My comp has been Aidan Hutchinson for quite some time. Increasingly I feel better about it!

He's a better football player at this stage. I'm highly confident of that.

Don't expect him to be ranked anywhere close to where he should be at the end of the day due to the reclassification, but if the services don't vault him up into AT LEAST the top 100-125 range by the end of the cycle, they're absolutely delusional. In reality, he's a top 30-50 talent, regardless...

Different ends. Vaughn is a pure WDE / Rush Edge in a 4-3 scheme. McGee can play that position, but probably projects better to the bigger end in ND's front. He's going to be 6'4, 260-265lbs in college and projects as more of a power rusher. Where as Vaughn probably stays in that 6'3, 250lb...

I'm not going to worry about anyone that Freeman is praising as standing out. Until the games are played, it's irrelevant. Last year he routinely gushed about Jason Onye's play in camp and that did not translate to success against Miami and Texas A&M. He's also talked up Greathouse on numerous...

Simply a matter of Joe Rudolph trying to find his best 5. If he believes that both Otting and Craig are better players than Absher and that a position switch to RG for Craig won't negatively impact his ability, we'lll see a healthy OL of.... LT: Black LG: Knapp C: Otting RG: Craig RT: Lambert...

It's the nerve damage / regeneration piece. The bone has healed (or is healing) by all accounts, but the kid's arm literally has not been "right" since the injury. Getting the feeling and associated strength back in the arm can take a long time. It's a patience game and you never know at what...

Lots of options along the OL, but I was hoping Matty would take that job. Just seems to have the highest upside of thr guys not named Jagusah. Between Otting, Craig and Absher there are still 3 quality options for those 2 positions. Foot injuries are notoriously difficult for big men to come...

"I've made a quadrillion dollars talking shit. If football doesn't work out, you can too."

Love the mention of Augustine. Given that Jagusah is a wildcard to play this season in any capacity, for me the difference between a potentially elite OL and a very good one, could be Augustine's ability to beat out Absher. I think Absher is a good player, and a guy ND can certainly win with...

Mississippi lol... I know miney talks, but dude better be a huge J-Love fan. Je's a friggen stud though, so I'd take him. Pair him with one of Xander Edwards or Tahmere Brown and call it a wrap for 2028 RB recruiting.

Awesome news overall. It's great that so many get a head start these days. Halter is the only guy I'm a touch disappointed with, simply because he has a ton of upside, but needs some serious time in a college weight room. That said, he's not going to be playing right away regardless due to the...

IMO, Peter Jones has been recruited over significantly and likely won't ever play at ND. Too many young, healthy guys that are just going to be better.

Freeman said something like "hopefully sometime during camp, before game one" for the guys on the modified activity list. I wouldn't hold my breath in thinking that all of the guys on that list are going to back fo sure for game 1. I suspect they'll try to have them ready, but if there is any...

Nothing like a quality dram of scotch to sip on.

Glendronach 21, Glenmorangie Signet or a dram of Lagavulin 16 in the fall with a Montecristo #2 or Hoyo De Monterrey Epicure #2 around the fire at the lake.

My impression is that this going to be a thorough process and that we'll be visiting some of the very best programs in the ciuntry and slowly dwindling his list. ND will be one of several teams in the mix.

A lot of good rule changes, but the most important elements will still involve rampant cheating using new, innovative ways. You can not legislate away the humanistic desire for people to seek advantage over others. In particular... 1. There is no way in actuality to stop colleges from...

He's serious about winning, but he's afraid that if the finances of the sport degrade to the point of unsustainability, the conferences will push for drastic changes to the sport that will not benefit ND for the better. ND's AD has the unevenviable task of constantly fighting for what's in...

It doesn't disadvantage Notre Dame. It simply blunts the financial might advantage ND's been exercising over the last 2 recruiting cycles. The Irish have been significantly outspending programs such as Georgia, Alabama and Clemson and the results have been obvious in the quality of their...
