Your ability to light a room on fire still gets me every time. Don’t ban this man, y’all.

After watching the presser, Freeman was fine. Thanked the media after and wished them a good weekend. He is always like that. Maybe it was the first time Wojciak saw one.

Having said that, for those who still insist his body language was tense or whatever, how was his body language during the pressers before the playoffs games in 2024(5)? Wasn't all roses then either. Pretty silly talking point.

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 occasions but the dude has been barely healthy enough for us to see what he can do.

The season's right around the corner. We'll see who their dudes are when the lights get bright.

I think the praises for most is worth little, the lack of praise for others is noticeable. Like when you read off the entire WR room besides Cam Williams. Well we can probably let that ship sail

I don't even read most of the posts anymore but when I see a post from him, I always pay attention. I vote no.

If the S.S. Williams has indeed sailed, how far back do we have to go to find a highly-rated WR recruit who lived up to the ranking?

I firmly believe he’s a big reason why our d-line has improved as much as it has.

Marcus is on this board and just wanted him to shut up

For personal reasons, I sure hope he’s not.

I genuinely appreciate everyone that shares info, and my dumbass subscribes to 2 sites, but it’s so hard for me to actually care about a single report from camp from any of these guys when it’s all third or fourth hand info, or simply watching 20 minutes of practice against air.

Truly the only thing of substance I’ve seen so far is that the Sanders/McKinney battle is close. That’s frankly an absurd development to me that ND has 4 corners who would start on pretty much any team outside the top ten. Think about where ND was at the position not that long ago.

notredomer23 · 2026-08-21T19:42:02-0400

The only insider (@arrowryan) that was right last year was banned from practice this year (maybe slightly hyperbole on banned) - we don’t forget

I do think it’s kinda weird, but that’s just me…

So, we know he's fast, but how in the world was he ranked a 5*? Like the kid and glad he's staying/ getting his degree and seems to be a good dude by all accounts... but what an absolute miss on the field.

Basically just ran past and physically dominated kids

Not to pull a 2008, but honestly can we Lorenzo Styles style flip him to safety him? He seems to love ND…

I’m not sure he can make waves this late in his career with the talent stocked in the safety room.

T-Boone · 2026-08-21T20:43:19-0400

At least get him to special teams claypool level.

Odds would be against him, but Styles got drafted in the 5th round based off one year of PT at OSU. Cam still has 3 years (including this) left

Have we ever seen him on STs? Figured someone who could fly would be on a coverage unit if he’s at all physical

He'd have to want the smoke, but ST'er would be about his only path. You'd think a guy with his size/speed has the makings of a gunner and all the run teams.

Very good point.

Fair but seems like you scoff at everything they say. Which is fine if you disagree with it but seems like it’s everything reported.
