Your post supports the question in the OP. Which, rephrased, is: if LSU supposedly has a slight advantage in the recruiting department, as BK says, why was Notre Dame higher in the rankings last year and will probably have an an average in the coming years higher than when BK was there?

The answer is that Marcus Freeman is probably a better recruiter, and that Notre Dame changed some of its recruiting principles (not admission standards) after BK left because they had just lost a really good coach coach who I'm sure was bitching about recruiting for 10 years.

Using 24/7 Composite rankings, Kelly's best recruiting class was #5, Freeman's has been #7 and that was 2022 so a class that Kelly was working on before he left. For 2025 ND is #1 now with 18 commits, LSU is #2 with 11. At the end of this cycle, ND will not be #1, probablly not top 5, maybe not even top 10.
