DK just flipped to AU.
Probably will drop ND to around 14th in recruiting on 247. No top 50 player and only 2 in the top 100. Not good.

Re: DK just flipped to AU.
He was never coming to ND! NIL and Transfer Portal are killing college football. We can't fix that mess, but my concern is the lack of recruiting stud O and D linemen. We have a poor O line which contributes to the QB and overall ability to move the ball. Quite frankly, any QB would struggle in this O. D line lacks the physical size and nastiness to compete. Yes, injuries are a problem, but we lack suitable replacement linemen on both sides of the ball. Recruit these players to have a great program. Keith Jackson called them " big uglies" for a reason!
Gosh, no......Really?

DK was NEVER sold on ND. He committed early to minimize the attention he was getting, then
picked and chose a few others he wanted to keep in contact with. Don't let the door hit ya.........
No worries, whether he plays or not he'll be in the portal next year.
Headache avoided.
If he starts, SEC defenses will feast on him.
If he sits he will likely look for a new opportunity. Auburn isn't the kind of program where big QB recruits bide there time.
If his NIL is in the millions, the above is likely moot.
As expected
I wish we could have held onto him, but in the end it's his decision, and his alone.
This reminds me of the time that Barry Manilow announced to the world that he was gay in recent years.
The reaction by everyone:
We know.
On another note, this makes the commitment of Noah Grubbs that much more critical.
I'm excited to give the ball to Angelli or Carr next year

Yawn . . . What, now?

Better now than later ….
Carr will be fine. Grubbs in 26 is more important. That said Freeman will probably grab Sluka out of the portal and hand him the job anyway.
We'll probably get him back in the portal sooner or later.

No kidding. He drew this out far too long. Bad feelings left behind here for that reason

They have to have backup plans. No way they just sat around and waited for this
If they don’t have a plan someone needs to be fired.
We need a QB in this class. Can u imagine if 1 of the 3 transfer who is likely we would have 2 QBs on scholarship and have to dip into the portal for numbers.
Seems to make more sense to have a 2026 QB than 2025.
No way, Duece was sricking around in portal times to backup Carr.
Their first rodeo. Sigh

That class is mediocre.
It mirrors the HC.
Get to the playoffs (have a good season) and the class will improve

Signing day is before the playoff.
Freeman better have his spatula ready.
I doubt the poaching will stop there.
Theyll probably use him to flip others.
Offensively this class is poor. And pate in the game to improve
But they have to have a backup plan
Considering how this went they should have moved on 2 months ago. They let him control the process instead of dictating.
Seemed desperate
Better now than dragging it out for several more months

If I followed recruiting, I guess I'd have worked myself into a lather over it

Good for him, I don't miss him yet.
If you look at the last couple MF classes against what we have seen on the field so far, the recruiting rankings don't matter.
And in this environment, he's almost as likely to be at ND as Auburn 2 years from now.
Good for him.

Don't be that guy

Re: good
He would never have stuck around.
It's all about him
He played Freeman and the recruits he tried to get to ND
Yeah, I felt like oh well.... replaceable.
(no message)
At least we have clarity now. And
a guy who will tell ND he's "committed" while seriously entertaining Auburn for months is probably someone whose commitment to Auburn may not be rock solid.
This class is a treading water / small disaster ...the gap is widening
