ND hoops recruiting

Big east bball better than acc
it certainly might be now...

but the point was the move to the acc was MBB related and nothing else.

Hockey big 10
WBB who cares..not saying that maliciously but they can play wherever and be fine
Baseball not big enough to worry about
Football cherish the independence
Wrestling? LOL
Lacrosse...again they can play wherever and be fine
volleyball..who cares
fencing? meh

that leaves MBB
and the move to the acc was suicide for that program.

New WR offer Antwaun Parham

No not at all. There's players I wouldn't even have allowed to commit in this class if I was coach. So dumb comment

Now back to actual substance

There is only 1 position on the roster that MF will not have signed a player I would consider elite and that is DT

Carr
Love
Williams
Flanigan
Lambert

Young
KVA
Gray
Blair

Some positions have multiple but I got every position except for DT
I thought Vernon might address the dt void. Perhaps two years from now we’ll be singing Dixon’s praises.

One of Carr, Minchey or Angeli should be ready to take over in '25. We don't need another transfer IMO. I guess Freeman didn't think those guys were ready yet this year, but they should be next year.
I think it's possibly a tough call, depending on who's available. And I guess how good the incumbents appear to to progressing. Of course that's my speculation. But I suppose, it's time to let the guys already on the roster have a turn.

Marcus Freeman indeed has problems signing elite players at certain positions.

You don’t believe that because you consider all Notre Dame players elite.

Meadows I thought was going to really put it together with all his talent but he's still a project player as well. Elite upside but not much production at all. Is it the system, is it the QB or is it him? I'm not sure but if we get Meadows I wouldn't count on him next year at least
Their QB is good, but has thrown only 103 passes in nine games. The other wr is a burner, and typically has five plus yards separation on his defender, making him an easy target and a TD machine. I still think Meadows is elite and hope like hell he flips. Can’t disagree that he might not make significant contributions until his sophomore year, but as you say, elite upside.

I wish I could share that optimism but unfortunately until it happens I will continue to blame the ACC move.

Remember the success we had early in the ACC were with Big East recruited players.
Basketball is very much a me first sport. Why come here and have to constantly play the toughest basketball conference 2/3rds of the schedule.
@ ND... the sports go..
Football...




Hockey/WBB
MBB/lacrosse
Baseball

My point is WBB, MBB all would've been fine in another conference. It hasn't hurt UCONN and in hindsight that's exactly where our basketball teams should be. Back in the Big East.

Hockey competes in the Big10

New WR offer Antwaun Parham

We’re pretty late to the dance with these last minute efforts. The fact is we struck out on our top three targets, and we’ve been struggling since to make this up. Richardson may in fact be a project, but I love his potential and considered his commitment As a huge plus. Burress is having a really good season and I think we have a very good get with him. This latest offer will likely result in a commitment. Parnham is tall, runs a very good 40, and appears pretty athletic. But, his ranking is very weak as is his offer list. We can’t keep looking for diamonds in the rough to fill needs. Hope we pull off a flip with Meadows; and as you say, Golden might be our most talented receiver in this class, even though recruited as a DB.
I also feel Jack Larsen could be a border WR instead of TE. If worse comes to worse. Portal might have some steals too. It's a sad statement that ND had 30-40 looks at wrs and not a bite except Burris, Bettis and now Richardson. Something needs to shape up in that wr area.

WBB: observations from exhibition vs Davenport

#5 - Quality depth was one of our biggest strengths coming into this season. With this being the 2nd season in row with more injuries than typical, I wonder if there's some problem in the training approach that needs to be worked out.

It would be easier if we had a soft start and could count on most players to work back into the rotation before the toughest part of the schedule comes. But we have three top 5 opponents before Christmas. Yikes!
Yep. May have to get e in march

Where are all the Riley critics?

I think we’re in a place now where Golson and 88 are both right. RL has improved. He’s a good runner, but is he elite? We won’t know unless he can do it in a playoff game. His arm has improved, but he needs to do that in a playoff game also. If he doesn’t throw that pick against NIU, he’s undefeated. Same, he can carry the team but we’ll see if he can do it at usc and the postseason.

Overall, I’m glad he’s at ND and I’m excited for the rest of the season.

[/QUOTE]
I only talk that way to posters who make ridiculously stupid posts and points like yourself

I've had many good football arguments with Telx and many others on here.

When we have trolls and people on here who make stupid comments and points I respond as such.

I think you are clueless about the game of football
Yet, you engage with Chaseball regularly, who regurgitates the same stupid comments daily, weekly and monthly, and you keep his troll act alive.

So go figure.

You're dumb. (End of post)
They suck. (End of post)
🤣 (End of poat)
That idea is stupid (End of post)

No matter who the engagement is with it's simply blurting our sonething a teeny bopper would say.

Maybe you find juvenile responses and quips substantive contributions and that's perfectly satisfactory...

The beauty is we can simply disagree.

Perhaps those posting awards Rivals gives out are highly cherished by that poster. Maybe he's making up for tee ball trophies missing in the attic.?.

Recruiting and actually signing elite players at certain positions is difficult for Marcus Freeman, just like it was for Brian Kelly.
