This is such a weird thread. But ok.


The short answer is ND hasn’t been that great in recruiting. Recruits go there for the same reason they go to Any other historically good school, branding and money. Then there’s continuity, no new head coach for a while, recent success. Your uniforms are cool and the amount of Catholic donors in this country is absurd.

Even then, in 2023 ND was behind 6 current SEC schools. 5 SEC schools in 2024. 8 SEC schools in 2025.

They’re having a good 2026 and 2027 cycle, but then again so are a bunch of other teams that haven’t won anything in a while, or ever. I mean texas Tech and Oregon have been doing well too, so congrats on your first top 5 recruiting class I guess.

Freeman is a much better recruiter than Brian Kelly? I’m shocked, I tell you. Not a shot at Freeman as he’s definitely a solid recruiter, but it’s not hard to be a better recruiter than Brian Kelly. LSU sites reported that Kelly spent his time golfing and on the lake rather than recruiting. A traffic cone would put more effort into recruiting than Kelly, so that’s a low bar.
