Sounds like NDs admin is working with Freeman to get the right guys in. That’s a positive right? This guy was what academic class?

2019 and he was a non-EE. So he's got 5 semesters under his belt towards his Learning and Organizational Change major. Part of the School of Education and Social Policy.

 

[Huntr]

Getting talent a position of need seems like a good idea

Here is his stats for the 2021 season.

Don't expect a lot of W's for us in the portal, this is definitely one.

Can’t understate how well Notre Dame made out over the last month+ considering ND lost a Top 10 head coach with zero warning.

In the world of auto transfers, the loss of a big coach could leave any stable program absolutely gutted (see Oklahoma). Idk if any of the three decommits come here if BK doesn’t leave, maybe CJ Williams but not the other 2.

Really impressed with how well Freeman has been able to hold things together. Foskey would be the icing on the cake.

Could be the deepest safety room we've had in a while, no?

It's a little early for vodka shots but.....wait, no its not.

A round of vodka shots for everyone!

ND using Northwestern as a farm team for NFL talent is something I can get used to. Second NFL prospect to switch to the good guys from Evanston in three years

 

[BeauBenken]

This is a five star (6 star?) level addition. The portal allows you to add immediate necessary additions to patch up any holes which with Hamilton leaving, we needed a deep safety with range and experience.

I think we could still use a corner and a wide receiver to really patch up any holes but man does this feel good...especially since he's an undergrad.

 

[Dale]

Yuge. I think he’s ideally you’re FS if you’re playing him in his best spot but could probably play more of a SS if you’re second best is also a FS (Henderson)

 

[GoldenAura]

Awesome addition!

 

[zelezo vlk]

Cool beans

 

[Luckylucci]

Very important addition. Gives Freeman and O’Leary a solid 5 man rotation. 2 deep plus 1.

 

[andre784]

Very thankful

 

[calvegas04]

Based on his twitter interactions he is real hyped about being apart of ND

 

[ryno 24]

This is huge. Big step up in the secondary. We want to run a 3 safety/hybrid linebacker look a lot of the time. This will help a lot with talent and rotation

 

[ThePiombino]

Very excited about this! How does this compare to the Alohi transfer? Ideally different positions I assume (FS here vs AG at SS)?

Just watched his one handed int against OSU. It was awesome to see him get his head around, hopefully ND doesn't coach that out of him...ROFL

Based on what I've read, the impact will probably be similar but he's a different kind of player. He's long and probably more athletic. Gilman was a better tackler. Joseph is really good in coverage.

We just need him to have 4 picks on opening weekend and we're golden.

One was a pretty good freshman from Naval academy who became a leader in the locker room. The other is a 2 time All-American with more to be written. I'd say there is a pretty big difference between the starting points, let's hope the delta carries forward to the end.

 

[Dale]

Thought it was interesting when he spoke to the media today he mentioned on choosing ND, he was confident given O'Leary's track record of coaching Hamilton and JOK he could further develop here.

So now we know COL’s recruiting pitch. Not a bad one at all. He got a little taste of some tough recruiting lumps on the 2022 class putting everything into Nwankpa but 2023 is looking much better
