Would it surprise anybody if part of the pitch to him was to be the next HC? Kelly will let his contract run down and if he proves himself, he's got it.

Honestly, I've been following recruiting for.... 13 years ish... I don't think I've seen this amount of talent (2023 class) even want to visit ND, let alone just be interested.

Its kind of crazy really. Seems to be lining up that a lot of elite recruits have South Bend or ND connections as well. Bodes well that ND has been in the playoffs 2/3 years too. Lots of on the filed things to sell. Add 4/40 on top of that and there isn't any reason we cant land a top5 class each year. Cant underestimate how important beating Clemson was. I also think it didn't go unnoticed that ND held Bama to its lowest point total in 2+ years. Just a few pieces are missing IMO.

Agree, I think the last few years have been a great selling tool.

What position is he being recruited for?

Will or Mike, I would assume.

He is also a very good baseball player, so Coach Jarrett might try and get in on this as well. He is Notre Dame's best chance of landing a 5 star in the 2023 class.

Bummer that Lee won’t make it but getting Bowen and Bradley on campus for the first day of the month is exciting.

On campus today.

Clemson calls and tries to steal the thunder.

Alright guys, I've got a new issue with the site that I'm running into. On mobile, posts that are only tweet embeds show up as blank. I see them just fine on a desktop browser. Anybody else running into this?

Which mobile browser are you using? I'm using chrome on an Android device and don't have any issues.

Firefox on Android.

Do you have any extensions installed that would be blocking content, AdBlock, etc? I've done some looking around and that is the most common issue. Can you check to see if they are displayed on another browser?

I guess we will see how good a recruiter Freeman is. If he lets this guy get out of state...

Freeman at ISD has mentioned that Drayk really wants to pursue playing both baseball and football in college. And yes, he really is good enough to do both very well apparently. Also mentioned that Ole Miss has done a great job on this front of playing both and has a handful of recent players to point to as having done both successfully. Freeman doesn't fear that we will pursue him in both as well.

Besides Indy and Fort Wayne, I can't remember the last time an Indiana kid was heavily pursued by all the top dogs like this. Maybe David Perkins to an extent? I think the staff has a dog fight on their hands here.

Hopefully proximity to home plays a role. Can’t hurt that both Baseball and Football are having success.

Not a lot of course but there are some This year's Top 2 both had OSU/Bama offers. George Karlaftis. Rondale Moore. Josh Barajas. Gunner Kiel. James Aldridge. Rick Mirer. I'll throw Rex Grossman, Kevin Hardy & I want to say Deke Cooper too but I don't remember.

Visited Tennessee. Not that I think he's going to be a Volunteer, but this tweet just shows how difficult it's going to be to get a kid who can play baseball at this level. Notre Dame baseball is doing some great things, but when a kid goes down south and sees the crazy atmosphere for baseball games in the SEC, it's easy to get sucked in and want to be a part of it.
