So this tweet by Sampson brings up a funny face plant by a 247 national reporter...



It was based on this tweet from 2 days ago...



Not only did he not have us in his top 30, we weren't even in his honorable mention/"teams to watch" list.

The comments are funny. He gets dragged, doubles and triples down before finally admitting he screwed up.

I think we mentioned this in another thread or a few pages back maybe. Yeah, his reasoning in the thread that he left out ND: "Too many questions at QB and WR." Nevermind that USC is in his Top 10 with big questions on that trash defense, and they're without Caleb Williams at QB now. Dude is garbage, he should have just owned up to it instead of doubling down. If anything there's questions at Tackle maybe, but we're returning a solid defense and DC, and upgrade to OC, and almost all other position groups besides Tackle are an upgrade.

Well at least one sports writer believes ND has some game in '24! He has us at #11. Where Notre Dame Ranks in Joel Klatt's College Football Top 25 for 2024

Joker has grown that business.

Clearly opinionated. He has some good people with him like Ryan and the father/son duo.

Kudos to him

I can see not having us in your top 10 or even 15 if you’re a hater. But not ranking Notre Dame in the top 30 suggests to me you like went through a list of P4 conferences and just forgot one of the most popular programs in the sport exists.

It's because ND is irrelevant.

This. When looking at his list of teams and conferences, he obviously forgot to look at the independents. Notre Dame is undoubtedly a top-15 preseason team.

This whole saga was pretty funny. Dude clearly just forgot to include ND in his top 30. Instead of admitting that, he doubled down on it saying he expects them to be top 10 in the fall but just not yet because of questions. He kept getting a bunch of flack and then kind of admitted he screwed up and pulled his post with the top 30.

as they said on hit and hustle, the biggest problem with his top 30 was putting usc at number 8. Give me a break. They don’t play hard, their schedule is brutal and their coaching is not great

Doing something stupid, then refusing to admit you made a mistake and doubling down on it is all the rage these days.

Been listening to a few episodes of II'S new recruiting podcast, tracking the trail with Sinclair and Lloyd's replacement, Eric Thomas.
Thomas seems to offer decent insights. If he can leverage his staff/university connections given his background, he may very well be an improvement to Loy.
