I don't believe the rumor that Freeman interviewed for the A&M job, but I believe the rumor with Stuckey smoking week with the WR's.

I think Freeman truly wants to be at ND and ND/Freeman did the right thing by getting rid of Stuckey; don't mess up this team culture.

People grasping at straws here. Just wait until real info comes out. It usually does.

Except Davonte...
Do the newbies know about Davonte....may not be a good mix with the current news, some might get really confused.

The real info will come out sooner than later.

The ND beat will make a passing comment about it on a podcast years from now when Marcus leaves that makes it clear they knew what happened and couldn’t believe it but they won’t let us in on it.

They are going portal shopping and focusing they're approach on that. Perfect for Kelly. No use wasting his time recruiting kids that will prolly end up not playing for you. Let's him spend his next few weeks golfing instead of recruiting

But I thought he could get a class of 5* just by driving his Tesla around Louisiana 😂
He needs a Boss Hog style Cadillac. Maybe some gator skin boots as well and a Bowie knife on his hip.

FWIW - LSU fans not particularly happy about bringing in this class next year:


#14 with a low 90s avg recruit rating. Essentially a Kelly ND class
It's their lowest ranked class (on 247) since 2018. No five-stars, no quarterback. Maybe Kelly's figuring he'll find QBs in the portal, but yeah if I'm accustomed to Top 5 classes and I see this, I wouldn't be impressed either.

Classic Kelly. The criticism that he's a lazy recruiter is demonstrated clearly by this class; I know Louisiana kids want to go to LSU, but he seems content getting the four star prospects in that state to come to Baton Rouge.

It's also astounding to me that LSU effectively doesn't recruit Florida anymore. They used to steal the top defensive backs from FL year after year; I think the only guy in the class is a QB who's no where close to the top 25 players in the Sunshine State. Just incredible.

I had to double check but Bryce Underwood is CB'd to LSU and is scheduled to announce Jan 6th.

LOL. I’d be impressed if there were enough ‘super chargers’ in rural Louisiana to keep a Tesla charged on long trips

These things should be making everyone wonder if it was a good / bad idea to hire a 35 year old with no head coaching experience:

1) Rees leaving after 1 year

2) Balis resigning (and not for another job) after 1 year

3) Keeping Parker after this season's mess

4) Whatever happened with Stucky

5) QB decisions of 2022

I still believe in Freeman. His recruiting is starting to stack talent on talent, something the previous regime failed to do for certain positions. Yeah his in game coaching needs work, but there is not 1 game so far in his tenure that you can say we didn't belong. Have patience, he will deliver.

After watching the games today, I just can’t believe how bad ND (and MF) fucked up this OC hire. If you swap Porker for a top ten OC then this is a clear playoff team and likely a natty favorite. This was the year.
