g in blowout victories. In Notre Dame’s first three games this fall, he failed to earn a defensive snap. " No defensive snaps through the first three games! This while OSU ran it down ND's throats to shut the door in Game 1 and Marshall pulled off one of the biggest upsets of ND in history. If ND's starting LB's were all-americans, I could accept limited playing time. But come on, the starting trio have been the weakest part of ND's team.
Unless Kollie is a complete fuck up in practice, which I doubt, there is no reason he should not be playing more. Beyond not putting the best players on the field, what sort of message does it tell the team and recruits if the best players are sitting? It's easy to lose a guy mentally, and now physically with the portal's existence, if he knows he's better and he's not getting a chance.
I expect him to start on Saturday.
to believe he's better than the guys who are starting. If we screw around and lose him to the portal, you can bet he'll be starting soon wherever he lands.

Well put, I 100% agree with your assessment. Kollie is young but his play should increase as the year goes on. He should be a starter next year for sure.

And even he played the best 80% of the time. Recruiting does not mean anything. It is a harsh lesson I learned over and over before I just stopped tracking it.
