Not likely considering Weis was fired 13 years ago. Also, MF hasn't yet signed a class. It seems premature not to discuss the potential gap closing potential and anoint him as the gap closer. He's doing well, so don't take that for what it's not. I think it was completely salient in the context of Nick Saban also having a streak of beating unranked teams. More salient is that he doesn't barely beat them. In the setting of determining whether that gap is closing, it seems reasonable to look at how we do head to head, how we've performed in big games, and how we beat unranked teams.

Literally nobody said we were.
Eh, if ya didn't it was certainly a reasonable interpretation.

End of the day, ND recruits much closer to Alabama than it does to K-State. ND and Alabama shop at Whole Foods and Publix. ND might stop at Aldi once for a few things. K-State shops at Wynn Dixie.

This is nothing new, we’re all very aware Bama and everyone else is trying to flip him. I think we should leave this thread alone until there’s significant information. It’s not like rehashing the same shit over and over is going to help our cause.

Part of me is excited that Bama is going so hard for this guy. If we can land him over Bama, it's like Cassius Clay landing a blow on Sonny. It was the first time Sonny hit the mat, and then ultimately Sonny loses the match. This is a chance to show Bama and the world that we are not to be reckoned with. If ND can pull it off, it was literally Bama throwing the entire kitchen at a guy and we landed him.

Flip side, Bama is unwilling to lose. Drops bags of cash. I get sad like the rest here. But till that happens, I am excited at the idea of competing head to head and taking Bama's best shot on the chin and smiling after.

I will reserve posting anything else until there is a more substantial update. Thanks.

I've been reading that OSU might be entering the picture for Keeley. His uncle is a huge OSU fan and is trying to push him to Columbus - and Keeley is close to his uncle. He'll be at the ND-OSU game.

He'll be at the game when we win and all the fans are pissed and cussing drunk and leaving the stadium in a bad mood. Campus will be a somber depression.

I think ND will hang on here. ND was on this kid pretty early. Going to OSU or Alabama is not some meaningful step up in exposure or anything. Kid can come to ND, play in big games against big teams, get all the exposure he can ask for, and go on to the League in 3 years.

I'm choosing to be an optimist.

ND Rivals, OSU's Eleven Warriors and I believe OSU's Huddle about a week ago. Keeley's been in touch with OSU commit Luke Montgomery with whom he shared his uncle loving OSU
I love when uncles get involved in recruiting. I haven't talked to any of my uncles in 10 years and I don't have a problem with them. They're just uncles.
