If a kid isn't willing to sit and learn, and isn't entirely sold on the school, they're gone. But you do get a year to evaluate them, and keep the good ones.
ND will probably will lose slower developers.
Just look at safety with Johnson and Blair. That's the way of college sports now. You go get your depth from the portal. Or the kids who are sold on the school. Unless you're Indiana or Tex Tech who seem to rely entirely on the portal.
It does appear though that ND has to start treating this more as a school run business than avenue for educating young athletes. Because that's what it is. You're either in or your not.
