    State of the Recruiting Class - 2024

    Michigan State only has 1 appearance, in 2015. Michigan has 2. Tied with us.

    State of the Recruiting Class - 2024

    You're not wrong. This is a big year. That being said, while ND may lose most of those guys, ND has recruited a lot better in the past few seasons. The '22 class will be juniors, which is easily the most complete class ND has had in a while. And I also think the portal will be a huge benefit...

    '24 IL DL Justin Scott (Miami [FL] Verbal)

    So, the coach who recruited the whole ass roster for 2022 holds NO blame whatsoever? That is insanely ignorant. Yeah, Kelly beat these kind of teams, but if you watch 2021, he was pushing it several times. The only reason ND didn't lose to Florida State, Toledo and Virginia Tech was because...

    State of the Recruiting Class - 2024

    Ryan Day is in year 5. Freeman is in year 2. It's not just about standards, it's about perspective. Ohio State has won 10+ games every year except 2 in the past 20 years. They've also won 2 titles this millennium. So him losing 3 in a row to Michigan, with vastly more recruiting talent means...

    '24 GA WR Isiah Canion (Georgia Tech Verbal)

    I'm disappointed, because I think he has the talent to be a really good receiver, and now ND has to go back to the drawing board. That being said, I agree. ND should be able to replace him without much problem, especially with Stuckey on the trail.

    '24 IL DL Justin Scott (Miami [FL] Verbal)

    I can't imagine why this notion why ND losing to Marshall/Stanford was not at least partially on Kelly. He recruited this roster. He decided that Drew Pyne was sufficient. He allowed Elston to continuously recruit undersized DT's and go low on numbers overall on the DL. He allowed Lea to...

    '24 IL DL Justin Scott (Miami [FL] Verbal)

    I think the point was that Jack forced a marriage between Freeman and Rees, instead of letting him get his guy from the jump. And Freeman really couldn't have looked around more. Rees left VERY late in the offseason. Spring practice was mere weeks away and most of the top names for OC...

    That's not what I said at all. Jesus dude.

    '24 GA WR Isiah Canion (Georgia Tech Verbal)

    It kind of does matter. The board isn't static. We saw that with Owen Wafle. Some guys move up the board, some guys move down. They could've offered Mencke and Miles earlier, but they didn't. They offered Urlacher before either of them, despite being rated lower than both. But the premise...

    '24 IL DL Justin Scott (Miami [FL] Verbal)

    I disagree. I think that was the case, but like I said, OSU and Day basically said that the collectives need to get their asses in gear. This is Ohio State we're talking about. If they're given the green light, you can bet your ass, their crazed fanbase will pump NIL funds like there's no...

    '24 GA WR Isiah Canion (Georgia Tech Verbal)

    I'd agree when it comes to Canion and Nelson. I don't agree when it comes to Mencke or Miles. I think there are better guys out there and it's likely they got them already. Just wasn't a big fan of either of them. I'm not a TBP fan either, but at least he has the ringing endorsement of a...

    '24 IL DL Justin Scott (Miami [FL] Verbal)

    Eh, I doubt Ohio State is a "lesser" NIL school anymore. Day put out a bat signal to the O$U donors to get their sh*t together and they answered in droves.

    Al Washington - DL Coach & Def. Run Game Coordinator

    As usual, insane overreaction and not remotely accurate.

    State of the Recruiting Class - 2024

    Except we really didn't. Remember, we're talking specifically defense. The highest rated guys were Gabe Rubio and Prince Kollie, both top 150. Important to note that Kollie hadn't committed yet, and was at this point in the cycle, on the fringe of 3-star status. ND finished with 3 4-stars...

    '24 GA WR Isiah Canion (Georgia Tech Verbal)

    Yep. When I was applying for colleges, I applied for UGA and Georgia Tech. I could've easily gone to UGA if I so chose. I had ZERO shot of getting into Tech. They couldn't mail that denial letter soon enough.

    '24 IL DL Justin Scott (Miami [FL] Verbal)

    They've won all of 1 in the last 9 years, and they were at a massively unfair advantage going into it, since they played half a season and were far fresher than everybody else. And they still got de-cleated by Alabama. I wouldn't say it's "per usual".

    '24 IL DL Justin Scott (Miami [FL] Verbal)

    Perception is really kicking this fanbase right now. I think this would be an easier pill to swallow if ND had a few more wins on the trail recently, but it's been rough. Losing Canion and then Scott spurning us in the same weekend will deflate any fanbase that isn't Alabama or Georgia.

    State of the Recruiting Class - 2024

    Poor dude, can't remember back 2-3 years. 2020: DL: Jordan Botelho, Rylie Mills, Aidan Keanaaina, Alex Ehrensberger LB: Hollada Nobaddie CB: Clarence Lewis, Caleb Offord S: Ramon Henderson That class was not only low on key contributors, but low on bodies in general. Zero LBs taken. ZERO...

    '24 IL DL Justin Scott (Miami [FL] Verbal)

    ND chose Bryce Young over Jacob Smith and Jerod, I'll be real, he's just not a good prospect to me. He's a guy who doesn't look like he'll get big enough to play interior, which has been the problem for ND for a while. And on top of that, I prefer Mullins and Young over Jacob Smith. ND can't...

    '24 GA WR Isiah Canion (Georgia Tech Verbal)

    If that's the case, then I feel bad for Isiah. That's a really shitty thing to do to ND and to him. How any decent parent can tell their kids to ghost the coach that's invested this much time into recruiting them doesn't deserve any respect. If you don't want him to go, be upfront with them...
