I think we're recruiting slightly better but probably at the best level possible. If we don't get any 5* kids after the season we had and the publicity Freeman has gotten, then it's obviously an institutional problem.

Luckily our head S&C coach is renowned for limiting injuries. Depth is overrated.

Agree. We were not only explosive in the run game but we also seemed great at 3rd and short and 4th and short (RL was the main reason). If I'm thinking about the top two things I'd want out of a run game, it would be those two things.

Do you think the Spring transfer portal window will have a bunch of new names available or is this window the big one?

Sorry, didn’t mean to indicate he was an asshole (might be a great guy), that’s just the guy I was thinking of.

That’s the one.

That’s actually a great idea. I’ll do the same with Molly McGrath. Hate for her to report on Ben Mo’s absence. Looking out for you, brother.

Was it the guy who went to UCF? Remember one OL with a pretty douchey commitment video but maybe it’s because I’m old.

Agree. There’s just no more games for 8 months. Brutal.

This is simply an outsider's perspective but the problem with ND not spending top money (if that is true) has nothing to do with them not having the money. ND seems to be afraid of appearing like a football factory. There was a lot of talk about Ohio State spending $20 million on their roster...

Oh God, I forgot how depressing the offseason is.

Ha. I remember the tweet, didn’t realize it was from him.

Assume it’s sarcasm from last year’s similar take (forgot from who) after Merriweather, Flores and others left.

Forgot that they were separate issues.

I felt great about the program right after. Seemed like we finally hired an elite coach and we were on our way up. I followed recruiting more back then and was very excited that we were replacing 3 of our top guys (Manti, KLM, Mona) with three 5* recruits, Jaylon, Redfield, Vanderdoes...

Gotcha. I was just thinking back to when he got hired and they looking back at this thread where Sampson reported: “Freeman wanted experience in the role, something that was noticeably absent in Notre Dame’s Fiesta Bowl collapse against Oklahoma State. But a willingness to run the head coach’s...

Agree on the money part but I thought the cap had to do with the school’s payments not any 3rd party NIL.

Isn’t the difference that Al is running Freeman’s defensive philosophy? Kinda like what Kelly did on the offensive side. I assume whoever gets hired there will be continuity just based on Freeman being a defensive guy.

Can people show concern if he does transfer or will people be told, “relax bedwetters we have guys to replace him”?
