re: Sense of Urgency?

This board continue saying that Brian Kelly isn't a great recruiter........well here is an interesting article that says that he is............


"Well, he’s always been a tremendous one-on-one recruiter when he’s wanted to be. Not known as an Urban Meyer mind you, but Coach Kelly does understand recruiting. He’s been able to beat out Alabama during head-to-head battles, like he did this year for top Arizona cornerback Benjamin Morrison. He was recruited ardently by the Crimson Tide.

Three seasons ago, the Irish reeled in now potential top five pick Kyle Hamilton from Atlanta (Ga.) Marist School. He was a top priority for Georgia Head Football Coach Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs, plus numerous other programs across the country like Michigan and Ohio State, two other schools he took unofficial visits to.


The key with Coach Kelly is him actually sitting down and communicating with a prospect and his family. He’s a laid back personality and one that’s easy to get to know within that setting. As long as he continues to be that way, LSU will gain traction with top Louisiana recruits.

LSU has a really good base for the class of 2022, with 13 players verbally committed to play for the Tigers. From those 13 recruits, eight of them hail from inside the state of Louisiana. There are still several other in-state prospects of note, too.

That list includes former LSU commitment Walker Howard, a pledge that Coach Kelly was at one time attempting to flip to Notre Dame. Howard actually officially visited the Notre Dame campus earlier this fall and has publicly come out and endorsed Kelly's hiring at LSU.

Additionally, Notre Dame has a commitment from Ponchatoula, La. product Amorion Walker, a wide receiver that Alabama, Michigan, LSU, and many other programs extended a scholarship offer."
