Freeman recruiting at levels ND has never seen before clocking in at…..#11.

It’s still way better than a Kelly class, but yes, they need to do better. If they keep Bowen & Keeley, they’re around top 5. Pay the 5* recruits.

Seems to be right on par with a Kelly class. Similar overall score and similar average player rating.

No, it would be Kelly’s 2nd highest rated class during his tenure at ND. The Blue Chip ratio is near 80%.

I assume you’re crediting Freeman with the 2022 class? Fair, he closed it.
Omar

Yes, because he kept it together. He was also responsible for landing their highest rated recruit in that class. Freeman needs to do better reeling truly elite players, but all reports are he works infinitely harder than Kelly as a recruiter.

Fair enough, looking through the previous 5 years I credited it to Kelly since he built it as HC and was there for 98% of the race. But won’t argue giving it to Freeman.

Tommy Rees being a top candidate for Alabama OC is kind of surprising.
I guess we’ll see what happens. Wouldn’t be great to lose a coordinator this late in the game.

He’s also not Saban’s first choice, the OC from Washington turned him down.
I’m more indifferent on Rees right now. I wanted him to go before he got Minchey & Hartman to commit. Now, I’m interested to see what he could do with a good QB. At the same time, he was largely responsible for why the QB room was so bad this yr.

Rees is headed to Bama.
A friend pointed out two ways this could be positive:
1. Rees learns under the best HC in the game, does well, and eventually becomes worthy of future Notre Dame head coach consideration.
2. He doesn’t work out and leads to further weakening of the Alabama powerhouse.
Of course, those only are a net positive if Freeman makes the right hire for the next OC.

Too bad Rees didn’t wait one more year to leave. Then ND could’ve scooped up Ryan Day as the new OC in 2024 after Ohio State fires him in December.

I’m more worried about how a s**tty some of their recent offers are. We were told Freeman would not be recruiting these 3* scrubs.

These are Kelly & Clark Lea level players. Freeman needs to do better.

Correct. I’ve verified through my sources that ND matched Alabama’s offer.
Rees will be an NFL HC in 5 years.

I wonder if Joe Brady would be at all realistic if he’s still just a QB coach in Buffalo.

Feels like a big opportunity for Notre Dame to upgrade their OC position. I can't believe Alabama hired Tommy Rees.

Some of these kids you call s**tty and scrubs have already accomplished more in their sports life than you. How about you back off and be less of a d*ck? These are kids. For what it's worth James Lauranitis was a 3-star scrub. So were plenty of other All Americans.

That’s the normie college football fan fallacy. There’s thousands of 3* in each class. Of course some will hit. The problem is you only hear about those who hit and not the vast majority who never do anything.

He was their 3rd choice. Let’s not pretend like they were beating down the doors at ND to get him.

Not thrilled with this kid or Hobbs from Moeller. They need to flip Beasley from Tennessee
