BK coached Mickens at UC for 3 seasons. BK's hiring of Mickens away from Fickel, Freeman, and his alma mater was a pretty solid endorsement of BK. Same goes for BK getting Freeman to ND and not LSU. And now this is where the pendulum swings too far in the other direction. Nothing is as great...

I think the problem is the hype. The Freeman era is the era of hype. Hype on social media. Hype in the community. It's all this hype, 24/7. Which is cool. ND has got a HC with some swagger. My coach could kick your coaches ass, lol. "The Gug" also does a good job controlling that hype...

I’m not sure I think he did right away but I think he is now. This is just my takeaways from reading recruiting interviews but he’s less personally involved than he was last cycle. He’s much more of the closer role when kids are in campus or in the relationships. I would imagine he’s...

Gotta include Watts in that class as well as McCloud as a GT. Similar to giving Freeman credit for his transfers BK should get credit for his. McCloud is a legitimate NFL DB right now. So, that makes 5 or 6 key contributors added from that cycle. Not great but looks far better than...

I care about this less than I care about losing Canion.

Miles to Texas Tech, Mencke Jr. to Duke, Nelson to Nebraska, and Canion to GT. Brutal.

Definitely Tommy because he tried to take Tommy with him.

FWIW, Loy confirming that the family went dark on Stuckey over the last 48 hours and it was another family member that informed him of the decision. That’s pretty wild if true.

Just getting caught up. Huge loss. So, he comes on his OV. Head taps Freeman and de-commits. Cool cool

In ISD’s Friday Recruiting Intel piece had a blurb about him coming out of the II workout as “the guy” at WR.

Wake Forest had 5 guys last year that bested 35 catches. Is Jaden one of the 5 best pass catchers? Or, do we eclipse that mark? I think he is ultimately one of the best 5 pass catchers but i'll say under as I think they'll spend a good portion of the year trying to get some veteran guys in...

No idea who it’s going to be but I just don’t see this class stopping at 22 or 23. So, I’d put every recruit that’s had a reasonable amount of interest and it’s not about the money on that list, lol.

Likely won’t remember any of these guys, maybe Dublin will ;) but should make for some interesting comparisons down the road.

Full agreement. Pretty incredible we got Carr. Not just the recruiting victory but prospect. He’s actually the real deal. Scott, we’ll see. This isn’t me saying it’s justified. I’m just saying that it will happen. If Scott goes to Michigan II, IB, etc will meltdown hard. Michigan will...

If ND were to go 11-1 or 12-0, I’d be more surprised if recruits didn’t come out of the woodwork to get involved.

My original post used words like “could” and “might”. No speaking in certainties of his position or character here. Someone like Rushing, winning likely doesn’t matter because the money never changes. Guys like KVA, Beasley, Shaw, Nelson, etc. Those are guys that have shown genuine interest...

He was setup for an OV and they cancelled it. Narrative was they liked others on the board more.

The worst way to make a point is to say well if it wasn’t for such and such, this or that, frick and frack, or smick and smack we would’ve won. We were actually down by double digits almost the entire game. After 8 minutes into the game they were up 10-0. We only closed it to less than double...

The list of quality players that "are not good enough" to play at ND in this class is long. You have to win a lot of games if that is the position.

First of all, what if he chooses OSU over ND? He'll be leaving home against that peer pressure but not to ND. In order for ND to continue to land more guys out of regions like the West, South, etc, that can survive at ND, they have to win more big games. Virtually unanimous that USC is...
