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

LSU raised BK’s recruiting floor, and Freeman raises ND’s recruiting ceiling. They struggled to get sec speed and top end talent for decades because it’s a hard school to go into places like Miami and Southern Cal and convince people to go to a catholic school in Indiana. But hiring a 40 year old, African American with charisma helps a ton.

Sometimes a move is a win win. We still have to see if Freeman has it as a coach though, lost to some inferior teams the last couple seasons.
