Hate everything about the new setup and the fact that it now takes more clicks to look at the stuff I want. You guys did realize the whole reason the majority of us came here for years is because it did not change, right? Any ways no need for mods to respond to this as there is nothing you need to say. You can delete it if you want but it’s been weeks and anytime you introduce additional clicks to a user base they should actually make the experience better. What ever you guys did a couple weeks ago made nothing better. Peace out this is my last post. I still might lurk maybe.

Listen to the most recent II podcast and you will hear this again and more detail. They feel Paige is a dude equal to or better than Freeling.

I just don’t agree with them on that. I hope to they prove me wrong. I love HH I think he will continue do an amazing job, but Freeling makes other big athletic freaks look small. Maybe they will be a better group or they play better as a team but Monroe is a different level then all them individually speaking.

I am not saying we are not recruiting other RBs because we obviously are. I just said WE do not know what conversations the coaching staff had with him. 

I am saying according to some ND media insiders we do know what they said and what I posted is what they reported. This is a ND message board to discuss news about ND and that was news I heard from reputable ND reporters.

That’s how rumors get started. We don’t know what he was told, if anything.

There have been reports that he was told that we are looking at 3 other backs and we’re willing to take them all. He understood the message. I guess we will see when the piece comes out but ND insiders have said as much.

Can we add Richard Young to the board. I know he is a long shot but ND is getting an OV which I would think warrants him at least being added to the big board

No matter what, even though it goes on everywhere, it’s never a good look to accept a players commitment and then turn around and tell him that he is no longer wanted. The optics just don’t look good especially when you are telling parents that you are going to love their kids as your own. No parent would pull their own kids scholarship or tell them they are no longer wanted. Again I understand this stuff happens but when your ND and again your recruiting spiel is your kid is going to be loved and taken care of as one of our own kids and then they do this of course people are going to talk shit.

Thanks Big23Head that finally worked on a computer. I still dont know how to do that on my mobile device though. I still don't get the changes but it is what it is. I am not going to go to multiple different sub-forums when every thing used to be in 1 Recruiting forum.

You shouldn't have to visit the subforums. If you click the main board (circled below) that should show everything in recruiting & the subforums. You shouldn't need to click the sub-forums if you don't want to. If the Recruiting board, or any of the sub-forums are bold, just click 'Recruiting Board' and you should be covered.

 

 

You have to visit the sub forums to mark them as read. You can’t mark them all read from just the main recruiting forum.

Try the homepage of the forums for 'Mark as read'. That's typically where I've done it, and it works for me.

Another view that might be worth checking out would be the 'fluid' view. Go to the homepage and click this button (image below). It will change to a fluid view showing topics across the whole board, with new posts on the top. If you like that, it will stay like that unless you click the toggle to change it back.

 

Appreciate the feed back and I will use that to mark everything as read but I like looking at things in different forums. I like switching between general discussion and recruiting. I don’t want to have to go to multiple forums though to see all the recruiting news. It used to be all in one forum. I believe most would agree it’s better that way.

Mark forum as read only works if you go to each recruiting page - 2023,2024,2022. You can’t just go to the recruiting board you have to go to each child. 

Why is there so many different. Recruiting boards? There has always been just one with all the stuff there. Now I have to go to 4 different pages to find unread threads. Please put it back.

I'm thinking he's a step up from Hinish. I never saw Hinish have the first step Wafle has.

Holy crap his dad is fricking huge. This guy has a good shot at hitting 320

The guy is already 6' 3'' 270. He will easily be able to get to 300. I think he is going to be a dominant interior DL. I think Freeman nailed this. His first step is quick, real quick. I love this get and think he is under rated.

I bet that dude is not going to see one snap from the edge, unless its the jumbo package. They are going to put 40 - 50 pounds on that guy and he is going to be a monster in the middle.

I dont care what Brey says... Seems like most of the country feels like this is getting out of control. NCAA was pressured into doing this and Congress is being petitioned to do something about it. 😎

If congress is waisting its time with college football when there are actual things that matter for them to be dealing with then none of this shit matters any way we are all f—-ing dead.

Mike Brey on NIL: “We've got to stop complaining. This is the world we're in, and last time I checked, we make pretty good money. So everybody should shut up and adjust."

You sound like that clown, Kaepernick, comparing NFL with slavery... They are not indentured servants, they got a free college education... voluntarily. Ask majority of college educated people if they would play a sport for their debt to go away.

That “clown” Kaepernick? You sound like an Indiana hick. They were restricted from being paid for services, they were restricted from looking for opportunities and moving positions once at a university without that universities permission. The only compensation they received was only worth something at their current university. They are not compensated for life long debilitating injuries incurred during their playing time. Dude learn how to have a conversation and discuss things without being a douche bag. I know that’s really hard as you can’t keep your worthless political opinions separate from your football discussions. Even though any person for freedom and the free market should be backing these kids if they truly are for free market economics. 
 

Last they don’t get a degree for their play. So that can’t count as payment since they don’t receive it for their play. They receive their degree for the time spent in the class room. The only they are given is free room and board and the possibility of a degree and  that’s only if the university honors a 4 year scholarship and doesn’t decide to pull it.

I am still 100% for players earning a fair price for their services. If the adults can’t figure it out then college football shouldn’t have existed. No organization has the right to use people as indentured servants. Do things need to be worked out sure but I will take todays world over the exploitation of the countries youth and it's greatest athlete's that has taken place for decade over decade. 

Way to early to tell. Who ever puts the team in the best position to win. I have nothing against Angeli. I never understood why so many were against him.

Rankings are subjective, there's almost a year to go, what happens on the field is all that really matters, yadda yadda yadda.... ...You can say what you want, but you're not gonna take away this little shining moment from me......

ND is always number 1 or at least top 5 at some point in every recruiting cycle. Let’s see how they finish.

Dude USC’s spring game is on ESPNews. WTF NBC and ND. Way to diminish your audience size.

Just realized it was premium. What a crock of shit. I guess I’m not watching. I am not paying to watch a practice and the Peacock has nothing else to offer me in order to justify subscribing to that horrendous streaming service. So with that all I can say Is I hope the Irish win.

Didn't see any of those wristbands in his announcement videos yesterday though...

What am I missing? I don’t get the big deal about the wristbands.
