re: So BK left ND partially because he wasn’t getting enough talent

But they’re dead even for 2024, and they have 10 4 stars for 2025. I thought academic standards were too high, weather was too cold, whatever, for the quality players to commit in large amounts.

Two things can be true at once.

1. Brian Kelly tapped out on the types of players he could get to Notre Dame and needed to come to a place like LSU where it is easier to recruit elite talent.

2. Marcus Freeman is a better recruiter than Brian Kelly and can get more elite players to Notre Dame than BK could.
