I dont mean to be a dork...

but "Choose Hard, Live Easy" is a really really good pitch. It's better than, or solidifies at least, the "4 for 40" thing that gets a little stale.

MFMF is the fucking man
The cool thing about the NIL era is that it has really flipped the mindset of recruits to making a "business decision" ... which has a lot of factors, but one of them isn't "parties, weather, and whores" which was the main area where ND lacked appeal to certain players in the past.

Not only business decisions that help level the playing field, but it still amazes me that ND was uniquely set up to actually take advantage of the NIL era by leveraging what they’ve always been good at, aka come to a serious place that will take care of you as long as you are ready for the serious road… and they didn’t totally fuck it up.

Instead, they have to be tops in the country in retaining talent, and have shown an unbelievable ability to target the exact right guys in the portal. And not only are they targeting and landing them, but the SUCCESS of their portal targets, combined with killing it in NIL in the right ways (not just throwing cash around like some other places that are losing entire recruiting classes), is breeding further success from NIL recruits, both high school and portal.

And now, I think they’re combining all of that with a “won three playoff games, beat UGA and PSU, and played in a natty” bump.

Fun times!

Incredible job by the staff and highlights how ND has really found their stride with the on-campus visits. Dude was offered in March 2024 and didn’t visit until 2 months ago and we immediately shot up to poll position.

A bit different announcement than Trae had for Nebraska. Kid plays down the road, east suburbs of Dallas. Great pick up of another TX RB.

Love this kid's film. Nasty jump cut and super quick feet. Just looks quick overall with excellent contact balance. He seems to have a nice combination of power and explosiveness and his production is superb. Impressive how this staff quickly nabbed him from UM.

Welcome to Notre Dame Javian Osborne!

Javian on Notre Dame: Effusive Praise. Near tears. Said the word “love” at least 4x.

Javian on Michigan: “They run the football.”

Shit was not even close lol
Yeah even if you’d never followed his recruitment it was pretty clear who he was going to choose. 😂

MF has been really capitalizing on the run this past year...if/when he can win a title he will jump up onto the Mt. Rushmore of ND coaches.
