All depends on the size of the bags they are dropping. Facility wise they cannot compete with any of the top schools. They can’t compete with a history of development. Belicheck is a pretty big dick head and doesn’t appear to have much caring for his players, a lot like BK, looks at purely from a business mind. He’s not much a molder of men as the saying the goes. It will be interesting to see how he does at the college level.

We develop players and over achieve about as well as any program in the country. We have phenomenal coaches and culture. At one point Jack Sacco or someone like that put out a long term earnings chart for ND players and I want to say it was the highest in the nation. I get the quick bag temptation but coming to ND has worked out for the vast vast majority of top end talent it seems. Whether its long NFL careers, sports broadcasting, big law firms, you name it, our guys likely make far more money in the long run than a standard 3 year NFL career and a quick bag in college. If only parents and kids could understand that. Love did and now he’s the best back in America. Freeman is doing a great job of selling that but it amazes me how it doesn’t resonate even more with some folks.

Kids will always be stupid. When one generation eventually figures it out, there’s another one ready to do something stupid.

And guys like Keon Kelly are regretting it

He grew up Catholic so it would be cool to have an ND offer - per Loy below (VIP)

That doesn't get you a profile but interesting to follow

Should've been an early offer, he just had a commitment date set for Wednesday but pushed it back. Used to live right down the road from Sprayberry, pretty decent academic school and he has a 3.8 per his twitter. He's a stud and looks like a Mickens prototype.

Offered by LSU yesterday as well. Bama probably led going into commitment date, who knows what made him push it back.

He saw Chris Ash's picture, and then reading up on his background was impressed with his numerous, numerous stops

It really looks like ND is trying to get back into Florida with the recent recruiting news...
