They did what everyone expected not only what they couldn’t, but WOULDN’T do. Huge step.

Kind of sounds like what I was speculating earlier about. ND wanted to see what LSU would do and then counter. Getting that number allows them to go to the brass and say look, this is who we want and this is what we'll need to do in order to get him. Sounds like they ponied up and got him.

Big time move.

 

[SoIll]

knew it, knew it all along lol. Sounds like admin nutted up?

 

[Henges24]

Let’s go!

 

[Free Manera]

Holy shit. Yes.

 

[FDNYIrish1]

This is good news. Was very impressed with his defense against Georgia. Nice to win the big game hunt.

 

[pumpdog20]

Oh shit!!! Get your freaking cold cuts!!!

 

[tussin]

Let’s go

 

[IrishFanJMercy]

Damn wow I’m
Shocked ND admins finally said fuck if they probally figured the extra salary was worth not having to lose Mickens as well. First thing freeman needs to Explore is the transfer market would
Love to add a DE and few DB’s

 

[TorontoGold]

ND continues the streak over LSU, rekt

 

[Riddickulous]

This is 100% one of the things Kelly got in his contract if we counter offered greater than LSU. Not to get lost in this too, we likely keep Mickens now.

Big time get, let’s hope he works out as well we all expect him.


I don’t know much about him truthfully, is he considered an elite recruiter?

 

[Sea Turtle]

This is great! We got the guy we wanted.

 

[GATTACA!]

Yes

 

[NDRock]

Just when I think I’m out, they pull me back in! Great job Brian Kelly and Notre Dame!

As usual, I was wrong.

This is huge. Next year will be challenging and it was important not to lose the momentum of the last four years. Great job ND!

Those in the recruiting world think so. It's all about projection because it's kind of hard to judge his classes relative to ND's. That's what happens when you recruit at a non-P5 school in Ohio. But, will his style, work ethic, and demeanor translate to this level? And, the answer seems to be a resounding yes. He seems like a very charismatic dude which is really all recruiting comes down to. Well, that and work ethic.

 

[irish o'phile]

So, is Elston staying? I imagine Mickens is a lock. I wonder who else is on the staff?

 

[zelezo vlk]

Cool beans

 

[ryno 24]

Real Impressive by Kelly and the University. They went out on a limb and did a real good job. Also this a very good coordinator and if I may I would say he is the best recruiter Notre Dame has had since probably at least the Holtz Era ( Which doesnt feel like it but has been 30 years).

 

[Blazers46]

Two great hires/signings today.

1. Freeman to ND

2. Harbaugh staying at UM

I might buy a lottery ticket today.

 

[BilboBaggins]

Seems like a big litmus test passed by the administration.
