[irish o'phile]

How else is a fanbase going to react?

 

[IrishFanForever23]

Loy reporting he thinks ND and Swain will part ways soon.

Any more insight that you are able to share?

Didn’t provide any really.

Just tweeted that it's official. Not surprised. Hasn't been to campus forever

 

[IrishSpartan]

He supposedly wants a bag

He supposedly wants a bag

Why wouldn't he. I think any kid should go for a bag while they can. ND needs to play ball or become... IDK Stanford or mid tier.

I don't agree with the way things are now, but it's the world we live in

Who doesn't want the bag...

 

[NDFAN2008]

Two years in a row we lose our top committed DE guy

 

[calvegas04]

Come on MF, your whole thing was recruiting

 

[NDFAN2008]

Until ND starts offering up front money for NIL this will continue to happen we will be stuck with a bunch of 3-4 star guys

 

[Luckylucci]

Good riddance. Don’t have time for recruitments like these and it sounds like the staff won’t be wasting their time either.

 

[CanadalovesND]

They'll be fine. It's really early in the 2024 cycle, they will rebound. Singer just put in predictions for the Smith brothers out of Connecticut.

At this point, I'd be all for ND alumni/boosters giving kids the bag like what happens at other schools. If the NCAA won't punish them then it's fair game, right?

MF looking to enhance the roster and recruiting

 

[IrishSpartan]

We need to recruit beasts on the line. First off the bus types

 

[NDFAN2008]

Both smith brothers are higher ranked so hopefully we can land them

 

[rtrn2glory]

I really don't think this kid ever truly understood what the word "commitment" even means

 

[Blazers46]

Loyal to the bag!! One reason I fell in love with college football was the feeling of players being committed to the team and the cause. It’s quickly becoming a salary capless professional sport with 1 year contracts.

Seemed like a high minded ideal when in truth they just didn’t have any options.

 

[Crazy Balki]

I don't think this was the bag. I think he was just high on Michigan and chose now to jump ship.

 

[stpeteirish]

Harbaugh probably doesn't seem like such a jerk now that he's won like 25 games in the last two years.

 

[tko]

Good luck kid

Any ideal can seem high minded until you add options. For example I did marriage counseling for years. Reality is most are faithful until their options change. Sometimes cheating isn’t an option because it just isn’t… but when it becomes an option and there is a chick offering you more “NIL” than your spouse 🤷‍♂️. And often times when you do go for the “bag” you usually wind up in the transfer portal pretty quick.

Yep. Usually having too many options is not a positive for people. Think Chris Rock used to joke about a man being as faithful as his options. Often true.

😂 Replace sex for NIL and that’s recruiting in 2022!!

 

[laughingirish90]

really surprised by this because he grew up a big ND fan from what i heard this past summer

 

[INLaw]

Yeah NIL gonna seep down to high school juniors and sophomores quicker than anticipated

Or maybe even seep up. Can see a lot more professional players down the road holding out for more money, contacts be damned.
