just weird AF

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Of course not. Back then, If you talked back to mommy or daddy you got the belt. Today you touch your kid you go to jail.
Kids know what they can get away with.

Not my kids. I’ve already offered to drop them off to the group home if they choose that over the punishment.

 

[NDIrish1988]

Good. Fuck off.

Yeah, who needs a safety that’s actually good? Ramon Henderson is just fine being terrible the way he is.

 

[IrishSteelhead]

At what point does freeman take on Kelly’s approach to recruiting? He wasted a lot of time on Bowen. Just target the right guys.

Never, unless he decides to have a career arc where he adds a Dukes Mayo Bowl trophy next to BK’s Citrus, Pinstripe, Camping World, Music City, and Sun Bowl one to complete the look.

TTT I would just rather him not mention ND ever again. To many parents are trying to be their kid’s friends instead raising them.

We have embarrassed our parents in some way or another but I highly doubt any of us were that disrespectful.

You know what’s really embarrassing? ND’s Safeties.

Or maybe the Admin should stop being morons?

Can we ban this guy yet?

IDC. Cant count on a kid like that ever. Certainly couldnt count on him staying even if he signed

 

[GATTACA!]

Come on man. This is bordering on spam now and you don’t need to shit on ND players to make your point.

 

[T Town Tommy]

Oregon is buying fans... you should consider your commitment.

 

[Dale]

The board as a whole should get one ban per decommit. All in favor for NDIrish1988?

Legitimate question, does anyone besides the mods value him being here?
