Judging by your behavior here the last hour, I’m sure you deserve to get beat up for many things. I get that you’re trolling and think it’s fun, but badmouthing kids that may one day suit up for the team is not the way my man.
Not trolling, this level of recruiting isn’t good enough. Someone has to say something. I’m tired of pretending like Freeman deserves the benefit of the doubt, he doesn’t. He didn’t close last yr and he’s done a poor job this yr

I don't think I've ever seen a truer statement on a message board.

I’d hate to be an employee with you as the boss. You don’t ever seem to be satisfied with anything or anyone. I’m pretty tired of listening to your whiny posts, because that’s all I’m seeing from you.

Am I mixing up players, or am I remembering correctly that there’s a decent chance that he outgrows the safety position?

In the interview above he’s pretty adamant that he’s a S. Obviously that can change but it doesn’t seem like they’ve had that conversation with him.

Brian Urlacher had a crazy growth spurt where he grew significantly in both high school and college.

Will that happen to his son remains to be seen.

That’s absolutely where he’s starting. I just don’t believe that’s where he finishes. Which is kind of part of the problem with safety recruiting at Notre Dame.

I agree. I’m just illustrating that they have not had those conversations with Kennedy to this point.

Right. Realistically, he won’t be ready for real game snaps until year 3. Is he still a safety then? That’s probably 50/50.

Johnson, TBP, and a tweener Urlacher isn’t getting the job done.

Not taking Ziglar sounds like a fireable offense now.

I'd read Jamie's 6 Thoughts article from today (specifically thought 4) before making the last point on Zigler.


I think allowing the safety board to get to this point is a perplexing set of decisions to say the least, but it doesn't sound like everyone is sold on Zigler either.

I’ll just note that IF it’s even true which seems unlikely.

Then we can’t really believe that Ziglar showed up on campus, measuring at 6’2 1/2, 200 lbs. and O’Leary on his own made the pitch to him about CB. Then made the decision that they’re full.

Again, these decisions are not being made by O’Leary.

Saldate got his 4th star with rivals too. Seems rivals really likes ND kids for 2024, with 15 ranked as 4 stars now, and a top 5 class.

I still cannot believe Cole Mullins hasn’t skyrocketed. I expect that will happen pretty quickly when his season starts. I’m also surprised Georgia hasn’t put the heat on him (yet).

It's odd that every ND beat and fan thinks he's a 4.5 star, yet he's ranked in the 600s and no powers regionally seem to want him. I'm not sure what to think, not that it matters.

I get Cole Mullins a lot more than some of the commits that the sites apparently like.

So safety recruiting is good again now?
Tbd. Does anyone else feel if this was 10 years ago and this safety group commits during productive senior seasons (as was the norm back then), there isn't nearly as much hand wringing?

Each has a big opportunity to ball out senior year and make a lot of hot takes look like hot garbage....

It'll be interesting to track their progress through the season.
