    Marcus Freeman named Dick Corbett Head Football Coach

    What statistic supports the notion that ND's schedule was tougher in '21 compared to '22? Because if there is one, it is laughably and insanely flawed. In 2021, ND played a whopping 4 teams that finished 2021 with a winning record. Those were Cincinnati (13-1), Purdue (9-4), Wisconsin (9-4) and...

    State of the Recruiting Class - 2024

    I highly doubt kids who are a few semesters in have enough time to get all the admission requirements done in just a semester. I'd say ND needs to seriously adjust their admission standards for athletes. I mean, they should've BEEN done this, but, better late than never I guess.

    ND's Talking Heads ... The good, bad & ugly

    It's remarkable how often you defeat your own argument. You try to use Kelly's last 2 classes (2021 and 2022) as "gotcha" moment when considering balance. Bruh, we took ONE receiver in 2022. We took ONE LB in 2021, after taking ZERO in 2020. How in the hell is that balanced? Heck, think...

    '24 CA LB Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa (Notre Dame Signee)

    Hard to trust any of the ND beat so far. They've been really off this cycle. Admittedly, I think things have gotten significantly more unpredictable in recruiting with NIL and the portal creating significantly more variables to consider. Really makes you question why even bother spending...

    Chicago White Sox... The thread.

    How we're halfway through the season and nobody has been held accountable for this putrid abomination is pathetic, if not unsurprising. Jerry is reaching Bill Wirtz levels of detestability. Just a flat out manipulative, cheap POS owner.

    '23 MO DE Samuel M'Pemba (Georgia Verbal)

    I think it's more of a "here we go again situation". Anywhere else, this would be a nothing burger. But Georgia doesn't get the benefit of that. This stuff, and more, have been happening WAY too often for it to simply be ignored.

    '24 AZ EDGE Elijah Rushing (Offer)

    All this shitting on U of A warms this Sun Devil grad's heart.

    '24 TX DE Joseph Jonah-Ajonye (Georgia Verbal)

    Nah. We're going to lose him to newly formed powerhouse Georgia Tech.

    '24 TX DE Joseph Jonah-Ajonye (Georgia Verbal)

    This was one of those patented late bloomers that went under the radar and wasn't even rated until late March. Would be nice if Mullins got a similar treatment, given how insanely and ridiculously underrated he is.

    Marcus Freeman named Dick Corbett Head Football Coach

    The most I recall was Rees reaching out and speaking to Kedon Slovis, but that was about it. Odds are that Freeman and Rees didn't see a QB who was a certain upgrade to what they had on roster. Unfortunately, this is the downside to relying on the portal. You're not going to have a Sam Hartman...

    NIL Collective Focused On High School Recruit Acquisition- Would You Contribute?

    IIRC, the FUND was already nearing $10 million in funds raised entering September of last year. That was after about 4-5 months. I think it's fairly realistic that ND fans could scrape together another few mil for NIL promises to top 50 caliber players. I get why people would invest in this...

    Marcus Freeman named Dick Corbett Head Football Coach

    Smh...ND played nobody in 2021. Post Cincinnati, this was ND's slate: @ Virginia Tech (6-7) vs. USC (4-8) vs. North Carolina (6-7) vs. Navy (4-8) @ Virginia (6-6) vs. Georgia Tech (3-9) @ Stanford (3-9) In the final 7 games of the season, ND didn't play a SINGLE team with a winning record.

    Marcus Freeman named Dick Corbett Head Football Coach

    Daniels wasn't an option for Freeman. The best names that were available to him were Slovis and JT Daniels. Both of which were not upgrades over Buchner and proved it. Heck, probably not even upgrades over Pyne. They were incredibly mediocre.

    Marcus Freeman named Dick Corbett Head Football Coach

    You continuously bring this up over and over and provide zero legitimate names. Until you can provide a name that ND could have realistically gotten who was a significant and noticeable upgrade over Buchner, it is a moot point.

    General team info

    Hopefully ND and Jack help Matt Jansen by giving him a boost in staffing. No excuse for ND to not have one of the most robust recruiting & scouting staffs in the country.

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

    Wholeheartedly, one way or another, if Golden leaves after this year, Mickens deserves to be promoted. Dude knows exactly how a defense is supposed to be run working under Freeman for several years, both here and at Cincinnati.

    Marcus Freeman named Dick Corbett Head Football Coach

    Zero chance of that happening. My guess is Ohio State is LJ's last stop before riding off into the sunset. If Freeman goes in a different direction at DL coach, I'd like for them to target Charlie Partridge at Pitt. His ability to develop DL with less than stellar talent to work with is very...

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

    I'm torn on Al Golden. On one hand, it's still too early to tell his impact as a coach. I just wish we heard his name more on the trail. He seems like a very likable coach. In regards to Washington, definitely too early. And despite missing on Justin Scott, I think he's done a good job...

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

    Again, that isn't what I'm saying at all. It's not a zero sum game. Freeman's inexperience contributed to those poor showings. He absolutely is at fault. But the argument was that Kelly had ZERO to do with those losses, which is just flat out incorrect when practically the entire roster, and...

    State of the Recruiting Class - 2024

    I kinda like him from time to time. He makes it easy since you don't have to sift through a bunch of fluff to get to the meat of the argument. That being said, yeah, his voice is grating.
