I didn’t attend ND, but as a sub alum, I can’t advocate for the BoT lowering themselves to the levels of TN, ATM, etc, so early into the infancy of NIL. We don’t know how this is going to pan out in the next 3-5 years. By all accounts, FUND is a legitimate operation based on showing recruits what their anticipated earnings could be once they arrive as a student athlete. Fucking Braden Lenzy is featured in a national ad campaign for Dicks. It’s working and is legitimate and above board.
That doesn’t sound very Catholic to me
It’s actually a MonkeyPox PSA, it’s fine.
So NIL is legit now. So it's not lowering any standard. It's a function of Capitalism, suppy and demand and perceived value And 250 k a year is chump change for ANY 5 star in the top 10 of his recruiting class. You hit it on the head, that's exactly what they will do. Stand pat and watch. And another 3 decades will roll by and they will Watch, instead of being progressive. It's not lowering any standard, it's the cost of business
Yep, I like the hire of golden big time and I think Rees is fine, but I have zero confidence in freeman coaching. Recruiting and leading players and coaches are his strength I see. How unprepared our D was game 1 vs FSU has me really concerned for Ohio state.
I think the first part of his comment was valid, but I don’t think the db had anything to do with Freeman. If anything, Freeman is why we kept the class intact. That said, I agree that I have 0 faith in Freemans ability to coach. I’ve never seen it. Maybe he will be great. Maybe not. I literally have no idea. I like the hire bc he’s supposed to close the talent gap. If he can’t do that, I don’t like his chances at ND. He gets ‘24 b4 he’s fully judged in recruiting. As of now, it’s a big boost. If he can’t close, it’ll be BK level recruiting. He was not hired to outwit Day, Dabo, Riley. He was hired to recruit at their level. People like to compare MF hire to Day, Dabo, Riley, etc. as first time coaches to justify why he will be elite. However, all of those first time coaches recruit better than ND has in 30 years. They win bc they are elite recruiters or hire elite recruiters.
I posted what i saw on MY FEED, didn't go through a recruits tweets...but following recruiting long enough you watch what they do, not what they say....so i am glad your laughing your ass off, it's friday...cheers to the weekend
If he’s liking ND stuff and responding to our recruits publicly, that’s always a good sign. If that isn’t happening, they’re usually gone. It’s a very good strategy to feel the waters when nobody knows anything. For instance, Hanafin last post was a retweet of he and Vizzina in Clemson jerseys instead of responding to our receivers tweeting at him to come home. That’s when I knew he was gone. I didn’t need to listen to Driskell assure everyone he’s leaning ND.
Fat Soup Nazi said Notre Dame Insider said that the staff isn’t worried their top recruit is visiting Bama - so all is good!
The university and the football program have different boards.
What?
I'm sure it's strategic on Bama's part but sucks that this is happening right at the start of a dead month.
It’s basically an OV disguised as an unofficial.
To the local gas station for a sandwich.
