    Kid is our best RB prospect we’ve had in a while. I loved Jadarian Price, too, but Love has more wiggle (or at least showed that in his film when Price didn’t need to). Kid could be special behind our OL

    Yeah, in all honesty, with the numbers and highlights Edwards was producing down the stretch, he's legit. I think his size will make him more of a gadget/role player than an every down positional player, but hell, that's what the Rocket was, if we're honest. He can still make a huge impact in that role.

    I love him as a prospect but he is going to need a good OL in front of him

    I’m not sure he will have that at Colorado

    Play him in the slot and throw him now screens or put him in motion to either run end-arounds or throw to him on the move. Also use him in the return game. He's not a kid they'll use him traditional ways.

    3 star DL from St. X commits to Elston. Will be interesting to see how he progresses, but seems like we have like a dozen guys above him on the board

    Over the last two recruiting cycles ND signed 38 (4 star or better players) and lost zero to transfering out, that's a pretty impressive haul as I went and calculated this for some teams (Texas A&M unsurprisingly was most affected by the portal):

    Bama signed 50
    UGA signed 49
    Ohio St signed 39
    Texas signed 39
    ND is at 5th at 38
    Texas A&M 35
    OU 33
    Penn State 32
    Clemson 29
    Oregon 29
    LSU 24
    Michigan 19
    USC 15


    Its the Moneyball path to roster construction and it makes sense. ND isn't going to collect top 50 kids like UGA or Bama but they can try to find the aggregate that gets them closer. I really believe in the Blue Chip Ratio, it clearly works. If ND can continue to collect as many top 300 kids as possible, develop the hell out of the roster, redshirt and process, and sprinkle grad transfers from the portal you can see the path. By 2024 this would create a 70%+ BCR roster (by 2025 its well over 80%). Bama was at 91% this past year, UGA 77% for reference, I understand the SEC BCR prospects would be better than ND's that why it super important to push the aggregate as high as possible.

    ND needs to average 18 4 star or better recruits per class and they need to bring in roughly 4 (4 star grad transfers) per year. I think this is entirely possible- anything you get out of 3 star recruits or PWO's is just gravy. Bring up the aggregate, let Freeman keep cooking on the trail

    I wonder if Raridon will get an extra year of eligibility due to his injury. These two on the field together would be absurd athleticism for TE play

    If Raridon is as good as we’re hoping there’s no way he stays an extra year. Probably a good chance he’s even done after three years.

    isn’t Carr’s teammate a top 250ish player nationally at TE? Curious if his not having an offer yet means they’re confident on Nelson or if they’re just slow playing it because they already have Larson in the fold

    I don't think so. They can transfer or stay at ND with academic scholarships. Apparently new HCs get a year where they can transition players to academic scholarships while they remake their rosters. "Soft cuts" if you will.

    Is he still saying it? On the pod they made it sound like they'd heard that, but like something may have changed with him.

    Interesting. As of the II pod it sounded like he may still have a spot. I wonder if the rehab hasn't gone as well.

    Yeah, I think he said they "heard' he didn't have a spot but was enrolled in classes and doing team activities. Seemed like a mis-communication to me.
