‘27 IL DL David Folorunsho (Offer)

[allenm5333]

Called ND his “dream school” and it would seem Miami and ND are a notch above anyone else. They’re also his last two visits and he seems like a very impressionable kid.

Enjoyed his time and meeting Partridge and seeing how he would be used in the defense which was described as 3T and big end.

My own opinion, I think he ends up at ND. I think he’s enjoying the process and schools are throwing big money around and it’s enticing but a lot to sort though.

No intel. But i think Partridge could be what wins this. His coaching chops and player development are huge here. “I know what those schools are offering you now. Oh i got a call ‘Deforest Buckner? Nice to hear from you. I just got off the phone with Trey Hendrickson”…

 

[IRISHbluehen]

He also stated that NDs NIL offer is very comparable to his other top choices and he has no concerns about that

 

[arrowryan]

Dream school is basically a kiss of death

 

[NDPhilly]

You don’t overspend on Lopati so you can spend it on a kid like this. Let’s make it happen.

 

[NDhoosier]

IB believes the "highest bidder" rumor is not true and that Folorunsho told the staff that it will not be the deciding factor; the media is simply running with things. Him saying the ND offer is comparable probably means it is close enough for it come down to the schools itself.

Can you clarify things:

• Where is the highest bidder rumor?
• Where is the offer being comparable from?

- All over the internet
- Not sure I understand the question.... Miami and A&M I think is the answer you are looking for

My bad. Who is reporting our offer is comparable?*

Kyle Kelly had a great interview with him yesterday, I came away with a much better feeling than I previously had.

If Notre Dame is right on page for pay I don't see how they lose out this one. Notre Dame has the bigger exposure, better brand, better coach, better DL coach, close to home, better degree. What more could a kid want.

Let him wear 9 to honor Zibby too

 

[MeanGreenBeans]

I agree with this to a point, but there should be salary caps along with the 1x transfer rule they’re instituting. There has to be some guardrails to this thing.

So the SEC can violate the salary caps while teams like ND play by the rules? No thanks. And let me know when coaches have a 1x restriction on switching jobs.

 

[MeanGreenBeans]

yes a salary cap to go with a 1x transfer would put me all aboard with the NIL thing, look coach Saban part left college football because this NIL stuff was getting out of hand

I've said it once and I'll say it again: Fuck Nick Saban and his whining bullshit. I couldn't care less what his cheating ass thinks about the current landscape of college football.

 

[MeanGreenBeans]

All true. But 99% of these athletes will do nothing remotely close to that. Virtually all will end up wasting it away.

That's the other side of economic freedom and it's their decision to make.

Bryan Driskell believes its not about money? Just like when said its not about money for Keon, Dante, Duece, etc etc
Shocked

 

[RudyVerse]

It’s always about money. So if the podcaster said that, they just mean it’s not guaranteed to be the highest bidder and/or the highest bidder isn’t so far beyond the group that it’s THE factor.

It’s all about the Benjamins boys.

 

[NDhoosier]

That isn't true. Half of the 2026 class had higher offers out there than what ND offered.

You know this how?

 

[NDPhilly]

As can’t miss as it gets these days considering school, HC, and position of need

Miami and Tech are likely going to have former DL's name called this Thursday night.

Committing May 15th

 

[IRISHbluehen]

Dang it i was just thinking walking the dog that I didnt think he would wait until OVs

May avalanche?? 👀👀

 

[arrowryan]

Is May going to be the month?

 

[rtrn2glory]

Is he ours too?

 

[Dale]

Miami or ND

 

[notredomer23]

Is he the Justin Scott that was promised?

 

[NDFAN2008]

Committing May 15th

Gotta be good for us

 

[KPENN]

His last two visits were ND and the last one was his mom. Make of that what you will

 

[allenm5333]

Cmon down Julius, Cooper, Parks, and Williams

 

[Irish Man3]

He’s already had money thrown at him by TT and Miami. ND is competitive on that side of things so I don’t think a late offer will sway this. Following the visits and interviews after his ND visit with his mom, you have to feel good about this one.
