Moonshine Sales.

We’re making an awful lot of assumptions about a kid simply because ND didn’t gain a foothold in this recruitment lol

we didn't get a stronghold because of those assumption

... and his final 4 proves those assumptions correct. You can try to be PC all you want, but not every athlete out there will be interested in Notre Dame for various reasons. Even if Freeman has changed "what aisle they shop down," no school will interest every high school athlete.

 

[Dale]

Yeah Lion don’t be so PC principle bro, clearly it’s about the co-eds

🤮

Which assumptions? I think what's been posted for the most part has been well documented .

He's from 'Bama (Birmingham)
Grew up a 'Bama fan
Hated Auburn
Loved the $EC
Looking for a Football Factory as opposed to 4/40

Only assumption is him being a future portal hopper but I'm sure that comes from the healthy track record of similar recruitments ending that way. Not to mention that Final 4🤔

 

[Dale]

His Final 4 is the two national championships participants, his home state school and the premier WR university in the sport.

You guys see the final four and it’s a side eye

I can’t sometimes lol

So what you’re saying is his uncle doesn’t like Hacienda or Mexican food at all?

At any rate, it’s probably safe to say I can unsubscribe to this thread and not miss anything at all.

 

[IrishLion]

Not every athlete is going to be interested in what Notre Dame has to offer. Sales has always struck me as someone who is interested in a big state school with a lot of co-eds and little interest in the academic side of things... His final 4 are not surprising, Miami may be private, but they have about 20,000 students and plenty of co-eds with little need to focus on academics.

Who cares. Let’s move on. Kid isn’t a fit and will probably transfer when he’s in college.

Not a surprise, he is a 'Bama native and a kid who probably hits the portal at least once.

….

Which assumptions?

 

[Rocketman84]

….

Well Sales himself stated "he wants a BIG TIME program with a proven history of preparing wide receivers for the professional level. His interest in Indiana surged specifically after seeing them win a National Championship and win on a grand stage."

"He has stated he is not looking to "flip" once committed and values finding a long-term home, though he noted things could influence that decision.

Guess the feelings are pretty accurate.

Kids that flip are bad. Unrelated but I hope we land Lopati as QB.

….

so assumptions that were correct...

 

[notredomer23]

Fong’d to Indiana

Fong’d to Indiana

Can we just fucking schedule Indiana already and push their shit in (again)?

 

[BigOunce]

They’re on the schedule in 2030.

 

[MeanGreenBeans]

BAM!

 

[IrishinSyria]

I feel like there was a big discussion about whether or not the rise of Indiana as an in state football powerhouse was concerning or not and man you really have to have shamrock colored glasses on to think it's not.

I personally think this is a poor example if you are trying to prove why ND should be concerned. It is clear that Sales was not interested in ND even if IU was not rising. ND didnt "lose" him to IU; ND was never in it.

Having said that, I do think IU's rise will steal a recruit or two the state of Indiana. Where will the next Jaylon Smith trend toward?

I mean sure but we havent been on Sales for months at this point so I dont really get the correlation

It doesn't concern me at all. I just can't stand them or their coach and they need to be knocked down a peg. Since when is recruiting in the state of Indiana vital to our success?

Why?

Edit: To put another way, do you think ND would rather Sales go to Alabama, Miami, OSU? Or would they rather the five star WR join IU's current 27 class of *checks notes* 1 four star recruit (Rated 90) and 3 three star recruits?

Wow that’s fucking pathetic in any context but especially on the heels of a national championship. Way below the poverty line. But yeah we should be concerned.

To all the Hoosier fans here just know this: your team was a cute little story for a bit. But your title will have an asterisk next to it because you were lucky enough to not face ND in the playoffs. You aren’t on ND’s level. You never have been and you never will be. You’ll be back in the dumpster where you belong soon enough. So enjoy the rest of your cute little story while it lasts.

 

[LifelongFan]

Didn't even think about this in context of us. Based on how people talked about him and his family, this feels like Bama is falling off the national stage rapidly. Everyone made it seem like this was a guarantee.

 

[MacIrish75]

ND will nearly always pull who we want from the 260. There’s much greater affinity and program connections in Fort Wayne at this point. Jaylon has and will continue to pay dividends for us in that regard. I’m more concerned with Ohio State snagging NEI kids than IU.

If Sales was a Cathedral kid, or another Catholic school product that we were seeking, I might be a little more rankled. Indy is a crapshoot and I’m not losing sleep over a Larry North guy picking IU. ND will continue to get the overwhelming majority of in-state guys we choose to pursue.

They don't recruit well (maybe in the 30-35 range , hahahaha), they just buy well. New mascot .... "IU dollar bills", thanks to Mark 'fuckass' Cuban! They just spent a shit load to revamp their b-ball team. I hate fuckin' IU (not as much as meatcicken though)!

 

[Dale]

To be fair there is an outside chance IU has 3 first round WRs within 2 - 3 drafts

Considering DeBoer also has produced a WR factory and he’s a Alabama native at heart really that makes it more surprising, and likely that IU was willing to go $hot for $hot to win this one

They will have a good class and will be fine. They just had the greatest/most accomplished team in cfb history. They are being more selective. They recently told Olgelsby to pound sand when he wanted a huge bag. He can enjoy Kansas.

They've also been really busy since the playoff started. They spent part of this week in DC visiting the White House. That's what championship teams do. My notes tell me the last time ND was at the White House, Ronald Reagan was there.

But that could change next year. ND or Indiana could very well be there next year.

Okay? Should IE send them a congratulatory food basket or something?

Sales had a 0.0% of coming to ND regardless of what IU is doing. He’s an Alabama native who never seemed interested in ND.
