De-commit

Explain “mutual”. Why would ND not want him? Sounds like bs.

In other words, if any kid likes the idea of NIL money, bye bye. Now we just won’t let you wait 9 months and then screw us.

You don't know the meaning of the word ? This has been coming for a few weeks now. Not a surprise to anyone in the know.

It's a shame Freemans staff didn't have a chance to recruit a few classes before nil. Imho, they would have landed some special program changing talent.
They are still doing some great work. One of the best recruiting staffs out there. ND needs to figure out this new Era. Not only do you need to recruit high school talent, you need to recruit the portal and re-recruit your own talent every year
 
Mutual decision.
Mutual because they knew he wanted out, just because they knew about it doesn’t mean it’s good or all is good


DE has been a strength for about 5 years and may become our weak link next few years

They agreed with it. It wasn't a one way decision.

My understanding is because we have time and some other options we didn’t push back …. My sense is staff would rather move on now than in 9 months possibly
 
Notre Dame will be fine they are in with multiple d line prospects of a similar level.
 
ND either gets with the NIL era or they will be mediocre like they have been for 30 years. No conference to play for and they talk like they expect a championship every year. Academics is not NDs issue, it’s stubborn and greedy old curmudgeons that don’t like Jumbotrons and NIL. Basically we hate change. A lot of old fat Swarbrick types that make millions off of over zealous fans that they make a living conning out of money. Ignorant old donors that think we are still running the triple option or that hiring the right coach will make the difference.

Always nice to get the opinion of Ross Perot.😛
 
lol on those getting panties in a bunch …he was trending away by his behavior and it’s good both parties agreed to move on now

We are in on NIL. We're never going to give players money to get them to come here. Not going to happen

Can anyone tell me what ND is not doing at the ground level, on NIL.

Brady Quinn is very involved, and I feel very confident that whatever is happening on the "ground level..." with regard to NIL is in Notre Dame Football's best interest.

Nothing.

Brady Quinn, yes. But, ND is not doing what every single other school is or will be doing. Essentially, ND is finding a way to remain status quo, survive, and win 8-10 games so they can still sell merch and tickets.

Glad you have it all figured out. Saves us some time thinking about it.

ND players get paid via nil. They do have to do work usually with a charity or passion project for the player. There are also multiple smaller deals individuals are making. What ND is not doing is guaranteeing an nil deals for recruits in an effort to lure them in. Ie "if you sign you get a 100000 nil deals". ND is not the only school taking this route which is the way nil was created... Michigan, Penn State for sure are among others are also not buying players...and yes I'm sure their players have substantial nil deals.
 
Ohio State warned us that Al Washington was a bad DL coach and an over rated recruiter. Weak link imo. Freeman needs a change up.
 
Very, entire dline took a step back this year and recruiting is not anything special
recruiting is close to elite and the defense was one of the 5 best in the nation! are you watching the wrong channel?

The dline was not good this year. We basically had to shoot Marist into the line every play to maintain the line. We were simply undersized in the middle for the scheme we ran, and the edge vyper spot was unimpressive.

Forget what association it was but ND DL was ranked top 20. So it was pretty good, not great. I think Marist was a liability

Our resident expert chimes in.

Thank You.
I can't figure out why we even get worked up about wins and losses with the next class in December. 2023 is all that matters right now.

So playing for two National Championships in the last 10 years is “mediocre” ?

But I do agree that ND has to embrace NIL

Would you please identify the “stubborn and greedy old curmudgeons that don’t like Jumbotrons and NIL” that you cited. I’d like to know exactly who they are.

FYI I volunteered to start a Capital campaign for jumbotrons in the stadium over a dozen years ago.

Thanks

THAT IS ABSOLUTELY INCORRECT !

AND I HAVE THAT FROM AN ND SOURCE

BASICALLY, YOU DON‘T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT !

I'd love to see where you found that. Foskey went for likely first rounder to maybe A third rounder depending on testing, we had a mid year transfer out, a Harvard grad transfer played well for us. My guess is the rankings you are looking at was preseason.
Marist wasn't a factor because he was ran straight into a blocker every play because the middle of the line couldn't hold up. The idea was that the tackles would eat up two blockers and Marist would be free to be disruptive in the backfield. He never made it there because blockers were always prepped and waiting for him

Has to be pre season

Recruiting is close to elite but it’s not partially do to dline recruiting

So you’re saying you found a stat that says our d was top 5 despite giving up about 330 yards a game and 22 ppg while finishing probably close to 50th with rush D? Please share

I am not disagreeing with Mirer03. IT did look to me like Marist was blitzing and just couldn't get through because they knew he was coming.
