And a $400k head start helps overcome a disadvantage from getting a degree from a school with less academic prestige 

Absolutely.....though many pro's end up broke.  The reality is the easy path for many leads to bad decisions.

Lot's of visitors today and there should be lots of film to post with the media allowed in for the entire session.  Let's Go Irish!

Good article....obviously Brian left ND with some talent....Marcus is adding to it...time will tell. Still think with either we have missed out on those 5 stars ND needs to really compete to win a Championship and not just appear in one.  I do however think if ND gets it's act together with NIL then we will have a chance.

Rudolph knows him well...that being said hoping for a big deserving boost in his ranking otherwise this is not the star level ND should even be offering on the offensive line.  Let's see some pictures of Mom and Dad.....

@1Redrum good stuff!

 

Can I put you in charge of starting a thread on the days they let the media in for 5 periods. 

 

March 25

April 1st

April 14th thanks.

 

I also have a spring practice index here:  

 

I will put it in my calendar! 

Good article. Recaps the practice, number changes and roster.  Not sure why we have two offensive players wearing #0 though.

Graduate from ND...compete.   If he is any good he would be the leader in the clubhouse to start in 2024 and if not transfer and play a couple more years potentially somewhere else.  He is one snap away from being the starter in 2023.

Not anymore it seems.

InsideNDSports - Notre Dame won't host Maryland transfer OL Mason Lunsford (rivals.com)

Sounds like it will not be Luke / choosing to stay retired and or at least not work at ND. 

Honestly love a coach with experience who also has ties / is from the south.  

Do we know when this is getting announced?  Lookin to announce all three at once thus the delay? They already know what they need to know about Parker. 

Ludwig if he will leave Utah seems like the right coach if we want someone to stick around.   Brady will come and go fairly quickly which again if it is after success not a big deal as program will be stocked and ready for whoever is next.

Just saw an update that they're hoping to start interviews by next week and currently conducting phone calls. 

 

Technically it says mid to late week...which I take to mean this week.  We will see but if someone has interest better now than later for the interview.   Knowing ND it may take a few weeks to be "official"

All is not lost. Rather have him take his time than flip. No reason to be upset about a kid wanting to at least hear what the national champs have to offer. 

Honestly I would take my visits.  I would get it out of the way early enough but why turn down steakhouses, nice hotels and co-eds? 

Delaying his commitment.  Not good news for the Irish.

Justin Scott visiting ND on Sunday (1/22) per ISD

https://irishsportsdaily.com/s/19824/elite-2024-dl-target-justin-scott-previews-notre-dame-return

Now moved to next Sunday.  Mostly weather related I believe. 

Sorry....Neighbourhood as the King intended.  

Why are we still visiting 2023 signees?  If in the neighbourhood why not but just seems strange to me.   I guess with his late signing maybe Freeman did not do an in home previously?

Funny because that’s what I thought may happen all along with a place like ND. If you are that close to an ND degree why would you transfer for playing time. Excellent way for ND to go about. 
Can walk-ons play with out a scholly?  
It be interesting if ND could convince guys to stay, lose out on your scholly((NIL Im sure would pay for tuition), AND still be on the team as a walk-on. Is that even possible?  Talk about Grey-shirting or whatever. 

Interesting take and why not?  We have a guy like Powlus on scholarship even though he would be eligible for free tuition anyways.  What I think NIL will do is make your team better by keeping mid to late round picks a year longer as they have the opportunity to make similar money. Hartman assuming he would be drafted in last round (think Brock Purdy) would make $78,000 guaranteed...and then say total of $800,000 if you make and stay with the team all year.  Hartman likely makes more at ND this year thus the reason he is here.
