So awesome on the DL this year
It’s absurd that Freeman & Co. are doing this in the NIL era. Hope it holds together.
Don’t think it’s a coincidence that it’s a relatively young African American who played at a high level, is a hustler and is a high character guy that has produced these results.It’s absurd that Freeman & Co. are doing this in the NIL era. Hope it holds together.
I do wonder about this, when you read about just how widespread, and well-funded, NIL collectives are rapidly becoming. It seems like any recruit who's worth a damn could get a sizable cash deal right now. Yet we reel in this string of high-four stars without one? Feels like one of three things (or, probably, some combo of all three).Imagine if we could compete with the other schools in NIL, how much more lethal MFMF would be

1: We do, in fact, have a competitive NIL operation it's just very under-the-radar.
2: We're going to lose a bunch of these commits over the next seven months.
3: Freeman/staff are doing a tremendous job both of targeting the right kids (ones who won't be swayed by easy/early money) and on selling them all that Notre Dame does offer.
Owen being the exception?I think it’s some combo of 1 and 3, as I don’t think it’ll be a bunch of commits that waffle. But, I do think it could make for some interesting in-season recruiting.

I think it’s more 1 and 3 not necessarily 2. I think we have a bigger NIL packeage then what we let the public know. Freeman and his staff know how to get these locked in and stay locked in.I do wonder about this, when you read about just how widespread, and well-funded, NIL collectives are rapidly becoming.

My answer is: D) 4Four IE commentators have given opinions about ND and active NIL "program" just above this post. Since it's such a major new part of recruiting I'd like to ask, "does anyone actually know what they're talking about here, or are such posts just spinning hopeful BS?"
