Isn't it kind of surprising that we aren't getting any ND kids at all?

I figured one or two of their commits would want to follow the winningest coach in school history and not a coach that has never been a head coach before.

Eh not really since most of the position coaches stayed behind. Although you never know what could happen between now and signing day.

Freeman has a good rapport. Also, it's not over yet.

I think someone said earlier that CBK won’t poach ND commits. But if they decommit, different story.

He left ND to get better athletes.

Only one or two were reasonable possibilities, and many didn’t even really know Kelly in the first place. I think he’s been more personally active in recruiting the last couple of weeks than he has been in years.

Most kids going to ND is because it’s ND.

With where LSU is right now, I think the correct strategy is to sign as many LA young men that you project can play in the upper echelon of the SEC. With current culture that LSU has relative to the last two years of Coach O's tenure and this transfer portal, sign these kids from LA, those that can contribute hit the field next year, those that can't take a RS year and let this new SC team develop them. These kids are not likely to hit the portal after 1 year.

I am just looking at Allen (0.8817 rated *** and Ibieta (0.8655 ***) on 247 composite and now Danny Lewis the TE from Westgate, also a *** on 247 composite, but significantly underrated at 0.8559.

The former staff did not offer, 2 of the 3 above already got offers from Kelly and I think one for Lewis is coming fast, if not already.

Man, I noticed that too, and to make it worse...not a single player from Grand Valley, Central Michigan or Cincinnati followed him to LSU. Telling!

I don't see anyone on their list of commits that even visited LSU. Nearly every commit was recruited by Freeman or Rees who are both still there.

I'm not surprised at all that their commits are all solid. The assistants are usually who establish the strongest bonds with recruits, not the HC. If Freeman, Rees or both had come, then I bet some of them would've come as well.

Wasn't this the reason he left ND because he couldn't win championships with that talent? Now you want him to bring that talent to LSU?
