re: Seems like the players thought we had him too

He probably told ND if they offered him what we offered, he would come.

Yes. Maybe not even what we offered.

If I had to guess, it played out like this:
LSU offered Freeman the most money
Wife wasn’t too keen on moving so far
Freeman gave Notre Dame a number
ND came up to that number and he accepted

ND is probabaly paying him less but it’s enough to satisfy the family factors.
