Looks like he can play.

I was going to mention 7 verbal commits in less than a month and "recruiting momentum" next.

Don't forget "Confidence inside the Gug"

BREAKING: Three-Star LB Bodie Kahoun Commits to Notre Dame

Roanoke (Va.) Patrick Henry high school three-star linebacker Bodie Kahoun is the latest class of 2024 prospect to commit to Notre Dame. Kahoun added an offer from the Fighting Irish back on Feb. 7 and quickly saw a bunch of other heavy-hitters jump into the mix. However, in the end it was Notre...

This class should be 30-35 so we will need to take about 10 3 starts to build depth

I keep seeing people post this 30-35 number. Its really not healthy and poor roster management to take that many in a single class

Welcome to Notre Dame Bodie!

Not if you expect 7 - 10 to transfer out or not be on the team, but still be in school, year in and year out, which seems to be the norm now.

It absolutely is if you have 10-20 transfers/deflections every year. 30-35 is more than you would expect to regularly have, but if a lot of players leave or you think will leave you need to over recruit to have a chance. The 30-35 in my mind includes the portal

Excellent!

It was against the rules for years to take that many. Now, with the portal hovering over everything, there's no annual limit. Bet Deon will blow through 30 with ease.

Stack elite athletic traits after elite players. Develop the shit out of them. These guys don’t have any expectation of starting right away so you slow cook them and they’re not flight risks in the portal. Could be the way of the future in this generation of CFB.

 

[Irishdrunk]

"this is not okay"...relaaaxxxxx. It'll work itself out. If Chris Cole and KVA want to come they won't be turned away

Oh for sure. Our LBs in this class are Top 850 and Top 450 players. I am sure it will work itself out.... just not the way we were hoping....

 

[Irishdrunk]

Think this is going to be a big class and Freeman wants insurance in case we can’t hit on some of the high profile LBs.

That is a positive way of looking at it!! Insurance... just not Top 250 LBs like the prior two classes. Hope this stops the hoarding of 3 stars in this class.

 

[Irishdrunk]

Some of the freak outs on other sites are epic right now.

I think people need to realize two facts:

1) ND probably isn’t getting Chris Cole, so saying ND is in a good spot with him probably isn’t true. And ND doesn’t lead for KVA. OSU probably does.

2) Recruiting under Freeman isn’t going to be some magical difference from BK.
BK’s recruiting was a 7. Freeman’s is an 8. BK’s coaching was an 8.5 to 9. Freeman’s is a 7. Things aren’t magically getting better.

Yea the Coaching thing will be the thing to be proved by MF over the next season or two. The recruiting, at best, is marginally better than BK. Whether its bad timing with NIL, Transfer Portal, Admin Bullshit...whatever. We are still in the same recruiting aisle.

 

[Valpodoc85]

Colorado will have an issue in the clubhouse. It will be interesting to see how they install culture. If I was king, I would want a core of players committed to the university thru thick and thin. Then a players come and go in the portal the culture will be unchanged. Think of a dozen new high profile players showing up with their own ideas on commitment and discipline

Finally!!! 😂, thank you much!

 

[WilliamWallace]

Gotta admit I like him, even if he’s more developmental than polished. He’s got a nose for the ball (in the limited amount of footage) and he’s not afraid of contact. Quick, and smart, also has size. He’s ND so… congratulations dude, and welcome to the team. Probably a quicker Bertrand, and bigger Kiser in my comp., nothing wrong with that.

[T-Boone]

Anyone got an opinion on him on the field?
Congratulations to the young man.

 

[Giddyup]

I hear Bodie I think of..

 

[MacIrish75]

Whenever we hear about these LAX guys who are also football prospects, I immediately think of Sam Hubbard. Give me all the guys with the athletic traits and let’s coach ‘em up.

A 4.55 40 tells me he isn't slow. The fastest 40 for LB's in the 2023 draft was 4.39 and 6 LB's ran slower than 4.55, with some good conditioning and quickness training he can improve on that 40.

I gotta believe 4.55 40 time for a lb at the combine would be slightly better than or at minimum right around average

 

[irishandy]

On the final star rankings I don't think he'll end up being a 3*, kid has potential to rise.

Welcome to the family Bodie!

He didn’t rise, good call. Maybe, he’s just not that good and ND was Fuckin stupid for taking his & Rezac’s commitment

Did not know he’s just learning his position

They compared Bodie to Bertrand very early on in his recruitment and I think it's a great comparison. Bertrand plays faster than he may run and Bodie plays very fast on film. The difference being Bodie is bigger. Which could make a difference. But, if the floor of the room are bigger versions of Kiser and Bertrand. While the ceiling are Sneed, KVA, etc. That is an extremely good spot to be.

Plus I believe he’s only played LB in 5 games…..…it’ll be fun to watch his film this fall as he really settles in.
