Until we but into the fact that we have to start paying these high school kids before they take a snap for us we'll never recruit as well as we need to in order to compete for Natty's

He turned around USC in a year by doing what he had to do. He beat ND. He is a QB's coach, experienced, works hard and knows his stuff. I like Freeman but I'd take Riley any day over him. Riley is one of the top 7 coaches in college football according to many sites. Freeman has yet to prove a thing.
He also couldn’t beat Utah in two tries and lost to Tulane in a bowl game. How many kids on the roster at Tulane or even Utah get offered scholarships at USC?
Riley is an excellent QB coach but I’d slow my roll on the rest of it. Time will tell who made the better hire last season.

Over under on USC wins last year if they didnt have Caleb Williams, didnt buy Jordan Addison and a few others along with many other transfers that Marcus Freeman did not have the luxury of? I’ll say 6.5

Being in Texas, I have a LOT of lifelong Sooner fans, and they were all pretty happy to see him go realizing he would never field a championship caliber defense or have his teams competitive in games they didnt have a large talent advantage in.

Sadly they did have CW and bought players. Imagine if ND bought a good QB… fans might be upset 😉

How glorious would it be if Williams gets an ankle sprain a few weeks into the season and decides to shut it down to prepare for the draft?

Win and they will come in droves. This has always been the case. MF is visibly putting in the effort past HC have not.

For complainers, 1-800-WAAH. After the call, have your mother make you a sandwich (and one for me as well).

It’s kinda weird, actually. In recent past, defensive recruiting was ahead of the offense. Both the offense and defense add/drop a few staff members, and now roles have flipped. I will always vote to have stronger offensive recruiting than defensive. You can’t win a playoff game if you don’t score points.

Insiders are starting to look at “athletic traits” for the defensive recruits. I think I remember them doing the same in recent years for the offensive recruits, when offensive recruiting was slacking.

Fill me in fellas, do we suck again? Cuz all the ignored accounts are filling up my screen. 🤣😂
This place is a dog kennel full of dog shit all because of a bunch of tier 6 dog shit posters. I can think of 4 posters specicfically. Absolute trash and there should be an IE tampon vending machine so that their panties don’t get saturated by the 5 month long period they’re all having together.

Quite the comment from the biggest idiot on this site, what are YOU going to do about it! It's July, we aren't pivoting to Smith/Wesco/Wingo to replace Canionion! Freeman was a terrible hire!

I’m going to live my life and watch a bunch of “grown men” piss their pants over the decisions of some 17/ 18 year old high schoolers who have money on the mind. Going to have a buzz the whole time and just laugh at how pathetic some are…..
And to the “biggest idiot” comment, you win…..😉

I would pay real life money to see any of the doom and gloom breakfast club to participate in below IE gameshow. Winner gets a crowd funded golden tampon engraved with "the most honest truth teller".

"Are you smarter than a tier 6 IE poster? The new gameshow which pits middle aged men (that presumably have college education) against each other to spell players from the program they seemingly follow as if their life depends on it. Gholosin, Chryst, Reese and many other greatest hits!"

ADs can’t ban annoying af posters on this board.
What does that say about you when you’re annoyed with posters that have played the game at this level?

Too many are enamored by freeman. He did ok at best last year and isn’t doing that good recruiting lately. He got Hartman, unbelievable move that sets this team up to be really good. Only the coaching staff can hold this team back.

This will be the deepest, most talented team we field over the next 3 years. I said 11-1 or better before the 2015, 2018, 2021, and now 2023 season. So far I’m 2 for 3. This will be our best oline and dline for awhile(unless they get alt back… slim to no chance)

Hilarious that you’re annoyed with someone expecting a great season.

"Alexa, why is the talent on the 2023 team higher than it's been in a long time?"
"Marcus Freeman hired January 8th, 2021 has lead Notre Dame to improving it's BCR from 56% in 2020 to 66% in 2023. Once the 2024 recruiting class signs it will be replacing the incredible 18th ranked 2020 signing class from dynamite recruiter Brian Kelly, it will surely see another bump upwards"

How many freeman recruits will be starting this year? Probably 3 from the portal and 1 or 2 true recruits…. Freeman helped build the depth but didn’t build the talent.

This is a Kelly team that freeman made a couple great gets in the portal to enhance it and make it Championship caliber in my opinion.

We will not have this the next 2 years when all the Kelly recruits go pro, specifically on the lines.

I don’t like Kelly, and think freeman can be better. But it has to be this year. It’s set up for it. Don’t get to play Ohio state and Clemson often with inexperienced qbs.

Georgia famously has won back to back NC's from having precisely 22 players.
